Write your own CI/CD

There are several ways to automate your workflow when deploying your application to Clever Cloud from either GitHub or GitLab. This page explains how to write your custom CI/CD from both platforms.

Use Clever Tools

You can write your own pipeline to deploy from either GitHub or GitLab. Use Clever Cloud CLI with either Docker or Node image. Place the following snippets at the top of your .gitlab-ci.yml file:

Docker image:

variables:
GIT_DEPTH: "0" # Unshallow the repository by default

image:
name: clevercloud/clever-tools:latest
entrypoint: [""]

Node image:

variables:
GIT_DEPTH: 0 # Unshallow the repository by default

before_script: # Download clever-tools before any script executes
- CC_VERSION=latest
- curl -s -O https://clever-tools.clever-cloud.com/releases/${CC_VERSION}/clever-tools-${CC_VERSION}_linux.tar.gz
- tar -xvf clever-tools-${CC_VERSION}_linux.tar.gz
- PATH=${PATH}:$(pwd)/clever-tools-${CC_VERSION}_linux

⚠️

Using before_script in your GitLab pipeline affects your other scripts as well. Consider including it in a separate job if you run other test scripts unrelated to Clever Cloud deployments in your pipeline.
