Requirements

• PHP7
• Web server
• Access to shell for the PHP
• Installed git

Quick start

1. Clone the repository and do the composer install
2. Look at the app/config/parameters.yml to eventually correct the API key or other settings
3. Create a app/config/deploy.yml basing on the app/config/deploy.yml.dist.
4. Optionally put your files that you want to deploy additionally with the application (eg. configuration files) into the var/repositories_override/{repository name}
5. Set up a webserver to point to /web directory and rewrite everything through app.php (for testin use: php bin/console server:start)

Adding configuration files, overriding files

By putting custom files into a override directory there is a possibility to deploy additional files to the destination server.

To achieve that you need to create a var/repositories_override/{repository name} directory and put your files in it. Everything will be copied to the repository, commited and pushed to the destination server.

Example request

POST http://localhost:8000/test/deploy/my_web_proxy

{
    "ref": "refs/heads/master"
}

Explanation:

• /test/ - API key should be inserted instead o "test"
• /my_web_proxy - this is the name of a service, see deploy.yml
• "ref": "refs/heads/master" - that's a part of github's payload, it's a reference name which includes a branch name you can submit also "branch": "master" if you like to
