Enmuster

Enmuster is a cross-platform tool for deploying websites and web apps.

Once set up, it's a one click action on the big orange button to deploy changes to a project.
A change means a file whose date or size differs between your local copy and one on your server.

manage multiple projects
test first to confirm what will change
deploy to multiple sites at one go
temporarily turn some of them off
(NEW in v2) automatically turn some of them off, to avoid accidental updates
automatically run a file to turn your site off and on while you update (maintenance mode)
run a newly uploaded file at the end to upgrade your installation (e.g. reorganise a database)
deploy via HTTPS, SSH (NEW in V2), or encrypted over plain old HTTP
deploy via a SSH tunnel if your target is inside a gateway of some kind

Windows download

for 64-bit systems
for 32-bit systems

Once downloaded, just run the setup file to install.

Get the server side from the app's settings page once it's running.

Linux download

for 64-bit systems

Once downloaded, unzip the file and run enmuster/nw to start. You can install it by putting it into somewhere central like /usr/local, or just use it where it is.

You can create a .desktop file on Ubuntu to run it (and pin to task bar): just edit the paths in this example and make it executable.

For a 32-bit version, download nw.js for Linux separately and replace the corresponding files in the 64-bit version.

Mac download

for 64-bit systems

Once downloaded, unzip the file and run enmuster/nw to start. A better installer may follow sometime.

For a 32-bit version, download nw.js for MacOS/X separately and replace the corresponding files in the 64-bit version. That would be a pretty ancient Mac you've got there.
