Deploy Scripts

What variables do I have access to in the deploy script?

We set a handful of variables you can use to add additional functionality to your deploy script:

• $DIR - the app's main directory

• $RELEASE - the timestamp of the new deploy

• $BRANCH - the branch being deployed

• $RELEASE_DIR - the directory of the current deployment

• $WEB - boolean, true if running on a web server

• $CRON - boolean, true if running on the cron server

• $WORKER - boolean, true if running on a worker server

• $REVISION - the git revision that's being deployed

• $LOG_ID - the ID of the deployment log

How can I symlink another directory during deploy?

Add the following to your deploy script:

ln -s $DIR/shared/myfolder $RELEASE_DIR/myfolder

Keep in mind, you'll need to create myfolder on the server via SSH:

mkdir myapp/shared/myfolder

What directories are symlinked during the deploy automatically?

The following directories are automatically symlinked to the shared folder every deploy so that the contents are shared between releases.

• /log

• /tmp/pids

• /tmp/cache

• /tmp/sockets

• /vendor/bundle

• /public/system

• /public/uploads

• /public/assets

• /storage

What user is the deploy run as?

The deploy user.
