PlaceOS Frontend Loader

An application Intended to be a sidecar to a webserver that listens for published front-end repositories and clones them to the webserver's static folder. The loader can also be configured to update via a CRON.

Included in this repo is an alpine based Dockerfile.

Usage

• Specify the your static content path via the PLACE_LOADER_WWW environment variable, or the --www flag.

• Ensure that the content directory is on a shared volume with the webserver.

• A repository pinned to HEAD will be kept up to date automatically.

• If a repository commit is specified it will held at that commit.

• Configuring the update frequency is done via a CRON in PLACE_LOADER_CRON environment variable, or the --update-cron flag. Use crontab guru to validate your CRONs!!!

Client

Included is a simple client that can be configured via the PLACE_LOADER_URI environment variable.

require "placeos-frontend-loader/client"

# One-shot
commits = PlaceOS::FrontendLoader::Client.client do |client|
    client.commits("backoffice")
end

commits # => ["fac3caf3", ...]

# Instance
client = PlaceOS::Frontends::Client.new
client.commits("backoffice") # => ["fac3caf3", ...]
client.loaded # => {"backoffice" => "fac3caf3"...}
client.close
