+**This is very early development software, you should expect to find issues, and things will change**
## Usage
+Basic usage: `deploy [options] <flake>`.
-- `nix run github:serokell/deploy-rs your-flake#node.profile`
-- `nix run github:serokell/deploy-rs your-flake#node`
+The given flake can be just a source `my-flake`, specify the node to deploy `my-flake#my-node`, or specify a profile too `my-flake#my-node.my-profile`.
+
+You can try out this tool easily with `nix run`:
- `nix run github:serokell/deploy-rs your-flake`
+If your require a signing key to push closures to your server, specify the path to it in the `LOCAL_KEY` environment variable.
+
+Check out `deploy --help` for CLI flags! Remember to check there before making one-time changes to things like hostnames.
+
## API
-Example Nix expressions/configurations are in the [examples folder](./examples).
+### Profile
+
+This is the core of how `deploy-rs` was designed, any number of these can run on a node, as any user (see further down for specifying user information). If you want to mimick the behaviour of traditional tools like NixOps or Morph, try just defining one `profile` called `system`, as root, containing a nixosSystem.
+
+```nix
+{
+ # ...generic options... (see below)
+
+ # The command to bootstrap your profile, this is optional
+ bootstrap = "mkdir xyz";
+
+ # A derivation containing your required software, and a script to activate it in `${path}/activate`
+ # For ease of use, `deploy-rs` provides a function to easy all this required activation script to any derivation
+ path = deploy-rs.lib.x86_64-linux.setActivate pkgs.hello "./bin/hello";
+}
+```
+
+### Node
+
+This defines a single node/server, and the profiles you intend it to run.
+
+```nix
+{
+ # ...generic options... (see below)
+
+ # The hostname of your server, don't worry, this can be overridden at runtime if needed
+ hostname = "my.server.gov";
+
+ # An optional list containing the order you want profiles to be deployed.
+ profilesOrder = [ "something" "system" ];
+
+ profiles = {
+ system = {}; # Definition shown above
+ something = {}; # Definition shown above
+ };
+}
+```
+
+### Deploy
+
+This is the top level attribute containing all of the options for this tool
+
+```nix
+{
+ # ...generic options... (see below)
+
+ nodes = {
+ my-node = {}; # Definition shown above
+ another-node = {}; # Definition shown above
+ };
+}
+```
+
+#### Generic options
+
+This is a set of options that can be put in any of the above definitions, with the priority being `profile > node > deploy`
+
+```nix
+{
+ sshUser = "admin"; # This is the user that deploy-rs will use when connecting
+ user = "root"; # This is the user that the profile will be deployed to (will use sudo if not the same as above)
+ sshOpts = [ "-p" "2121" ]; # These are arguments that will be passed to SSH
+ fastConnection = false; # Fast connection to the node. If this is true, copy the whole closure instead of letting the node substitute
+ autoRollback = true; # If the previous profile should be re-activated if activation fails
+}
+```
+
+A stronger definition of the schema is in the [interface directory](./interface), and full working examples Nix expressions/configurations are in the [examples folder](./examples).

## Things to work on
- ~~Ordered profiles~~
-- Automatic rollbacks if one profile on node failed to deploy (partially implemented)
+- ~~Automatic rollbacks~~
- UI (?)
+- automatic kexec lustration of servers (maybe)
+- Remote health checks
+- Rollback on reconnection failure (technically, rollback if not reconnected to)

-Values can be overridden for all the profiles deployed by setting environment variables with the same names as the profile, for example `sshUser=foobar nix run github:serokell/deploy .` will connect to all nodes as `foobar@<NODE>.hostname`.
