server-script

Atom editor package to sync files and/or run a script on the server

Sync files (Optional)

You can sync local changed files to a server by using an Atom command and/or sync on every save.

Run script on server (Optional)

Write and edit a script on the local machine with Atom and then run the script on a server using an Atom command and/or run it on every save. You will be able to move existing server scripts to a local project folder and then run them on any server without putting the script on the server.

Install

Run apm install server-script on the command line or use the settings page.

There is no need to install anything on the server.

Your local machine must have rsync installed. Your local machine and the server must have ssh running. Test that SSH works by executing ssh myUser@myServer.com ls on the command line. If you need a password to access the server use ssh myUser:myPwd@myServer.com ls.

Usage

• Load a project
• Run the Atom command server-script:run. The keybinding ctrl-alt-shift-R is provided as a default.
• A notification will pop up to tell you the folder .server-script was created in the root of your project. Note that each project will have its own folder.
• At this point nothing will happen on execution of the server-script:run command or when saving. You must set up the config file first.
• After configuring, the server-script will be immediately active. Note that all server operations are run in the background. So even though the commands in the console may appear slow nothing is blocking. You may go back to editing with no delay.
• Any changes to the configuration are immediately applied.

Contents Of The .server-script Folder

• .gitignore: This is a local version of a .gitignore file. It contains one entry to block the commit of the file secrets.cson which contains sensitive login information.

• secrets.cson: Server login information. This doesn't need to be set up if you are using SSH key files and the local user is the same as the user on the server. See the file for instructions.

• setup.cson: General configuation for the server connection and options.

• build.sh: A script file to run on the server. Initially this script just contains an echo command so that this package can be easily tested. Later you can put your own build script in. Or you can rename or replace this file and put its name in the config file.

Config File Setup (setup.cson)

• server:

  • location: Server address such as example.com or 192.168.0.1
  • projectRoot: Path on server to the project root such as ~/my-app

• options:

  • syncChangedFiles: On every server-script run command and/or when saving, sync local project directory with remote. Default is no
  • scriptOnRun: A script to run on the server when server-script:run is executed. If this is blank then nothing is run. Default is build.sh.
  • scriptOnSave: A script to run on the server on every file save. If this is blank then nothing is run on save. Default is blank.
  • useGitignore: Enable to avoid syncing files to the server that are ignored in the .gitignore file. Default is yes.
  • logToConsole: When enabled, all commands are logged to the dev console in Atom. Also the stdout and stderr of the script run on the server is shown. Default is yes.
