I use Gitlab runner and works fine for a single server. The gitlab-ci.yml is simple:
stages:
- test
- deploy
test:
stage: test
image: php
tags:
- docker
script:
- echo "Run tests..."
deploy:
stage: deploy
tags:
- shell
script:
- sh deploy.sh
As i said this is fine for a single server but to deploy same app on another server? I tried with same gitlab-runner config (same conf.toml) but then it was only updating one of them randomly.
Is there somehow gitlab Ci to be triggered by more than 1 runner and deploy all of them according gitlab-ci.yml?
You can register several runners (e.g. tagged serverA and serverB) from different servers and have multiple deployment jobs, each of them performed by a different runner. This is because you can set more than one tag in a job and only a runner having all the tags will be used.
stages:
- test
- deploy
test:
stage: test
image: php
tags:
- docker
script:
- echo "Run tests..."
deployA:
stage: deploy
tags:
- shell
- serverA
script:
- sh deploy.sh
deployB:
stage: deploy
tags:
- shell
- serverB
script:
- sh deploy.sh
However, take into account a situation when one of the deployment jobs fails - this would end up in you having two different versions of the code on the servers. Depending on your situation this might or might not be a problem.
