Autodeploy

!Autodeploy cover

Automate Modules development and deploy testing process to N instances with an extremely fast and easy configuration.

Supported CMS environment

Currently autodeploy supports Wordpress and Prestashop environments.

Installation

Go on your server's CMS root folder and type

npx degit buggyzap/autodeploy autodeploy

cd autodeploy composer install

Configuration

Rename autodeploy.config.sample.json to autodeploy.config.json and add your

• token: Github Token to authorize git clone/pull operations
• username: Your Github username
• repo: Your Module Github repository name
• filename: Your module .zip filename, eg: mymodule.zip
• module: Your module name, like: mymodule
• security_token: A security token you can create to add an extra layer security between Github and your server instance

How it works

Assuming that you are using wp-plugin-helper or you just have a repository where your module code lives, you need to create a Github release everytime you want to deploy and push changes dynamically to every instances configured.

Local development side

You need to setup your module to create a .zip file and add it to your Github release.

You can have this flow with using my NPM TOOL that let you automate Wordpress plugin development, releasing, testing and deploy.

After that you have configured your Github repo with a .zip release and tag you are ready to configure server side.

Server development side

After installed it on server side ( Installation section ) go to Github and create a new webhook for each instance you want to configure with the autodeploy.

Eg. you have a mywebsite.com and want to use it with autodeploy.

Create a new Github Webhook event that call the url:

https://mywebsite.com/git_hook_update_module.php?security_token=123

for each release event.

Leave other configurations as default and save.

Try to create a new Github release and you got an automatically updated instance (mywebsite.com) module production folder.

Why you may need it

Imagine the scenario you want to test your module in 20 different instances like

• Multi shop version
• Multi language version
• Multi currency
• Thousands of different product types
• Multiple CMS version and setup

With a single local development environment you will create a new release and test you module on every instance you want.
