InstaDeploy

InstaDeploy Watches a folder and deploys using SFTP to multiple servers when changes are made. It is great for use in source deployment where a large number of hosts are at play.

Installation

npm install -g instadeploy

Usage

You can use either instadeploy or deploy cmd/terminal command.

---

Setup a new host

instadeploy add <unique_name> <host_ip> <username> <password> <unique_remote_path> <privateKey>

---

Ignore development folders (Ignore follows Minimatch's Glob Expressions Format)

instadeploy ignore ".gitignore" "node_modules/**" ".git/**" <pattern4> <pattern5> ...

---

Watch a folder (use -v or -verbosity to get accurate input)

instadeploy watch <local_path> <common_remote_path>

---

Remove a host

instadeploy remove <name>

---

Remove an ignore pattern

instadeploy allow <pattern>

API

Instance -> InstaDeploy(Array:ObjectsHosts, Options) Example:

var fs = require('fs');
var InstaDeploy = require('instadeploy');
var Deployer = new InstaDeploy([
  { name: 'test', host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8085, username: 'root', password: 'test', path: 'uploads', privateKey: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key') },
  { name: 'host2', host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8045, username: 'notroot', password: 'test2', path: 'test', privateKey: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key2') }
], {
  ignore: ['node_modules\\**', '.gitignore']
})

Note: If a password is not provided the user will be prompted for it. To disable this pass a 'noprompt' attribute with every remote connection object that is passed to InstaDeploy.
