octopus-deploy

A set of node scripts to create releases within Octopus Deploy, and optionally deploy those releases. This package leverages the Octopus Deploy REST API:

https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/wiki

These scripts mimic the behavior of Octopus Deploy powershell CLI tools and enable calling octopus from a linux machine.

The primary purpose is to be able to call the scripts via the command line, but you could also use the module as a library.

npm install octopus-deploy

Library usage

This module uses bluebird promises as much as possible.

Setup client

const octopusApi = require('octopus-deploy')

const config = {
    host: 'https://octopus.acme.com',
    apiKey: 'API-123' // This is used to authorize against the REST API
}

octopusApi.init(config)

Commands

The same package version will be used for all deployment steps. This requires ALL the packages referenced by the deploy steps to have the same version.

Simple create release

const releaseParams = {
    projectSlugOrId: 'my-project-name',
    version: '1.0.0-rc.3',
    releaseNotes: 'Release notes for testing'
    packageVersion: '1.0.0'
}

// Create release
simpleCreateRelease(releaseParams)
    .then((release) => {
        console.log('Octopus release created:')
        console.log(release)
    }, (reason) => {
        console.log('Octopus release creation falied!')
        console.log(reason)
    })

Simple create release and deploy

const releaseParams = {
    projectSlugOrId: 'my-project-name',
    version: '1.0.0-rc.3',
    releaseNotes: 'Release notes for testing'
    packageVersion: '1.0.0'
}

const deployParams = {
    environmentName: 'DEV-SERVER'
    comments: 'Deploy releases-123 to DEVSERVER1'
    variables: {
        'SourceDir': '\\\\SOURCESERVER\\MyProject\\1.0.0-rc-3' // Form value example: source directory
    }
}

// Create and deploy release
simpleCreateReleaseAndDeploy(releaseParams, deployParams)
    .then((deployment) => {
        console.log('Octopus release created and deployed:')
        console.log(deployment)
    }, (reason) => {
        console.log('Octopus release creation or deployment falied!')
        console.log(reason)
    })

API

Create release

Selected packages for the deployment steps are specified more explicitly. For more information refer to this Octopus support issue.

const projectId = 'Projects-123'
const version = '1.0.0-rc.3'
const releaseNotes = 'Release notes for testing'
const selectedPackages = [
    {
        StepName: 'My octopus process first step',
        Version: '1.0.0.0'
    },
    {
        StepName: 'My octopus process second step',
        Version: '1.0.2-rc.1'
    }
]

octopusApi.releases.create(projectId, version, releaseNotes, selectedPackages)
    .then((release) => {
        console.log('Octopus release created:')
        console.log(release)
    }, (reason) => {
        console.log('Octopus release creation falied!')
        console.log(reason)
    })
