Validation of eiffel-remrem-generate periodic builds setup on Nordix Infrastructure

[fdegir]

Description

Periodic builds are setup for this project on Nordix Infrastructure as part of Eiffel Infrastructure and CI/CD establishment work Phase 1.

It is important the builds are reviewed by the project to ensure the build process is correct.
It would also be good if the artifact is fetched from Nordix Registry and verify it works.

Here are more details.

• The job created for this project on Nordix Jenkins runs against the master branch of the project and attempts building container image using podman
• The job regularly polls the repo for commits and gets triggered if one or more commits are found. Please note that this can be adjusted depending on the project needs and trigger can be updated such as to trigger based on new PRs.
• Upon completion of the build, the container image is pushed to eiffel project on Nordix Container Image Registry (Please reach out to @fdegir if you need account on the registry.)

Build process.

• When the job gets triggered, project repo is cloned and the last commit on the tip of master branch is checked out
• Once the clone is ready, job proceed with maven build
  mvn --quiet --batch-mode package -DskipTests
• Upon completion of maven build, the job proceeds with the command to start the container image build using the war file produced in previous step. The command used for the build is
  podman build --build-arg URL=target/generate-service-2.1.2.war --file src/main/docker/Dockerfile --log-level error --tag registry.nordix.org/eiffel/eiffel-remrem-generate:latest .
• Image tag is set to latest since this is a build against the tip of master branch
• The complete build script is available on Nordix CICD Repository.
• Upon completion of the build, the container image is pushed to eiffel project on Nordix Container Image Registry
• The image is available for anonymous users and can be pulled using either one of the commands below
  podman pull registry.nordix.org/eiffel/eiffel-remrem-generate-frontend:latest
docker pull registry.nordix.org/eiffel/eiffel-remrem-generate-frontend:latest

What we need from you is

• Look at the build log and let us know if you notice anything that looks strange
• Correct the build process or the command used for the project build if they are incorrect
• Confirm if right versions of openjdk and maven are used. openjdk version 8u265-b01-0ubuntu2~20.04 and maven version 3.6.3-1. If they are not correct, please pass the correct ones.
• If possible, pull the image and verify it works
  podman pull registry.nordix.org/eiffel/eiffel-remrem-generate:latest
docker pull registry.nordix.org/eiffel/eiffel-remrem-generate:latest
• Java build artifact is not stored anywhere but it can be done and uploaded to Nordix Artifactory. Please let us know if it is desired so we fix this as well.
• Provide your opinion about what type of builds your project needs - PR validation before merge, builds after merge, builds after release, periodic builds

and anything else you may think if.

Please note that upcoming phases will enable testing as well and we will reach out to you when the time comes.
