README

This package can help you to set up deployment of your TYPO3 installation with GitLab CI. Your TYPO3 installation has to be composer based.

Setup

Include the following configuration in your root composer.json:

"require": {
    "smichaelsen/typo3-gitlab-ci": "^4.0.0"
},
"extra": {
    "helhum/typo3-console": {
        "install-binary": false,
        "install-extension-dummy": false
    },
    "typo3/cms": {
        "cms-package-dir": "{$vendor-dir}/typo3/cms",
        "web-dir": "web"
    }
},
"scripts": {
    "install-gitlab-ci": [
        "{$vendor-dir}/smichaelsen/typo3-gitlab-ci/scripts/install.sh"
    ],
    "post-autoload-dump": [
        "@install-gitlab-ci"
    ]
}

Run composer update to install everything. You'll find a .env.example in your root directory. Copy it to .env, add it to .gitignore and populate it with the settings for your local TYPO3 installation.

If previously there was no typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php there will be one after installing this package that will take care of loading the settings from .env. If you have a custom typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php already, just include the following line at the beginning of the file:

(new \Smichaelsen\Typo3GitlabCi\ConfigLoader())->populate();

Experimental: Setup a fresh installation with helhum/minimal-typo3-distribution

composer create-project helhum/minimal-typo3-distribution my-typo3-project ^8
cd my-typo3-project
./vendor/bin/typo3cms install:setup

The last command is interactive and will ask for your DB credentials. Select "site" or "no" as setup type.

composer require smichaelsen/typo3-gitlab-ci dev-master && vendor/smichaelsen/typo3-gitlab-ci/scripts/install.sh
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t web/

GitLab variables

Set the following variables in your GitLab project to get a working deployment.

⭐ Prefixing a variable name with a certain branch name will make the setting valid only for this branch. E.g. master_DBPASS will only be valid for the master branch and will then take precedence over DBPASS if that is configured.

✨ Generate an SSH key pair and store the private key in SSH_PRIVATE_KEY. Add the public key to .ssh/authorized_keys on your target server(s). Additionally add the public key as "Deploy Key" to private repositories that you need to load (e.g. via composer).

Custom Scripts and configuration

You can invoke your own scripts at certain points of the deployment process. After installing this package you will find a folder gitlab-script/ in your root directory with files prefixed with an underscore _. Remove the underscore to activate the file and fill it with your own commands.

after-composer.sh

Will be executed in the composer job which loads all dependencies and then moves everything to the .Build folder that is needed in the next stages and will eventually be deployed. You can use this custom script to influence the contents of .Build.

build-extensions.sh

Will be executed in the build_extensions job. If your TYPO3 extensions need to be built before the deployment, you can do it here. This job is executed with the node:8 docker image, which means the machine is well prepared for node based frontend buildings (npm, grunt etc). But your script can also install other software you need.

pre-deploy.sh

Will be executed in the deploy job, right before the code is actually transfered to the target server. Use this script to do last minute preparations on the target server.

Hint: In your own scripts you have all your Gitlab CI variables available. So you can perform commands on the target server like this:

ssh -p $SSH_PORT $SSH_USERNAME@$SSH_HOST "echo 'Hello from the target server!'"

rsync-build-excludes.txt

List files and directories in here that you want to exclude from your whole CI process. This speeds up your CI process and lowers disk usage on the runner server. List one file / directory pattern per line.

rsync-deploy-excludes.txt

List files and directories in here that you used in the CI process but don't want to deploy onto the target server. It's good practice and improves security to only ship to the production server what is really needed to run then website. List one file / directory pattern per line.

Versions and updating

This package uses semantic versioning. So you are encouraged to require the package with ^4.0.0. Then you can expect receiving bugfix releases and improvements without breaking changes.

Breaking Changes:

4.x to 5.x:

• last commit: TYPO3 is now required in version 8.7

3.x to 4.x:

• 88a6e934: PHP is now required in version 7.0
• 1c8d9c70: The web directory was renamed from Web to lowercase web. Be sure to set "web-dir": "web" in your composer.json (see above at "Setup"). Also be sure your web server host config points to the lower case directory. On case insensitive file systems (like macOS) you will have to rename your directory manually.
• dbdf3ba2: The build_extensions job is now executed with a node 8 image instead of node 7. Make sure your frontend building works based on node 8.

2.x to 3.x:

• 384242e0: The .Build folder is now built from all files excluding some certain files and directories (such as .git) instead of only copying a list of known files and directory. That can result in additional files landing in the .Build folder and being deploying eventually. Use the new gitlab-ci-scripts/rsync-build-excludes.txt to define additional excludes.
• a6a12ee3: The fileadmin sync feature was removed as it was complex to setup and buggy. The pipeline runs faster now without the unnecessary stage.
• ff869f95: The TYPO3 console now additonally executes extension:setupactive and upgrade:all. Please check if that is desired for your project.
• 055f641c: download and typo3conf/LFEditor are not excluded from deployment anymore, because they are very project specific. If you rely on them not being rsynced, add them to gitlab-ci-scripts/rsync-deploy-excludes.txt
• cf5cc8b0: The build_extensions job is now executed with a node 7 image instead of node 6. Make sure your frontend building works based on node 7.

1.x to 2.x:

• Instead of providing both ssh user name and host in SSH_HOST, now there is a separate SSH_USERNAME variable. You have to set it to make sure your deployment works.
