deploy-restart

Deploy an application to a remote Linux machine and restart a service using systemctl or other commands

Install it through:

npm i -D deploy-restart

This module executes three basic steps:

1. Stops a service
2. Copies files over SCP
3. Starts a service

Written in TypeScript. It uses two core node modules:

• ssh-exec: https://github.com/mafintosh/ssh-exec
• scp2: https://github.com/spmjs/node-scp2

Usage

import { DeployRestart } from 'deploy-restart';

...

const deployRestart = new DeployRestart({
    user: 'john',
    host: '192.168.1.1',
    localPath: '/home/john/app/dist',
    remoteDeployPath: '/home/remote/services/app',
    restart: true,
    serviceName: 'app'
});

try {
    await deployRestart.start();
} catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
}

The start method resolves with void and rejects with the following object:

{
    stopServiceStatus: boolean;
    deployStatus: boolean;
    startServiceStatus: boolean;
    error: any; //Error thrown by the step that fails
}

Options

|Name|Type|Required| |--|--|--| |user|string|Yes |host|string|Yes |localPath|string|Yes |remoteDeployPath|string|Yes |privateKeyPath|string|No |password|string|No |restart|boolean|No

If restart is true, then the following applies:

|Name|Default|Type|Required| |--|--|--|--| |serviceName||string|Yes if serviceStartCommand and serviceStopCommand are not provided |serviceStartCommand|sudo systemctl start serviceName|string|Yes if serviceName is not provided or if serviceStopCommand is provided |serviceStopCommand|sudo systemctl stop serviceName|string|Yes if serviceName is not provided or if serviceStartCommand is provided

In other words, you may either pass serviceName that will be executed as sudo systemctl start serviceName or pass both serviceStartCommand and serviceStopCommand to use your own commands.
