So you've engineered that amazing Java-based application. Then what? Distributing it or getting it into production is your new problem. Fat/uber jar? Vagrant? Docker? Rkt? LXD? Traditional bare metal deploy? There are so many options!
Stork is a collection of lightweight utilities for optimizing your "after-build" workflow by filling in the gap between your Java build system and execution. Using well-tested methods across operating systems, containers, etc. Stork will let you safely and securely run your app in any environment -- be it Docker, Rkt, LXD, or traditional systems. There are 3 main Stork components that you can pick and choose from to help with your app:
-
stork-launcher will generate well-tested, rock solid, secure launcher scripts from a yaml configuration file for either console or daemon/service JVM apps. The generated launchers will run your app the same way regardless of whether running within a container or numerous different operating systems.
-
stork-assembly will assemble your JVM app into a standard, well-defined canonical layout as a tarball ready for universal distribution or deployment. Regardless of whether your user is on Linux, Windows, OSX, *BSD, etc., our tarball will include everything for your user to be happy.
-
stork-deploy will rapidly and securely deploy your assembly via SSH into a versioned directory structure to various operating systems. It will handle restarting daemons, use strict user/group permissions, and verify the deploy worked. Power users can combine with Blaze for even more advanced deploys.
