Deploying custom version of core

Create core version#

  • Add the code to the core, plugin-interface and postgresql plugin in a specific branch
  • Increase the patch version of all these such that there is no such version that exists in an actual released version of the core / plugin
  • Execute the ./runBuild command in the core, plugin-interface and plugin repos (this will replace the old jar with the new one).
  • Push everything to the branch on git

Git changes#

  • Add branch protection rules to this branch, so that no one can push to them other than the admin and deletion of the branch is not allowed.
  • Tag the branch of the three repos with their version tag vX.Y.Z and push to git
  • Make sure that github actions pass.

Building the docker image#

  • For the Dockerfile of supertokens-postgresql image, update:

    • coreBranch

    • coreVersion

    • pluginBranch

    • pluginVersion

    • pluginInterfaceBranch

    • pluginInterfaceVersion

      In the following dockerfile:

      FROM ubuntu:bionic-20200219 as tmp
      ARG coreBranch="third-party-tenant-mapping"
      ARG coreVersion="4.1.1"
      ARG pluginName="postgresql"
      ARG pluginBranch="thirdparty-tenant-mapping"
      ARG pluginVersion="2.0.0"
      ARG pluginInterfaceBranch="third-party-tenant-mapping"
      ARG pluginInterfaceVersion="2.18.0"
      RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl zip
      RUN OS= && dpkgArch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" && \
      case "${dpkgArch##*-}" in \
      amd64) OS='linux';; \
      arm64) OS='linux-arm';; \
      *) OS='linux';; \
      esac && \
      curl -o supertokens.zip -s -X GET \
      "https://api.supertokens.io/0/manual/zip/download?os=$OS&coreBranch=$coreBranch&coreVersion=$coreVersion&pluginName=$pluginName&pluginBranch=$pluginBranch&pluginVersion=$pluginVersion&pluginInterfaceBranch=$pluginInterfaceBranch&pluginInterfaceVersion=$pluginInterfaceVersion" \
      -H "api-version: 0"
      RUN unzip supertokens.zip
      RUN cd supertokens && ./install
      FROM debian:stable-slim
      RUN groupadd supertokens && useradd -m -s /bin/bash -g supertokens supertokens
      RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gnupg dirmngr && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

      RUN set -x \

      ENTRYPOINT ["docker-entrypoint.sh"]
      CMD ["supertokens", "start"]
  • Build the image using

    docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --tag rishabhpoddar/supertokens-postgresql:X.Y-feature-name . --no-cache --push

    Make sure to change X.Y to the core version and change feature-name to the right name (can be anything unique).

  • Push to rishabhpoddar/supertokens-postgresql:X.Y-<feature-name>. For example, rishabhpoddar/supertokens-postgresql:4.1-multitenant-config

Deploying in user's SaaS#

  • Update the code in the backend for the image version tag name and version number in APP_ID_TO_CUSTOM_IMAGE variable in this file.
  • Push the backend code to production
  • Restart all the dev / prod containers for that app.

Remove git tags#

Remove the tags that were created earlier from all the repos:

git push origin --delete vX.Y.Z
git fetch -p && git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D
