Deploy¶

Bazooka allows you to define your application deploy process by composing different tasks. Each task can be of a different type and have different options to allow you to customize your deploy.

Deploy task¶

The Deploy task is the most common task used in Bazooka. It will allow you to copy a nuget package in the specified directory to the specified machine (Agent).

This task will

copy the package in the specified golder on the target machine
extract its contents
search and apply an enviroment specific transform if present. (For example if we’re deploying to the Test enviroment and a web.Test.config file is present il will be considered and XDT transform and applied to the web.config file)
if a file named Install.ps1 is found it will be executed to complete the install

Note that if a package is already present it will first proceed to

execute a Uninstall.ps1 script if found
delete the existing package contents

before attempting to install the new version.

Mail task¶

The mail task is a task designed to send a mail to one or more recipients to warn them of a deploy. This task allows you to specify a mail Text, a sender, and one or more recipients separated by a semicolon.

Local script task¶

The local script task is simply a way to make the Controller xecute a Powershell script. the only parameters are the name of the task and the script to execute.

Remote script task¶

The remote script task is a variant of the local script task. In this case the script will be executed by a specific agent.

Database task¶

The last type of task is the Database task. This task will allow you to deploy a dacpac file contained in a package to a specified database. Once this task executes the specified package will be fetched, its contents will be searchd for a dacpac file then it will be applied to the specified database aligning its structure to the one specified in the dacpac file.

This task accepts the following parameters:

Name: The name of the task
ConnectionString: The connection string to the database to the deploy
Package: The name of the package containing your dacpac file
DatabaseName: The name of the database to deploy
Agent: The agent which will execute the deploy. Note that this agent must have suitable permissions to access and modify the database

Templated task¶

The most recent type of task added. By configuring a template for your task in the Configuration section or using one of the already defined ones you can specify the needed parameters to execute a task based on a task template.

You will have to specify the following parameters:

Name: The name of the task
Task: The task template to use
Package: The name of the package containing your application
Repository: The repository where the package can be found
Agent: The agent which will execute the deploy.

Along with all the parameters specified by the task template
