beeper.py

Bundling virtualenv.py, wheels and you project as a relocatable tar.

That makes you have an enjoyment of deploy experience: fetch tar, extract tar, run install, and it' done!

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install beeper

Write your beeper.yml

Example:

application: app
manifest:
    - app/
    - manage.py
postbuild:
    - npm install
    - ./node_modules/.bin/webpack
postinstall:
    - echo "Done."

• define application, which will be prefix in the naming of tar
• define manifest, which declares what files will be included into tar
• define scripts, which will be executed in a row before packaging into a tar
• define postinstall, which will be executed in a row after tar been deployed and relocated.

Run build process

beeper build is the most important command. It will run scripts, pack all of the manifest files and wheels into a tar.

Example

$ ls
app  beeper.yml manage.py

$ beeper build --version b3d53cf
...

$ tar -tzvf dist/app-b3d53cf.tgz
app/
.beeper-data/
  virtualenv.py
  requirements.txt
  ...
manage.py

Distribute package to server

A simple example of how to deploy a tar: use scp to upload tar to server, extract tar, run install.sh, and boom, run your server:

$ scp ./dist/app-b3d53cf.tgz deploy@your-server:/var/www/app/app-b3d53cf.tgz
$ ssh deploy@your-server /bin/bash -c "cd /var/www/app/; tar xzf app-b3d53cf.tgz; ./install.sh; venv/bin/python manage.py runserver"
