Organist

Organist is an open source tool which helps you manage and execute deployments. It's built on top of Symfony2 and Capistrano/Capifony. More @ http://organist.github.io. I built it for Netvlies (netvlies.nl) to deploy application through through a DTAP stack. Main goal is to centralize security by not having passwords in git, but only in Organist and inject them during deployment.

Setup

This is the bare Organist application including the Symfony 2.3 framework. Unless you want to change/add customizations to Organist, you may want to start here to read instructions howto build up the box. Which will build a fully functional box (this is due to some system dependencies like Anyterm)

Manual Setup

If you want to use it without packer and puppet than these are the rough instructions for setting up:

• Clone this repository
• Use composer to install vendors
• Install the Anyterm service

You still need to install anyterm. And have your packages right. You can review this in the puppetscripts. An exact guide can't be given due to the many dependant configuration parameters and system dependencies used in Organist.

Configure

Configure the path where repositories are stored for your deployment descriptors.

repository_path:  /home/deploy/organist/web/repos

In your config.yml

netvlies_publish:
    repositorypath: %repository_path%
    anyterm_user: deploy   # this local user is used for connecting to remote hosts for deployment and git user
    anyterm_exec_port: 7778 # anyterm port
    versioningservices:
        git:
            forward_key: /home/deploy/.ssh/id_rsa_bitbucket
    applicationtypes:
        symfony23:
            label: Symfony 2.3
        symfony25:
            label: Symfony 2.5
        myapplicationtype:
            label: My Super CMS
            userdirs: [ 'img', 'cache', 'lucene', 'tmp' ]
            userfiles: [ 'cms/.htpasswd', 'cms/.htaccess' ]
