Repos with Multiple Apps

Squash supports multiple applications within the same repository.

• You can test each app independently off its own virtual machine.
• You can also define custom PR comments with unique deployment links for each application.
• This works for apps based on Docker or without it (Squash YAML file based).

Example using Docker/docker-compose

The Squash YAML file sample below shows two separate applications with their own Docker files:

• CRM App: src/crm/Dockerfile
• Store App: src/store/docker-compose.yml

deployments:
  CRM:
    filename:
      ./src/crm/Dockerfile
    context_path:
      ./src
    vm_size:
      1GB
  Store:
    filename:
      ./src/store/docker-compose.yml
    context_path:
      ./src
    vm_size:
      1GB

The sample above will automatically generate two unique deployment URLs within a Squash PR comment, like this (assuming branch name is “js_lib_updates):

Example without Docker

The example below is very similar to the Docker one, except that the entire app build process for each app is defined in the Squash YAML file:

deployments:
  CRM:
    dockerimage:
      # This is the base OS image we want to use for this app
      ubuntu:14.04
    vm_size:
      2GB
    build_steps:
      # This is where we install all the essential packages needed
      - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update
      - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y 
      software-properties-common
      - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive add-apt-repository 
      ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
      - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y 
      python python-dev python3.5 python3.5-dev python-pip
        python-virtualenv libssl-dev libpq-dev git ssh 
        build-essential libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev
        locales gcc postgresql postgis postgresql-contrib 
        postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1 sudo supervisor
      - COPY . /code
      - cd /code
      - bash ./create_venv.sh
    launch_steps:
      # This is where we run the services and our app
      - service postgresql start
      - sleep 90
      - cd /code
      - /code/venv/bin/python /code/manage.py migrate
      - /code/venv/bin/python /code/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:3000
    port_forwarding:
      # Squash by default expects an HTTP service running on port 80.
      # For this example the HTTP service is listening to port 3000.
      80:3000
  Store:
    dockerimage: python:latest
    build_steps:
      - apt-get update && apt-get install -y libssl-dev libpq-dev git
      build-essential libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev curl
      - apt install -y nodejs
      - pip install setuptools pip --upgrade --force-reinstall
      - cd /code
      - pip install /code
      - python manage.py migrate
    launch_steps:
      - cd /myproject/mysite
      - python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
    vm_size:
      1GB

The PR comment for the example above will be the same as the one with Docker:
