Deploying Into Pagely Using DeployBot in 4 Simple Steps

Since you learned about the perks of using DeployBot as a deployment solution, it’s time to dive into the complete guide. Follow the complete guide from step 1 if you're a beginner. For those who are looking for a guide to server integration, check out step 4.

Step 1: Register into DeployBot

To deploy into Pagely using DeployBot, you have to create an account signing up with your name and email. After filling out the fields, press the “Create an account” button.

Step 2: Configure repository connection with DeployBot 

After signing up for DeployBot, you have to set up a repository. Hit the first option, “Connect a repository” button, to add a repo. 

Now, select a repo from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or others. For example, here, we're opting for Bitbucket and pressing the “Connect an account” button.

This step will send a message stating that you need to grant access to DeployBot to connect with Bitbucket by hitting the “Grant access” button.

After that, you need to select a repo and enter the Title and Color label for that repo. Then, press the “Connect” button. Thus, your repository will be connected with DeployBot.

Step 3: Set up an Environment

In this step, you need to build an environment for deployment. Press the “Create an environment” button to access the environment configuration page.

Now, you will be redirected to a page where you need to fill out different fields to set up the Deployment environment configuration successfully. 

For example, enter the Name and Color label for general settings. And for deployment mode, you will get two options such as:

• Manual: It indicates a deployment system that requires manual command to initiate deployment, which is best for the production environment.
• Automatic: DeployBot also supports automatic deployment for Pagely or other servers. It's handy for staging or development environments.

For staging, select Automatic Deployment System. Then, choose the same branch you have created in Bitbucket for deployment. After selecting that branch, press the “Save” button.

Step 4: Connect Pagely with DeployBot via SFTP

After setting up the environment, you must connect Pagely with DeployBot using SFTP credentials. Navigate to “Server & Settings” to build a connection between Pagely and DeployBot. This will redirect you to the tab assigned to the server configuration. Select SFTP from here. 

After selecting SFTP, you will be redirected to the server settings where you must fill the name field with the Server name. 

Enter Pagely VPS's hostname or domain in the host field and enter 22 for the Port.

Then, enter the SFTP/SSH username in the Username field. Also, keep the Password field blank since we're using the public key for authentication. 

Next, right-click the “Use public key for authentication” option.

Now, hit the “Show the commands to add our public key to your server” option to view and download the public key.

Now, press the “download the public key itself” to download it. After downloading it, add it to the SSH tab of Pagely.

Now, enter the SSH key in the “Add a Public Key” field and press the “Add Public Key” button to get connected with Pagely.

Check out the SSH key to Atomic documentation for a detailed guide to add the downloaded SSH key in Pagely.

After adding the SSH key within Atomic, press the “Connect” button to complete the General settings configuration.

Now, set the ‘Destination path’ to which you want your repository's file to be deployed. Click the “File browser” button to get the destination path.

After entering the destination path, press the “Write test” to connect the server. 

Finally, press the “Save” button to wrap up Pagely, the best enterprise WordPress hosting provider’s configuration with DeployBot.
