Versioning #39

Closed btmdave closed 7 years ago

btmdave commented 9 years ago

Hello,

Are there any docs on how the versioning works?

Thank you

Unitech commented 9 years ago

We are going to do a real documentation at some point. But here is some doc about this feature: https://github.com/Unitech/PM2/blob/master/doc/PULL.md

If you have any suggestions, it's welcome!

Best!

Great, thanks. So, we deploy by pushing to a bare git repo and use a post-receive hook, which checks out into another directory. So pm2 is started from a directory that doesn't use git.

Is there another method of deployment you recommend when using pm2?

So far keymetrics is working great btw!

Unitech commented 9 years ago

Thanks for these kind words :) We work hard on it to provide a unique monitoring experience :)

When you do pm2 start app.js, it will use the folder of app.js to get versioning data (.git), is it ok for your usecase?

btmdave commented 9 years ago

The folder we do pm2 start app.js in, isn't a git repo. It's just a directory that another bare git repo has a post-receive hook, so for example that hook does this GIT_WORK_TREE=/var/www/AppFolder git checkout -f, which checkouts the files into a non-git directory.

I guess we could do this differently, by having just a single git repo..

@jorge-d what do you think?

Hi,

Well, the best way to enjoy the full capabilities of Keymetrics/PM2 would be to change your deployment process so that it uses the pm2 deploy feature.

However we could eventually work in the future on a feature that would allow checking a git repo into another folder before running the process / getting the metadata, maybe be an option in the ecosystem.json file. @Unitech ?

Hi, I have a question related to this issue. I have an app deployed on Heroku which uses PM2 as a module that programmatically starts my NodeJS app and communicates with keymetrics.io. I would like to enable the Versioning module of keymetrics.io but, as I know, it requires a .git repo in the folder of the app. Is there any way to programmatically specify the git repo to pull of? Thanks!
