meteor-please

Simple Meteor Deployment for RHEL/CentOS 7+

Deploy your Meteor app on RHEL flavoured boxes via SSH, and keep your apps alive with systemd. Your app is served through reverse proxy by nginx. Based on meteor-up.

Installation

npm install -g mplz

Usage

1. Initialise

Simply run in your Meteor project's directory:

mplz

You'll get a prompt to automatically configure a mplz.json for your project.

2. Setup Your Environment

Once you've got a configuration file, you can spin up your server, then use this command inside your project directory to install the production environment (nodejs, mongodb, nginx):

mplz setup

Now go grab a coffee, because it will probably take some time for all the things to install.

3. Deploy Your App

After the server setup is done, you can run this command to deploy your app:

mplz deploy

Easy!

Commands

mplz init Reconfigures your app's mplz.json settings file.

mplz setup Sets up your server according to your mplz.json settings.

mplz deploy Deploys your app according to your mplz.json settings.

mplz reconfig Apply any configuration changes if your mplz.json has been modified since last setup.

mplz start Starts your app. (systemd)

mplz stop Stops your app. (systemd)

mplz restart Restarts your app. (systemd)

mplz delete Deletes your app from the deployment directory.
