Deliver is a pure bash deployment tool with virtually no dependencies. It only cares about having enough info in the shell environment to do its job. Why add Ruby or Python wrappers on top of system commands when bash was built for this?
Capistrano was just infuriating when you added rvm and bundler into the mix, git-deploy is great for single server, but what if you're running a bunch of auto-scaled clusters (Ruby, node.js etc.)?
At [GoSquared] 1, the place where deliver started, each of us is free to use their own programming language. As long as the service exposes an API and has decent test coverage, anything goes. Yes, even PHP.
Delivering a nodejs service to multiple hosts:
![deliver nodejs service to multiple hosts] 2
Delivering deliver to [github:pages] 8 (very inception-esque):
![deliver deliver to github:pages] 7
Strategies is what sets this utility apart from everything else. By default, it comes with strategies for:
You can also add your own, project-specific strategies. [Read more about deliver strategies.] 6
$ git clone git://github.com/gerhard/deliver.git ~/.deliver$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.deliver/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
# if using zsh
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.deliver/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc $ . ~/.bash_profile
# if using zsh
$ . ~/.zshrc There are no generators or initializers, you will need to manually create a
.deliver/config file in the app's root folder that you want to deliver.
This is a good example:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
APP="events"
SERVERS="ruby-1,ruby-2"
PORT="5000"From the root of your project, run:
$ deliver check![deliver check] 9
This will print the most important config settings and ensure that deliver has everything that it needs for a successful run.
Deliver will use the ruby strategy by default. If you want to use a different
one, specify it in your .deliver/config file.
