Automation Playbooks

NoETL provides playbook-based automation for development workflows, replacing traditional Makefile and Taskfile commands with declarative YAML playbooks. This allows you to manage infrastructure as code using NoETL's own DSL.

Overview

Automation playbooks are located in the automation/ directory and provide self-service workflows for:

Environment setup and teardown (bootstrap/destroy)
Docker image building and deployment
Test infrastructure management
Infrastructure as Playbook (IaP) for cloud resources

Runtime Modes

All automation playbooks use local runtime by default, executing directly via the Rust interpreter without requiring a NoETL server. Playbooks include the executor section:

executor:
  profile: local           # Use local Rust interpreter
  version: noetl-runtime/1 # Runtime version

Runtime Selection

# Auto-detect (file paths default to local)
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml

# Explicit local runtime
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml -r local

# Verbose output
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml -v

Main Entry Point

The automation/main.yaml playbook serves as the central router:

# Show available targets
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=help

# Bootstrap complete environment
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=bootstrap

# Destroy environment
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=destroy

Or use JSON payload:

noetl run automation/main.yaml --payload '{"target":"bootstrap"}'

Quick Commands

For convenience, shortcut playbooks are available:

# Bootstrap (equivalent to main.yaml --set target=bootstrap)
noetl run boot

# Destroy (equivalent to main.yaml --set target=destroy)
noetl run destroy

GKE Fresh Stack Notes (CORS + Public URLs)

The GKE playbook automation/gcp_gke/noetl_gke_fresh_stack.yaml resets Gateway CORS settings on every deploy. If you don't pass gateway_cors_allowed_origins each time, it will fall back to the default values and your UI will start failing CORS preflight requests.

Recommended pattern:

noetl run automation/gcp_gke/noetl_gke_fresh_stack.yaml \
  --set action=deploy \
  --set project_id=<gcp-project-id> \
  --set region=us-central1 \
  --set cluster_name=<cluster-name> \
  --set gateway_service_type=LoadBalancer \
  --set gateway_load_balancer_ip=<gateway-lb-ip> \
  --set gateway_public_url=http://gateway.gateway.svc.cluster.local \
  --set gateway_cors_allowed_origins="http://localhost:3001,https://YOUR_GUI_DOMAIN,https://YOUR_GATEWAY_DOMAIN"

To make this permanent for your environment, update the defaults in: automation/gcp_gke/noetl_gke_fresh_stack.yaml (the gateway_cors_allowed_origins and gateway_public_url workload fields), or set the values in your own wrapper playbook so they are always passed during deploys.

Bootstrap Workflow

Complete K8s environment setup including:

Prerequisite validation (noetl, docker, kind, kubectl, task, python3, uv)
Docker image building (Python server/worker image)
Kind cluster creation
Image loading to cluster
PostgreSQL deployment
NoETL server and worker deployment
Observability stack (ClickHouse, Qdrant, NATS)
Health checks and validation

Usage

# Quick bootstrap (recommended)
noetl run boot

# Via main entry point
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=bootstrap

# Direct execution
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml

# With verbose output
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml -v

# Force rebuild Rust CLI (even if binary exists)
noetl run boot --set build_rust_cli=true

# Skip Gateway deployment
noetl run boot --set deploy_gateway=false

# Use minimal kind config (fewer port mappings)
noetl run boot --set kind_config=ci/kind/config-minimal.yaml

Install Prerequisites First

If bootstrap fails due to missing tools, use the OS-aware tooling playbooks:

# Auto-detect OS and install all dev tools
noetl run automation/development/setup_tooling.yaml --set action=install-devtools

# Or use platform-specific playbooks:
# macOS
noetl run automation/development/tooling_macos.yaml --set action=install-devtools

# Linux/WSL2
noetl run automation/development/tooling_linux.yaml --set action=install-devtools

Steps

validate_prerequisites - Check required tools (docker, kind, kubectl, task, python3, uv)
check_docker_running - Verify Docker daemon is running
check_existing_cluster - Check for existing kind cluster
maybe_build_rust_cli - Check for target/release/noetl binary:
- If binary exists: skip build (saves compilation time)
- If binary missing: build automatically
- Use --set build_rust_cli=true to force rebuild
build_docker_images - Build NoETL Python container
check_port_conflicts - Verify required ports are available
create_kind_cluster - Create K8s cluster (configurable via kind_config)
load_image_to_kind - Load image to cluster
deploy_postgres - Deploy PostgreSQL
deploy_gateway - Deploy Gateway API (optional, deploy_gateway=true)
deploy_noetl - Deploy NoETL server/workers
deploy_observability - Deploy ClickHouse, Qdrant, NATS
wait_for_services - Wait for pods to be ready
test_cluster_health - Verify endpoints
summary - Show completion status

Observability Stack

NATS is mandatory for NoETL operation. Bootstrap deploys:

NATS JetStream (required) - Event streaming and KV store
ClickHouse (optional) - Logs, metrics, traces storage
Qdrant (optional) - Vector database for embeddings

Equivalent Commands

Playbook	Description
`noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=bootstrap`	Complete K8s environment setup
`noetl run automation/setup/destroy.yaml`	Environment teardown

Destroy Workflow

Clean up all resources:

# Via main entry point
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=destroy

# Direct execution
noetl run automation/setup/destroy.yaml

Steps

delete_cluster - Delete kind cluster
cleanup_docker - Prune Docker resources
clear_cache - Clear cache directories
clear_noetl_data - Remove data directories

# Normal output (step names, command results)
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=bootstrap

# Verbose output (+ command details, condition matching)
noetl run automation/main.yaml --set target=bootstrap --verbose

Variable Passing

Using --set

install-jq, install-yq, install-kind, install-pyenv, install-uv, install-tfenv, install-psql

Configuration:

ensure-path - Ensure tool paths in shell config (~/.zshrc on macOS, ~/.bashrc on Linux)
fix-docker-perms - (Linux/WSL2 only) Add user to docker group

NoETL Development Deployment

The recommended way to build and deploy NoETL to a kind cluster during development:

# Show available actions
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=help

# Full rebuild and deploy cycle (build → load → deploy)
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=redeploy

# Individual actions
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=build    # Build Docker image
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=load     # Load image into kind
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=deploy   # Deploy to Kubernetes
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=status   # Show pod/service status

Actions:

Action	Description
`build`	Build NoETL Docker image with timestamp tag
`load`	Load Docker image into kind cluster
`deploy`	Deploy NoETL server and workers to Kubernetes
`redeploy`	Full cycle: build → load → deploy (recommended for dev)
`status`	Show NoETL pod and service status
`help`	Display available actions

Workflow Details:

Build (action=build)
- Builds Docker image using docker/noetl/dev/Dockerfile
- Tags image with timestamp: local/noetl:YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM
- Saves tag to .noetl_last_build_tag.txt for subsequent steps
Load (action=load)
- Reads tag from .noetl_last_build_tag.txt
- Loads image into kind cluster: kind load docker-image
Deploy (action=deploy)
- Applies namespace manifest
- Applies all manifests from ci/manifests/noetl/
- Restarts deployments to pick up new image
- Waits for pods to be ready
Redeploy (action=redeploy)
- Executes full cycle: build → load → deploy
- Recommended for development - single command to update everything

Example Development Workflow:

# Make code changes...

# Rebuild and deploy in one command
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=redeploy

# Check deployment status
noetl run automation/development/noetl.yaml --set action=status

# View logs if needed
kubectl logs -f -n noetl -l app=noetl-server
kubectl logs -f -n noetl -l app=noetl-worker

Prerequisites:

Kind cluster must be running (kind get clusters shows noetl)
Docker daemon must be running
kubectl configured for kind-noetl context

Docker Operations

Manage Docker image building and cleanup:

# Build NoETL image
noetl run automation/development/docker.yaml --set action=build

# Check Docker status
noetl run automation/development/docker.yaml --set action=status

# Cleanup all Docker resources
noetl run automation/development/docker.yaml --set action=cleanup-all

# Clear all images
noetl run automation/development/docker.yaml --set action=images-clear

Build Actions:

build - Build NoETL Docker image
noetl-image-build - Build noetl container with docker

Cleanup Actions:

cleanup-all - Clean all docker resources (builders, images, volumes)
images-clear - Clear all docker images

Status:

status - Check Docker status with version, images, containers, disk usage

Best Practices

Execution

Start with help - Always run --set action=help or --set target=help to see available options
Use full workflows - Prefer action=full for complete setup rather than manual step-by-step
Check status - Run action=status to verify deployments before testing
Use verbose for debugging - Add -v or --verbose when troubleshooting issues
Validate prerequisites - Bootstrap validates required tools automatically
NATS is required - Don't skip observability deployment, NATS is mandatory

Runtime Selection

All automation playbooks include the executor section specifying local runtime:

executor:
  profile: local
  version: noetl-runtime/1

Run with explicit runtime if needed:

# Force local runtime (default for automation)
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml -r local

# Check current context runtime
noetl context current

Variable Passing

Pass variables with --set key=value:

# Single variable
noetl run automation/infrastructure/postgres.yaml --set action=deploy

# Multiple variables  
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set target=noetl --set skip_qdrant=true

# Control Rust CLI build and Gateway deployment
noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set build_rust_cli=true --set deploy_gateway=false

Troubleshooting

Bootstrap Fails

Check prerequisites: noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set target=validate -v
Verify Docker running: docker ps
Check existing cluster: kind get clusters
View detailed output: Add -v flag for verbose output

Port 15000 Already In Use

Kind uses port 15000 for the IBKR Client Portal Gateway. If that port is busy:

Stop the process using port 15000.
Or run bootstrap without the IBKR port mapping: noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set kind_config=ci/kind/config-no-ibkr.yaml

Port Conflicts From Other Services

If other ports are already in use (for example, 30900 for ClickHouse Native), use the minimal mapping:

noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set kind_config=ci/kind/config-minimal.yaml

Image Loading Issues

If pods show ImagePullBackOff:

Rebuild and load: noetl run automation/setup/bootstrap.yaml --set target=build
Check image exists: docker images | grep noetl
Manually load: kind load docker-image local/noetl:TAG --name noetl

Pagination Server Not Ready

# Check status
noetl run automation/test/pagination-server.yaml --set action=status

# View logs
noetl run automation/test/pagination-server.yaml --set action=logs

# Redeploy
noetl run automation/test/pagination-server.yaml --set action=undeploy
noetl run automation/test/pagination-server.yaml --set action=full
