Deploying to Meteor with Codeship.io

Project structure

You'll need to use a subdirectory within your git repo for the Meteor project. This allows you to clone Meteor into your repo without it trying to deploy itself. If you find a better way, please let me know.

Provide the name of the subdirectory to the deploy script with the SUBDIRECTORY environment variable.

Create a Codeship project

You can do that here. Connect it to your GitHub repo.

Configure Environment

Add these variables in the "Environment" section:

SUBDIRECTORY = yourapp [see project structure above]
METEOR_USERNAME = ...
METEOR_PASSWORD = ...
METEOR_TARGET = yourapp.meteor.com [or www.yourapp.com]

Add Script

Under the "Deployment" section, add this script:

expect -c "set timeout 600; spawn git clone -b release/$(cat $SUBDIRECTORY/.meteor/release) https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git --depth 1; expect eof; spawn meteor/meteor login; expect Username:; send $METEOR_USERNAME; expect Password:; send $METEOR_PASSWORD; expect eof; cd $SUBDIRECTORY; spawn ../meteor/meteor deploy $METEOR_TARGET; expect eof }"

You should NOT include newlines, but here it is expanded:

# DON'T INCLUDE NEWLINES, USE THE VERSION ABOVE!

expect -c " 
  set timeout 600;
  spawn git clone \
      -b release/$(cat $SUBDIRECTORY/.meteor/release) \
      https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git \
      --depth 1;
  expect eof;
  spawn meteor/meteor login;
  expect Username:;
  send $METEOR_USERNAME;
  expect Password:;
  send $METEOR_PASSWORD;
  expect eof;
  cd $SUBDIRECTORY;
  spawn ../meteor/meteor deploy $METEOR_TARGET;
  expect eof
}"

Push to GitHub

Push changes to your GitHub repo, and Codeship will deploy them automatically with Meteor!
