Delivered parity-aligned, LXD-based development environment and automated deployment for the X-Road components (CS, SS, CA, IS, Hurl), mirroring the existing Docker setup and streamlining local testing and CI workflows. Updated Ansible playbooks/roles to manage LXD containers, port mappings, and service deployments; refactored build scripts and Hurl test scenarios to support the new LXD environment. Introduced dynamic artifact handling for the XRD4J component (example-adapter) to improve deployment reliability. Also delivered Ansible Dependency Repository Segregation and Task Enhancement to improve maintainability: separated the X-Road dependencies repository into its own Ansible task with new variables for the dependencies key and URL, updating the Ubuntu task to consume these variables. This modularization reduces coupling and simplifies future upgrades. Additionally, addressed deployment stability and port exposure issues observed during early LXD rollouts, including moving mailpit to the CS container and exposing its port through Lima. These fixes reduced setup friction and improved multi-component orchestration for faster onboarding and testing. Overall, these changes enable faster, repeatable local development and more maintainable deployment pipelines, with improved reproducibility across environments, and stronger alignment between development and production workflows.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary for nordic-institute/X-Road. Delivered parity-aligned, LXD-based development environment and automated deployment for the X-Road components (CS, SS, CA, IS, Hurl), mirroring the existing Docker setup and streamlining local testing and CI workflows. Updated Ansible playbooks/roles to manage LXD containers, port mappings, and service deployments; refactored build scripts and Hurl test scenarios to support the new LXD environment.
