Im trying to deploy my app from Gitlab CI, here is my gitlab-ci.yml
"Deploy to DigitalOcean":
image: digitalocean/doctl:latest
stage: deploy
needs:
- job: "Test Docker build"
script:
- doctl auth init
- /app/doctl apps create-deployment XXX
only:
- master
Also I added the DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN variable with my personal token.
But I got an error
``Successfully extracted cache ``Executing "step_script" stage of the job script 00:00
``Using docker image sha256:16287ffaf3b998b10c7348803f2372d99b9daadc1f5ded9aab957f6b2b34a7e3 for digitalocean/doctl:latest with digest digitalocean/doctl@sha256:d612c781afeb2720393e32312ef19af545b5c69b933a02bcd83e3e2bda874802 ...
``Error: unknown command "sh" for "doctl"
``Run 'doctl --help' for usage.

How can I trigger DigitalOcean from my CI pipeline? I don’t want to use deploy_on_push feature, because it ignores my pipelines and deploy app even when my CI/CD is red.

I had to mix the @Bobby Iliev answer and hint from this SO answer.
Here is the final gitlab-ci.yml job:
"Deploy to DigitalOcean":
image:
name: digitalocean/doctl:latest
entrypoint: [""]
stage: deploy
needs:
- job: "Test Docker image"
script:
- /app/doctl auth init
- /app/doctl apps create-deployment $DIGITALOCEAN_STUDENT_BACKEND_ID
only:
- master
Hi there,
As you are getting Error: unknown command "sh" for "doctl", I think that you need to update the first doctl line from:
script:
- doctl auth init
- /app/doctl apps create-deployment XXX
To:
script:
- /app/doctl auth init
- /app/doctl apps create-deployment XXX
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
