TODO

• Tests

  • Deployment tests (write abstractions w dep injection)
  • Create project tests (write abstractions w dep injection)
  • Plugin tests (write abstractions w dep injection)
  • get logs, get project, get deployments tests
  • test deploying with mock app

• Make sure "npm start" script exists in package.json

• Check that correct version 2.30+ of git is installed.

  • Install command thing…

• "Stream" command output so it doesn't feel as if the action is unresponsive

• Logging

  • logging flag… [X]

• Good error reporting

  • All errors should have some explanation or possible solution
  • Also have the error

• Abstract away cirrus.json

  • Upon init a cirrus.json gets created in cirruspath/config/projectname.json
  • You can have a cirrus.json file in your GitHub repository, in which case that is prioritized (merged) with the project cirrus config on disk (for things like ports)
  • Remove port option (user shouldn't need to think about ports…)

• Deploy in a way that doesn't take app offline

• Plugins

  • Plugins can insert ENV variables to all programs; for instance, if we have POSTGRES plugin, then maybe we have a POSTGRES_CONNECTION_URL env variable passed to all programs. What ENV variables are exposed needs to be documented by the plugin.
  • Automatic Caddy server configuration plugin
    • Add path to CERT files to ENV
    • domain is determined in DEPLYOMENT section,
  • Automatic Postgres configuration plugin
    • Add connection url to ENV
  • Firewall setup plugin

• Add possibility to init from github Instructions

$ cirrus init umami-software/umami
$ cirrus init railwayapp/blog

• Ignore paths (low priority)
