grunt-beam
Yet another capistrano-less deployment flow for node.js applications with grunt.
But attention: i would not consider it to be stable ;-) There are no tests and it's lacking a proper documentation for now, sorry!
Configuration
Simple example configuration with two servers:
beam: stage: servers: host: 'server1.domain.tld' enterCredentials: true host: 'server1.domain.tld' host: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' enterCredentials: false username: 'xxxx' privateKey: './id_rsa' passphrase: 'xxxxxx' nodeUser: 'root' nodeEnv: 'production' targetPath: '/root/apps' releaseArchive: 'out/<%= packageInfo.name %>-<%= packageInfo.version %>.tar.gz' Further configuration parameters
...and its current default options:
var beamDefaultServerOptions = enterCredentials: false agent: processenvSSH_AUTH_SOCK pingInterval: 3000 port: 22 username: 'root'; var beamDefaultOptions = appName: packageInfoname packageInfo: packageInfo releaseArchive: './release.tar.gz' releaseArchiveTarget: 'RELEASE.tar.gz' releaseFolderName: 'releases' currentLinkName: 'current' logFolderName: 'logs' targetPath: '/var/apps' releaseName: packageInfoname+'-'+packageInfoversion nodeUser: '' nodeEnv: '' nodeEnvExtras: '' nodeBinary: 'node' npmBinary: 'npm' npmInstallOptions: '--production' appCommand: packageInfomain || 'index.js';Supported commands
