Small, simple script to deploy small simple websites.

Deployer

A small and simple script to help you install stuff on a server.

It isn't Debian packaging. It isn't Docker. It's really just to help me, a little bit.

Packages

sudo apt-get install      \
  libmodern-perl-perl     \
  libconfig-simple-perl   \
  libfile-slurp-perl      \
  libipc-run3-perl        \
  libjson-any-perl        \
  jq

Deployer's Plan

Note that most of these steps are optional except 1-4 which are compulsory.

1. checks it can get sudo
2. git fetch and rebase
3. setup:

• creates "safe_name" from current dir name
• checks to see if package.json exists (then is_node is true)

4. reads deployer/settings for apex/port/www/cmd
5. reads deployer/env
6. checks for deployer/ENV_* files
7. installs packages from deployer/packages (if exists)
8. runs npm ci as needed
9. makes the project is a Makefile exists (if exists)
10. minifies files in deployer/minify (if exists)
11. creates dirs in deployer/dirs (if exists)
12. copies deployer/cron.d to the right place (if exists)
13. creates a supervisor file to run the server (if exists)
14. creates an Nginx file to be able to proxy through: (a) for CertBot (b) with a Cloudflare Origin Certificate
15. runs CertBot if asked for

Note: deployer.pl will add the following ENV VARS where needed without them having to be in deployer/env:

• APEX (from deployer/settings)
• PORT (from deployer/settings)
• NODE_ENV=production (if is_node)
• then all env vars in deployer/env

Sample Files

deployer/settings:

apex: screenshot.gd
port: 43790
www: 1

Any line with a ? value in deployer/env will be prompted for:

DATA_DIR: ?
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS: ?
