MixPhoenixDeploy

A capistrano-like deployment solution for Phoenix applications

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding mix_phoenix_deploy to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:mix_phoenix_deploy, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end

Use

configure deploy.yml in your application root with a stage and the parameters as in the provided deploy.yml.example

Now you can do command like deploys like this:

~$ mix phoenix.deploy -production

Gotchas

• You must have elixir, erlang and git installed on remote server
• Your local private keyfile (in ~/.ssh) must be called id_rsa
• You will probably have to do a sudo apt-get install build-essential on remote server to compile deps with c code (bcrypt is a good example)
• Make sure your config/prod.exs imports from /home/-deploy user-/-app root-/shared/prod.secret.exs
• Make sure you have generated a private key on the remote server and added the public key to your git profile
• make sure you have added something like the following with sudo visudo on the remote server: deploy ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL so the deployer doesn't get stuck waiting for the sudoer password

Todo

• pre and post deploy hooks
• rollback
