Middleman Deploy - Deploy a middleman built site over rsync, git (e.g. gh-pages on github) or via ftp.

Build Status

===

QUICK START

Step 1

gem install middleman-deploy

Step 2

middleman init example-site
cd example-site

Step 3

Edit Gemfile, and add:

gem "middleman-deploy", "~> 0.0.11"

Then run:

bundle install

Step 4a - Rsync setup

First be sure that rsync is installed.

These settings are required.

Edit config.rb, and add:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :rsync
  deploy.user = "tvaughan"
  deploy.host = "www.example.com"
  deploy.path = "/srv/www/site"
end

Adjust these values accordingly.

These settings are optional.

To use a particular SSH port, add:

  deploy.port = 5309

Default is 22.

To remove orphaned files or directories on the remote host, add:

  deploy.clean = true

Default is false.

Step 4b - Git setup

Edit config.rb, and add:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :git
end

By default this will deploy to the gh-pages branch on the origin remote. The build directory will become a git repo.

These settings are optional.

To use a particular remote, add:

  deploy.remote = "some-other-remote-name"

Default is origin. This can be a remote name or a git url.

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'.

To use a particular branch, add:

  deploy.branch = "some-other-branch-name"

Default is gh-pages. This branch will be created on the remote if it doesn't already exist.

Step 4c - FTP setup

These settings are required.

Edit config.rb, and add:

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

Adjust these values accordingly.

Step 5

middleman build [--clean]
middleman deploy [--clean]

To automatically run middleman-deploy after middleman build, add:

  deploy.after_build = true

Default is false.

Please note that if the --clean or --no-clean option is passed to middleman build it will not be passed to middleman deploy. For now only the value of deploy.clean in config.rb will be used.

NOTES

Inspired by the rsync task in Octopress.
