auto-deploy

auto deploy github based project and others

language: also available in: -

Use

Add launch line to package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "auto-deploy": "auto-deploy-run server/server.js"
  }
}

Use the module in your server

var autoDeploy = require('auto-deploy');

app.use('/tools', autoDeploy.middleware({pid:12345}));

To log into a text file you can pass the filename as an argument to auto-deploy-run, for example:

{
  "scripts": {
    "auto-deploy": "auto-deploy-run -l server.log server/server.js"
  }
}

Then start the server with

npm run-script auto-deploy

Then run commands in the URL of the browser, for example:

http://theserver.zzz/tools/auto-deploy?restart

http://theserver.zzz/tools/auto-deploy?stop&pid=3344

main goal

To have the possibility to specify in the address bar of the browser the need to install a new version:

• auto deploy by URL (GET request)
• the server executes a stop (as clean as possible)
• the server updates git pull or svn update, etc
• the server installs the new version npm prune, npm install
• the server executes npm start --production or similar command

possible improvements

• the servers checks the local repository to ensure it's cleaness (to prevent conflicts with the git pull)
• the possibility to register a function that checks the integrity and status of the server.
  • in the case where it's safe to shutdown the server, it returns an explanatory message and a random code to force. ie: force=4312
  • the force option executes the indicated action anyway.
