deployfilegen 0.1.29

A production-grade CLI tool to generate deployment configuration files for Django/React projects.

deployfilegen

deployfilegen is a production-grade Python CLI library designed to automatically generate infrastructure-as-code for full-stack applications (Django + React/Next.js/Vite).

It automates the creation of Dockerfiles, docker-compose.yml, and GitHub Actions workflows, using secure, battle-tested defaults.

🚀 Key Features (v0.1.28+)

• Zero-Config Dev Mode: Works with any existing .env file. No forced variable naming.
• Smart Framework Detection: Automatically detects Vite (port 5173), Next.js (port 3000), or Create React App.
• Production-Grade Defaults:
  • Security: Non-root users, unprivileged Nginx.
  • Reliability: Healthchecks, depends_on, and race-condition prevention.
  • Optimization: Multi-stage builds, .dockerignore generation, layer caching.
• Environment Agnostic: Reads defaults from your .env (root, backend/, or frontend/).

📦 Quick Start

1. Install

pip install deployfilegen

2. Local Development (Zero Config)

Just run this in your project root. It detects your setup and generates a working local dev environment.

deployfilegen init --mode dev

Then start your app:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build

What you get:

• backend/Dockerfile (Hot-reload enabled)
• frontend/Dockerfile (Hot-reload enabled, correct port detected)
• docker-compose.dev.yml (Binds to your local .env)

3. Production Deployment

generate hardened artifacts for deployment.

deployfilegen init --mode prod

What you get:

• backend/Dockerfile (Optimized, Gunicorn, Static files)
• frontend/Dockerfile (Nginx, Multi-stage build)
• docker-compose.prod.yml (Restart policies, Healthchecks)
• .github/workflows/deploy.yml (CI/CD pipeline)

🛠 Supported Stacks

Backend:

• Django: Auto-detects project name from manage.py.
• Python: Uses 3.11-slim by default.

Frontend:

• Vite: Auto-configures port 5173 and host binding.
• Next.js: Auto-configures port 3000 and standalone build.
• Create React App: Auto-configures port 3000.

⚙️ Configuration

.env File

For Dev Mode, you just need a .env file. The tool respects whatever variables you have.

For Production Mode, you need these variables to generate the CI/CD workflow:

# Container Registry
DOCKER_USERNAME=your_username
BACKEND_IMAGE_NAME=your_repo/backend
FRONTEND_IMAGE_NAME=your_repo/frontend

# Deployment Server (SSH)
DEPLOY_HOST=1.2.3.4
DEPLOY_USER=ubuntu

You can generate a template with:

deployfilegen template
