--- title: "Octopress Deploy" --- Currently this gem supports deploying static sites using S3, Git and Rsync. Pull request to support other deployment methods are welcome. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: gem 'octopress-deploy', '~> 1.0.0.rc.2' And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install octopress-deploy --pre ## Set up First set up a configuration file for your deployment method. ```sh $ octopress deploy init git # or rsync, s3 ``` This will generate a `_deploy.yml` file in your current directory which you can edit to add any necessary configuration. **Remember to add your configuration to `.gitignore` to be sure you never commit sensitive information to your repository.** ## Deploying Deployment is tailored to work with Jekyll, but it will work for any static site. Simply make sure your configuration points to the root directory of your static site (For Jekyll, that's probably `_site`) then tell Octopress to deploy it. ```sh $ octopress deploy ``` This will read your `_deploy.yml` configuration and deploy your site. If you like, you can specify a configuration file. ```sh $ octopress deploy --config _staging.yml ``` ## Pull down your site With the `pull` command, you can pull your site down into a local directory. ```sh octopress deploy pull ``` Mainly you'd do this if you're troubleshooting deployment and you want to see if it's working how you expected. ## Amazon S3 Deployment Configuration To deploy with Amazon S3 you will need to install the [aws-sdk gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/aws-sdk). Important: when using S3, you must add your `_deploy.yml` to your .gitignore to prevent accidentally sharing account access information. | Config | Description | Default |:--------------------|:------------------------------------------------------|:-------------| | `method` | Deployment method, in this case use 's3' | | | `site_dir` | Path to static site files | _site | | `bucket_name` | S3 bucket name | | | `access_key_id` | AWS access key | | | `secret_access_key` | AWS secret key | | | `remote_path` | Directory files should be synced to. | / | | `verbose` | [optional] Display all file actions during deploy. | true | | `region` | [optional] Region for your AWS bucket | us-east-1 | | `delete` | Delete files in `remote_path` not found in `site_dir` | false | If you choose a bucket which doesn't yet exist, Octopress Deploy will offer to create it for you, and offer to configure it as a static website. If you configure Octopress to delete files, all files found in the `remote_path` on S3 bucket will be removed unless they match local site files. If `remote_path` is a subdirectory, only files in that subdirectory will be evaluated for deletion. ### AWS config via ENV If you prefer, you can store AWS access credentials in environment variables instead of a conifiguration file. | Config | ENV var | |:--------------------|:-------------------------------| | `access_key_id` | AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | | `secret_access_key` | AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | Note: configurations in `_deploy.yml` will override environment variables so be sure to remove those if you decide to use environment variables. ### Add a new bucket If your AWS credentials are properly configured, you can add a new bucket with this command. ```sh octopress deploy add-bucket ``` This will connect to AWS, create a new S3 bucket, and configure it for static website hosting. This command can use the settings in your deployment configuration or you can pass options to override those settings. | Option | Description | Default |:--------------|:-------------------------------------------------|:---------------| | `--name` | Override the `bucket_name` configuration | | | `--region` | Override the `region` configuration | | | `--index` | Specify an index page for your site | index.html | | `--error` | Specify an error page for your site | error.html | | `--config` | Use a custom configuration file | _deploy.yml | You'll only need to pass options if you want to override settings in your deploy config file. ## Git Deployment Configuration Only `git_url` is required. Other options will default as shown below. | Config | Description | Default |:--------------|:-------------------------------------------------|:---------------| | `method` | Deployment method, in this case use 'git' | | | `site_dir` | Path to static site files | _site | | `git_url` | Url for remote git repository | | | `git_branch` | Deployment branch for git repository | master | | `deploy_dir` | Directory where deployment files are staged | .deploy | | `remote` | Name of git remote | deploy | ## Rsync Deployment Configuration | Config | Description | Default |:---------------|:--------------------------------------------------|:---------------| | `method` | Deployment method, in this case use 'rsync' | | | `site_dir` | Path to static site files | _site | | `user` | ssh user, e.g user@host.com | | | `port` | ssh port | 22 | | `remote_path` | Remote destination's document root | | | `exclude_file` | Path to a file containing rsync exclusions | | | `exclude` | Inline list of rsync exclusions | | | `include` | Inline list of inclusions to override exclusions | | | `delete` | Delete files in destination not found in source | false | You can rsync to a local directory by configuring `remote_path` and leaving off `user` and `port`. ## Contributing 1.
