ember-cli-deploy-simply-ssh

This plugin implements the most basic deploy strategy: deploying through ssh/sftp onto a remote server.

Installation

$ ember install ember-cli-deploy
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-build
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-revision-data
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-gzip
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-simply-ssh

Notice that ember-cli-deploy-revision-data and ember-cli-deploy-gzip are optional.

Setup

Example of deploy.js:

module.exports = function(deployTarget) {
  var ENV = {};

  if (deployTarget === 'production') {
    ENV['build'] = {
      environment: 'production'
    }

    ENV['simply-ssh'] = {
      connection: {
        // parameter hash accepted by SSH2, see https://github.com/mscdex/ssh2 for details
        host: process.env.SSH_HOST,
        port: process.env.SSH_PORT,
        username: process.env.SSH_USER,
        privateKey: process.env.SSH_KEY
      },
      dir: '/var/www/app',
      keep: 5
    }
  }

  return ENV;
};

Example of .env.deploy.production:

SSH_HOST=yourhost.com
SSH_PORT=22
SSH_USER=deploy
SSH_KEY=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa

• You can also use password, passphrase, and any other params supported by SSH2.

It makes sense to add .env.deploy.* to your .gitignore file.

Usage

With ember-cli-deploy-revision-data

Application releases are placed into (dir)/releases folder using revision keys:

/var/www/app/releases/35h23jh23j52k3jg5k32jh5
/var/www/app/releases/2lkjs9d93ukhf3798oasjf7

The information about deployed revisions is stored in /var/www/app/releases/revisions.json. It can become out of sync, in this case you will need to delete unaccounted revisions on the server manually.

To make a revision active, you must activate it; the activation creates a symbolic link /var/www/app/current pointing to the active revision.

You can choose to activate the release right after deployment: ember deploy production --activate

You can also activate it afterwards:

ember deploy production
ember deploy:activate production --revision 35h23jh23j52k3jg5k32jh5

To list the available releases, use: ember deploy:list production

- =================================
- > 2017/08/26 13:52:53 | 35h23jh23j52k3jg5k32jh5
-   2017/09/08 16:43:16 | 2lkjs9d93ukhf3798oasjf7

The keep option defines how many of the most recent revisions will be kept on server. The active release cannot be deleted so it is excluded from the count. For example, if you have keep == 3 and your active release is older than 3 most recent releases, then total number of available releases will be 4.

Without ember-cli-deploy-revision-data

Without the revision data plugin, all files are placed into dir folder as is; in this case you don't need to activate the release, and you won't have the list of available releases.

GZipping

Whether you use ember-cli-deploy-gzip or not, this plugin will copy appropriate files into the defined directory.

• P.S. If you use it on a Windows machine or with a Windows-driven web server, please provide a feedback if you have any issues. To support these combinations, we might need some extra options.
