Deployment Examples ​

This page shows the complete pipeline for the most common official recipe combinations.

The core package only provides the base pipeline. A recipe or custom task must implement deploy:update_code.

git + adonisjs + pm2 ​

The repository is mirrored in .catapult/repo, cloned into the new release, then built on the server.

typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@catapultjs/deploy'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/adonisjs'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/git'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/pm2'

export default defineConfig({
  hosts: [
    {
      name: 'production',
      ssh: 'deploy@example.com',
      deployPath: '/home/deploy/myapp',
      branch: 'main',
    },
  ],
})
deploy:lock
git:check            → verifies the branch exists on the remote
git:update           → clones or fetches the bare mirror into .catapult/repo
deploy:release
deploy:update_code   → clones the requested branch into releases/<release>
deploy:install       → installs dependencies in the release
deploy:shared        → symlinks shared dirs/files into the release
deploy:build         → node ace build in the app directory
ace:migration:run    → node ace migration:run --force
deploy:publish       → current → releases/<release>
pm2:startOrReload    → pm2 startOrReload ecosystem.config.cjs --update-env
pm2:save             → pm2 save
deploy:log_revision
deploy:healthcheck   → if configured
deploy:unlock
deploy:cleanup

rsync + adonisjs + pm2 ​

Local files are synced into the new release with rsync, then the app is installed and built on the server.

typescript
import { defineConfig, set } from '@catapultjs/deploy'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/adonisjs'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/pm2'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/rsync'

set('rsync_source_path', './build')
set('rsync_excludes', ['.env'])

export default defineConfig({
  hosts: [
    {
      name: 'production',
      ssh: 'deploy@example.com',
      deployPath: '/home/deploy/myapp',
    },
  ],
})
deploy:lock
deploy:release
deploy:update_code   → rsync rsync_source_path/ → releases/<release>/
deploy:install       → installs dependencies in the release
deploy:shared        → symlinks shared dirs/files into the release
deploy:build         → node ace build in the app directory
ace:migration:run    → node ace migration:run --force
deploy:publish       → current → releases/<release>
pm2:startOrReload    → pm2 startOrReload ecosystem.config.cjs --update-env
pm2:save             → pm2 save
deploy:log_revision
deploy:healthcheck   → if configured
deploy:unlock
deploy:cleanup

astro ​

The Astro recipe builds locally, then uploads the generated directory to the release with SCP.

typescript
import { defineConfig, set } from '@catapultjs/deploy'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/astro'

set('astro_mode', 'production')

export default defineConfig({
  hosts: [
    {
      name: 'production',
      ssh: 'deploy@example.com',
      deployPath: '/home/deploy/myapp',
    },
  ],
})
deploy:build         → astro build --mode <astro_mode> on the local machine
deploy:lock
deploy:release
deploy:update_code   → upload(source_path) → releases/<release>
deploy:shared        → if configured
deploy:publish       → current → releases/<release>
deploy:log_revision
deploy:healthcheck   → if configured
deploy:unlock
deploy:cleanup

Notes ​

  • git requires branch on each host
  • rsync always syncs the contents of the configured source directory into the release and uses --delete
  • astro is intended for local-build workflows where the server only receives generated artifacts

astro + rsync ​

This combination is useful when you want the Astro recipe to keep the local build step, but prefer rsync instead of SCP for artifact transfer.

Import order matters:

  • import astro first so it registers deploy:build
  • import rsync after it so deploy:update_code is overridden by rsync
typescript
import { defineConfig, set } from '@catapultjs/deploy'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/astro'
import '@catapultjs/deploy/recipes/rsync'

set('source_path', './dist')
set('astro_mode', 'production')
set('rsync_excludes', ['.DS_Store'])

export default defineConfig({
  hosts: [
    {
      name: 'production',
      ssh: 'deploy@example.com',
      deployPath: '/home/deploy/myapp',
    },
  ],
})
deploy:build         → astro build --mode <astro_mode> on the local machine
deploy:lock
deploy:release
deploy:update_code   → rsync source_path/ → releases/<release>/
deploy:shared        → if configured
deploy:publish       → current → releases/<release>
deploy:log_revision
deploy:healthcheck   → if configured
deploy:unlock
deploy:cleanup

In practice, source_path is reused by rsync when rsync_source_path is not set, so the same ./dist output works for both recipes.
