Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Auto-Deploy 🚀

Demo 🎥

Check out the example video: https://youtu.be/Y0v-qoW07jI

Auto-Deploy is a Node.js-based deployment automation tool designed to simplify the process of deploying applications to multiple virtual machines (VMs). It leverages Firebase for VM management and SSH for secure communication.

Features 🌟

  • Firebase Integration: Manage VMs securely with Firebase Firestore.
  • Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted using AES-256-CBC.
  • Batch Deployment: Deploy to multiple VMs in parallel with configurable batch sizes.
  • Customizable Hooks: Run pre-upload and pre-run commands for flexible deployment workflows.

Installation 🛠️

  1. Install the package:
    npm install runship

Configuration ⚙️

Update the config.json file with your Firebase configuration and encryption password:

{
  "firebaseConfig": {
    "apiKey": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
    "authDomain": "<YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN>",
    "projectId": "<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>",
    "storageBucket": "<YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET>",
    "messagingSenderId": "<YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID>",
    "appId": "<YOUR_APP_ID>"
  },
  "Password": "<YOUR_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD>"
}

Usage 🚀

Deploying Applications

  1. Update the index.js file with your deployment configuration:
    const runship = require("runship");
    runship.connect(require("./config.json").firebaseConfig);
    
    runship.deploy({
        uploadFolder: "example-folder",
        serviceName: "example.service",
        multiply: 5,
        verbose: true,
        beforeUpload: "mv data.json ../data.json",
        beforeRun: "echo hi > test.txt && mv ../data.json data.json && /usr/bin/npm i",
    });

Adding a VM

  1. Update the addVM.js file with your VM details:
    const runship = require("runship");
    runship.connect(require("./config.json").firebaseConfig);
    
    runship.addTestVM({
        host: "<VM_HOST>",
        username: "<USERNAME>",
        password: null,
        port: 22,
        path: "/home/user/module",
        privateKey: fs.readFileSync("path/to/private/key", 'utf8'),
    });

Creating and Starting Services

  1. Update the services.js file with your service configuration:
    const runship = require("runship");
    const config = require("./config.json");
    
    async function main() {
        runship.json("./settings.json");
    
        await runship.createService({
            name: "example-service",
            execStart: "/usr/bin/node index.js",
        });
    
        await runship.startService({
            name: "example-service",
        });
    
        process.exit(0);
    }
    
    main();
