I recently moved FilePreviews.io’s workers deployment to Kubernetes in Google Container Engine. After setting the workers up as a Deployment I wondered how this would fit with my current setup for continuous deployment. On a previous setup, I relied on Docker Hub to automatically build, push tagged images, and notify Rancher via a webhook.
I ended up writing a small server to handle the webhook event from Docker Hub and PATCH the container’s image tags in the Kubernetes deployment which triggers a rollout.
