maestro

maestro is a flexible tool for running repetitive command line tasks. Its core use case is to spin up all the services/servers for a development environment. The current implementation works at the level of one GitHub repo with a maestro.yml defining all services. maestro is designed for OSX but I may add cross-platform capabilities.

Installation

I will eventually make this an npm package. For now use these instructions to install:

• clone the repository
• go to repository directory
• run chmod +x bin/maestro
• run npm link

Usage

Run maestro by specifying the (folder)name of the a github repository.

maestro -g my-repo

maestro expects the github repository to contain a maestro.yml file. The yml file defines services, each of which has a command and location, and which may specify whether to run the command in a new terminal window. For example:

services:
  webpack-dev-server: 
    command: node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server --config ./config/webpack/development.js
    terminalWindow: true

  rails-server: 
    command: rails s
    terminalWindow: true

  redis-server:
    command: redis-server
    terminalWindow: true

  sidekiq:
    command: bundle exec sidekiq -t 25 -c 2 -q default -q mailers
    terminalWindow: true

  goToDirectory:
    command: bash
    terminalWindow: true
