Monorepo for the Centrifuge applications

Preparing Envs (e.g when the dev chain data is reset)

Faucet (only available in demo and dev)

1. Add a valid seed hex to faucet-api/env-vars/demo.secrets
2. Fund the account wallet with all availabe pool currencies and the native currency

Onboarding API

Setup is ONLY for dev

Setup pure proxy to sign transactions (whitelisting & transfer tokens).

1. Use sudo in polkadot UI to give Alice enough currency to distribute (tokens.setBalance()). For currencyId select ForeignAsset and submit the transacton once with ForeignAsset 1 and once with ForeignAsset 2
2. Run /initProxies to create the pure proxy, fund it, and give it sufficient permissions
3. Copy the resulting pure proxy address and add it to the env varibles: MEMBERLIST_ADMIN_PURE_PROXY (onboarding-api) and REACT_APP_MEMBERLIST_ADMIN_PURE_PROXY (centrifuge-app)
4. Enable onboarding for each new pool under /issuer//investors

Notes

To add other repositories to this monorepo while preserving the Git history, we can use the following steps: https://medium.com/@filipenevola/how-to-migrate-to-mono-repository-without-losing-any-git-history-7a4d80aa7de2

To set a pool into maintenance mode, add the pool id to the environment variable NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_FLAG_MAINTENANCE_MODE.

Agile release process

To make sure repository admins can control the full workflow of our apps to production safely this repository provides the following flow:

• Opening a new PR will deploy cent-app using the PR number to app-prXXX.k-f.dev - There should be a comment with these links in your PR after deployment. Forks do not trigger a PR deployment

• Merging code into main will deploy buckets and functions pointing to: app-dev.k-f.dev

• Demo deployments must be manually triggered. They are not required for the release process.

• Catalyst deployments are triggered by pushing a tag containing centrifuge-app-v* in the tag name.

• Altair and staging are triggered by creating a pre-release on the Github repository

• Centrifuge is deployed by editing an existing release and unmarking pre-release to fully release it, it will promote the staging artifacts to app.centrifuge.io

• Using the github release manager the pre-release can be promoted to production (app.centrifuge.io) using the artifacts generated in the pre-release. The production release must be approved by a reviewer.

(Coming soon: release web-bundle to IPFS)

You can follow your deployments by going to the Actions section of the github repo

How to release to staging, Altair, and Prod/Centrifuge

1. Create a release and mark it as a pre-release

-> Deploys to app.staging.centrifuge.io and app.altair.centrifuge.io

Navigate to create a new pre-release. Make sure to tick the pre-release option.

1. Create a new centrifuge-app-vX.YY tag on the release screen. Only tags starting with centrifuge-app-v* will meet the requirements for deployments:
   • Major version: release includes new features/improvments
   • Minor version: release only includes bug fixes
2. Name the release CentrifugeApp vX.X
3. Generate the release notes
4. Tick the Set as a pre-release checkbox
5. Click Publish release to trigger the build. You can follow progress on the Actions dashboard
6. Once the build is complete, a reviewer must approve the release to trigger a deployment

When the deployment is finished a notification will be sent to the #eng-apps channel on Slack.

2. Create a production release

-> Deploys to app.centrifuge.io

The deployment to staging from point 1. needs to have been finished first. The production deployment uses the artifacts generated in the pre-release.

Navigate to the release summary and select the pre-release you want to publish.

1. Untick the Set as a pre-release checkbox and then tick the Set as the latest release checkbox
2. Click Update release to trigger the prod deployment. As with the pre-release, the production release must be approved by a reviewer.
3. Follow your prod deployment in the Actions dashboard

When the deployment is finished a notification will be sent to the #eng-apps channel on Slack.
