Sanic Golang Templater

Sanic uses templaters to convert configuration templates defined in various languages into .yaml or .json files, ready to be processed by kubernetes

This specific one uses golang text templates

In general, you should choose the same template language as your webserver or configuration templater, to reduce developer cognitive overhead.

Usage

1. Build this image: docker build -t distributedcontainers/templater-golang .
2. Run this image on the example files: docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/example/in:/in:ro -v $(pwd)/example/out:/out:rw distributedcontainers/templater-golang

Usage for sanic

1. Create some services in dockerfiles
2. Create a deploy/in directory
3. Add deploy/out to your gitignore (i.e., /deploy/out)
4. Make some kubernetes deployment yamls in /deploy/in, with images set to {{getenv "REGISTRY_HOST"}}/sanic-site:{{getenv "IMAGE_TAG"}}, where sanic-site should be replaced with the name of your image
5. Run sanic deploy to build and kubectl apply the templated resources.

Environment variables

Sanic furnishes your templater with the following variables:

• SANIC_ENV, the name of the environment you are currently in
• PROJECT_DIR, the directory in which the projects' files are live mounted (only in development)
  • this is useful for live mounting your files using a kubernetes volume, see the example for details.
• REGISTRY_HOST, the registry for the current sanic environment
• IMAGE_TAG, the tag for the current state of the repository (i.e., if you sanic build without specifying a tag, it will match up with this)
