Mouflon v0.4.0

js/yml tool that allows Capistrano-like automatic deployment with config upload, linked dirs, and past releases

How it works

...

Getting Started

Mouflon is still in an early stage of development and has only been tested on linux machines.

npm install mouflon --save-dev

Once Mouflon has been installed you need to create a main deployment file that you will later execute in order to deploy your application. You can name it anything you like and the most simple version looks like this.

//file: deploy.js
var MouflonFactory, factory, mouflon;

MouflonFactory = require('mouflon');

factory = MouflonFactory.createFromArgV();

mouflon = factory.createMouflon();

mouflon.deploy();

Add --v to the command for verbose mode

Directory structure

...

Customizations

Paths

There are four paths that can be customized inside your deploy.js. Make sure to do this before the mouflon instance is created using factory.createMouflon(). You can invoke MouflonFactory.setPaths() with one or more paths.

//Sets only the path for temporary files
factory.setPaths({
    temp:     './temp',
});

//Sets all paths:
factory.setPaths({
    config:   './config',
    settings: './settings',
    temp:     './temp',
    cache:    './cache'
});
