Make a Debian/ubuntu package for envoy, with upstart scripts and all that

how to

1. build yourself some envoy

   make bin

2. make yourself a .deb package

   make package

3. verify it works

   make test

4. (optional) deploy to your private Bintray repo

   make release

Using packaged envoy

• install the package (dpkg -i, add it to an apt repo etc)
• create configuration file in /etc/default/envoy && /path/to/envoy.config.json (see ./package-context/envoy.conf)
• start it: sudo service envoy start

if you change configuration you can now do:

service envoy restart (or stop start etc)

Requirements and assumptions

• you need Docker to build and package envoy, OSX and Linux are both supported as hosts
• you need Vagrant to verify if it works (upstart is broken in ubuntu:14.04 image)
• envoy and package is built in and for Ubuntu 14.04
• upstart is the process manager

Releasing to https://bintray.com

1. Create an apt repo in Bintray
2. Add envoy package (name must be envoy!)
3. Set following env vars:
   • BINTRAY_USERNAME - your Bintray username
   • BINTRAY_API_KEY - your Bintray api key
   • BINTRAY_ORG - your Bintray org name or username
   • BINTRAY_APT_REPO - your Bintray APT repo name

TODO

• make sure it works
• add ulimit for upstart service definition
• make builds more customizable (Envoy sha/version)
• handle different distribution, different process manager etc
