Dpl

Dpl (dee-pee-ell) is a deploy tool made for continuous deployment. Developed and used by Travis CI.

Supported Providers:

Dpl supports the following providers:

• AppFog
• Cloud Foundry
• cloudControl
• dotCloud (experimental)
• Engine Yard
• Heroku
• Nodejitsu
• NPM
• Openshift
• PyPi
• RubyGems
• S3
• Divshot.io
• Rackspace Cloud Files
• AWS OpsWorks

Installation:

Dpl is published to rubygems.

• Dpl requires ruby with a version greater than 1.8.7
• To install: gem install dpl

Usage:

###Security Warning:

Running dpl in a terminal that saves history is insecure as your password/api key will be saved as plain text by it.

###Global Flags

• --provider=<provider> sets the provider you want to deploy to. Every provider has slightly different flags, which are documented in the section about your provider following.
• Dpl will deploy by default from the latest commit. Use the --skip_cleanup flag to deploy from the current file state. Note that many providers deploy by git and could ignore this option.

Heroku:

Options:

• api-key: Heroku API Key
• strategy[git/anvil]: Deployment strategy for Dpl. Defaults to anvil.
• app: Heroku app name. Defaults to the name of your git repo.
• username: heroku username. Not necessary if api-key is used. Requires git strategy.
• password: heroku password. Not necessary if api-key is used. Requires git strategy.

Git vs Anvil Deploy:

• Anvil will run the buildpack compilation step on the Travis CI VM, whereas the Git strategy will run it on a Heroku dyno, which provides the same environment the application will then run under and might be slightly faster.
• The Git strategy allows using user and password instead of api-key.
• When using Git, Heroku might send you an email for every deploy, as it adds a temporary SSH key to your account.

As a rule of thumb, you should switch to the Git strategy if you run into issues with Anvil or if you're using the user-env-compile plugin.
