doomsday

Ship software like the universe is about to end.

Doomsday is a project aiming to deploy software using the Sparkfun Big Red Dome Button and a Raspberry Pi. You know your SaaS shop is really a badass code factory, and you need a badass button to let everyone know you're pushing to production. That's where Doomsday comes in.

Step 1: Choose a plugin (or build your own)

You can configure Doomsday in a ~/.doomsdayrc file. This is a JSON formatted file containing the following keys:

plugin - The plugin you want to use. plugin_opts - Any options that must be passed to the plugin at run time.

The only deploy system currently supported is Dreadnot.

Step 2: Configure Doomsday

Dreadnot configuration

Set plugin to "dreadnot". The following plugin options are accepted:

• ssl - Set this to true if your Dreadnot server is behind HTTPS.
• host - Your Dreadnot server's host name.
• username - Your Dreadnot username.
• password - Your Dreadnot password.
• stack - The Dreadnot stack you want to deploy.
• region - The region you want to deploy to.

Plugin API

Each plugin should export an object with a single deploy(logger, options, callback) method. Plugins are encouraged to log in detail what is happening with the deployment and should log to the provided logger, which is a Winston logger. The options are passed directly from ~/.doomsdayrc. Plugins should propagate errors immediately in the standard Node style, but should not call back with success until the deployment is finished. This will allow Doomsday to flash the button until the deploy succeeds.
