This article shows you how to automatically deploy your app from a git repo hosted at Bitbucket. That is, whenever you push your master branch to Bitbucket, Bitbucket will POST to a URL on your server, which will then pull and deploy the repo.

The code in this article is based on this tutorial.

Configuration

1. In ServerPilot, create an app. We’ll use APPNAME to refer to the name you chose for this app.
2. SSH into the server as your app’s system user; we use the serverpilot user in this tutorial.
3. Run ssh-keygen to generate an SSH key. Don’t assign it a password.
4. Add the public key to your Bitbucket account’s SSH keys.
5. cd ~/apps/APPNAME
6. git clone --mirror git@bitbucket.org:USERNAME/REPONAME.git repo, which checks out the repo to a directory called repo.
7. Do an initial deployment from the command line by running:

   cd repo
   GIT_WORK_TREE=/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/APPNAME/public git checkout -f master

8. Create the file ~/apps/APPNAME/public/bitbucket-deploy.php with the following contents (be sure to replace APPNAME with the name of your app):

   <?php
   $repo_dir = '/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/APPNAME/repo';
   $web_root_dir = '/srv/users/serverpilot/apps/APPNAME/public';
   
   // Full path to git binary is required if git is not in your PHP user's path. Otherwise just use 'git'.
   $git_bin_path = 'git';
   
   $update = false;
   
   // Parse data from Bitbucket hook payload
   $payload = json_decode($_POST['payload']);
   
   if (empty($payload->commits)){
     // When merging and pushing to bitbucket, the commits array will be empty.
     // In this case there is no way to know what branch was pushed to, so we will do an update.
     $update = true;
   } else {
     foreach ($payload->commits as $commit) {
       $branch = $commit->branch;
       if ($branch === 'master' || isset($commit->branches) && in_array('master', $commit->branches)) {
         $update = true;
         break;
       }
     }
   }
   
   if ($update) {
     // Do a git checkout to the web root
     exec('cd ' . $repo_dir . ' && ' . $git_bin_path  . ' fetch');
     exec('cd ' . $repo_dir . ' && GIT_WORK_TREE=' . $web_root_dir . ' ' . $git_bin_path  . ' checkout -f');
   
     // Log the deployment
     $commit_hash = shell_exec('cd ' . $repo_dir . ' && ' . $git_bin_path  . ' rev-parse --short HEAD');
     file_put_contents('deploy.log', date('m/d/Y h:i:s a') . " Deployed branch: " .  $branch . " Commit: " . $commit_hash . "\n", FILE_APPEND);
   }
   ?>
   

9. Add a POST hook for the repo in Bitbucket with the URLhttp://YOURDOMAIN/bitbucket-deploy.php.
10. Make changes, commit them to the “master” branch, and push.
11. The files were now deployed to ~/apps/APPNAME/public as intended.
12. For additional security, change the name of bitbucket-deploy.php to something containing random characters, such as bitbucket-deploy-23d98th98y.php. If you do that, don’t forget to update the URL you configured in Bitbucket.

For debugging, the script in that blog post creates a log file at~/apps/APPNAME/public/deploy.log. You can also check your app’s nginx logs if you aren’t sure Bitbucket made the request.

First of all, navigate to Bitbucket installation directory.

e.g.:

C:\Atlassian

For modifying the default server port to 80 with exists apache server, navigate to ApplicationData directory.

e.g.:

C:\Atlassian\ApplicationData\Bitbucket\shared

(This tutorial was created with Bitbucket v4.9.1)

Stop your bitbucket server for better performance.

Open server.xml file and go to line 71 or search for :

<Connector port="7990"

And add new values before end the tag.

scheme="http"
proxyName="git"
proxyPort="80"
/>

So the whole section will be looks like,

<Connector port="7990" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
redirectPort="8443"
compression="on"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,application/json,application/javascript,application/x-javascript"
scheme="http"
proxyName="MY_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE"
proxyPort="80"
/>

Save the file and navigate to your apache virtual host configuration file and create or add a new virtual host.

e.g.:

<VirtualHost MY_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE:80>
ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass / http://MY_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE:7990/
ProxyPassReverse / http://MY_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE:7990/

ServerName MY_DOMAIN_NAME_HERE

</VirtualHost>

Save the file and restart apache and start the bitbucket server. If everything works fine, bitbucket server will be run with Apache server and http default port 80 simultaneously without any problem.

RFC 2606 lists the following TLDs reserved for private testing:

• .test
• .example
• .invalid
• .localhost

As you can see from the names, this was created for testing and not for production.

I strongly advise you to reserve your own domain name on the Internet, even if you are not planning on using it in the near future. At the least it will ensure that no conflicts will occur with some other business on the Internet with a similar name.
