Environment configuration¶
Component assignment (TODO)¶
General parameters (TODO)¶
General environment parameters are set in the [environment] config section.
Example:
[environment]
service_user = website
host_domain = gocept.net
platform = gocept
branch = production
- service_user
- The deployment is run as this user on remote machines. If this is not the same as the user connecting via ssh, a sudo to the service user is performed.
- host_domain
- All hosts in the
[hosts]section are postfixed with this domain. This is handy do make the host/component assignment less verbose - update_method
hg-bundle|hg-pull|git-bundle|git-pull|rsync, sets how the remote deployment repository is updated.
- pull, the default, uses hg/git clone and/or hg/git pull on the remote site.
- bundle will copy the necessary changes as Mercurial/Git bundle, via the batou ssh link.
- rsync will rsync the working copy. This is most useful in combination with the vagrant platform.
- branch
- For remote deployments, use this and only this branch. batou will complain if the local branch does not match the set branch in the environment.
- platform
- Set the platform for this environment.
- timeout
- Set the ssh connection timeout in seconds.
- target_directory
- Absolute path of the directory on remote machines where the remote
deployment repository is stored. Supports tilde expansion. Default:
~/deployment.
