This commit includes the following improvements:
- Document that the `create-image.sh` script (and by extention the
`update-preview-server.sh` script) need to have access to a `yarn`
executable.
- Add a note on cron jobs running in non-interactive, non-login shells
(which affects their execution context and have different behavior vs
running the same commands in an interactive, login shell).
- Change the Node.js and `yarn` installation instructions to ensure the
`yarn` executable will be available on the `PATH` and not require an
interactive, login shell (as happens, for example, when installing it
via [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)). This makes it easier to set
up a cron job that runs the `update-preview-server.sh` script.
NOTE: The equivalent updates have been made on the GCE VM that hosts the
PR preview server.
PR Close#37015
I recently went through the process of setting up a preview server VM
again and updated the instructions and references based on the latest
docs for Debian, Docker, Google Compute Engine, etc.
PR Close#36837
This commit introduces the ability to show previews for PRs by any author. It works as follows:
- The build artifacts of all PRs are uploaded to the preview server.
- Automatically verified PRs (i.e. from trusted authors or having a specific label) are deployed and
publicly accessible as usual.
- PRs that could not be automatically verified are stored for later use (after re-verification).
- A PR can be marked as "trusted" and make its preview publicly accessible by adding the GitHub
label specified in the `AIO_TRUSTED_PR_LABEL` env var of the preview server.
At the moment, there is no automatic mechanism for notifying the preview server about changes to the
PR's verification status. The PR's "visibility" will be checked and updated every time a new build
is uploaded.
