Export Procfile entries to Upstart jobs.

Y U no Foreman?

I'm aware of Foreman's exporting capabilities but I find them lacking for the following reasons:

  1. Templates have long stading issues. This could be solved with custom templates.
  2. Generated Upstart jobs are placed in the same folder. It would be nice to have a structure like the following:
   /etc/init
   ├── application
   │   ├── background-workers.conf
   │   └── web.conf
   └── application.conf

This makes it easy to delete the application's job entries and looks good. Specific processes could be started/stopped with <action> <application>/<process>. For example, start the job configured in /etc/init/application/web with start application/web.

  1. When jobs change their name or are removed, they are never deleted from /etc/init.

Procfile Upstart Exporter makes this possible.

Install

Procfile Upstart Exporter is a Ruby gem. Install it with gem install procfile-upstart-exporter.

Usage

Create Upstart jobs configuration

# procfile-upstart-exporter create                                            \
    --application <application>                                               \
    --procfile <path-to-procfile>                                             \
    --log <path-to-log>                                                       \
    --environment <path-to-dotenv-file>                                       \
    --user <user-to-run-job>                                                  \
    --path <path-where-upstart-jobs-will-be-created>                          \
    --verbose

Delete Upstart jobs configuration

# procfile-upstart-exporter destroy                                           \
    --application <application>                                               \
    --path <path-where-upstart-jobs-are-found>                                \
    --verbose
