Im using Jenkins right now to basically handle docker deployments. Without taking the time to actually read up on it in depth, does GitLab CI handle ways for me to essentially just pull prebuilt images and run them on a targeted server with desired settings?
I'm already preparing to move to GitLab CI for images that I build myself (since Im already storing the Dockerfiles on gitlab)
That seems to be referring to using docker images as part of the build process.
Im referring to using docker images as the deliverable. I mostly want to just have a gui to do "docker pull x" "docker stop xcon && docker rm xcon" "docker run --name xcon -v /volumes/x/config:/var/www/config -p 8080:80 x" for me. There would technically be nothing to be stored in the gitlab repo here, except the config.
Replace the "docker pull x" step with docker build in the event that I'm using a dockerfile to build a custom image, which could trigger as a result of updating the dockerfile... but usually the dockerfile doesnt change, it just needs to be re-run to pull in upstream changes.
Thanks for clarifying. I'm pretty sure you can do everything you want here. You could install a runner on your production box and run those commands within a deploy job.
