The deploymeteor script makes it as easy as possible to deploy a meteor app to a standard Amazon EC2 server running the latest Amazon Linux AMI.

Overview

Deploying meteor applications can often be a daunting task, especially for those who may not have extensive experience with server management and deployment processes. However, the deploymeteor script simplifies this by allowing you to effortlessly deploy multiple meteor apps to Amazon EC2 servers running either Amazon Linux or Ubuntu. With its ability to automate the setup of server environments and manage individual applications, it offers a streamlined solution for developers looking to host their meteor projects with ease.

This tool is particularly advantageous for those seeking a quick deployment process without getting bogged down by complex configurations. Although the script is no longer actively maintained, the option for community contributions ensures that users can still adapt and improve it to meet their needs. Whether you're deploying to a test, staging, or production environment, deploymeteor makes it straightforward to manage your meteor apps.
