Autodeploy

Autodeploy is a small and highly customizable CLI-Tool to automatically deploy your git repo and execute arbitrary commands/scripts after a specific git action (e.g. push, merge, ...) Currently only GitHub is supported.

Installation

Using NPM

npm install @taschendieb/autodeploy -g

Using YARN

yarn global add @taschendieb/autodeploy

Usage

Go to "Settings" in your repository and add a webhook to your website/ip with port 1337 (example.com:1337). Subsequently check "Send me everything". The port can be changed in the configuration.

autodeploy deploy <giturl> <path> [name]

This will clone the repository into the specified path and register the webhook internally.

by default this will deploy your git repo after a push on master

For adding custom actions see the 'Customization' section

Finally run the server in listen mode:

autodeploy listen

or register the application to automatcally start on boot

autodeploy autostart

Configuration

Autodeploy was designed to be as flexible as possible. Therefore you can configure global settings and deployment actions via a JSON configuration. This file is located by default in "~/.autodeploy/config.json"

The Structure looks as follows:

{
    // This section is for application-wide configurations
    "settings": {
        "port": 1337 // port the server listens to
    },
    // Deployments are configured in this section
    "deployments": [
        {
            "name": "", // user-specified name
            "url": "", // url of repository
            "path": "", // path in filesystem
            "trigger": [
                {
                    "event": "push", // one of githubs webhook events
                    "branch": "master", // affected branch
                    // When trigger condition (event and branch matching) is true the following actions will be performed in the order they are listed
                    "actions": [
                        {
                            "name": "pull", // user-specified name for reference
                            "action": "git reset --hard origin/master && git pull" // shell commannd to execute
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
