shipit-deploy

Build Status version MIT License

Set of deployment tasks for Shipit.

Features:

  • Deploy tag, branch or commit
  • Add additional behaviour using hooks
  • Build your project locally or remotely
  • Easy rollback

Install

npm install shipit-deploy

If you are deploying from Windows, you may want to have a look at the wiki page about usage in Windows.

Usage

Example shipitfile.js

module.exports = shipit => {
  require('shipit-deploy')(shipit)
 
  shipit.initConfig({
    default: {
      workspace: '/tmp/myapp',
      deployTo: '/var/myapp',
      repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/user/myapp.git',
      ignores: ['.git', 'node_modules'],
      keepReleases: 2,
      keepWorkspace: false, // should we remove workspace dir after deploy?
      deleteOnRollback: false,
      key: '/path/to/key',
      shallowClone: true,
      deploy: {
        remoteCopy: {
          copyAsDir: false, // Should we copy as the dir (true) or the content of the dir (false)
        },
      },
    },
    staging: {
      servers: 'user@myserver.com',
    },
  })
}

To deploy on staging, you must use the following command :

shipit staging deploy

You can rollback to the previous releases with the command :

shipit staging rollback

Options

workspace

Type: String

Define a path to a directory where Shipit builds it's syncing source.

Beware to not set this path to the root of your repository (unless you are set keepWorkspace: true) as shipit-deploy cleans the directory at the given path after successful deploy.

Here you have the following setup possibilities:

  • if you want to build and deploy from the directory with your repo:
    • set keepWorkspace: true so that your workspace dir won't be removed after deploy
    • optionally set rsyncFrom if you want to sync e.g. only ./build dir
    • set branch so that we can get correct revision hash
  • if you want every time to fetch a fresh repo copy and dun reploy on it:
    • set shallowClone: true — this will speed up repo fetch speed and create a temporary workspace. NOTE: if you decide not to use shallowClone, you should set workspace path manually. If you set shallowClone: true, then the temporary workspace directory will be removed after deploy (unless you set keepWorkspace: true)
    • set repositoryUrl and optionally branch and gitConfig

keepWorkspace

Type: Boolean

If true — we won't remove workspace dir after deploy.

dirToCopy

Type: String Default: same as workspace

Define directory within the workspace which should be deployed.

deployTo

Type: String

Define the remote path where the project will be deployed. A directory releases is automatically created. A symlink current is linked to the current release.

repositoryUrl

Type: String

Git URL of the project repository.

If empty Shipit will try to deploy without pulling the changes.

In edge cases like quick PoC projects without a repository or a living on the edge production patch applying this can be helpful.

branch

Type: String

Tag, branch or commit to deploy.

ignores

Type: Array<String>

An array of paths that match ignored files. These paths are used in the rsync command.

deleteOnRollback

Type: Boolean

Whether or not to delete the old release when rolling back to a previous release.

key

Type: String

Path to SSH key

keepReleases

Type: Number

Number of releases to keep on the remote server.

shallowClone

Type: Boolean

Perform a shallow clone. Default: false.

updateSubmodules

Type: Boolean

Update submodules. Default: false.

gitConfig

type: Object

Custom git configuration settings for the cloned repo.

gitLogFormat

Type: String

Log format to pass to git log. Used to display revision diffs in pending task. Default: %h: %s - %an.

rsyncFrom

Type: String Optional

When deploying from Windows, prepend the workspace path with the drive letter. For example /d/tmp/workspace if your workspace is located in d:\tmp\workspace. By default, it will run rsync from the workspace folder.

copy

Type: String

Parameter to pass to cp to copy the previous release. Non NTFS filesystems support -r. Default: -a

deploy.remoteCopy.copyAsDir

Type: Boolean Optional

If true - We will copy the folder instead of the content of the folder. Default: false.

Variables

Several variables are attached during the deploy and the rollback process:

shipit.config.*

All options described in the config sections are available in the shipit.config object.

shipit.repository

Attached during deploy:fetch task.

You can manipulate the repository using git command, the API is describe in gift.

shipit.releaseDirname

Attached during deploy:update and rollback:init task.

The current release dirname of the project, the format used is "YYYYMMDDHHmmss" (moment format).

shipit.releasesPath

Attached during deploy:init, rollback:init, and pending:log tasks.

The remote releases path.

shipit.releasePath

Attached during deploy:update and rollback:init task.

The complete release path : path.join(shipit.releasesPath, shipit.releaseDirname).

shipit.currentPath

Attached during deploy:init, rollback:init, and pending:log tasks.

The current symlink path : path.join(shipit.config.deployTo, 'current').
