Microbus van Microbus

Build Status

Takes a Ruby project and quickly turns it into a small tarball or package suitable for deployment to Linux servers.

Dependencies

  • Docker installed and running.
  • A Dockerfile to create a build environment (default: ./docker/Dockerfile).
  • A Ruby project with a .gemspec and Gemfile.
    • NOTE: What is deployed is defined in your gemspec. Make sure spec.files, spec.bindir and spec.executables are correct and complete.

Usage

Microbus provides rake tasks, which may be configured. For example, to create Microbus' tasks as the build namespace, add the following to your Rakefile:

require 'microbus/rake_task'

Microbus::RakeTask.new(:build) do |opts|
  opts.type = :deb
  opts.arch = 'x86_64'
  opts.deployment_path = "/opt/myorg/#{opts.gem_helper.gemspec.name}"
  opts.smoke_test_cmd = 'myapp --help'
end

To build, run this in your project's directory:

rake build

To cleanup, run this in your project's directory:

rake build:cleanup

Inspiration

Microbus is a play on Omnibus with the intention of being simpler and faster because it creates small tarballs for configured Linux servers (rather than multi-platform, multi-purpose tools). Microbus doesn't support arbitrary build environments (VMs), only supports Linux as a target and doesn't include a Ruby interpreter in it's builds.

Development

bundle install
rake

To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
