**A lightweight, no-nonsense CI/CD automation tool.**

RAY clones your GitHub repo, runs your build command, builds a Docker image, and replaces containers with zero downtime — all from a simple JSON config. No YAML, no cloud vendor lock-in, just code that ships.

## Features

-   Clone GitHub repositories
-   Docker image creation
-   Zero-downtime container replacement
-   JSON-based config file
-   CLI and library usage supported

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g @jin7942/ray
```

## CLI Usage

```bash
ray init               # Create default config file
ray init wizard        # Run interactive setup wizard
ray run                # Run all configured projects
ray run <project>      # Run a specific project
ray help               # Show help
```

## Configuration Example (`ray.config.json`)

```jsonc
{
    "projects": [
        {
            "name": "my-app",
            "repo": "https://github.com/user/my-app.git",
            "branch": "main",
            "docker": {
                // Added support for docker-compose starting from v1.5.0.
                "type": "docker | compose",
                "image": "my-app-image",

                    "compose": "./docker-compose.yml"
                },
                // Only used when type == "docker"
                "network": ["net1", "net2"], // Added --network support for Docker containers
                "volumes": ["/host/path:/app/path", "/tmp/test:/app/test"] // Added support for Docker container volume mounts.
            },

}
```

## Dockerfile Example (`Dockerfile`)

```docker
FROM node:22-alpine AS builder

WORKDIR /app
COPY . .

RUN apk update && apk upgrade
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build

FROM node:22-alpine

WORKDIR /app

COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder /app/package.json .
COPY --from=builder /app/package-lock.json .

RUN apk add --no-cache git

RUN npm install --omit=dev

EXPOSE 7979

```

### You must write your build logic inside the Dockerfile. RAY does not run build commands anymore as of v1.2.0.

## Library Usage
