🐳 Implementazione Docker e CI/CD - Riepilogo Completo

📋 Panoramica

È stata completata l'implementazione completa della containerizzazione Docker e del sistema CI/CD per il progetto Data-Coupler.

✅ Componenti Creati

1. Dockerfile per Linux (Dockerfile)

• Base Image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:9.0
• Build Multi-Stage: Ottimizzazione dimensione immagine
• Features:
  • Supporto ExcelDataReader (libgdiplus)
  • Gestione database in /var/lib/Data_Coupler
  • Health check endpoint su /health
  • Esposizione porta 7550
  • Environment Production ready

2. Dockerfile per Windows (Dockerfile.windows)

• Base Image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:9.0-nanoserver-ltsc2022
• Build Multi-Stage: Ottimizzazione dimensione immagine
• Features:
  • Compatibile con Windows Server 2022
  • Gestione database in C:\ProgramData\Data_Coupler
  • Health check con PowerShell
  • Esposizione porta 7550

3. Docker Ignore (.dockerignore)

Esclude file non necessari dalla build:

• Build artifacts (bin, obj)
• Database files (*.db)
• VS files (.vs, *.user)
• Git e documentazione
• Scripts e test results

4. GitHub Actions Workflow (.github/workflows/docker-build.yml)

Job: build-linux

• Runner: ubuntu-latest
• Build per piattaforma Linux (amd64)
• Uso di Docker Buildx per cache ottimizzata
• Push automatico su GitHub Container Registry

Job: build-windows

• Runner: windows-2022
• Build per Windows containers
• Supporto nativo Windows Docker

Job: create-manifest

• Crea manifest multi-platform
• Unifica immagini Linux e Windows sotto stesso tag
• Consente docker pull automatico per platform corretta

Tag Strategy:

Branch Main:
  - latest (multi-platform)
  - latest-windows
  - main-{sha}
  - main-{date}

Branch Dev:
  - dev-latest (multi-platform)
  - dev-latest-windows
  - dev-{sha}
  - dev-{date}

Branch Staging:
  - staging-latest (multi-platform)
  - staging-latest-windows
  - staging-{sha}
  - staging-{date}

5. Docker Compose Files

docker-compose.yml (Linux)

• Service configuration completa
• Volume per persistenza dati
• Health check configurato
• Resource limits (2 CPU, 2GB RAM)
• Restart policy: unless-stopped

app.MapGet("/health", () => Results.Ok(new { 
    status = "healthy", 
    timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow 
}));

🚀 Come Utilizzare

Opzione 1: Pull da GitHub Container Registry

Container Pubblico (nessuna auth richiesta)

# 1. Rendi pubblico il package su GitHub
#    Repository → Packages → data-coupler → Settings → Public

# 2. Pull senza autenticazione
docker pull ghcr.io/alessiodalsi/data-coupler:latest

# 3. Run
docker run -d -p 7550:7550 ghcr.io/alessiodalsi/data-coupler:latest

Container Privato (con auth)

# 1. Crea Personal Access Token (PAT) su GitHub
#    Settings → Developer settings → PAT → Scope: read:packages

# 2. Login
echo "YOUR_TOKEN" | docker login ghcr.io -u YOUR_USERNAME --password-stdin

# 3. Pull e run
docker pull ghcr.io/alessiodalsi/data-coupler:latest
docker run -d -p 7550:7550 ghcr.io/alessiodalsi/data-coupler:latest

Opzione 2: Build Locale

# PowerShell
.\build-docker.ps1 -Target linux -Test

# Bash
./build-docker.sh linux

# Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

Opzione 3: Automatic CI/CD

Ogni push su main, dev, o staging:

1. ✅ GitHub Actions triggera automaticamente
2. 🔨 Compila progetto .NET 9.0
3. 🐳 Crea immagini Docker (Linux + Windows)
4. 📤 Push su GitHub Container Registry
5. 🏷️ Applica tag basati su branch

🔒 Configurazione Container Pubblico vs Privato

Container Pubblico (Raccomandato per Open Source)

Vantaggi:

• ✅ Pull senza autenticazione
• ✅ Facile distribuzione
• ✅ Nessun token management

Configurazione:

1. Vai: https://github.com/AlessioDalsi/Data-Coupler/packages
2. Seleziona package data-coupler
3. Settings → Change visibility → Public
4. Conferma

Container Privato (Raccomandato per Enterprise)

Vantaggi:

• 🔒 Controllo accessi
• 🔒 Solo team autorizzati
• 🔒 Audit trail

Configurazione:

1. Mantieni visibilità Private (default)
2. Settings → Manage team access
3. Aggiungi utenti/team con permessi specifici

Access Methods:

• GitHub Actions: Usa GITHUB_TOKEN automatico
• Developers: Usa Personal Access Token (PAT)
• CI/CD External: Crea service account con read:packages

📊 Workflow CI/CD Details

Trigger Events

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, dev, staging]
  workflow_dispatch:  # Manual trigger

Build Matrix

📈 Monitoring e Observability

Health Checks

# Docker health status
docker ps --filter name=data-coupler

# Manual health check
curl http://localhost:7550/health
# Response: {"status":"healthy","timestamp":"2026-01-16T..."}

# Continuous monitoring
watch -n 5 'curl -s http://localhost:7550/health | jq'

Logs

# Real-time logs
docker logs -f data-coupler

# Filtered logs
docker logs data-coupler 2>&1 | grep ERROR

# JSON structured logs
docker logs data-coupler --since 1h | jq -R 'fromjson?'

Metrics

# Container stats
docker stats data-coupler

# Detailed inspection
docker inspect data-coupler | jq '.[0].State'

🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Build Fails - Missing Dependencies

Error: Could not find a part of the path

Solution:

# Verifica .dockerignore non escluda file necessari
# Assicurati che nuget.config sia incluso

2. Container Exits Immediately

Error: Exited (139)

Solution:

# Check logs
docker logs data-coupler

# Verifica permessi directory database
docker run -it --rm \
  --entrypoint /bin/bash \
  ghcr.io/alessiodalsi/data-coupler:latest \
  -c "ls -la /var/lib/Data_Coupler"

3. Health Check Fails

Error: Health: unhealthy

Solution:

# Test manuale endpoint
docker exec data-coupler curl http://localhost:7550/health

# Verifica logs
docker logs data-coupler | grep -i error

4. GitHub Actions Workflow Fails

Error: insufficient_scope

Solution:

1. Repository Settings → Actions → General
2. Workflow permissions → Read and write permissions
3. Save

5. Cannot Pull Private Container

Error: denied: permission_denied

Solution:

# Verifica token ha scope read:packages
# Re-login con token corretto
echo "NEW_TOKEN" | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin
