I've been trying out a deployment checklist which is a bit different than usual. It's a little script which helps me guides me through out the whole process.
So, on my current project, deploying for staging environment is performed in six(ish) steps:
- Inform everyone deploy is about to begin.
- On my local repository, switch to the
deploy
branch. - In it, execute the deploy command.
- Turn on the VPN.
- Open the site and tryout a feature or two.
- Turn off the VPN.
- Move cards forward.
- Inform everyone deploy has ended.
This is too long. At most it should be steps 1 and 6, with a Press deploy button in between. Depending on what "inform everyone" means—email, text, chat, yell—we can also automate that. And then we can finally make a build deploy in one step.
My script performs steps 2, 3, 4, and 4.2 for me. 😊 But I still have to move cards about on the board, and test is the site is up and running. 😕 For now, maybe I can use a Slack command line client to inform everyone,
So, without further ado, the script. Sensitive data was replaced with King Crimson(ish) references.
#!/bin/bash
set -eu
VPNNAME="PROJEKT-X-VPN"
config_elasticbeanstalk () {
mkdir .elasticbeanstalk
cd .elasticbeanstalk
cat <<EOF > config.yml
…yadda yadda yadda…
EOF
cd ..
}
run_elastic_beanstalk () {
echo "Running Elastic Beanstalk…"
config_elasticbeanstalk
eb deploy projekt-staging
}
clone_repository () {
echo "Cloning code repository…"
rm -rf projekt-x
git clone -q git@github.com:projekts/projekt-x.git
}
echo "Alert in #projekt-x the deploy is about to beging:"
echo " started \`projekt-staging\` deploy"
read -n 1 -p "Press any key to continue: "
cd /tmp && clone_repository
cd projekt-x && run_elastic_beanstalk
networksetup -connectpppoeservice "${VPNNAME}"
open https://projekt-x-staging.projekts.com
echo "Confirm if everything is okay."
read -n 1 -p "Press any key to continue: "
networksetup -connectpppoeservice "${VPNNAME}"
echo "Move cards"
open https://projekts.board.com/board/101421138
read -n 1 -p "Press any key to continue: "
echo "Inform in #projekt-x the deploy has ended:"
echo " finished \`projekt-staging\` deploy"
read -n 1 -p "Press any key to continue: "
echo "All done"
Inspiration for this script came from here.
The goal of a one build step was incited by him
