A bash script for generating and deploying static websites on Amazon Cloudfront.
Why this stuff?
Deploying a static website (blogs are probably the best suited) on a CDN will give you tremendous amounts of speed from all around the world compared to a dynamic host for a relatively cheap price.
Requisites
Right now HipstaDeploy expects you to have installed s3_website:
gem install s3_website
Installation
Just run this command if you wanna do a quick Hipstallation:
curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/proudlygeek/9551019ff48053ae5bf3/raw/install.sh | sh
This will download the bash script into /usr/local/bin, so check if is in your env PATH var.
You can check your installation by typing:
hipdep -h
If you prefer the Good Old Ways you can just clone this repository and run:
./deploy.sh
Usage
On the first run you'll have to create file named 's3_website.yml' with this command:
s3_website cfg create
Edit this file with your AWS Credentials:
s3_id: YOUR_AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
s3_secret: YOUR_AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
s3_bucket: your.blog.bucket.com
Create a configuration Hipstafile and set your values:
{
"site_url": "http://localhost:2368",
"output_folder": "_site",
"publish_url": ""
}
Now just fire up HipstaDeploy with:
hipdep
HipstaDeploy will ask you if you want to deploy your static folder to Amazon CloudFront, say Y to rock on!
Your static files will be generated from URL http//localhost:2368 (yes, that's a Ghost blog) and will be saved in a folder named _site.
You can override this behavior by using the -u and -o flags:
hipdep -u http://blog.local:8080 -o static_file
You can also specifiy your publish URL, which is used for RSS via the -r flag:
hipdep -r blog.site.com
