==== Windows servers: ====
* All installation files and prerequisites are in the \\ncc1701d\SourceFiles\Git network folder
* Install the Windows Git client (Git-2.11.1-64-bit)
* Install Python for Windows (pywin32-220.win-amd64-py2.7)
* Reboot
* Make sure you can run Python from command line without specifying the installation path (open CMD, then type python -v, you should get the python command prompt. Close it by typing 'quit()')
* Make sure you can run Git from command line. Just type git in the CMD window
* If the above two are not working, just check the Windows PATH environmental variable in the computer's properties
* Now, installing GitAutoDeploy:
** Open the Command Prompt as admin
** cd to 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot'
** run 'git clone https://github.com/olipo186/Git-Auto-Deploy.git'
** cd to newly created subfolder: 'cd Git-Auto-Deploy'
** run the Python requirements checker 'pip install -r requirements.txt' It will check and install all required Python files, if needed.
* From the \\ncc1701d\SourceFiles\Git network path copy these files to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Git-Auto-Deploy folder:
** gitautodeploy.bat
** GitAutoDeploy.py
** invisible.vbs
** config.json
* Please note that if the 'Hide extensions for known file types' option is ticked, the above 4 files will be visible without their extension!
* Create a folder which will contain the IIS files. In this example I'll be using 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\BleckmannAPItest'
* You will point your new IIS website to the above folder.
* Edit the config.json file according to your needs. Particularly change the:
** GitLab url
** Branch to manage (uat-server)
** Local path for the files ('C:/inetpub/wwwroot/BleckmannAPItest')
*** Please note I'm using forwardslash instead of backslash. This is the way it needs to be entered in the config.json file!
* Should you need to serve more than one project, please refer to the complex-config.json file in the same network folder.
* Now get the initial copy of the website from GitLab:
** start CMD and browse to your new empty folder: 'cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot\BleckmannAPItest'
** run git clone https://root@gitlab.apoyar.eu/root/BleckmannAPI.git .
** don't forget the ending dot after the url as this makes sure the files will be saved to the current folder
* Check the contents of the folder
* Add the http://hostname:8001 as webhook to GitLab project in question: https://gitlab.apoyar.eu/root/BleckmannAPI/settings/integrations
* Again, the above url is '''just an example'''
* As for the hostname, it's always good to check that the computer name (for example bleckmannapi.apoyar-networks.com) is pingable from Linuxweb, which is the machine GitLab runs on
* Time for the console test:
** Open CMD
** copy and paste 'python C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Git-Auto-Deploy\GitAutoDeploy.py --config C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Git-Auto-Deploy\config.json'
* You'll get the initialization messages and the script should stop at 'listening on'
* Go to GitLab, project in question, settings, Integrations
* Find the entry you have just added recently and hit Test
* You should get the 'Hook executed succesfully' blue bar at the top.
* Now the startup:
** Open the registry editor: start, run, 'regedit'
** Browse to the: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
** Add a new 'Expandable String Value'
** Name it 'GitAutoDeploy'
** Copy and paste this value: "%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe" "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Git-Auto-Deploy\invisible.vbs" "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Git-Auto-Deploy\gitautodeploy.bat"
** Reboot the server and '''log on as administrator'''
** The above is required as the python script won't otherwise run in the background
* Test
