Status The mup status command gives an overview of what is running on the servers and shows any problems plugins detected.

Reverse Proxy

• The reverse proxy is no longer an "experimental feature"
• Add support for customizing the generated nginx config
• Add mup proxy nginx-config command to view the generated config
• HTTP_FORWARDED_COUNT defaults to 1 when using the reverse proxy (@jehartzog)
• Fix verifying deployment when using the reverse proxy.

• If mongo fails to start, the Start Mongo task will now fail

Depreciations

meteor.ssl, meteor.nginx, and meteor.docker.imageFrontendServer are depreciated. It uses a different implementation for custom certificates and lets encrypt, each with different features and restrictions. Also, the custom certificate implementation has security problems. The reverse proxy should be used instead. It doesn't have the security problems, uses the same implementation for custom certificates and lets encrypt, and has many additional features. Learn how to use the reverse proxy in the docs.

proxy.shared.clientUploadLimit is depreciated. Use proxy.clientUploadLimit instead, which allows each app to have a different value.

Other Changes

Plugins

• The remaining Meteor functionality has been removed from the default plugin, allowing plugins to completely take over deploying and managing the app when app.type in the config is set to something besides meteor

1.3.4 - October 4, 2017

• The exit code for mup validate is now 1 when there are validation errors
• Fix changing proxy's clientUploadLimit with proxy.shared.clientUploadLimit

1.3.0 - August 22, 2017

Hooks

It is now possible to add hooks that run before or after commands. The new --show-hook-names option shows all of the available hooks for a cli command while it is running. Hooks can be a command to run locally or on the servers, or a function.

Plugins

Plugins are npm packages that can add commands (commands can be run from the mup cli or by other plugins), hooks, and config validators. All of the included cli commands and task lists have been moved to plugins.

Changes to Deployment and Deployment validation

This is currently only enabled for the abernix/meteord docker image.

After the bundle is uploaded to each server, a new task is run called "Prepare bundle". It installs the Meteor npm dependencies, rebuilds native modules, and stores the result in a docker image. This has a few benefits:

• The time in meteor.deployCheckWaitTime no longer needs to include the time to install npm dependencies
• When installing dependencies fails, it does not continuously restart until meteor.deployCheckWaitTime expires, and running with --verbose shows the full logs from npm install
• Dependencies are only installed once during each deploy. This means that mup start, mup restart, and mup reconfig are all much faster.

Improved Support for Multiple Servers

• mup restart restarts only one server at a time
• Add --servers option to list which servers to use
• Add support for server specific env variables, which can be configured in meteor.servers.<server name>.env

Config Changes

• The meteor object has been renamed to app. The meteor object will be supported until Mup 2.0
• You can remove mongo.port and mongo.oplog from your config since they have never been used

Docs

• Remove meteor.docker.imagePort, mongo.port, and mongo.oplog from example configs
• Document meteor.docker.imagePort
• Update documentation for meteor.deployCheckWaitTime
• Improve mongo, migration, proxy, and troubleshooting docs

Other Changes

• The reverse proxy can redirect http to https, configured with proxy.ssl.forceSSL
• mup setup updates Docker if it is older than 1.13
• Add mup proxy reconfig-shared to update the server after changing proxy.shared in the config.
• Remove meteor.deployCheckWaitTime, meteor.docker.imagePort, and mongo.port from default config
• Renamed the meteor object in the default config to app
• Improve cli help output (commands have a description, command specific options are documented)
• Show link to docs when there are validation errors
• Show validation error when server.pem is a path to a public key
• Show validation error when app.name has a period
• Improve some of the validation messages
• Fix validating proxy.shared.clientUploadLimit
• Mup displays message and exits if the node version is older than v4
• Remove unnecessary stack traces when the app's path is incorrect or meteor build fails
• Add mup meteor restart command
• Remove mup mongo dump command since it did nothing

1.2.11 - June 14, 2017

• Deployment verifier shows last 100 lines of the app's log when it fails (it previously was 50 lines)
• Fix mup setup restarting docker

1.2.10 - June 4, 2017

• Deployment verifier no longer requires the http status code to be 200.

1.2.9 - June 3, 2017

• Add shared nginx proxy
  • Is configured with a proxy object instead of using meteor.ssl and meteor.nginx
  • If multiple apps are deployed to a server, routes requests to the correct container
  • Adds mup proxy command. For a list of subcommands, run mup proxy help
  • Supports using custom certificates. This should be used instead of meteor.ssl since the previous image used for custom certificates had a security vulnerability.
  • Also can set up Let's Encrypt
  • Supports configuring the env variables for the nginx and let's encrypt containers.

Big thanks to @shaiamir for his work on the shared proxy.

• mup stop also stops nginx proxy and let's encrypt containers
• App inside container's port is set to docker.imagePort. The app is still accessible on env.PORT.
• Will build app if cached build is not found and --cached-build flag is set
• Fix some bugs with verifying deployment
• Add support for zodern:mup-helpers package. Since version 1.2.7, verifying deployment fails if the app's / route's http code is other than 200, or if it does not redirect on the server to a page that does have that http code. Adding zodern:mup-helpers allows meteor up to successfully validate the deployment.
