CloudBees provides Platform as a Service for Java that offers a complete end-to-end environment, from development to production. As a Java (and hence, Groovy & Grails) developer, you can more easily create quality software by putting your code into the DEV@cloud build system, and from there instantly publishing your application to the cloud using RUN@cloud for Java.
This operation requires interaction with the CloudBees API through their SDK. This plugin exposes the CloudBees SDK API through a series of command line scripts. The CloudBees SDK does not need to be installed on your box for this to work. Simply install the plugin and start invoking commands on the cloud.
grails install-plugin cloud-bees
Insert the following lines in your grails-app/conf/Config.groovy file:
cloudbees.api.url='https://api.cloudbees.com/api'
cloudbees.api.key='CLOUD_BEES_API_KEY'
cloudbees.api.secret='CLOUD_BEES_API_SECRET'
Provide the API key and secret as required.
All commands are issued prefixed by the grails command, or in the interactive shell. e.g
grails bees-app-list
The following commands are provided:
bees-app-checksums <appId>
bees-app-delete <appId>
bees-app-deploy <appId> <tag> <war>
bees-app-info <appId>
bees-app-list
bees-app-restart <appId>
bees-app-start <appId>
bees-app-stop <appId>
bees-app-tail <appId> LOGNAME
bees-db-create <domain> <dbId> <username> <password>
bees-db-delete <dbId>
bees-db-info <dbId>
bees-db-list
All commands have comprehensive help, which can be viewed as follows:
$ grails help bees-app-info
…
Environment set to development
grails bees-app-info -- Returns the basic information about an application.
Usage (optionals in square brackets):
grails bees-app-info <appId> appId : the application id (in the form user/appname)
