Deploy your applications with GitLab CI using the Qovery CLI.

​
Prerequisites

Before you can deploy your application with GitLab CI, you need to:
  1. Install the Qovery CLI
  2. Generate a Qovery API token (via CLI or Console)
  3. Set the environment variable QOVERY_CLI_ACCESS_TOKEN with your API token
  4. Disable Qovery Auto Deployment on the services you want to deploy manually

​
Deploy a Container Application

Here is an example of a GitLab CI configuration file (.gitlab-ci.yml) to deploy a container application: 
stages:
  - build
  - deploy

build:
  stage: build
  image: docker:latest
  services:
    - docker:dind
  script:
    - docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
    - docker build -t $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA .
    - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  image: alpine:latest
  script:
    - apk add --no-cache curl bash
    - curl -s https://get.qovery.com | bash
    - export QOVERY_CLI_ACCESS_TOKEN=$QOVERY_CLI_ACCESS_TOKEN
    - qovery container deploy \
        --organization "My Organization" \
        --project "My Project" \
        --environment "Production" \
        --container "myapp" \
        --tag $CI_COMMIT_SHA \
        --watch
  only:
    - main
This workflow assumes you have:
  • A container registry connected to Qovery
  • An existing container application on Qovery
  • Set the QOVERY_CLI_ACCESS_TOKEN variable in your GitLab CI/CD settings

​
Deploy a Single Application

Use the Qovery CLI to deploy a single application: 
qovery application deploy \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "Production" \
  --application "myapp" \
  --commit-id <commit-id> \
  --watch

​
Deploy Multiple Applications

​
Different Applications with Different Commits

qovery application deploy \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "Production" \
  --application "app1" \
  --commit-id <commit-id-1> \
  --watch

qovery application deploy \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "Production" \
  --application "app2" \
  --commit-id <commit-id-2> \
  --watch

​
Multiple Applications with the Same Commit (Monorepo)

qovery application deploy \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "Production" \
  --applications "app1,app2,app3" \
  --commit-id <commit-id> \
  --watch

​
Manage Preview Environments

​
Clone an Environment

qovery environment clone \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "Production" \
  --new-environment-name "preview-mr-123" \
  --cluster "my-cluster"

​
Update Application Branch in Cloned Environment

qovery application update \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "preview-mr-123" \
  --application "myapp" \
  --branch "feature-branch"

​
Deploy the Preview Environment

qovery application deploy \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "preview-mr-123" \
  --application "myapp" \
  --commit-id <commit-id> \
  --watch

​
Delete Preview Environment

qovery environment delete \
  --organization "My Organization" \
  --project "My Project" \
  --environment "preview-mr-123" \
  --yes

​
Integration with Terraform

If you’re using Terraform to manage your infrastructure, you can integrate it with your CI/CD pipeline. See the Terraform Provider documentation for more information.
