Thoughts on supporting Octopus Deploy script packages
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Hi there,
This looks like a pretty awesome tool 👍
As well as PSGallery and Artifactory I could see a pretty compelling use case for being able to deploy scripts to an Octopus Deploy package. As of version 3.3 Octopus supports running powershell scripts from within a package.
The use case here would be that you have source controller powershell scripts that you want Octopus to execute during a deployment. Does this sound like something worth implementing?
Very cool! Haven't used it, but is the idea that you could deploy/update one of those package with PSDeploy, presumably through their API?
Either way, if it's something you would use, I'm sure others would - if you want to take a stab at implementing it go ahead! Hit me up if you have any questions
Cheers!
Yeah I would propose psdeploy would support an octopus server as a deployment target. The easiest way to create the package and upload it, is to use their octo.exe tool - is it ok to take an external dependency on a cmdline tool like that?
If not it could also be accomplished using file compression cmdlets and then interacting through http with the octopus server but it'd be alot more ugly than just calling the tool
Sure, that works - because these are just scripts that we build up arguments for, it won't hurt if one of them has a dependency - the chocolatey deploymenttype does something similar.
Cheers!
