Deployment & build control

One command hot deployments.

Heroku

Deploying to heroku only takes a few steps.

To create a new Heroku app...

yo makeme:heroku

Important: To work with the new heroku app using the command line, you will need to run any heroku commands from the dist folder.

If you're using mongoDB you will need to add a database to your app:

heroku addons:create mongolab

Your app should now be live. To view it run heroku open.

---

If you're using any oAuth strategies, you must set environment variables for your selected oAuth. For example, if we're using Facebook oAuth we would do this :

heroku config:set FACEBOOK_ID=id
heroku config:set FACEBOOK_SECRET=secret

You will also need to set DOMAIN environment variable:

heroku config:set DOMAIN=<your-heroku-app-name>.herokuapp.com

# or (if you're using it):

heroku config:set DOMAIN=<your-custom-domain>

To make your deployment process easier consider using grunt-build-control.

Pushing Updates

gulp

Commit and push the resulting build, located in your dist folder:

gulp buildcontrol:heroku

Openshift

Deploying to OpenShift can be done in just a few steps:

yo makeme:openshift

A live application URL will be available in the output.

oAuth

If you're using any oAuth strategies, you must set environment variables for your selected oAuth. For example, if we're using Facebook oAuth we would do this :

rhc set-env FACEBOOK_ID=id -a my-openshift-app
rhc set-env FACEBOOK_SECRET=secret -a my-openshift-app

You will also need to set DOMAIN environment variable:

rhc set-env DOMAIN=<your-openshift-app-name>.rhcloud.com

# or (if you're using it):

rhc set-env DOMAIN=<your-custom-domain>

After you've set the required environment variables, restart the server:

rhc app-restart -a my-openshift-app

To make your deployment process easier consider using grunt-build-control.

Pushing Updates

gulp

Commit and push the resulting build, located in your dist folder:

gulp buildcontrol:openshift
