Creating Targets

Let’s simulate development in the branch devel, as you change it, it generates Targets tagged with devel and all devices following devel receive updates.

Imagine, you will keep developing on devel but you want to decide which Target your device tagged with tutorial should update to.

The latest devel Target is also tagged with tutorial.

Change the shellhttpd application to create new Target:

Edit the file docker-compose.yml according to the example below:

gedit shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml

shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.2'

services:
  httpd:
    image: hub.foundries.io/cavel/shellhttpd:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:${PORT-8080}
    environment:
      MSG: "This is the TEST 02"

Note that MSG is defined with This is the TEST 02.

Commit and push all changes done in the containers folder:

git status
git add shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml
git commit -m "This is the TEST 02"
git push

Go to https://app.foundries.io, select your Factory and click on Targets:

The latest Target named containers-devel should be the CI job you just created.

Wait until it finishes and change your application again.

Edit the file docker-compose.yml according to the example below:

gedit shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml

shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.2'

services:
  httpd:
    image: hub.foundries.io/cavel/shellhttpd:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:${PORT-8080}
    environment:
      MSG: "This is the TEST 03"

Note that MSG is defined with This is the TEST 03.

Commit and push all changes done in the containers folder:

git status
git add shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml
git commit -m "This is the TEST 03"
git push

Keep watching your jobs on https://app.foundries.io and once it finishes change your application one more time.

Edit the file docker-compose.yml according to the example below:

gedit shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml

shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.2'

services:
  httpd:
    image: hub.foundries.io/cavel/shellhttpd:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:${PORT-8080}
    environment:
      MSG: "This is the TEST 04"

Note that MSG is defined with This is the TEST 04.

Commit and push all changes done in the containers folder:

git status
git add shellhttpd/docker-compose.yml
git commit -m "This is the TEST 04"
git push

Finally, you should have three new versions in the Targets version list.

Note

Because your device is now following tutorial, it should not receive updates.
