Properties

actions object

A collection of commands to run via ops. If the first argument to ops is not a builtin, ops will look for an action with that name.

For more information, see the Actions documentation on GitHub.

Default:
{
  "<action>": {
    "command": "<command>"
  }
}
dependencies object

Dependencies listed in the dependencies section of ops.yml are satisfied when the ops up command is run. Some dependencies will be un-satisfied when you run ops down; e.g. services will be stopped, but packages won't be uninstalled.

This feature allows developers that are new to a project to get up and running without knowing anything about the app itself. Your ops.yml should allow a developer to ops up && ops start to run an application.

For more information, see the Dependencies documentation on GitHub.

apk PackageVersioned[]

apt PackageVersioned[]
minItems=1uniqueItems=true
brew PackageBrew[]
  • Specifies that a particular brew package is needed.
  • Will only run if you're on a Mac.

cask PackageBrew[]
  • Specifies that a particular brew cask package is needed.
  • Will only run if you're on a Mac.
minItems=1uniqueItems=true
custom string[]
  • Runs the given command.
  • Can't tell if the command needs to be run or not, so always runs it on ops up.
  • Therefore, the command should be idempotent.
  • It's also a good idea to prevent it from printing output unless it encounters an error, to keep the ops output clean.
Examples: ["bundle install --quiet"]

hooks object

Sometimes you want to run a command before other commands. Some examples:

  • You have a number of ops commands that let a developer run different test suites inside a container, and you want to make sure the container image is built beforehand.
  • You have some configuration that needs to happen when the software execution environment changes (e.g. going from dev to staging).

In this case, you can use the hooks feature.

For more information, see the Hooks documentation on GitHub.

1 nested properties
before CommandString[]

A series of hooks that run before actions. They do not run before builtins like up or exec.

before hooks are always executed before secrets are loaded. If you would like a before hook to have access to secrets, create an action with load_secrets: true and call the action from a before hook.

minItems=1
options object

Options allow the user to change some aspects of ops behaviour.

For more information, see the Options documentation on GitHub.

9 nested properties
apt object

Affect the behaviour of apt dependencies.

Default:
{
  "use_sudo": false
}
1 nested properties
use_sudo boolean

If false, causes ops up to install the dependency's packages without sudo.

Default: true
background object

Affect the behaviour of the background builtin.

Default:
{
  "log_filename": "app.log",
  "shell": "/bin/sh"
}
3 nested properties
log_filename string
Default: "myfile.txt"
minLength=1pattern=^(?!.{256,})(?!(aux|clock\$|con|nul|prn|com[1-9]|lpt[1-9])(?:$|\.))[^ ][ \.\w\-$()+=\[\];#@~,&']+[^\. ]$
log_file_prefix
shell
config object

Affect how configs are interpreted.

1 nested properties
path string
format=uri-reference
environment object

Statically or dynamically set global environment variables, with each key serving as a variable's name.

NOTE: The values of these variables are not interpreted by the shell before being set, so variable references like $environment will appear literally in the value of the variable.

Default:
{
  "PATH": "./bin:${PATH}"
}
environment_aliases NameString[]

Different software systems use different environment variables to determine the software execution environment. E.g. Ruby on Rails uses RAILS_ENV. Thus, ops allows the user to specify which variables should also be set to the name of the software environment.

If any environment_aliases are specified in ops.yml, ops will not change the value of $environment unless it is listed as well.

NOTE: ops will always use $environment to detect the software execution environment; environment_aliases just makes ops set other variables to match it.

Examples: ["RAILS_ENV","RACK_ENV"]
minItems=1uniqueItems=true
exec object

Affect the behaviour of ops exec.

1 nested properties
load_secrets boolean

If true, items in secrets.ejson will be loaded before execution, allowing said items to be referenced in the configuration.

Default: false
gem object

Affect the behaviour of gem dependencies.

Default:
{
  "user_install": true,
  "use_sudo": false
}
2 nested properties
user_install boolean

If true, causes ops up to run gem install --user-install ejson.

Default: false
use_sudo boolean

If false, causes ops up to install the dependency's packages without sudo.

Default: true
secrets object

Affect how secrets are interpreted.

1 nested properties
path string
format=uri-reference
sshkey object

Affect how SSH keys are generated.

Default:
{
  "passphrase": "p@ssw0rd",
  "key_size": 4096
}
6 nested properties
add_keys boolean

If false, disables adding the SSH key to ssh-agent.

Default: false
key_algo
key_lifetime integer

The duration, in seconds, at which the SSH key will be removed from ssh-agent.

Default: 3600
min=0
key_size integer

The size at which the SSH key will be generated.

NOTE: With the ed25519 algorithm, key_size can still be specified, but will be ignored by ssh-keygen, since all keys for that algorithm are 256 bits.

Default: 4096
Values: 512 1024 2048 4096
min=512max=4096
passphrase string

A passphrase to generate the SSH key with.

Default: "b@dP@55w0rd_tryh@rd3r"
passphrase_var string

The name of an environment variable containing the passphrase to generate the SSH key with.

Default: "SSH_KEY_PASSPHRASE"
pattern=^\w*$
