Basic stage/production configuration

grunt.initConfig({

    deliver: {
        options: {

            // Protocol driver: lftp
            driver: 'lftp',

            // Project patterns: bower, composer, dev-node, git, github, ide, laravel, npm, phpunit, sass
            patterns: ['git', 'github', 'sass', 'bower', 'npm', 'dev-node', 'laravel'],

            // Authorisation key
            auth: 'main',

            // Default source path
            src: 'dist',

            // Default target path
            target: '/beta',

            // Default backup option
            backup: {
                enabled: false,
                stamp: 'yyyymmddHHMMss',
                keep: 4
            },

            // Project cache
            cache: ['tmp', 'app/storage/cache', 'app/storage/views', 'app/storage/twig'],

            // Connection settings
            upload: {
                connections: 10,
                parallel: 2
            },
            download: {
                connections: 20,
                parallel: 5
            },

            // Notification tasks
            notify: ['slack', 'hipchat'],

            // Message templates
            messages: {
                success: 'Delivery to "{target}" finished.',
                fail: 'Delivery to "{target}" failed.'
            }
        },

        // Example of stage target
        stage: {
            name: 'Stage',
            branch: 'develop',
            auth: 'stage',
            src: 'dev',
            target: '/beta'
        },

        // Example of production target
        production: {
            name: 'Production',
            branch: 'master',
            src: 'dist',
            target: '/www',
            backup: true
        }
    }

});

Ignore file

You can define which files or folders needs to be excluded in .deliver-ignore file.
Wildchars are supported. For folders use / suffix.

.deliver-ignore example:

.git/
node_modules/
temp/
.deliver-secret.yml
.gitignore

Secrets

Secret data are stored in .deliver-secret.yml file for local development only.
If you do put this filename to .gitignore!

.deliver-secret.yml example:

stage:
  host: [HOSTNAME]
  user: [USERNAME]
  password: [PASSWORD]

production:
  host: [HOSTNAME]
  user: [USERNAME]
  password: [PASSWORD]

Environment variables

For building with your production runners like Jenkins, etc. use environment variables and consider to keep passwords encrypted.

Task checks variables in this name format:
DELIVER_[TASK_TARGET]_(HOST|USER|PASSWORD);

Jenkins EnvInject plugin example:

DELIVER_STAGE_HOST=yourhost.com  
DELIVER_STAGE_USER=username

Store passwords in "password values" section.
