Command-line Client for Deis

Deis Client

The Deis client is a Python CLI that issues API calls to a private Deis controller, providing a Heroku-inspired PaaS workflow.

What is Deis?

Deis is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy and scale LXC containers and Chef nodes used to host applications, databases, middleware and other services. Deis leverages Chef, Docker and Heroku Buildpacks to provide a private PaaS that is lightweight and flexible.

Deis comes with out-of-the-box support for Ruby, Python, Node.js, Java, Clojure, Scala, Play, PHP, Perl, Dart and Go. However, Deis can deploy anything using Heroku Buildpacks, Docker images or Chef recipes. Deis is designed to work with any cloud provider. Currently Amazon EC2, Rackspace, and DigitalOcean are supported.

Why Deis?

Deploy anything

Deploy a wide range of languages and frameworks with a simple git push using Heroku Buildpacks or (coming soon) Dockerfiles. Use custom Chef layers to deploy databases, middleware and other add-on services.

Control everything

Choose your hosting provider configuration. Define a formation with your own proxy and runtime layers. Retain full root access to every node. Manage your platform with a private Deis controller.

Scale effortlessly

Scale nodes and containers with a single command. Node provisioning, container balancing and proxy reconfiguration are completely automated.

100% Open Source

Free, transparent and easily customized. Join the open-source PaaS and DevOps community by using Deis and complimentary projects like Docker, Chef and Heroku Buildpacks.

Getting Started

Installing the Deis client using pip is simple:

$ pip install deis

pip will automatically install the following dependencies:

• docopt

• pyyaml

• requests

You should know the fully-qualified domain name of an existing Deis controller. To set up a Deis controller, see the Installation documentation.

Registration will discover SSH keys automatically and use environment variables to configure Amazon EC2, Rackspace, and DigitalOcean providers.

$ deis register http://my-deis-controller.fqdn
username: myuser
password:
password (confirm):
email: [e-mail]
Registered myuser
Logged in as myuser

Uploading /Users/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to Deis... done

Find an application you’d like to deploy, or clone an example app.

Change into the application directory and use deis formations:create to initialize a new formation in a specific cloud region. For example:

$ deis formations:create dev1 --flavor=rackspace-dfw

Use the deis nodes:scale command to provision nodes that will be dedicated to this formation.

Then create an application that references the formation.

$ cd <my-application-repo>
$ deis create --formation=dev1
Creating application... done, created nimbus-pamphlet
Git remote deis added

Use git push deis master to deploy your application.

Deis will automatically deploy Docker containers and configure Nginx proxies to route requests to your application.
