Welcome to MeerPush.

MeerPush is a fast and effective way to deploy websites to IIS with built-in support for IIS6 and IIS7.

• NOTE: MeerPush takes full advantage of IronRuby, allowing a flexible ruby dsl while using the power of the .NET framework to deploy the sites.*

How To Install MeerPush From Gemcutter Gems:

If you would like to install the current, stable release of MeerPush, you can do so easily through the Gemcutter gem server.

Follow these simple instructions and you will be good to go.

Step 1: Setup Gemcutter as a gem source

gem source -a http://gemcutter.org

(note: you only need to do this once for any given computer that is going to install gems from gemcutter.)

Step 2: Install the MeerPush gem

igem install meerpush

Examples

MeerPush currently has two different ways

Rake

require 'meerpush'

task :deploy => [:delete, :create, :start]

desc "Delete Website"
delete_site :delete do |w|
    w.name = 'Meerpush_Website'
end

desc "Create Website"
create_site :create => :delete do |w|
    w.name = 'Meerpush_Website'
    w.home = 'C:inetpubwwwroot'
end

desc "Start Website"
start_site :start do |w|
    w.name = 'Meerpush_Website'
end
