Usage

Available commands are:

vidar pull - pulls existing docker images from repository to levarage docker caching and make build faster

vidar build - builds docker images

vidar cache - caches intermediate stages

vidar publish - publishes docker images

vidar release - a set of pull, build, cache and publish

vidar deploy - deploys/applies release image with REVISION tag in given k8s namespace and cluster (unser the hood it's kubectl set image command). Before calling the command you must have kubectl context set. If you use GCP/GKE simply call gcloud container clusters get-credentials you-cluser-name --zone=us-east4. If you have deploy-hook-template job defined, it creates deploy-hook job with given REVISION.

vidar monitor_deploy_status - monitors if all containers are up and running, if slack_webhook_url if defined, sends a noficiation (on both failure and success).

vidar kube_exec --name=web --command='bin/console' - execute given command (/bin/ssh by default) inside the first pod with given name (all pods by default).

vidar console --name=web - execute console command (bin/console by default) inside the first pod with given name (all pods by default).
