resolver-docker

Django API for resolver data, deployed on Sigma2 NIRD (nird-lmd) in namespace gbif-no-ns8095k.

Local development

Create environment settings in dev.env (one KEY=value per line), then run:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

Run tests:

docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from web

Production deployment target

• Namespace: gbif-no-ns8095k
• Deployment: resolver-web
• Service: resolver-web
• Ingress hosts:
  • resolver.gbif.no (public canonical host)
  • resolver.gbif-no.sigma2.no (platform host)
• K8s manifests: k8s/nird/

Detailed cluster setup notes are in k8s/nird/README.md.

One-time prerequisites

1. Configure kubectl context nird-lmd with nird-toolkit-auth-helper.
2. Ensure resolver-env secret exists in gbif-no-ns8095k:

kubectl create secret generic resolver-env \
  -n gbif-no-ns8095k \
  --from-env-file=prod.env \
  --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -

Deploying new code changes

Recommended flow (immutable image tag)

1. Build and push a tagged image:

export IMAGE_TAG=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t gbifnorway/resolver:${IMAGE_TAG} --push .

2. Update deployment image and wait for rollout:

kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k set image deploy/resolver-web resolver-web=gbifnorway/resolver:${IMAGE_TAG}
kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout status deploy/resolver-web

3. Verify:

kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k get pods,svc,ingress
curl -fsS https://resolver.gbif-no.sigma2.no/?format=json | head

Current CI flow (latest)

This repo has GitHub Actions to test and publish gbifnorway/resolver:latest on push to main.

After CI publishes, restart deployment to pull the new image:

kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout restart deploy/resolver-web
kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout status deploy/resolver-web

Rollback

If a deploy fails:

kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout history deploy/resolver-web
kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout undo deploy/resolver-web
kubectl --context nird-lmd -n gbif-no-ns8095k rollout status deploy/resolver-web
