latest.datasette.io is no longer updating

[simonw]

https://latest.datasette.io/-/versions is stuck on 0.35.

I can switch over to deploying that using Cloud Run. Unfortunately if I move away from Zeit Now v1 (since it's no longer supported and might stop working) I don't think I'll be able to deploy a permanent URL for every commit hash that I push any more, which is a real shame.

[simonw]

I'd like to still provide https://v0-35.datasette.io/ URLs for every named release, but I'm not sure how to best automate the provisioning of those subdomains.

For the moment I'm going to focus on getting latest.datasette.io working again, using Cloud Run.

[simonw]

I'm going to do this using GitHub Actions and the recipe from https://simonwillison.net/2020/Jan/21/github-actions-cloud-run/

First step: deploying manually using this:

datasette publish cloudrun fixtures.db \
    -m fixtures.json \
    --branch=7656fd64d8b6a32ebc34d89c1b8711cc5ea240f7 \
    --version-note=7656fd64d8b6a32ebc34d89c1b8711cc5ea240f7 \
    --extra-options="--config template_debug:1" \
    --service=datasette-latest

That's live at https://datasette-latest-j7hipcg4aq-uc.a.run.app/

I need to verify datasette.io with Google. These instructions look good: https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/openapi/verify-domain-name

I tried running this:

$ now dns add datasette.io '@' TXT google-site-verification=wHw15S1fkNOMzk42PEVK6XLnSG9qEfyq6paO8_G4IVU

[simonw]

That worked:

Now add the service mapping in Cloud Run: https://console.cloud.google.com/run/domains?project=datasette-222320

[simonw]

... and set up the CNAME record:

$ now dns add datasette.io latest CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.

Got an error:

> Error!  A conflicting record exists "rec_e4c36ae94cf0a2b7b1781329".

[simonw]

Removed the conflicting record with:

 $ now dns rm rec_e4c36ae94cf0a2b7b1781329

Then:

$ now dns add datasette.io latest CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.
> Success! DNS record for domain datasette.io (rec_5b8855344da0be1861c4d55b) created under simonw [10s]

[simonw]

Could take a while for the certificate to be issued:

[simonw]

Now following steps in https://simonwillison.net/2020/Jan/21/github-actions-cloud-run/ - I've added the GCP_SA_EMAIL and GCP_SA_KEY secrets to this repository: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/settings/secrets

[simonw]

https://latest.datasette.io/-/versions is now serving from Cloud Run.

[simonw]

It worked! After that push https://latest.datasette.io/-/versions updated to show 90015b26895fd2bd29676bc375f096102b0587ed as the version note.
