Middleman Deploy

Deploy your Middleman build via rsync, ftp, sftp, or git (e.g. gh-pages on github).

Installation

gem 'middleman-deploy', '~> 1.0'

Usage

$ middleman build [--clean]
$ middleman deploy [--build-before]

Possible Configurations

Middleman-deploy can deploy a site via rsync, ftp, sftp, or git. Checkout the wiki for advanced set-up options.

Rsync

Make sure that rsync is installed, and activate the extension by adding the following to config.rb:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :rsync
  deploy.host          = 'www.example.com'
  deploy.path          = '/srv/www/site'
  # Optional Settings
  # deploy.user  = 'tvaughan' # no default
  # deploy.port  = 5309 # ssh port, default: 22
  # deploy.clean = true # remove orphaned files on remote host, default: false
  # deploy.flags = '-rltgoDvzO --no-p --del' # add custom flags, default: -avz
end

Git (e.g. GitHub Pages)

Make sure that git is installed, and activate the extension by adding the following to config.rb:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :git
  # Optional Settings
  # deploy.remote   = 'custom-remote' # remote name or git url, default: origin
  # deploy.branch   = 'custom-branch' # default: gh-pages
  # deploy.strategy = :submodule      # commit strategy: can be :force_push or :submodule, default: :force_push
  # deploy.commit_message = 'custom-message'      # commit message (can be empty), default: Automated commit at `timestamp` by middleman-deploy `version`
end

If you use a remote name, you must first add it using git remote add. Run git remote -v to see a list of possible remote names. If you use a git url, it must end with '.git'.

Afterwards, the build directory will become a git repo.

If you use the force push strategy, this branch will be created on the remote if it doesn't already exist. But if you use the submodule strategy, you must first initialize build folder as a submodule. See git submodule add documentation.

FTP

Activate the extension by adding the following to config.rb:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method   = :ftp
  deploy.host            = 'ftp.example.com'
  deploy.path            = '/srv/www/site'
  deploy.user            = 'tvaughan'
  deploy.password        = 'secret'
end

SFTP

Activate the extension by adding the following to config.rb:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method   = :sftp
  deploy.host            = 'sftp.example.com'
  deploy.port            = 22
  deploy.path            = '/srv/www/site'
  # Optional Settings
  # deploy.user     = 'tvaughan' # no default
  # deploy.password = 'secret' # no default
end

Run Automatically

To automatically run middleman build during middleman deploy, turn on the build_before option while activating the deploy extension:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  # ...
  deploy.build_before = true # default: false
end

Multiple Environments

Deploy your site to more than one configuration using environment variables.

# config.rb
case ENV['TARGET'].to_s.downcase
when 'production'
  activate :deploy do |deploy|
    deploy.method   = :rsync
    deploy.host            = 'www.example.com'
    deploy.path            = '/srv/www/production-site'
  end
else
  activate :deploy do |deploy|
    deploy.method   = :rsync
    deploy.host            = 'staging.example.com'
    deploy.path            = '/srv/www/staging-site'
  end
end

# Rakefile
namespace :deploy do
  def deploy(env)
    puts "Deploying to #{env}"
    system "TARGET=#{env} bundle exec middleman deploy"
  end

  task :staging do
    deploy :staging
  end

  task :production do
    deploy :production
  end
end

$ rake deploy:staging
$ rake deploy:production
