Evolveum MidPoint Github CI/CD

General
1

new to MIdPoint, just deployed it on an EC2 instance using docker-compose.yml file provided by Evolveum and I dont seem to find any of the config files in the docker containers

My question is how to properly set it up to use Github with CI/CD? I would like to be able to change and push from Github changes like config files, styling (maybe) etc.

1. Configure MidPoint for GitHub Integration:

  • Access MidPoint Admin Console: Log in to the MidPoint Admin Console using the default credentials (admin/admin).
  • Navigate to Connectors: Go to Connectors > Add Connector .
  • Select GitHub Connector: Choose the GitHub connector and click Next .
  • Configure Connector Settings:
    • Enter the GitHub organization or user name.
    • Provide the GitHub access token (you can generate one in your GitHub settings).
    • Set the desired synchronization interval.
    • Click Next and then Finish .

2. Create a GitHub Repository:

  • Create a new GitHub repository where you’ll store your MidPoint configuration files and other assets.

3. Set Up CI/CD Pipeline:

  • Choose a CI/CD tool like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.
  • Create a new pipeline for your MidPoint project.
  • Configure the pipeline to:
    • Clone your GitHub repository.
    • Build your MidPoint configuration files and any other necessary assets.
    • Deploy the changes to your MidPoint instance.

4. Deploy MidPoint Configuration:

  • In your CI/CD pipeline, use the midpoint-cli tool to deploy your configuration changes. The command might look like this:

Bash

midpoint-cli deploy --config-file <path/to/your/config.xml>
  • Replace <path/to/your/config.xml> with the actual path to your MidPoint configuration file.

5. Additional Considerations:

  • Configuration Management: Consider using configuration management tools like Ansible or Puppet to automate the deployment process.
  • Security: Implement appropriate security measures to protect your GitHub credentials and MidPoint configuration files.
  • Testing: Set up automated tests to verify the correctness of your configuration changes before deployment.
  • Monitoring: Monitor your MidPoint instance for any issues or errors that might arise during the CI/CD process.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully integrate MidPoint with GitHub and implement a CI/CD pipeline for automated deployments.
