Introducing DevOps Toolkit

#devops #opensource #docker #tooling

Background

In the world of DevOps, managing multiple tools on your computer can be quite a challenge. I know this struggle firsthand. Setting up each tool, ensuring they work together, and keeping them updated is a time-consuming and often frustrating process.

That's why I created the DevOps Toolkit to solve these problems.
It's built on top of the docker platform. I wanted to make it easier for developers and operations teams to get started with DevOps without the headaches of tool compatibility, setup, maintenance, and keeping everything up to date.

The DevOps Toolkit

GitHub repository: tungbq/devops-toolkit
Image on Dockerhub: tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest

Key features

Pre-installed Tools: Includes a variety of essential tools such as git, python, ansible, terraform, kubectl, helm, awscli, azurecli, etc.
Continuous Integration: Utilizes full CI/CD for deployment to Docker Hub using GitHub Actions.
Documentation: Provides detailed documentation for each tool included.
Regular Updates: Weekly automated checks and updates for core tools ensure the toolkit's reliability and security.
Sample code: Includes sample code demonstrating the usage of various tools available in the toolkit.
Support for Build Variants: Enables users to customize the toolkit by building it with their preferred versions of each tool.

Prerequisites 🔓

Before you begin, ensure that you have Docker installed. It's also helpful to have a basic understanding of Docker concepts.
If you are new to docker, don't worry, you can refer to this docker document to get started.

Quick start 🔥

docker run --network host -it --rm tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest

Demo 📺

Check out the full sample and instruction at samples

docker run --network host --rm tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest samples/run_sample.sh

Getting started 📖

1-Pull the official image from Docker Hub

DockerHub image: tungbq/devops-toolkit

docker pull tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest

2-Build your own image (Optional)

Skip this step if you use the image from Dockerhub

If you prefer to build your own image from the source code, refer to the build_toolkit_image instructions.
We can customize the toolkit by building it with our preferred versions of each tool.

3-Start and explore the toolkit container

Once you have the image ready, you can start using the toolkit with the following commands

Start devops-toolkit container

docker run --network host -it --rm tungbq/devops-toolkit:latest

Now we are in the docker container terminal, let's explore it

root@docker-desktop:~# python3 --version
Python 3.12.2

root@docker-desktop:~# terraform --version
Terraform v1.7.5
on linux_amd64

root@docker-desktop:~# kubectl version
Client Version: v1.29.3
Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
