Simple set of middleman rake tasks to build and deploy to AWS using s3_sync and cloudfront invalidation.

Installation and Configuration

Step 1: Add gems to the Gemfile

See the sample Gemfile for full configuration.

gem 'middleman-aws', '>=4.0.0'
gem 'middleman-s3_sync', '>=4.0.0'
gem 'middleman-cloudfront',
  #'>=4.0.0' waiting for release of PR https://github.com/andrusha/middleman-cloudfront/pull/23
  github: 'rosskevin/middleman-cloudfront', branch: 'middleman-4'

Step 2: Require this gem in the Rakefile

require 'middleman-aws'

Step 3: AWS credentials

Option 1 - secrets file

e.g. ~/.aws/acme.yml

This should contain the access and secret keys generated from the selected IAM user. This is the only file that will need to reside outside the repository. acme is equivalent to the directory name for your project. Don't worry, validation will make sure you have the path right.

access_key_id: XXXXXX
secret_access_key: XXXXXX

Option 2 - ENV variables

If you don't create secrets file, then environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY will be used.

Option 3 - IAM

If a secrets file is not present (option 1), there are no ENV variables (option 2), then request to AWS will fail (unless middleman-aws is used on EC2 instance with correct IAM role, then AWS will take care of authorising requests).

Step 4: Add the necessary s3_sync and Cloudfront sections to your config

See the sample config.rb for full configuration. Be sure to set the following variables:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration variables specific to each project
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
SITE_NAME                       = 'AlienFast Acme'
URL_ROOT                        = 'http://acme.alienfast.com'
AWS_BUCKET                      = 'acme.alienfast.com'
AWS_CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION_ID  = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'

Usage

Run the desired rake task. It's as simple as rake mm:publish in one step, or you can choose to do things one step at a time. See the available rake tasks below or run rake -T

Available Rake Tasks

rake mm:build        # Compile all files in the build directory
rake mm:clobber      # Remove all files in the build direcory
rake mm:deploy       # Deploy to S3 and invalidate Cloudfront after a Git commit/push
rake mm:serve        # Run the preview server at http://localhost:4567
rake mm:publish      # One step clobber, build, deploy
rake mm:show_config  # Show config
