We like deployment tools, obviously. But we also think that version control systems rock! They not only make your life easier – they play a central role in continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment.
While FTP is still quite popular and a common way to transfer files between two computers, it has some serious disadvantages. So, let's try to look at alternatives and why an automated deployment tool is better than FTP – not just for freelancers, but also for small web agencies and for larger teams of developers.
Push, build, deploy – that's our motto. DeployBot helps freelancers and web agencies to create an efficient workflow. We've now released a little tool that makes manual deployment faster: Say hello to the new browser extension.
In this guest blog post we will show you how to setup a Node.js environment on a single Ubuntu 16.04 server.
Exciting news: DeployBot has a new Docker container with additional and updated development software, including the PHP Zip extension and the Yarn package manager.
Until recently, our team maintained two Ubuntu Docker containers. We have now published another container with the latest Ubuntu 18.04 with long term support. It comes with updated development software as well as new tools, taking into account your wishes and feature requests.
