WFVIW!?

What Fucking Version is Where!? Keeps track of what's deployed, and where.

Running

bundle install
bundle exec ruby wfviw.rb

A config.ru file is also included so it can be run via Rack.

The Database

By default an SQLite database named deployments.db will be created in the current directory. If you're not using SQLite you must add your DB lib to the Gemfile, remove sqlite3, and create the database yourself.

There are a couple of ways to specify a DB connection string.

Command Line

bundle exec ruby wfviw.rb  # use default DB
bundle exec ruby wfviw.rb 'postgres://sshaw@localhost/wfviw'

Environment Variable

Just set the DATABASE_URL environment variable.

DATABASE_URL='postgres://sshaw@localhost/wfviw' bundle exec ruby wfviw.rb

Adding Versions

Add something like following to your deployment script/hook/whatever:

curl -d 'environment=production&name=website&version=v0.2.1' http://localhost:4567/deploy

The following parameters are accepted

Required:

• environment
• name
• version

Optional:

• hostname
• deployed_by
