Introduction

There are a lot of deployment tools, even in php. But none of them are simple and functional like Deployer.

Here is simple example of deployment script (deploy.php):

require 'deployer.phar';

$key = '~/.ssh/id_rsa';
task('prod_server', function () use ($key) {
    connect('prod.ssh.domain.com', 'user', $key);
});

task('test_server', function () use ($key) {
    connect('test.ssh.domain.com', 'user', $key);
});

task('upload', function () {
    upload(__DIR__, '/home/domain.com');
});

task('clear', function () {
    run('php bin/clear');
});

task('prod', 'Deploy on production.', ['prod_server', 'upload', 'clear']);
task('test', 'Deploy on test server.', ['test_server', 'upload', 'clear']);

start();

Now you can run php deploy.php prod command to deploy on production server.

Here you can see Symfony deployment example script.

Requirements

Deployer is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 and up.

Installation

You can download deployer as phar archive or you can use composer:

"require": {
    "elfet/deployer": "dev-master@dev"
}

If you use phar version, simple require it in your script:

require 'deployer.phar';

If your use composer version, require your autoload file and call deployer function.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
deployer();

Development

This project is still in development. I want to invite developers to join the development.

There are a lot of things needs to be implemented:

• Add rsync support if available.
• Add pecl ss2 extension support if available.
• Write better documentation and tests.

Documentation

task(name, [description], callback)

• name - required, you can run tasks from CLI.
• description - optional, describe your task. If false this task will be private and does not available from CLI.
• callback - closure or array of tasks.

connect(server, user, key, group = null)

Connect to server, login as user with key which is password or RSA key and add to group.

rsa(path, [password])

Can be used as key in connect function with path to your RSA key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) and password of your key.

cd(path)

Change remote directory to given path.

upload(from, to)

Upload local files or directories from to remote to.

ignore(array)

Ignore this files while uploading directories. array of string with * patterns.

run(command)

Run command in directory provided by cd function.

runLocally(command)

Run command locally.

writeln(message)
write(message)

Write message with/without new line.

group(group_name, function () {
    // run, cd, upload and ext commands
})

Run commands run, cd, upload only for group connections.

If your do not want include functions, you can use methods:

$tool = deployer(false);

$tool->task('connect', function () use ($tool) {
    $tool->connect('ssh.domain.com', 'user', 'password');
});

Every function is alias to Deployer\Tool methods.
