15. Ember-CLI-Deploy Plugins
    

    View Slide

16. An Ember-CLI-Deploy Plugin
    can implement up to 11 hooks
    

    View Slide

17. View Slide

18. So, it doesn’t just deploy.
    

    View Slide

19. Ember-CLI-Deploy can provision.
    

    View Slide

20. Ember-CLI-Deploy can build.
    

    View Slide

21. Ember-CLI-Deploy can deploy.
    

    View Slide

22. Ember-CLI-Deploy can manage releases.

25. Building a Plugin
    

    View Slide

26. Create the Ember addon and
    install the Ember-CLI-Deploy
    base plugin.
    STEP ONE
    

    View Slide

27. ember addon ember-cli-deploy-digitalocean
    

    View Slide

28. cd ember-cli-deploy-digitalocean
    npm install ember-cli-deploy-plugin --save
    

    View Slide

29. STEP TWO
    Manually deploy a Fastboot
    application, taking note of each
    action.
    (Provisioning, Deployment, etc.)
    

    View Slide

30. Let’s go through the steps.
    

    View Slide

31. Create a Droplet.
    

    View Slide

32. SSH into the droplet.
    

    View Slide

33. Install Nginx, Node, NPM, and
    Ember-Fastboot-Server on droplet
    

    View Slide

34. On local machine, build the
    Fastboot application.
    

    View Slide

35. SCP the built Ember
    application onto the droplet
    

    View Slide

36. On droplet, go to the uploaded
    app and run the Fastboot
    application.
    

    View Slide

37. Configure Nginx to proxy over the
    Fastboot’s server’s port and serve
    static assets.
    

    View Slide

38. Reload Nginx.
    

    View Slide

39. And you’re done.

40. STEP THREE
    Translate each recorded step
    into code.
    (Automation)

42. Automation Problems
    and Solutions
    

    View Slide

43. PROBLEM
    How do I create a droplet for
    the user?
    

    View Slide

44. SOLUTION
    Use DigitalOcean’s API and
    create an Ember command
    that creates the droplet.

46. export DO_ACCESS_TOKEN=
    

    View Slide

47. ember do:provision
    

    View Slide

48. View Slide

49. PROBLEM
    Installing all software
    dependencies on the droplet.
    (Provisioning)
    

    View Slide

50. WITHOUT FASTBOOT
    One package dependency.
    Web Server (NGINX) serves
    the static assets.
    

    View Slide

51. WITH FASTBOOT
    More dependencies. It’s not
    only NGINX. We now need
    Node, NPM, and Fastboot.
    

    View Slide

52. SOLUTION
    DigitalOcean Images and
    execution of commands via
    Node SSH2.

54. this.conn = new SSHClient();
    this.sshConfig = {
    host: config.ipAddress,
    port: 22,
    username: config.dropletUsername,
    privateKey:
    require('fs').readFileSync(config.privateKeyPath),
    password: config.dropletPassword,
    passphrase: config.passphrase,
    };

55. willUpload: function() {
    var conn = this.conn;
    conn.on('ready', () => {
    conn.exec(‘sudo apt-get update -y; sudo apt-get
    upgrade -y; sudo apt-get install -y nginx gcc build-
    essential; rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default', (err,
    stream) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    stream.on('data', (data) => {
    this.log('STDOUT: ' + data);
    }).on('end', (data) => {
    resolve();
    });
    })
    }).connect(this.sshConfig);
    })

56. PROBLEM
    How do I build my Ember
    application and get it onto the
    droplet?
    

    View Slide

57. SOLUTION
    Use ember-cli-deploy-build to
    build the application, NPM install
    dependencies, then SCP files
    onto the droplet.

59. configure: function() {
    //…
    this.scpConfig = {
    host: config.ipAddress,
    port: 22,
    username: process.env.DROPLET_USERNAME || 'root',
    privateKey:
    require('fs').readFileSync(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_DIR),
    password: process.env.DROPLET_PASSWORD,
    passphrase: process.env.PASSPHRASE,
    path: '/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ember-app'
    };
    this.scpClient = SCPClient;
    },

    var npmInstallTask = new NPMInstallTask({
    log: this.log.bind(this),
    distDir: context.distDir
    });
    return npmInstallTask.run()
    // more code down here
    }

61. upload: function(context) {
    this.log('Uploading assets to the droplet!');
    var scpClient = this.scpClient;
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    scpClient.scp(context.distDir, this.scpConfig, (err) => {
    if (err) {
    throw err;
    }
    //…
    return resolve();
    });
    });
    },

63. PROBLEM
    What if my droplet restarts
    and kills the Fastboot server?
    

    View Slide

64. SOLUTION
    Create a Fastboot Upstart
    Service on the droplet.

65. description "A job file for starting up the Fastboot service for Ember."
    author "Iheanyi Ekechukwu"
    start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
    stop on shutdown
    pre-start script
    npm install -g ember-fastboot-server
    echo "Starting Fastboot server" >> /var/log/fastboot.log
    end script
    script
    export HOME
    echo $$ > /var/run/fastboot.pid
    exec ember-fastboot /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ember-app >> /var/log/fastboot.log 2>&1
    end script
    pre-stop script
    rm /var/run/fastboot.pid
    echo "Fastboot Server Stopping" >> /var/log/fastboot.log
    end script

    // other code…upload fast boot
    fileClient.upload('./node_modules/ember-cli-
    deploy-digitalocean/templates/fastboot.conf', '/
    etc/init/fastboot.conf', err => {
    if (err) {
    this.log(err, {color: 'red'});
    throw err;
    }
    // other code…
    });
    

    View Slide

67. PROBLEM
    How do I get the application
    up and served up to the user?
    

    View Slide

68. SOLUTION
    Upload a custom NGINX
    config and restart everything.

    include /etc/nginx/mime.types*;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
