Procfile Upstart Exporter

Export Procfile entries to Upstart jobs.

I'm aware of Foreman's exporting capabilities but I find them lacking for the following reasons:

1. Templates have long stading issues. This could be solved with custom templates.

2. Generated Upstart jobs are placed in the same folder. It would be nice to have a structure like the following:

   /etc/init
   ├── application
   │   ├── background-workers.conf
   │   └── web.conf
   └── application.conf
   

   This makes it easy to delete the application's job entries and looks good. Specific processes could be started/stopped with <action> <application>/<process>. For example, start the job configured in /etc/init/application/web with start application/web.

3. When jobs change their name or are removed, they are never deleted from /etc/init.

Procfile Upstart Exporter makes this possible.

Procfile Upstart Exporter is a Ruby gem. Install it with gem install procfile-upstart-exporter.

# procfile-upstart-exporter create                                            \
    --application <application>                                               \
    --procfile <path-to-procfile>                                             \
    --log <path-to-log>                                                       \
    --environment <path-to-dotenv-file>                                       \
    --user <user-to-run-job>                                                  \
    --path <path-where-upstart-jobs-will-be-created>                          \
    --verbose

# procfile-upstart-exporter destroy                                           \
    --application <application>                                               \
    --path <path-where-upstart-jobs-are-found>                                \
    --verbose

• Add umask to Upstart template.

• Fix logging in job destruction.
• Only stop and destroy needed jobs.

• Warn if Procfile or .env don't exist.
• Treat properly spaces and comment lines in .env.

• First implementation of craete and destroy commands with basic functionality.

1. Update changelog.
2. Bump version.
3. Push tag with version. For example, v1.2.3.
4. Publish in RubyGems.
