Live Dev Porter
===============

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

Simplifies the management and transfer of assets between website environments.

**Visit [https://aklump.github.io/live\_dev\_porter](https://aklump.github.io/live_dev_porter) for full documentation.**

Install with Composer
---------------------

[](#install-with-composer)

1. This package requires some unpublished packages. You must add the following to *composer.json* in the `repositories` array:

    ```
    {
     "type": "composer",
     "url": "https://packages.intheloftstudios.com"
    }
    ```
2. Require this package:

    ```
    composer require aklump/live-dev-porter:^0.0

    ```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

2. Ensure execute permissions: `chmod u+x ./vendor/bin/ldp`
3. Initialize your project using `./vendor/bin/ldp init`
4. (To migrate from Loft Deploy jump below...)
5. Open *.live\_dev\_porter/config.yml* and modify as needed.
6. **Ensure *.live\_dev\_porter/config.local.yml* is ignored by your SCM!**
7. Open *.live\_dev\_porter/config.local.yml* and define the correct `local` and `remote` environment IDs as defined in *config.yml*.
8. Run `./vendor/bin/ldp configtest` and work through any failed tests.

### Migrating from Loft Deploy?

[](#migrating-from-loft-deploy)

1. `rm .live_dev_porter/config*`
2. `./vendor/bin/ldp config-migrate .loft_deploy`
3. Rewrite any hooks as processors.
4. Return to where you left off above.

### Optional Shorthand `ldp` instead of `./vendor/bin/ldp`

[](#optional-shorthand-ldp-instead-of-vendorbinldp)

#### Option A: `$PATH`

[](#option-a-path)

*This option has the advantage that any other composer binary in your project will be executable as well.*

1. Add */path/to/project/root/vendor/bin* to your `$PATH`.

*~/.bash\_profile*

```
PATH="/path/to/project/root/vendor/bin/ldp:$PATH"
```

#### Option B: alias

[](#option-b-alias)

*This option is singularly focused in terms of what it affects.*

*~/.bash\_profile*

1. Add an alias called ldp that points to */path/to/project/root/vendor/bin/ldp*.

```
alias ldp="/path/to/project/root/vendor/bin/ldp"
```

#### Both Options Continued

[](#both-options-continued)

2. Type `ldp` to test if it worked... you should see available commands
3. Now use `ldp` from anywhere within your project, instead of `./vendor/bin/ldp` from the root.
4. Don't worry if you have more than one project using *Live Dev Porter* because this alias will work for multiple projects as long as they use the same version, and usually even if the versions differ.

Quick Start Remote
------------------

[](#quick-start-remote)

1. Deploy your code to your remote server.
2. On the remote server type `./vendor/bin/ldp config -l`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The installation script above will generate the following structure where `.` is your repository root.

```
.
└── .live_dev_porter
│   ├── config.local.yml
│   └── config.yml
└── {public web root}

```

Configuration Files
-------------------

[](#configuration-files)

Refer to the file(s) for documentation about configuration options.

FilenameDescriptionVCS*.live\_dev\_porter/config.yml*Configuration shared across all server environments: prod, staging, devyes*.live\_dev\_porter/config.local.yml*Configuration overrides for a single environment; not version controlled.noUsage
