Ink Deploy Pack

The Ink ember-cli-deploy pack is an opinionated collection of ember-cli-deploy plugins used to manage the deployment of Ember applications used at Movable Ink.

It relies on Github, TravisCI, Slack, S3 for assets and Redis for revisions.

Installation

ember install ember-cli-deploy-ink-pack

To update your config/deploy.js from the blueprints provided, invoke:

ember generate ink-deploy-config

Deploying

To deploy to staging and production, you'll need to create a .env.deploy.staging and .env.deploy.production respectively.

These files require the following:

AWS_KEY=xxx
AWS_SECRET=xxx
AWS_BUCKET=xxx
REDIS_HOST=xxx
CLOUDFRONT_URL=xxx
SLACK_WEBHOOK=xxx

If you have any trouble, get in touch with a developer who has had their environment configured. They'll provide the bucket name and host, and setup an IAM account if needed.

Before you can deploy, make sure you have your SSH key added to ssh-agent. You may do this by executing the following:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

See https://developer.github.com/guides/using-ssh-agent-forwarding/ for more information about SSH agent forwarding.

We use ember-cli-deploy to deploy our assets. Provided is a short list that covers deployment of 99% of our use cases. For more information see ember-cli/ember-cli-deploy.

ember deploy <environment> --activate

A successful activation will send a message to Slack. This is configurable by setting the slack.message property in config/deploy.js. Available variables are:

• git.user.name
• git.user.email
• git.branch
• git.diff
• deploy.target
• deploy.duration
• package.name
• package.repository
• package.version

Previewing

To preview a change before activating, remove the --activate flag from ember deploy. A key will be returned that can be appended to the URL via ?revision=SHA before activating.

Revisions look like <app-name>:c2f5951, where <app-name> is the redis namespace and c2f5951 is the git SHA of the last commit on that deploy.

To get a list of deployments, call ember deploy:list <environment>.

Acknowledgements

This pack is heavily inspired by ember-cli-deploy-zesty-pack and ember-cli-deploy-lightning-pack.
