This is a very simple web server that can be used to automate your deployments from Github repositories using command lines, or Ansible.

Basically you merge a branch like this and a deployment kicks in. Check this video

Then, Slack notifies you about the progress like in this Video.

Basically, go to your repository and add a webhook. Configure it enabling the following individual elements:

• Deployment status
• Deployment
• Pull Request

NOTE: it's important to add a secret to protect your deployments. Don't use something easy.

NOTE2: you'll need a Github OAuth token. Create one from your settings page, and give it only deployments permissions. Paste it in the variable TOKEN in the config file.

Copy the config.py.template and rename to config.py. Add your own values.

for debian based systems

sudo apt-get install python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev

You can add as many commands as you want. Just, add a new list, and you will be done. The commands are executed one after another.

To use ansible, you only need to take a look to the ansible template. Basically add hosts to your inventary (each repository can have its own), and specify which playbook has to be used for doing the deployment.

The server has a Slack integration, so you can receive notifications in your Slack channel. Just create a channel, add an incoming webhook integration, and paste the URL in the config file section SLACK_WEBHOOK.

If you want, you can force the server to wait for a deployment until i.e. Travis-CI has a success status. This is configured via required_contexts in the config file. For example:

    required_contexts = ['continuous-integration/travis-ci']
