Deploy Bot

A simple tool for an agent less continuous deployment bot.

This project is under conception, if you would like to see it alive, **star it**.

Why Node.js ?

1- Node.js likes I/O !! provisionning is all about input and ouput.

2- Lets handle multiple long processes and concurencial access easily.

3- promisses and events are perfect for dependencies and notifications

Command line API

Configure servers hosts

./deploy-bot.json or /etc/deploy-bot.json

{
    "host": {
        "host": "host.lan",
        "username": "user",
        "privateKey": "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
    }
}

then run tasks:

deploy-bot -r uptime host

Programatic API

Connect

Shell = require('deploy-bot/shell');

var shell = new Shell();

shell.connect('host', function (shell) {
    console.log(shell.banner);
    shell.disconnect();
});

Install

bot.registerTask('node-mondodb', function (shell) {

    return Q([
        shell.install('yum', ['nodejs', 'mongodb']),
        shell.install('gem', 'foreman')
    ]).all();
});

Configure

bot.registerTask('conf', function (shell) {

    return Q([
        shell.install('yum', 'mongodb').then(function () {
            return shell.run('rm -rf /tmp/*');
        }),
        shell.user({ // not yet implemented
            name: 'appuser',
            home: '/var/lib/app',
            group: 'users'
        }),
        shell.file('/etc/logrotate.d/mongodb', {
            template: 'mongodb/logrotate'
        }),
        shell.file('/etc/mongod.conf', {
            template: 'mongodb/conf'
        })
    ]).all();
});

Roadmap

• Testable
• Migrable, profile version
• Profiles: aptitude, pacman
• simple cmd interface
• simple web gui
• Hubot adapter
• host "state" object attribute in host config
• host "base" attribute for merge target host "state" in host config
