Why to build this ptdeploy

In order to build for well-deployment, many files are needed to be copied from FTP or other ad hoc solutions. And also lot of Enterprise Automation tools were missing. In order to overcome these shortages ptdeploy under the pharaoh tool were build up. PHP has ptdeploy just as ruby fiils the gap in Capistrano.

This tool is for provisioning applications and builds to your boxes. The user can set up even simple or complex application deployment pattern to their system with one or two PHP files Or, quickly setup cloud friendly deployment patterns.

ptdeploy is modular. object oriented and extendible. So if the user requires any extra modules they can create and add the new modules based on their requirements.

This ptdeploy acts as a wrapper where all the steps of users deployment gets covered into a single file. This allows using a single command to fire up an instance of your applications.

Installation

Installing the ptdeploy can be done in two possible ways depending upon the availability and requirements of the users. They two ways of installing ptdeploy are:

  • Installing ptdeploy via ptconfigure
  • Installing the ptdeploy without depending on ptconfigure.

Installing ptdeploy via ptconfigure

If the user have the ptconfigure in their machine, then it is the simpler way to install ptdeploy by using the following command:

sudo ptconfigure ptdeploy install --yes --guess

Installing the ptdeploy without depending on ptconfigure

If the user wish to install the ptdeploy without depending and using the ptconfigure they can use the following command:

sudo apt-get install php5 git

git clone https://git.pharaoh-tools.com/phpengine/ptdeploy && sudo php ptdeploy/install-silent

or

The below command is predictable for the users who wish to specify the location during installation.

git clone https://git.pharaoh-tools.com/phpengine/ptdeploy && sudo php ptdeploy/install

Advanced features

Editing the host files, virtual host files, configuration files, database updates and more can all be automated using this.

By using the capability of remote server management, the users can automate deployments across infrastructure of any size.

The way how the ptdeploy promotes your project using dapperfy

The word dapperfy is a ptdeploy command that creates some autopilots for your project.

Using the dapperfy is very quick, and is probably the best starting point.

Capify Vs Dapperfy

When comparing the capify with dapperfy, it is obvious to say that the dapperfy is the best as it is written in PHP.

The strong point is that the dapperfy ptdeploy command provides the standard set of autopilots for the users projects. where the capify provides similar function to the Ruby project.
