Easy deployment tool for Python application. There are mainly two parts:

• Create a virtual environment (Optional).
• Install your application as a service.

Deploy your application with one command!

It's recommended that you install this package in the Global Python Environment.

pip install ezd

On Windows, be careful if you want to uninstall this package. Make sure all services created with this tool are removed.

Run ezd init to create a config file named deploy.json.

{
  "env": {
    "name": "venv"
  },
  "service": {
    "name": "",
    "cmd": [],
    "display": "",
    "description": ""
  }
}

A list of full parameters:

Run ezd -h to see all commands.

usage: ezd [-h] command

positional arguments:
  command     Command <init|deploy|install|uninstall|start|stop>

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Available commands:

If you need to upgrade or install packages, just edit the requirements.txt file and follow the steps below:

1. Stop the service

   ezd stop

2. Deploy new packages

   ezd deploy

3. Start the service

   ezd start

If you update the service settings of the config file, you must uninstall the old service first.

1. Uninstall the service

   ezd uninstall

2. Install service

   ezd install

3. Start the service

   ezd start

Create a new nb directory and start working in it.

cd nb
echo notebook > requirements.txt
ezd init

The deploy.json file looks like this:

{
  "env": {
    "name": "venv"
  },
  "service": {
    "name": "notebook",
    "cmd": [
      "jupyter-notebook.exe"
    ],
    "display": "Jupyter Notebook",
    "description": "Jupyter Notebook Service"
  }
}

We are ready to deploy now.

ezd install
ezd start

You can now visit http://localhost:8888/ to confirm jupyter notebook is running.

Create a new pingtest directory and start working in it.

cd pingtest
ezd init

For non-python project, we can omit virtual environment since we don't need it. The deploy.json file looks like this:

{
  "service": {
    "name": "pingtest",
    "cmd": [
      "ping",
      "-t",
      "1.1.1.1"
    ],
    "display": "Ping it",
    "description": "A ping test service"
  }
}

Deploy now!

ezd install
ezd start

Let's confirm ping is running:

$ tasklist | findstr PING
PING.EXE                     19564 Services                   0      4,540 K
