A few words

###Description

• Deploy your project usinc rsync (must be installed) in ssh mode.
• Setup deployment on many servers.
• Easily create rules for rsync (ignore / force files).
• Schedule commands to run on ditant server via ssh (SSH2 PHP extension required).

###Links

• Stable releases : https://github.com/besimple/DeploymentBundle
• Nightly builds : https://github.com/jfsimon/DeploymentBundle
• Rest documentation : will come later

###Requirements

• Rsync package : http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/
• SSH2 extension : http://fr.php.net/manual/en/book.ssh2.php

How to install

1. Get the sources via GIT

   • Use clone method if not using GIT for your project

     git clone git://github.com/besimple/DeploymentBundle.git vendor/BeSimple/DeploymentBundle

   • Use submodule method if this is the case

     git submodule add git://github.com/besimple/DeploymentBundle.git vendor/BeSimple/DeploymentBundle

2. Register bundle in AppKernel class

   // app/AppKernel.php
   
   $bundles = array(
       // ...
       new BeSimple\DeploymentBundle\BeSimpleDeploymentBundle(),
       // ...
   );
   

3. Add besimple_deployment entry to your config file

   # app/config.yml
   
   be_simple_deployment:
       rsync:    ~
       ssh:      ~
       rules:    ~
       commands: ~
       servers:  ~
   

4. Add BeSimple namespace to autoload

   // app/autoload.php
   
   $loader->registerNamespaces(array(
       // ...
       'BeSimple' => __DIR__.'/../vendor',
       // ...
   ));
   

How to configure

###An example

be_simple_deployment:

    rsync:
        delete:       true

    ssh:
        pubkey_file:  /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
        privkey_file: /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa
        passwphrase:  secret

    rules:
        eclipse:
            ignore:   [.settings, .buildpath, .project]
        git:
            ignore:   [.git, .git*, .svn]
        symfony:
            ignore:   [/app/logs/*, /app/cache/*, /web/uploads/*, /web/*_dev.php]

    commands:
        cache_warmup:
            type:     symfony
            command:  cache:warmup
        fix_perms:
            type:     shell
            command:  ./bin/fix_perms.sh

    servers:
        staging:
            host:     localhost
            username: login
            password: passwd
            path:     /path/to/project
            rules:    [eclipse, symfony]
            commands: [cache_warmup, fix_perms]
        production:
            # ...

###Rsync configuration

To be continued.

###SSH configuration

To be continued.

###Rules configuration

Rules can be declared as templates for reuse in your servers configuration. Some templates are already bundled by default. The following parameters can be used :

• ignore : masks for the files to be ignored
• force : ignored files can be forced this way

###Servers configuration

Here is the full list of parameters :

• host :
• rsync_port :
• ssh_port :
• username
• password :
• path : the path for your application root on the remote server
• rules : list of rules templates to apply
• commands : list of commands to trigger on destination server

How to use

###Using the commands

The simpliest way to deploy your application is to use the command line, go into your project root folder and type the following commands :

# Test your deployment :
./app/console deployment:test [server]

# Launch your deployment :
./app/console deployment:launch [server]

You can use the verbose option (-v) to get all feedback from rsync and remote ssh commands.

###Using the service

You can also use the deployment feature within your controller by invoking the 'deployment' service :

// Test your deployment :
$this->get('besimple_deployment')->test([$server]);

// Launch your deployment :
$this->get('besimple_deployment')->launch([$server]);

You can connect many events to know what's happening.

###Deployer events

• onDeploymentStart : fired on deployment start.
• onDeploymentSuccess : fired on deployment success.

###Rsync events

• onDeploymentRsyncStart : fired when rsync is started.
• onDeploymentRsyncFeedback : fired on each rsync stdout or stderr line.
• onDeploymentRsyncSuccess : fired on rsync success.

###SSH events

• onDeploymentSshStart : fired when SSH command run.
• onDeploymentSshFeedback : fired on each SSH stdout or stderr line.
• onDeploymentSshSuccess : fired on SSH command success.
