Testserver Deployment

TUMApply uses Helios to deploy PR branches to the testserver at tumapply-test.aet.cit.tum.de. Deployments are triggered manually after the Docker image has been built by the CI workflow.

How It Works​

When you open a PR, the Build and Push Docker Image workflow automatically builds a Docker image for your branch and pushes it to the GitHub Container Registry. Once that succeeds, you can deploy your branch to the testserver via Helios.

Deployment Steps​

  1. Log in to Helios
  2. Select the tum-apply project
  3. Search for your PR
  4. Verify that the Build and Push Docker Image workflow has completed successfully
  5. Trigger the deployment to the testserver
  6. Wait until the Deploy to a test-server workflow finishes successfully

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter errors during deployment:

  • Check the workflow logs in the GitHub Actions tab for details
  • Make sure the Docker build workflow passed before attempting deployment
  • Contact an admin if the issue persists
