What is docker-machine-deploy?

docker-machine-deploy deploys docker applications to remote host using docker-machine. It supports docker-compose and docker-swarm with stacks.

Why?

I work on multiple projects. Each project usually had a deploy.sh script that looked something like this:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build 
 
msg "Pushing images..."
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml push
 
msg "Updating docker-machine to name..."
eval $(docker-machine env --shell bash machine)
 
msg "Deploying with docker..."
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml pull
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d --remove-orphans
...

I ended up having three repositories with this script. After a while, I realized that I am doing a lot of repeated work that can be better if the DRY model was followed.

Why node?

Almost every project I deploy is a web project. They all have a package.json with webpack. Knowing that most of my projects use Node, it made sense to have a build took also in package.json.

Installation

Install using

npm i --save-dev docker-machine-deploy

Then create .docker-machine-deploy.json with

{
  "machine": "machine-name",
  "mode": "compose",
  "build": "local"
}

And finally, add something like this to your package.json

"scripts"{
    "docker-deploy": "docker-machine-deploy"
}

You can then deploy using npm run docker-deploy

Configuration Options

All configurations should be in .docker-machine-deploy.json.

Name Default Value Description
machine Docker machine name to use. This should be a machine that is listed in docker-machine ls
mode "compose" Accepted values can be compose or swarm to create stack. See below for more details.
build "local" Accepted values are remote or local. If local, then builds are done locally and then pushed to docker registry where it is then pulled to remote host. If remote, it is built on the remote host. If you have limited memory then build locally.
