Re: Today's meeting

[Michael McMahon]

Here is how the cronjob works on the jshelter.org server.

The cronjob is called from this file:

/etc/cron.d/update-jshelterstatic

BEGIN update-jshelterstatic

* * * * * webfiles timeout 5m /usr/local/bin/deploy_script.sh

END update-jshelterstatic

That file points to this script:

/usr/local/bin/deploy_script.sh

BEGIN deploy_script.sh

set -euo pipefail

SCR_NAME="$(basename "$0")"
PID="$(echo $$)"
if [ $(ps -ef | grep $SCR_NAME | grep -v -e su -e timeout -e grep -e 
$PID | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
  exit
fi

cd /home/webfiles/webextension/website/

git fetch -q &>/dev/null || git fetch
git pull -q &>/dev/null || git pull

make html &>/dev/null || make html

rsync -rc output/ /var/www/html/

END deploy_script.sh

Any changes manually pushed /var/www/html/ will get clobbered by the 
rsync every minute or so the /home/webfiles/webextension/website/ 
directory needs to be set to the branch that will be production. The 
current branch is set to main.

To change the production branch, we would run a variation of these commands:

ssh root@jshelter.org
su webfiles
cd ~/webextension/website/
git checkout branchname
exit
exit
