Deploying applications

note

Deployment in de µRadiant uses npm to execute scripts, which means it needs to be installed for the deployment to work.

The expansion page of a project can have support to deploy your application. This is based on a package.json script, which is checked into the repository and provides the scripts to start and stop your application.

Docker deployment with nsInit​

caution

An installation of NS Scripting is required to execute the deployment scripts that are generated by the NS Initializer.

New applications created with nsInit v3.14.0+ have the option to create scripts to deploy the application to a docker container. Enable both docker and scripts to generate them.

A package.json file will be generated to execute the scripts.

Custom deployment scripts​

You can set up deployment scripts yourself by creating a package.json containing scripts for start, stop and optionally, update-ear:

{
  "scripts": {
    "my-local-deployment:update-ear": "...script to copy ear to deploy directory...",
    "my-local-deployment:start": "...script to start application...",
    "my-local-deployment:stop": "...script to stop application..."
  }
}
