eggd is a git and foreman autodeploy daemon for Procfile apps on Amazon EC2 instances. It's written in Go and uses an interface to the Linux filesystem's inotify API to restart foreman when a git push is detected.

(Experimental, not for general use yet.)

You will need Go installed. Running

sudo apt-get install golang

suffices. To build and install eggd to /usr/local/bin:

git clone https://github.com/learningcurve/eggd.git
cd eggd && make && sudo make install

Set the variable $INSTALL to change the path.

TODO: upstart support.

1. In your project directory, make sure you have a Procfile in the root directory and a git remote set up to a bare repository on your EC2 instance.

2. On your EC2 instance, let eggd track your remote repository:

   eggd add /path/to/remote/repo.git
   

3. In your project repository, push your commits to your EC2 remote:

   git push your-remote your-branch
   

4. eggd will run the Procfile on your instance. Profit!

Currently tested on the Ubuntu Server 12.04 EC2 image.
