Purpose of each job

In the following sections, we will provide a detailed explanation of the purpose of each job in the pipeline.

hadolint

This job is focused on maintaining high code quality and adhering to best practices in the Dockerfile.

before_script:
 - cd $CI_PROJECT_DIR
script:
 - hadolint --ignore DL3008 Dockerfile

The job is set to start with cd $CI_PROJECT_DIR. It changes the current directory to the project’s root directory, ensuring that the hadolint command is executed from the correct location.

The command hadolint --ignore DL3008 Dockerfile runs the Hadolint tool, which checks and validates Dockerfile against a set of recommended best practices. DL3008 warning rule is ignored.

chatgpt_analysis

‘ChatGPT_analysis’ runs the analysis using the OpenAI’s GPT-4 model. It sends a bunch of details related to the jobs to the GPT-4 model and stores the response in a markdown file. Following are the key steps:

before_script:
 - apt update && apt install curl git jq ca-certificates pandoc openssh-client -y --no-upgrade --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests
 - source variables.env
 - SQUID_VERSION=squid-$SQUID_VERSION

script:
 - JOBS_CONTENT=$(cat .gitlab-ci.yml gitlabci/*)
 - LAST_COMMIT=$(git log -1 --pretty=format:"%h %s%n%b")
 - JSON_CONTENT=$(jq -n --arg model "gpt-4" --arg content "$CONTENT" '{model:$model, messages:[{role:"user", content:$content}] }')
 - RESPONSE=$(curl -X POST https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions -H "Authorization:Bearer $CHATGPT_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "$JSON_CONTENT")
 - ANSWER=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq 'del(.choices[0].message.content)')
 - echo "$ANSWER"
 - echo -e "$RESPONSE" > chatgpt_analysis_$(date +%Y%m%d).md

In the before_script section: - dependencies such as curl, git, jq etc. are installed, - environment variables from variables.env file are sourced, - and the SQUID_VERSION is set.

In the script section it: - fetches the content of the gitlabci jobs, - gets the details of the last commit of the repo, - generates a properly formatted JSON to post to the OpenAI API, - sends a POST request to the OpenAI’s /v1/chat/completions, - processes and stores the response from the OpenAI’s API, - and writes the response into a markdown file named chatgpt_analysis_YYYYMMDD.md.

docker-hub-build-arm

This job builds a Docker image specifically for ARM architecture hardware.

before_script:
 - docker login -u "$DOCKER_HUB_USER" -p "$DOCKER_HUB_TOKEN" $DOCKER_HUB_REGISTRY
script: 
 - docker build -f Dockerfile --build-arg SQUID_VERSION=$SQUID_VERSION --pull -t $CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM .
 - docker push $CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM

In before_script, it logs in to Docker registry using provided credentials from environment variables.

In script, it builds the Docker image using the Dockerfile in the project and tags it with the ARM build tag. Then it pushes the image to Docker registry.

docker-hub-test-arm

This job is all about testing the docker image built specifically for ARM hardware architecture. It verifies if the Docker image is working fine and the build was successful.

before_script:
 - apt update && apt install -y curl --no-upgrade --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests
script:
 - export https_proxy=http://$CONTAINER_TEST_NAME:3128 && curl -k https://www.google.fr

In the before_script section, it installs curl.

In the script section, it sets ‘https_proxy’ environment variable and sends a test curl command to google.fr to ensure that the Docker image works as expected.

push-docker-hub-arm

This job’s purpose is to tag and push Docker images.

before_script:
 - docker login -u "$DOCKER_HUB_USER" -p "$DOCKER_HUB_TOKEN" $DOCKER_HUB_REGISTRY
script:
 - docker pull $CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM
 - docker tag $CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM $HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$SQUID_VERSION-arm 
 - docker push $HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$SQUID_VERSION-arm
 - docker tag $CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM $HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest-arm 
 - docker push $HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE:latest-arm

In before_script, it logs in to the Docker registry.

In script, - Pulls the Docker image built for ARM architecture. - Tags the Docker image with the version number. - Pushes the Docker image to the Docker registry. - Tags the Docker image as ‘latest’. - Pushes the Docker image marked as ‘latest’ to the Docker registry.

Similar steps are repeated for docker-hub-build, docker-hub-test and push-docker-hub jobs but for AMD64 hardware architecture.

getsquid_vars

This job’s purpose is to fetch the latest Squid version and store it in an environment variable.

script:
 - apt update && apt install git curl ca-certificates -y --no-upgrade --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests
 - export SQUID_VERSION=$(curl -LsXGET https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/releases/latest | grep -m 1 "Release" | cut -d " " -f4 |tr -d 'v')
 - echo "SQUID_VERSION=$SQUID_VERSION" > variables.env
 - echo $SQUID_VERSION
 - sed -i "s/{{SQUID_VERSION}}/$SQUID_VERSION/g" README_template.md
 - sed -i "s/{{DATE}}/$(date +%Y%m%d)/g" README_template.md
 - cp README_template.md README.md
 - git config user.email "fredbcode"
 - git config user.name "fredbcode"
 - git add README.md
 - git commit -m "README Auto update [skip ci]" || true
 - git push https://$GITLAB_TOKEN@gitlab.com/fredbcode-images/squid.git HEAD:master || true

This script installs necessary tools (like curl and git) then fetches the squid version and stores it in ‘SQUID_VERSION’, and saves it into ‘variables.env’. It auto-populates the placeholders in README template and replaces the README file with the updated README template, and finally, commits and pushes the changes to git repository.

update_dockerhub_readme

This job’s purpose is to update the README file in DockerHub repository.

script:
 - README_CONTENT=$(cat README.md)
 - PAYLOAD=$(jq -n --arg desc "$README_CONTENT" '{"full_description":$desc}') 
 - TOKEN=$(curl -v -s -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"username":"'"$DOCKER_HUB_USER"'","password":"'"$DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD"'"}' https://hub.docker.com/v2/users/login/ | jq -r .token)
 - curl -X PATCH -H "Authorization:JWT $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "$PAYLOAD" https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/$HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE

This script reads the contents of README.md, packs it into JSON payload, logs in to Docker Hub to retrieve an authentication token, and then sends a PATCH request to update the README file in DockerHub.

Parameters, environment variables, and file references

Each job may reference several parameters, environment variables, and files throughout its execution. Classifying the most commonly used ones and their purpose:

• $CI_PROJECT_DIR: This GITLAB predefined variable points to the root directory of the Gitlab project.
• $DOCKER_HUB_USER and $DOCKER_HUB_TOKEN or DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD: These environment variables are used to log in to DockerHub. They are usually stored as secrets in the GitLab settings.
• $HUB_REGISTRY_IMAGE and CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_ARM or CONTAINER_BUILD_NOPROD_NAME_AMD64 : These are used to reference docker image names.
• SQUID_VERSION : This is an environment variable which holds squid version set by getsquid_vars job.

Dependencies between jobs

Jobs dependencies are basically set by needs keyword. This dependency mechanism allows to run the jobs as soon as their dependencies finish, helping to minimize pipeline execution time.

For example docker-hub-test-arm is dependent on docker-hub-build-arm and getsquid_vars(and so on for the rest of the jobs), meaning it can only run after these jobs have completed successfully.

Expected outcomes or artifacts

Each job produces artifacts that can be either files created during the job or the console output that the job produced.

For instance, chatgpt_analysis job generates a markdown file called chatgpt_analysis_YYYYMMDD.md and html chatgpt_analysis_YYYYMMDD.html.

The created Docker images are uploaded into DockerHub by jobs like docker-hub-build-arm, docker-hub-build, push-docker-hub-arm, and push-docker-hub.

getsquid_vars create an environment file variables.env which is later passed on to jobs that need it.

Explanation of the latest commit

The latest commit 9790c65 README Auto update [skip ci] is actually part of the getsquid_vars job. This commit updates the README file with latest Squid version number and date, and commits and pushes the changes to the repository. README Auto update [skip ci] indicates that this commit is meant to update the README file and [skip ci] keyword is used to prevent Gitlab-CI from starting a new pipeline for this commit. This is especially useful for commits that are only making changes to documentation and you don’t want to trigger CI/CD pipeline unnecessarily.
