Deploying Meteor App Using Script

Question

How can we create the meteor deploying script. Currently we need to enter following command manually for deploying the app -

• Meteor login (After pressing the enter, It will ask username and password of galaxy server account)
• After login, We need to use command 'DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=galaxy.meteor.com meteor deploy *.meteorapp.com --settings localhost.com.json**' for deploying the app.

How to make simple shell script for above commands?

Answer 1

First, you should create meteor session file:

METEOR_SESSION_FILE=meteor-login.json meteor login

After successful login the meteor-login.json file will be created and it could be used later to deploy to the same account without the need to manually enter login/password.

Now, you can write sh script to deploy:

#!/bin/sh
METEOR_SESSION_FILE=meteor-login.json DEPLOY_HOSTNAME=galaxy.meteor.com meteor deploy <server> --settings <path-to-settings-file>

Don't forget to replace <server> and <path-to-settings-file> with actual values.
