deploy-meteor

This is a simple command line Node app that helps you deploy/update a Meteor application.

Prerequisites

You need to install pm2 globally and have the server tarball, that meteor build creates, extracted already.

Also, we assume that you have your Meteor settings stored inside your Meteor app's assets. (You might want to check out git-crypt if you have sensitive information in your settings file.)

Installation

npm i -g @veho-tech/deploy-meteor

Usage

Assuming you have the following setup:

• extracted server tarball in /home/my-fancy-app/bundle

• an existing/prefilled pm2 config file in /home/my-fancy-app/pm2-config.json with a content looking like this:

  {
      "name": "my-fancy-app",
      "env": {
          "PORT": 3000,
          "HTTP_FORWARDED_COUNT": 1,
          "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://localhost:27017/my_fancy_app?replicaSet=rs0",
          "MONGO_OPLOG_URL": "mongodb://localhost:27017/local?replicaSet=rs0&authSource=my_fancy_app",
          "ROOT_URL": "https://my-fancy-app.com",
          "MAIL_URL": "smtp://bot%40my-fancy-app.com:[email protected]:587"
      }
  }

• your settings file is located inside your Meteor project at private/settings.json

  {
    "AWSAccessKeyId": "test",
    "AWSSecretAccessKey": "test",
    "AWSBucket": "test",
    "AWSRegion": "test"
  }

If you then run

npm i -g @veho-tech/deploy-meteor
deploy-meteor --config=/home/my-fancy-app/pm2-config.json --settings=settings.json /home/my-fancy-app/bundle

your config file /home/my-fancy-app/pm2-config.json will be updated like this:

{
    "name": "my-fancy-app",
    "cwd": "/home/my-fancy-app/bundle",
    "script": "main.js",
    "env": {
        "PORT": 3000,
        "HTTP_FORWARDED_COUNT": 1,
        "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://localhost:27017/my_fancy_app?replicaSet=rs0",
        "MONGO_OPLOG_URL": "mongodb://localhost:27017/local?replicaSet=rs0&authSource=my_fancy_app",
        "ROOT_URL": "https://my-fancy-app.com",
        "MAIL_URL": "smtp://bot%40my-fancy-app.com:[email protected]:587",
        "METEOR_SETTINGS": "{\"AWSAccessKeyId\":\"test\",\"AWSSecretAccessKey\":\"test\",\"AWSBucket\":\"test\",\"AWSRegion\":\"test\"}"
    }
}
