Bitballoon can easily be set up for continuous deployment off a github branch, which typically is the preferred method for deployment. However, if you want to set up the initial deploy, or prefer manually deploy rather than linking to github, this deployer should fit the bill.
- name: name of the site you want to deploy
- access_token: an oauth access token from bitballoon
Luckily, it's very simple to generate an access token without having to jump through the usual oauth hoops. To do so, log into your bitballoon account, and head over to the Applications menu item.
Once on this page, generate a new Personal Access Token as such:
Now just copy that token and add it to your ship.conf file, or just enter it in the command line prompt the first time you run ship for the site. And no, don't try to use the token in the image above, it's just there as an example and is not a valid token. Make your own tokens holmes.
