Engine Yard Deployment
This page documents deployments using the next major version dpl v2, which currently is in a beta release phase. Please see our blog post for details. The current default version is dpl v1. Check dpl v1 documentation here.
Be sure to read the v2 deployment overview.
Travis CI can automatically deploy your Engine Yard application after a successful build.
For a minimal configuration, add the following to your .travis.yml
:
deploy:
provider: engineyard
api_key: <encrypted api_key>
edge: true # opt in to dpl v2
Alternatively, you can use email
and password
:
deploy:
provider: engineyard
email: <email>
password: <encrypted password>
The Engine Yard API token can be obtained here.
Status #
Support for deployments to Engineyard is in alpha. Please see Maturity Levels for details.

or email
and password
are required.

Shared options #

Environment variables #
All options can be given as environment variables if prefixed with ENGINEYARD_
or EY_
.
For example, api_key
can be given as
ENGINEYARD_API_KEY=<api_key>
orEY_API_KEY=<api_key>
Securing secrets #
Secret option values should be given as either encrypted strings in your build
configuration (.travis.yml
file) or environment variables in your repository
settings.
Environment variables can be set on the settings page of your repository, or
using travis env set
:
travis env set ENGINEYARD_API_KEY <api_key>
In order to encrypt option values when adding them to your .travis.yml
file
use travis encrypt
:
travis encrypt <api_key>
Or use --add
to directly add it to your .travis.yml
file. Note that this command has to be run in your repository’s root directory:
travis encrypt --add deploy.api_key <api_key>
Application or Environment to deploy #
By default, the application name will be inferred from your repository name.
You can explicitly set the name via the app option:
deploy:
provider: engineyard
# ⋮
app: <app-name>
Deploying branches to different apps or environments #
In order to choose apps or environments based on the current branch use separate deploy configurations:
deploy:
- provider: engineyard
# ⋮
env: production
on:
branch: master
- provider: engineyard
# ⋮
env: staging
on:
branch: staging
Or using YAML references:
deploy:
- &deploy
provider: engineyard
# ⋮
env: production
on:
branch: master
- <<: *deploy
env: staging
on:
branch: staging
Running migrations #
You can trigger migrations by using the migrate option:
deploy:
provider: engineyard
# ⋮
migrate: rake db:migrate
Pull Requests #
Note that pull request builds skip the deployment step altogether.
