Vue-storefront: One-click deployment to PaaS

[pkarw]

There is an idea to use the https://zeit.co/now#frequently-asked-questions to build a multi cloud hosting for VS

I imagine the process like:

• you're developing the VS locally,
• at some point enters the command like "vsf live",
• you need to provide the Magento2 auth keys,
• all other stuff is published by the "vsf" management tool automatically - like zeit now does for the general nodejs.apps

Does it make sense for you? I'm just curious. The node.js production deployments can be a little bit complicated for the newcomers, this is the reason I'm just wondering if it makes sense to make the process more straightforward.

We could also use google firebase. Its basically the same as zeit(as far as i can compare it), and its hosted by google.

Maybe something like this?

Deploy to Heroku is cool -> https://github.com/strapi/strapi

It sounds to me.

I think firebase is a great solution, there we have the native push notifications and all other stuff for progressive web apps.

OK, so the preferred option is with Heroku.

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-button
https://github.com/strapi/strapi -> here you have "Deploy to heroku" button included

Challenges:

1. We need to have both: vue-storefront and vue-storefront-api installed by one click
2. Both projects are using Redis and ElasticSearch local instalations - the good news is that we can switch to Heroku add-ons; ES 5.2+ is expected
3. Then we need to deal with the configs. By default, the installer.js script (https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront/blob/master/core/scripts/installer.js) is generating the conf/local.json.

We're using https://www.npmjs.com/package/config for config management - so the values can be overridden by ENV variables (https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Environment-Variables) - $ export NODE_CONFIG='{"Customer":{"dbConfig":{"host":"customerdb.prod"}}}'

1. The full procedure seems like: https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront/blob/311ffe34bb2f011962cce7c96c3c63160aa19aa8/core/scripts/installer.js#L473

Another option is Digital Ocean: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/one-click-apps/django/

Google Cloud Launcher is also another option: https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher

Im not sure how hard it is to get listed there

This project seems so powerful and cool.
Thinking of trying out vuestorefront for the next project.

Did anyone create such a build setup (one-click deployment on a paas)?
