Bitbucket Pipelines - Deploy via FTP to shared hosting

bitbucket-pipelines.yml

# Installation ---
# 1. In Bitbucket, add FTP_USERNAME, FTP_PASSWORD and FTP_HOST as environment variables.
# 2. Commit this file (bitbucket-pipelines.yml) to your repo (in the repo root dir)
# 3. From Bitbucket Cloud > Commits > Commit Number > Run Pipeline > Custom:Init (this will
#    push everything and initialize GitFTP)
#
# Usage ---
# - On each commit to master branch, it'll push all files to the $FTP_HOST
# - You also have the option to 'init' (see 'Installation' above) - pushes everything and initialises
# - Finally you can also 'deploy-all' (from Bitbucket Cloud > Commits > Commit Number > Run Pipeline > Custom:deploy-all)
#   if multiple deploys fail, you can deploy everything to "catch up"

pipelines:
  custom: # Pipelines that are triggered manually via the Bitbucket GUI
    init: # -- First time init
    - step:
        caches:
          - node
          - composer
        script:
          - npm install
          - git ftp init -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST
    deploy-all: # -- Deploys all files from the selected commit
    - step:
        caches:
          - node
          - composer
        script:
          - npm install
          - git ftp push -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --all
  branches: # Automated triggers on commits to branches
    master: # -- When committing to master branch
    - step:
        deployment: production
        caches:
          - node
          - composer
        script:
          - npm install
          - git ftp push -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST

i also want to know this. also i'd like to know how to push to a specific ftp folder

For anyone else struggling with this, I put my env vars in the settings > deployments > production area. This meant that for the init to work correctly, I had to add the 'deployment: production' line to each of the steps that wanted access to those vars.

e.g

  custom: 
    init: 
    - step:
        deployment: production
        script:
          - git ftp init -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST
    deploy-all: 
    - step:
        deployment: production
        script:
          - git ftp push -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --all

Hope that saves anyone else some confusion.

If you need to deploy to a sub-directory (such as htdocs) include the full path as your ftp host.

Should be able to sync just a sub-folder as if it were root like this:

git ftp push --syncroot dist/ -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST

However, none of this is working for me. Bitbucket doesn't think git ftp exists:

+ git ftp push --syncroot as/ -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST
git: 'ftp' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Already fixed git: 'ftp' is not a git command. I had commented out image: aariacarterweir/lamp-gitftp:latest because it looked like specific to somebody else's environment stack, but it is needed.

This works awesomely! Thanks.

Question: If I put node_modules and public/dist on git ignore, i assume the git ftp push will ignore these folders, even if i do npm install and some npm run build.
Is there a way to force git ftp push to also push some ignored files or is there another workaround?

My approach would be to cache the ignored directories, then after install and build use some combination of find and basic ftp

Force the add on that folder and the commit it
script:
- npm install
- git add --force dist
- git commit -m "Build"
- git ftp push --syncroot dist -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST

This started failing last night, docker image no longer there, but execution was much faster than bitbuckets normal image

Hi @thorst - thanks for letting me know. I've setup a new Docker image and updated the script above.
Simply update the reference image to image: wearepvtl/bitbucket-pipelines-git-ftp:latest (from image: aariacarterweir/lamp-gitftp:latest)
