Ick is currently retired and does not get any development.

Ick is a continuous Integration system. It is currently in development and ALPHA quality. Some features may work and anything may change in a future release.

If you’re looking for something to use for real, ick is probably not ready for you yet. If you’d like ick to grow into something takes care of all your CI worries, please join and help make that happen.

Example .ick file

An .ick file defines projects and pipelines for ick. Here’s an example:

projects:

  # Define project to build a container "system tree": basically
  # the "chroot" for the container.

  - project: stretch_systree
    pipelines:
      - build_debian_systree
    parameters:
      debian_codename: stretch
      packages:
        - build-essential
        - git
        - jq
      artifact_name: stretch_systree

  # Define a project to say "hello, world" inside a container.x

  - project: hello
    pipelines:
      - prepare_container
      - hello
    parameters:
      systree_name: stretch_systree

pipelines:

  # Define a pipeline of actions to build a system tree. Note
  # that this is reuseable for different systrees, by the project
  # giving it different parameters.

  - pipeline: build_debian_systree
    parameters:
      - debian_codename
      - packages
      - artifact_name
    actions:
      - debootstrap: auto
        mirror: http://deb.debian.org/debian
        where: host

      - shell: |
          apt-get install -y python3
        where: chroot

      - python: |
          import os, subprocess
          def runcmd(argv, **kwargs):
            subprocess.check_call(argv, **kwargs)
          runcmd(['apt-get', 'install', '-y'] + params['packages'])
        where: chroot

      - archive: workspace
        where: host

  # Prepare container for building: get systree from artifact store.

  - pipeline: prepare_container
    actions:
      - action: populate_systree
        where: host

  # Execute "echo hello, world" inside the container for a project.

  - pipeline: hello
    actions:
      - shell: |
          echo hello, world
          pwd
        where: container
