Avocado

Avocado is a deployment framework for web applications written in Ruby.

The current release is 0.6.1.

Licensing

Avocado is licensed under the GPLv2. For more Information have a look into the LICENSE file.

Getting started

Be sure that you have installed Ruby 2.0 or higher and RubyGems. Then the Installation is as easy as

After the installation completed successfully, you can run the avo command to access the Avocado command line utility.

Use Avocado in your project

In your project folder just run

$ avo install

to let Avocado place a deployment manifest file, called Avofile, in your project root folder. Then just open up the file in your editor of choice to customize your deployment process. The file is fully commented, giving you a basic understanding of how Avocado helps you to get your deployments done.

Avocado does currently only work if you use Git or Bazaar for as version control system and SSH to deploy. Furthermore, the only implemented authentication method for both SSH and Git/Bazaar is public key authentication.
