Two design docs under docs/contributing/design/: - variants.md (renamed from matrix-deploy.md): explains the folder-per-round wrapper that consumes per-role meta/variants.yml and iterates variants at deploy time. Headings normalised to sentence-case; the "legacy unsuffixed inventory path" wording rewritten to drop the historical-context phrasing forbidden by documentation.md. - inventory.md (new): explains how a single round's inventory is assembled out of meta/services.yml plus the variant payloads, which inclusion mechanisms exist (operator --apps, run_after walk, shared-service auto-include via strict `is True`), what lives in the inventory file vs. host_vars/<host>.yml, and when Jinja actually gets rendered (only at play runtime, via utils.cache.applications._render_with_templar). Worked example documents the WordPress + Discourse wiring as a reference case. Cross-links updated wherever they pointed at matrix-deploy.md or its concept name as a file: - docs/agents/action/iteration/role.md - docs/contributing/actions/deploy.md - docs/contributing/artefact/files/plugins/lookup/applications.md - docs/contributing/artefact/files/role/variants.md - scripts/tests/deploy/local/deploy/reuse-kept-app.sh (path comment) Plain-text occurrences of "matrix-deploy" as a concept term inside Python comments, log messages, and test docstrings stay as-is; only file-link references are migrated.

# Local Deploy 🚀
|
|
|
|
Contributor guidance for running deploys against a local development stack on your workstation. For production deploy guidance see the [Deploy Guide](../../administration/deploy.md). For the agent-driven role iteration loop see [role.md](../../agents/action/iteration/role.md). For the matrix-variant mechanism that this page references throughout see [variants.md](../design/variants.md).
|
|
|
|
## Entry Points 🧭
|
|
|
|
Two layers exist for invoking a local deploy:
|
|
|
|
| Layer | When to use |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `make deploy-*` targets in the [Makefile](../../../Makefile) | Default. Stable, opinionated wrappers tuned for the local-dev / CI-on-laptop flow. |
|
|
| `infinito deploy development <subcommand>` (Python CLI) | Direct invocation when you need a flag the make targets do not expose, or when you script multi-step flows yourself. |
|
|
|
|
The make targets ultimately call the same CLI, so any behaviour described here applies to both.
|
|
|
|
## First-Run Baseline 📦
|
|
|
|
Use `deploy-fresh-purged-apps` to bring up a clean slate:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make deploy-fresh-purged-apps APPS="<role> <role>" FULL_CYCLE=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `FULL_CYCLE=true` adds the async update pass (pass 2) and SHOULD stay on for the baseline. The behaviour, per-variant interleaving, and `--full-cycle` flag mechanics are documented in [variants.md](../design/variants.md).
|
|
- The wrapper runs init, then deploy. Init materialises the inventory under `${INVENTORY_DIR}` (set by [inventory.sh](../../../scripts/meta/env/inventory.sh) via [resolve.sh](../../../scripts/inventory/resolve.sh)).
|
|
- For roles with a `roles/<role>/meta/variants.yml` the init step produces one inventory folder per variant; the deploy step iterates them. Folder layout, round semantics, cleanup rules, and the link to the file-format reference live in [variants.md](../design/variants.md).
|
|
|
|
## Edit / Fix / Redeploy Loop 🔁
|
|
|
|
Default redeploy after a local code change:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make deploy-reuse-kept-apps APPS="<role>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Reuses the existing inventory, keeps app state, runs the deploy only.
|
|
- For multi-variant roles you MUST set `VARIANT=<idx>` (see [Pinning A Single Variant](#pinning-a-single-variant-)) so the reuse path targets the round's folder. Without `VARIANT`, the reuse target points at `<INVENTORY_DIR>` which only exists for single-variant roles.
|
|
|
|
If the reuse path keeps reproducing the same failure and you want to test whether app entity state is involved:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make deploy-reuse-purged-apps APPS="<role>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This purges the app's containers + volumes + Ansible-managed state on the host, then re-deploys. Use it once, then return to `deploy-reuse-kept-apps`. Do NOT loop on `deploy-reuse-purged-apps`; if the failure survives a single purge it is not a state issue.
|
|
|
|
Only return to `deploy-fresh-purged-apps` when you have concrete evidence that the inventory or the host stack itself is broken (for example DNS or network failures during the deploy).
|
|
|
|
## Pinning A Single Variant 🎯
|
|
|
|
For multi-variant roles you MAY restrict any of the make targets above (and the dev CLI subcommands) to a single matrix round by setting `VARIANT=<idx>`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Variant 1 baseline only (no full matrix):
|
|
VARIANT=1 make deploy-fresh-purged-apps APPS="<role>" FULL_CYCLE=true
|
|
|
|
# Edit-fix-redeploy loop pinned to that variant:
|
|
VARIANT=1 make deploy-reuse-kept-apps APPS="<role>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pinning is sticky: when iterating with `VARIANT=<idx>`, you MUST set it on every command in the iteration. Mixing pinned and unpinned commands silently retargets a different folder. The full semantics (single-folder mode, no inter-round cleanup, out-of-range error) live in [variants.md](../design/variants.md).
|
|
|
|
## Direct CLI Invocation ⚙️
|
|
|
|
When you need a flag the make wrappers do not expose, call the dev CLI directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
infinito deploy development init --inventory-dir "${INVENTORY_DIR}" --apps "<role>"
|
|
infinito deploy development deploy --inventory-dir "${INVENTORY_DIR}" --apps "<role>" [--variant <idx>] [--debug]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `--inventory-dir` is always the BASE path. The wrapper appends the `-<round>` suffix internally for matrix folders.
|
|
- `--variant <idx>` pins to one round (same semantics as the `VARIANT` env-var).
|
|
- The CLI prints the planned folder list at init time and the per-round summary at deploy time, so you can confirm the matrix shape before any work happens.
|
|
|
|
## Inspect Live State 🔍
|
|
|
|
Use [`make exec`](../../../Makefile) to drop into the running container shell. The repo is mounted at `/opt/src/infinito`, so code changes are visible immediately. Inspect logs and current state BEFORE redeploying so the failing snapshot stays available.
|
|
|
|
For TLS-enabled local sites, run [`make trust-ca`](../../../Makefile) once after the first deploy and restart the browser; alternatively use `curl -k` on the command line.
