Deploy your static site to S3.

Dystatic

Deploy your Jekyll/Nanoc/Blacksmith site to S3.

Features

• Only uploads new/changed files
• Deletes files no longer present locally
• Adds appropriate headers for gzipped files
• Cache control for static-static files

Installation

    git clone https://github.com/AlexanderEkdahl/dystatic.git
    cd dystatic
    gem build dystatic.gemspec
    gem install dystatic-0.1.0.gem

This gem is not on RubyGems yet because of the lack of tests.

Usage

1. Go to the folder containing the source of your static site

2. Create a file named _dystatic.yml containing:

    s3_id: YOUR_ACCESS_ID
    s3_secret: YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET
    s3_bucket: BUCKET_NAME
   

3. Run dystatic deploy and it will deploy all of the contents from _site/

##Additional features

###Using non-standard AWS regions

By default, dystatic uses the US Standard Region but can be changed by passing the s3_endpoint setting

For example, if your bucket is in EU, add s3_endpoint: s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com to _dystatic.yml

###Custom source directory

Add source: YOUR_FOLDER to _dystatic.yml or use dystatic deploy -s [DIR]

###Deploying from your current folder

  dystatic deploy -s . --s3_id YOUR_ACCESS_ID --s3_secret YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET --s3_bucket BUCKET_NAME

For more settings use dystatic -h

Known issues

• Gzipping files adds a timestamp. This timestamp may incorrectly lead dystatic into believing the file has changed. To fix this add the -n flag when gzipping.

TODO

• Push tests(they are currently using private data)
• Cloudfront invalidation
• dystatic.yml erb support
• Speed up etag retrieval aws/aws-sdk-ruby#84 with refinements
• Refactor out S3 specific code and add SSH implementation
• S3 Redirections
• Route53
• www bucket(maybe the www bucket is automatically configured to redirect the requests?)
• Links in output
• Hotlinking protection in policy
• Customize index and error document

##Refactor

setup if setup_required? (bucket exist, folder exist) upload/delete md5 remote.upload syntax?
