RightScript Pull from Github for version control

[danielbull]

I have just started at a new company and have been handed the keys to the cloud management platform.
I want to be able to have proper version control for safer and faster development.

So i was curious if anybody has found a way to host the RightScripts on github and have the Server templates pull them down every time a node is created?

Hi Daniel

Depending on your workflow, instead of pulling just the RightScripts at launch, you could pull down the full Server Template , then provision the server using the latest Server Template.

We have a right_st tool that allows you to integrate with the platform. You would have a repository of Server Templates , that include your RightScripts.

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you for the quick response!

Taking it one step further and uploading the entire server template is definitely something we want to consider!
I stumbled across the right_st tool briefly the other day. I will take a good look into this and get it working.

Thank you again for the help
