Resr

A ridiculously simple way of managing soft-ownership of staging servers using Slack and channel topics for state.

Installation

$ gem install resr

Setup

Generate a legacy token in Slack

Visit the Slack Legacy tokens page and generate a token for your Workspace/User.

Configure resr

Copy the following to ~/.resr.yml, and add the token that was generated in the previous section.

slack_token: 'YOUR_LEGACY_SLACK_TOKEN'

channels:
  dev-deploy-io:         # Your Slack channel that manages state
    io: ':flag-io:'      # Mapping between the server console name and how
    cat: ':cat2:'        # it is represented in Slack. In this case,
    dog: ':trashdog:'    # as emoji.

  dev-deploys:
    prod: ':cat2:'
    canary: ':canary:'

Usage

Commands:
  resr --version, -v       # Display the current version
  resr free SERVER         # Free/release ownership of the SERVER
  resr help [COMMAND]      # Describe available commands or one specific command
  resr list                # List all servers and who owns them
  resr take SERVER [DESC]  # Take ownership of the SERVER and set an optional description

The command options free, list, and take are aliased as f, l, and t respectively.
