debian-node-deploy v1.3.9

debian-node-deploy

Here is a little module I made to simplify my deployments needs.

How to use

Install locally

npm install debian-node-deploy

or

yarn add debian-node-deploy

create the config file on your app root : deploy.config.json.

Here is a sample configuration for node apps:

{
  "envFile": ".env.production",
  "host": "my-production-server.org",
  "port": 22,
  "user": "myusername",
  "sshKey": "/path/to/ssh/key",
  "filesRestoryPath": "/where/to/send/the/archive/containing/the/code/to/deploy",
  "deployPath": "/where/to/deploy/the/app/on/production/server",
  "appPreStopCommands": [],
  "appPostStopCommands": [],
  "appPreStartCommands": [],
  "appPostStartCommands": []
}

For a single page applications, we need to specify two more properties:

{
  "envFile": ".env.production",
  "host": "my-production-server.org",
  "port": 22,
  "user": "myusername",
  "password": "my password",
  "sshKey": "/path/to/ssh/key",
  "filesRestoryPath": "/where/to/send/the/archive/containing/the/code/to/deploy",
  "deployPath": "/where/to/deploy/the/app/on/production/server",
  "websiteDomain": "mywebsite.com",
  "appPreStopCommands": [],
  "appPostStopCommands": [],
  "appPreStartCommands": [],
  "appPostStartCommands": []
}

The last four properties allow you to specify commands to execute before/after stopping the previous version in production and before/after starting the app.

Usage

You can trigger a deploy from cli or from code. There is two types of deployments available:

• Node application
• Single page application

cli

Here is an example to add a deploy task to the scripts section of package.json.

"scripts": {
   "deploynodeapp": "npm run build && deployNodeApp",
   "deployspa": "npm run build && deploySinglePageApp"
},

js

import deployNodeApp from "debian-node-deploy";

(async () => {
  await deployNodeApp(); // To deploy a node app
  await deployspa(); // or to deploy a spa
})();
