Description
We currently have 2 staging environments:
- https://staging-dashboard.kernelci.org - with a containerized database
- https://staging.dashboard.kernelci.org - sharing database with production
Proposed changes:
- Rename https://staging-dashboard.kernelci.org to https://dev.dashboard.kernelci.org
- Keep the containerized database (we'll need to automate loading KCIDB payloads in the future)
- Merging to
mainshould result in a deployment to this server, ideally automatic
- Rename https://staging.dashboard.kernelci.org to https://next.dashboard.kernelci.org
- Keep sharing the DB with production
- Manual deployment to test queries and frontend; never migrations!
- Migrations should happen through the production deployment.
- Deploying to production should also trigger the deployment for this server.
