To automate the crea,on of storefronts using DevOps tools like Docker, GitHub,

and CI/CD pipelines, follow this structured approach:

1. Template Repository Setup


• GitHub Template Repo: Convert your e-commerce repository into a GitHub Template
Repository for easy forking.

• Dockerize the App: Ensure your repo includes:

– Dockerfile for the e-commerce app.

– docker-compose.yml with services like:

yaml
version: '3'
services:
app:
build: .
ports:
- "3000:3000"
env_file: .env
depends_on:
- db
db:
image: postgres:latest
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_NAME}
POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
ports:
- "5432:5432"
volumes:
db_data:

– .env.template with placeholder variables (e.g., DB_NAME, DB_USER, SECRET_KEY).

2. Automa,on Workflow
A. User Triggers Store Crea.on
• Your main site’s backend (e.g., Node.js/Django) captures user input (store name, domain,
etc.).
B. Fork the Template Repo
• Use the GitHub API to fork the template repo programmaMcally:
python
# Example using Python and PyGithub
from github import Github

g = Github("YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN")
template_repo = g.get_repo("your_org/ecommerce-template")
new_repo = template_repo.create_fork(organization="your_org")

C. Customize the Forked Repo


• Replace placeholders in the forked repo with user-specific values:

– Update .env using the GitHub API or a CI/CD job.

– Inject variables like:

DB_NAME=store123
DB_USER=user123
DB_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 16)

• Commit changes to the forked repo.

3. Infrastructure Provisioning
A. Database & Services
• Use Docker Compose or Terraform to provision resources:
bash
# Deploy with Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

• For producMon, use cloud databases (e.g., AWS RDS, PlanetScale) instead of local Postgres.

B. Dynamic Reverse Proxy


• Use Traefik or Nginx to route traffic to each store’s container:

yaml
# Traefik labels in docker-compose.yml
labels:
- "traefik.http.routers.store123.rule=Host(`store123.yourdomain.com`)"
4. CI/CD Pipeline (GitHub Ac,ons)
Add a .github/workflows/deploy.yml file to the template repo:

yaml
name: Deploy Store
on:
push:
branches: [main]

jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: Generate .env


run: |
echo "DB_NAME=${{ secrets.DB_NAME }}" > .env
echo "DB_USER=${{ secrets.DB_USER }}" >> .env
echo "DB_PASSWORD=${{ secrets.DB_PASSWORD }}" >> .env

- name: Deploy with Docker


env:
SSH_KEY: ${{ secrets.SSH_KEY }}
run: |
ssh -i "$SSH_KEY" user@server "cd /path/to/store123 && docker-
compose up -d"

5. Hos,ng Setup
• OpBon 1: Dedicated Server/VPS

– Run Docker on a server (e.g., AWS EC2, DigitalOcean Droplet).

– Use GitHub AcMons to SSH and deploy containers.

• OpBon 2: Kubernetes

– Deploy to a cluster (e.g., EKS, GKE) using Helm or Kustomize.


• OpBon 3: Serverless Containers

– Use AWS Fargate or Google Cloud Run.

6. Security & Isola,on


• IsolaBon: Each store runs in its own Docker container with a separate database.

• Secrets: Store credenMals in GitHub Secrets or HashiCorp Vault.

• Backups: Schedule database backups with cron jobs or cloud tools.

7. Monitoring
• Use Prometheus + Grafana or Datadog to track container health.

• Set up alerts for downMme or high resource usage.

8. Example End-to-End Flow


1. User signs up on your main site.

2. Your backend:

– Forks the GitHub repo.

– Generates DB credenMals and updates the repo.

– Triggers the GitHub AcMons deploy job.

3. GitHub AcMons deploys the containerized app to your server.

4. Traefik routes store123.yourdomain.com to the new container.
