 +====== DevOps ======
  
 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +Welcome to the Unicis DevOps Handbook. This guide is designed to help you understand and manage the DevOps processes for the Unicis Platform, which is built on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure using OVH Cloud and utilizes CapRover for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).
 +
 +===== Platform Overview =====
 +
 +Unicis Platform is a robust solution designed to deliver a seamless PaaS experience. Our infrastructure is hosted on OVH Cloud, ensuring reliability and scalability. The CI/CD processes are streamlined using CapRover, a powerful, user-friendly deployment solution.
 +
 +===== Infrastructure: OVH Cloud =====
 +
 +OVH Cloud provides the backbone for our infrastructure. Here’s how we leverage OVH Cloud for our PaaS needs:
 +
 +==== 1. OVH Cloud Setup ====
 +
 +  * **Account Creation**: Create an account on the OVH Cloud platform.
 +  * **Project Setup**: Set up a new project in the OVH Cloud dashboard.
 +  * **Resource Allocation**: Allocate necessary resources (compute instances, storage, network configurations) based on project requirements.
 +
 +==== 2. Network Configuration ====
 +
 +  * **VPC Setup**: Create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for secure networking.
 +  * **Subnets and Security Groups**: Define subnets and configure security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic.
 +  * **Load Balancers**: Set up load balancers to distribute traffic efficiently.
 +
 +==== 3. Storage Solutions ====
 +
 +  * **Object Storage**: Use OVH Cloud Object Storage for scalable and secure data storage.
 +  * **Block Storage**: Attach block storage volumes to instances as needed.
 +
 +==== 4. Monitoring and Alerts ====
 +
 +  * **Monitoring Tools**: Integrate monitoring tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus) to keep track of infrastructure health.
 +  * **Alerting Mechanisms**: Set up alerts for critical events and thresholds.
 +
 +===== CI/CD: CapRover Solution =====
 +
 +CapRover is our chosen solution for managing CI/CD processes due to its simplicity and powerful features.
 +
 +==== 1. CapRover Setup ====
 +
 +  * **Installation**: Deploy CapRover on a dedicated OVH Cloud instance.
 +  * **Dashboard Access**: Access the CapRover dashboard via the web interface.
 +  * **Initial Configuration**: Configure basic settings such as domain names and SSL certificates.
 +
 +==== 2. Application Deployment ====
 +
 +  * **Creating Applications**: Create new applications in CapRover for each service/component.
 +  * **Deployment Methods**: Deploy applications using Docker images or directly from Git repositories.
 +  * **Environment Variables**: Configure environment variables for each application as needed.
 +
 +==== 3. CI/CD Pipeline ====
 +
 +  * **Git Integration**: Integrate Git repositories with CapRover for automatic deployments.
 +  * **Build Automation**: Set up automated build processes using CI/CD tools like GitLab CI.
 +  * **Deployment Automation**: Configure CapRover to automatically deploy new builds to the respective environments.
 +
 +===== Website and Handbook Deployment =====
 +
 +Our website and handbook are continuously deployed using CI/CD and hosted on GitLab Pages.
 +
 +==== 1. Repository Setup ====
 +
 +  * **GitLab Repository**: Create a GitLab repository for the website and handbook source code.
 +  * **Branching Strategy**: Implement a branching strategy (e.g., main, develop, feature branches).
 +
 +==== 2. CI/CD Configuration ====
 +
 +  * **GitLab CI Configuration**: Define CI/CD pipelines in ''%%.gitlab-ci.yml%%'' file.
 +  * **Build and Test**: Include stages for building and testing the website/handbook.
 +  * **Deployment**: Add deployment stages to publish content to GitLab Pages.
 +
 +==== 3. GitLab Pages ====
 +
 +  * **Pages Setup**: Configure GitLab Pages to serve the website and handbook.
 +  * **Custom Domain**: Set up a custom domain for the GitLab Pages site if needed.
 +
 +===== Best Practices =====
 +
 +  * **Version Control**: Use Git for version control and maintain a clear commit history.
 +  * **Code Reviews**: Implement a code review process to ensure quality and consistency.
 +  * **Security**: Regularly update dependencies and apply security patches.
 +  * **Backup and Recovery**: Set up regular backups and a recovery plan for critical data.
 +
 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +
 +==== Common Issues ====
 +
 +  * **Deployment Failures**: Check build logs and CapRover dashboard for error details.
 +  * **Performance Issues**: Monitor resource usage and optimize application performance.
 +  * **Network Problems**: Verify network configurations and security group rules.
 +
 +==== Debugging Tips ====
 +
 +  * **Logs and Monitoring**: Use logging and monitoring tools to diagnose issues.
 +  * **Documentation**: Refer to official documentation and community forums for solutions.
