# RunDeck SCM change import automation

![example workflow](https://github.com/RamSailopal/RunDeck/actions/workflows/lint.yml/badge.svg)

The current implementation of [RunDeck](https://www.rundeck.com/) requires a manual step to "pull" changes made on a given repo into RunDeck either as additional jobs or as job modifications.

This repo offers a solution and allows the automated import of any changes.

## Process

1)  Ensure that **Python3** is installed on the RunDeck server as well as **Python3-pip**

2)  Install the Python **requests** library through:

        sudo su rundeck

        pip3 install requests

        exit

4) Copy the **import.py** code into a new file, located at a given location on the Rundeck server that can be accessible by the **rundeck** user.

5)  Give the script execute permissions:

        chmod o+x import.py

6) Modify the following line in the **Test/import.yaml** file:

   

   **bash -c 'export RUNDECK_KEY="eXLnU4c3Hx5udUyWJiLX80rGKxQzmvK8" && /home/rundeck/import.py'**

Change **/home/rundeck/import.py** to the location of the file on the server. Also change **eXLnU4c3Hx5udUyWJiLX80rGKxQzmvK8** to your API token

7) Manually setup and import the repository, following [this](https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/learning/howto/how2scm.html#exporting-jobs-continued) guide.

Through the import.py script running every minute, new repo changes will automatically get imported and "synced" with RunDeck.

## Testing

A containerised local instance of RunDeck can be run with:

        docker run --name some-rundeck -p 4440:4440 rundeck/rundeck:4.17.1

Navigate to the container's command line through:

        docker exec -it some-rundeck /bin/bash

Follow the process steps referenced above.
