This is where the code for the public https://fleetdm.com website lives.
To report a bug or make a suggestion for the website, click here.
Run the following commands to test the site locally:
npm install -g sails
cd website/
npm install
sails run scripts/build-static-content.js
sails lift
Your local copy of the website is now running at http://localhost:2024!
To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main
branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.
Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what
sails run
andnpm run
commands in there do, check the scripts inwebsite/package.json
and inwebsite/scripts/
.
To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data
). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.
Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.
Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping. Read more in fleetdm#6568 (comment)
I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:
sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe
