Auto-Deployer

An Selfmade Deployment system for some self education

Feature List and Brain Storm

Automated Deploy System

• Github Integration
• configurable Deploys
  • Commands
  • Files
• external Server to handel all this stuff
  • which ssh's into other servers to upload the necessary files

Deployment Step Ideas

• Steps for a Vue deploy:

  • Pull down code
  • run npm run build
  • delete all except dist
  • Move the dist to anoter folder

• Step for a HTML deploy:

  • Pull down code
  • delete .gitignore
  • delete Readme
  • move all other to the specified location

• Steps for a Nodejs deployment:

  • Pull down the code
  • Delete unused files
  • somehow restart the running node process (maybe nodemon) || Kill the old screen and just start a new one

Example

deploy.createDeploy(); // Creates a dir to do the deploy in
deploy.exec(`git clone ${data.repository.url} .`); // Executes any ssh-deploy command in the dir the data comes with if you link the deploy
deploy.step(); // Steps to the next in this case 'Deletion'
deploy.delete('README.md'); // Deletes on file in the dir
deploy.delete(['.git', '.gitignore']); // Deletes an array of files in the dir
deploy.step('Build'); // Steps to Building
deploy.exec('npm run build');
deploy.step(); //Steps to Upload
await host.connect('IP-DEPLOY-SERVER', 'username', 'password', 'PATH-TO-DIR'); // Connects to the deploy host and decides the path to upload in this case: /var/ww/html/proj
await host.connect(config.get('Rooti')); // Connects to the deploy host and decides the path to upload in this case: /var/ww/html/proj
await host.upload(); // This will upload everything left in the dir
await host.upload('PATH'); // This will upload everything in the sub path of the deploy dir
host.disconnect(); // Cleanes the connection
deploy.deleteDeploy(); // Deletes the dir where the deploy was done // A Boolean if should save or not

Command Ideas

• trigger / t : Triggers a deployment process
• list / ls : lists all registered deployment processes
• history / h : lists a history of all the already deployed processes
• info / i : Shows Informations about one specified deployment process

Projects to Integrate

• Personal Website
• Ez-Uploader (Website)
• Dev-Ez-Uploader (Dev Edittion)
• GitHub-Information
• Amazon-Price-Tracker

Stretch

• Implement a database
  • Log every deployment
  • Display Deployments in an ui
• Implement multiple deploy hosts
• Implement a config file
  • Store the server connections there
• Discord Webhook Integration
• Slack Webhook Integration
• Upgrade to typescript
• On deploy store the current commit ID to trace back if something happens
• Implement a native Website renderer so it renders a file default on the slash route
• Implement a simple api to get deploy infos
• Implement hot swap deploys
