- Unfortunately the TB CLI doesn't just output the token and instead
tries to copy it to the clipboard
- Since we're running inside a container we can't do that, so need to
just update the docs to get it from the UI
- This helps clean up the TB setup since we no longer need to install the CLI tools locally
- The service dependency chaining is a bit annoying here but it should all work
- We have to change some of the mounts around because of how TB works
and where it expects tokens to be
no refs
The current setup runs the base Ghost installation without Traffic Analytics functionality. This commit adds:
- `tinybird-sync` service, which copies the latest Tinybird datafiles from the `ghost` container into a shared volume
- `tinybird-deploy` service & Dockerfile that includes the `tb` CLI, and runs `tb --cloud deploy` on boot
- Instructions for one-time manual setup of the Tinybird workspace in `TINYBIRD.md`
After the one-time manual setup, this configuration should automatically update Tinybird's datasources and endpoints in sync with the Ghost container when it is updated.
The initial setup is a bit clumsy and requires more manual steps than expected:
- The tinybird datafiles are in the Ghost image, but we need to access them from the `tinybird-deploy` service, which includes the `tb` CLI.
- When creating a new workspace in Tinybird, you can't access your admin token right away. Instead, it forces you to run `tb login` and `tb --cloud deploy` before you can access the rest of your workspace UI. This requires the user to install the `tb` CLI locally, and run an interactive login to authenticate with their Tinybird workspace. The generated `.tinyb` file is then mounted into the `tinybird-deploy` container, so this is only required for initial setup.
- Ghost requires the Tinybird `stats` and `tracker` token to be provided at boot. This means the user has to manually copy these tokens (either from CLI or the Workspace UI) and add them to their `.env` file manually.
- We may want to either publish the Docker image with the Tinybird CLI installed, or possibly add the `tb` CLI to the traffic-analytics container.
