Post-Deploy Commands about dandelion HOT 6 CLOSED

I think this would be great too; obviously you couldn't do it if you were deploying via FTP.

I reckon keep it simple, just one entry in the config, a path to an executable script on the remote that will get fired after deploy.

@jamesmoss Yes, this would be awesome (I use SFTP so I'm all good). How would you set the script up so it could be executed by Dandelion, but not by visiting the script in the browser (if for example your script is a PHP script)? Is that possible with file permissions, or would you use some sort of auth token?

I'd recommend storing it outside of your web root (just like you should with any other PHP or sensitive files). This depends on how you've set up your server and dandelions config.

@jamesmoss Cheers, that would work. Will keep an eye on this :)

I think this is beyond the scope of Dandelion. If you need to run remote commands then you might think about running dandelion deploy as part of a larger deployment script:

#!/bin/bash
dandelion deploy
ssh my-server "make build"

Is there any advantage in having Dandelion run these remote commands?

@scttnlsn Hey Scott, thanks for replying. It was mostly to keep everything under one deploy command, but I do realize the need to keep Dandelion lightweight and simple. I actually ended up writing my own Bash script that handles all aspects of my deploy through a JSON config file (sort of inspired by Dandelion 😄 ).

I'll close this off for now. Cheers!
