Deploy-Info

• Deployment Notification Provider for RunDeck
• Pulls information potentially not readily available to RunDeck
• One simple POST from RunDeck instead of a script (NewRelic Deploys require a JSON POST)
• Maybe Eventually: Record last deployed revision locally and feed it back for consumption/display inside RunDeck

This project's initial purpose is/was to fire off NewRelic & Rollbar deployment notifications from RunDeck. It can be difficult to grab information such as a commit SHA when you may just be deploying a branch from RunDeck. This serves to fill that gap and ensure the revision field is populated appropriately, and it can also be utilized to keep your NewRelic API key out of visibility in the RunDeck console.

NOTE: This API should NOT be exposed to the world unless you plan to secure it with a reverse-proxy or something. It is intended to only be bound to localhost on the same server as RunDeck.

You'll likely want to run this as a service, SystemD or Upstart will likely be your friend in this regard.

You should lock down permissions on all configuration files in this project to only the user which this runs as...

To run this project securely, DON'T run it as the RunDeck user.

This leans on rack-cache to serve as a caching mechanism. The objective here was to make sure we don't pummel the Chef API with redundant queries.

• Timeout can be configured via the cache_timeout setting. Default: 30 seconds
