Important

To keep normal set up - add to your docker file environment

- DEPLOYER_VERSION=6.8.0

Migrate from v6 to 7

1. Make sure you are running the latest docker image (you can pull this from inside docker desktop). deployer 7 currently works with 8.1 and 8.0 docker images.

2. Install the new module composer require --dev PlasticStudio/ps-deployer this now contains all the tasks that were present in the old deploy.php

3. Rename your deploy.php to deploy-backup.php

4. Create new deploy.php and add below new code all.

   <?php
   
   namespace Deployer;
   
   require 'vendor/plasticstudio/ps-deployer/ps_silverstripe.php';
   
   //Legacy deployer v6 path to use
   //set('current_path', '/container/application/current');
   set('repository', '[email protected]:PlasticStudio/skeletor.git');
   set('remote_assets_backup_path', '/container/backups/containers/latest/application/shared/public/assets'); //no trailing slash is important
   set('remote_assets_path', '/container/application/shared/public/assets/');
   set('local_assets_path', '/var/www/html/public/assets/');
   
   //Staging
   host('uat.domain.co.nz')
       ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'uat'])
       ->set('http_user', 'uatuser')
       ->set('remote_user', 'uatuser');
   
   
   //Production
   host('production.domain.co.nz')
       ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'prod'])
       ->set('http_user', 'produser')
       ->set('remote_user', 'uatuser');
   

5. Open files side by side copying across all site specific variables such as user, host, and files paths

6. After copying you can now delete your old deploy-backup.php

7. NEW CONTAINER: If this is a new container then we will need to prepare sitehost dep sitehost:prepare This will delete public folder and have it ready for symlink Set up ssh key for you to copy Set up php default config

   EXISITING CONTAINER: If this is an existing container then we will need to prepare sitehost. You will want to keep the current path for deploying. Uncomment the below line in your deploy.php file. //set('current_path', '/container/application/current');

   UPGRADING CONTAINER: todo

8. If this is an existing container then the final thing we will need to do is on your FIRST deployment, deploy by release_name. This will be the current release +1. To find our the current release, ssh into the container and check the releases folder.

dep deploy stage=uat --branch=master -o release_name=43

New set up

composer require PlasticStudio/ps-deployer

Create a new deploy.php file with the following contents and update where required:

<?php

namespace Deployer;

require 'vendor/plasticstudio/ps-deployer/ps_silverstripe.php';

//Legacy deployer v6 path to use
//set('current_path', '/container/application/current');
set('repository', '[email protected]:PlasticStudio/skeletor.git');
set('remote_assets_backup_path', '/container/backups/containers/latest/application/shared/public/assets'); //no trailing slash is important
set('remote_assets_path', '/container/application/shared/public/assets/');
set('local_assets_path', '/var/www/html/public/assets/');

//Staging
host('uat.domain.co.nz')
    ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'uat'])
    ->set('http_user', 'uatuser')
    ->set('remote_user', 'uatuser');


//Production
host('production.domain.co.nz')
    ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'prod'])
    ->set('http_user', 'produser')
    ->set('remote_user', 'uatuser');

Set up SiteHost ready for Deployer

todo follow guru card to set up, then you can run this command - this only needs to be run once

dep sitehost:prepare

This will:

• Delete public directory which is created on first creation of a Sitehost server, so we can use this path as a symlink
• Generates ssh key which you can copy to deployment keys on github project
• Create php default config

If you are doing a container upgrade on Sitehost then you will want to run this command immediately after

dep sitehost:prepare:deploy stage=uat --branch=master

This will update the config to the defaults and fix the symlink

Deployments

Deploying a site

It’s as easy as dep deploy. This will give you the option of which host to deploy to and will get current git HEAD to deploy.

dep deploy stage=uat

# Deploy the dev branch
dep deploy stage=uat --branch=master


# Deploy tag 1.0.1 to production
dep deploy stage=prod --tag=1.0.1

Database and assets

Make sure your deployer.php paths are set up correctly

Make a new backup, then save both db and assets from remote dep savefromremote:latest

Save both db and assets from remote dep savefromremote

Saves the most recent backup i.e. previous nights DB dep savefromremote:db

Saves the most recent backup i.e. previous nights Assets dep savefromremote:assets

Makes a temporary copy of current live assets, rolls back to this if there is a transfer issue. loadtoremote:assets

Docker

Deployer comes with ps docker image.

make sure to include - ~/.ssh:/tmp/.ssh:ro as a mounted volume in the docker-compose.yml

Keep old version of
