Just a small tool for deploying my site to AWS.
This could totaly be done in a bash script in about 10 lines. Thats actaully what my inital version was, but I wanted to learn Go, so after 10 17 dependencies and over 200 lines of code, I have a working script. You might ask, why not just use the aws cli? Well thats what I should be using, but I have a bit of a unique use case. When I want to deploy changes to my site, I might need to update files that aren't store in my repository for my site, such as a new PDF for my resume, set up scripts, etc. Initally these files were hard coded in the script, but I decided that was a bit lazy, so I introduced a config.yaml file for defining these files to copy and upload. Neat 📸
The script is going to expect a config.yaml file in the root directory where the script is executed from. There is an example file provided.
bucket defines the name of the bucket to upload to.
region defines the region to upload to.
files is an map, where the key is the path in the S3 bucket for the file to be uploaded to, and the value is the path in the OS to the file to upload. You can use . as a key to indicate not not nest the file in a folder in S3
ignore is an array of files and directories that should not be uploaded.
go build
./godeploy FLAGS
-copy Copies files from outside the site directory into the site directory
-upload Uploads the contents of the site directory folder to an AWS Bucket
-commit Does the git dance (add, commit, push). You can add a commit message here too
./godeploy -copy -upload -commit "Adding new easter eggs to site"
