PM2 embed a simple and powerful deployment system with revision tracing. It's based on https://github.com/visionmedia/deploy

A step-by-step tutorial is available here : Deploy and Iterate faster with PM2 deploy

Getting started with deployment

Please read the Considerations to use PM2 deploy

1- Generate a sample ecosystem.json file that list processes and deployment environment

$ pm2 ecosystem

In the current folder a ecosystem.json file will be created. It contains this:

{
  "apps" : [{
    "name"      : "API",
    "script"    : "app.js",
    "env": {
      "COMMON_VARIABLE": "true"
    },
    "env_production" : {
      "NODE_ENV": "production"
    }
  },{
    "name"      : "WEB",
    "script"    : "web.js"
  }],
  "deploy" : {
    "production" : {
      "user" : "node",
      "host" : "212.83.163.1",
      "ref"  : "origin/master",
      "repo" : "[email protected]:repo.git",
      "path" : "/var/www/production",
      "post-deploy" : "pm2 startOrRestart ecosystem.json --env production"
    },
    "dev" : {
      "user" : "node",
      "host" : "212.83.163.1",
      "ref"  : "origin/master",
      "repo" : "[email protected]:repo.git",
      "path" : "/var/www/development",
      "post-deploy" : "pm2 startOrRestart ecosystem.json --env dev",
      "env"  : {
        "NODE_ENV": "dev"
      }
    }
  }
}

Edit the file according to your needs.

2- Be sure that you have the public ssh key on your local machine

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
$ ssh-copy-id [email protected]

3- Now initialize the remote folder with:

$ pm2 deploy <configuration_file> <environment> setup

E.g:

$ pm2 deploy ecosystem.json production setup

This command will create all the folders on your remote server.

4- Deploy your code

$ pm2 deploy ecosystem.json production

Now your code will be populated, installed and started with PM2

Deployment options

Display deploy help via pm2 deploy help:

$ pm2 deploy <configuration_file> <environment> <command>

  Commands:
    setup                run remote setup commands
    update               update deploy to the latest release
    revert [n]           revert to [n]th last deployment or 1
    curr[ent]            output current release commit
    prev[ious]           output previous release commit
    exec|run <cmd>       execute the given <cmd>
    list                 list previous deploy commits
    [ref]                deploy to [ref], the "ref" setting, or latest tag

命令

$ pm2 startOrRestart all.json            # Invoke restart on all apps in JSON
$ pm2 startOrReload all.json             # Invoke reload
$ pm2 startOrGracefulReload all.json     # Invoke gracefulReload

注意事项

• You might want to commit your node_modules folder (#622) or add the npm install command to the post-deploy section: "post-deploy" : "npm install && pm2 startOrRestart ecosystem.json --env production"
• Verify that your remote server has the permission to git clone the repository
• You can declare specific environment variable depending on the environment you want to deploy the code to. For instance to declare variables for the production environment, just add "env_production": {} and declare that variables.
• PM2 will look by default to ecosystem.json. So you can skip the options if it's the case
• You can embed the "apps" & "deploy" section in the package.json
• It deploys your code via ssh, you don't need any dependencies
• Process are initialized / started automatically depending on application name in ecosystem.json
• PM2-deploy repository is there: pm2-deploy
