umploy - deploy tool

This is a simple command line tool for make a bash script that can deploy using dpl from a json document with a syntax very much like the deploy section from travis.yml

It is meant to be used by a build server for executing the bash script and to be used for encrypting keys in the file on a developer machine.

Installing

npm install -g umploy

Documentation

At the moment this README is all the documentation there is but since the tool is heavily inspired by the deploy section for travis much of the travis deployment documentation applies to this tool as well with the change that the file format for this tool is in JSON as opposed to YAML.

Another good place to look for documentation is dpl since that is the tool that does all the heavy lifting.

Example deploy document

This .umploy.json file will deploy the dist folder to the my-cool-site bucket on S3 if the current branch is master.

"dpl": {
  "provider": "s3",
  "access_key_id": "AKITJFVMK6HJNRU7NL5A",
  "secret_access_key": {
    "secure": "GxoyXR2o/Yk6i1CtsBswHWJ0kDlW5K5Vfp/D8BGds5nSfdm="
  },
  "bucket": "my-cool-site",
  "local-dir": "dist",
  "skip_cleanup": true,
  "acl": "public_read",
  "on": {
    "branch": "master"
  }
}

Encrypting a key in an existing document

The tool supports encrypting secrets in the ```.umploy.json`` so that the file can be stored in revision control without compromising the secret.

To encrypt a key you need to have either the environment variable UMPLOY_KEY with the path to an RSA public key or the variable UMPLOY_PRIVATE_KEY with the path to an RSA private key defined.

Then if you have a .umploy.json file with the folowing content:

"dpl": {
  "provider": "s3",
  "access_key_id": "AWSKEY",
  "secret_access_key": "hush very secret"
}

You can encrypt the secret_access_key with the following command:

umploy --encrypt dpl.secret_access_key

Which will result in the .umploy.json file being change like this:

"dpl": {
  "provider": "s3",
  "access_key_id": "AWSKEY",
  "secret_access_key": {
    "secure": "GxoyXR2oBb7pXUPh4Mos4oCNI7NZRwF4yAras39TV3w/us5gC4bi9wR3odTNuF7"
  }
}

Testing the script output

To test what the generated script looks like for a given .deploy.json file simply call the tool with no options:

umploy
