Remote Deployer

Deployer is an npm package to deploy to a remote server.

• deploy with ssh: connect to the server and run command from a script, good for running from client or build server.
• deploy with http: create get request with secret key to fire deploy process (preconfigure script run), to set up on the remote server.
• deploy with ftp: coming soon.

Used by me at devresources, helping me to setup ci/cd with gitlab worker.

Setup

npm i -g remote-deployer

API

• deployer -h //show help file
• deployer ssh -h //show sub help file
• deployer init

Notes

• to support multi configuration, you need to make sure the default_id key in the config is not set. (you need to run the commands in the project folder)
• to support running deployer from anywhere but support only one configuration make sure default_id is set.
• on linux and mac, make sure the script as permission, chmod +x script.sh
• get config file path: deployer config path
• print config file: deployer config all
• try running deployer in the project folder. (deployer will interact with git to save release date/data support ssh only)
• trigger example for deployer http: curl http://api.site.site:1234/deploy?appKey=bdd110130eg51a5e8ac15b829e336f7710e3ba71
• read the blog post.

TODO

• restore to last deployed commit and deploy.
• ftp deploy
