Step 1 – Prior to creating the release in Octopus we need to get some information from the Octopus REST API. Perform an HTTP GET on the following URLs:
http://octoweb01/api/projects/all - Identify the Project Id of the desired project to create a release.
http://octoweb01/api/environments/all - Identify the Environment Id of the desired environment to deploy the release.
Step 2 – To create the release in Octopus perform an HTTP POST on the following URL. In the payload you must include the Project Id and the version number:
http://octoweb01/api/releases
Payload Example:
{"ProjectId":"projects-4",
"Version": "0.0.42"}
The response after this successful POST, will yield the “Release Id”. An example would be the following:
{
Id: "releases-141"
Assembled: "2015-03-19T03:06:33.006+00:00"
ReleaseNotes: null
ProjectId: "projects-4"
ProjectVariableSetSnapshotId: "variableset-projects-4-snapshot-1"
LibraryVariableSetSnapshotIds:
[
1]
0: "variableset-LibraryVariableSets-1-snapshot-17"
-
ProjectDeploymentProcessSnapshotId: "deploymentprocess-projects-4-snapshot-17"
SelectedPackages:
[
0]
Version: "0.0.42"
…}
Step 3 – Perform an HTTP POST on the following URL, with a payload that contains the Release Id (obtained from the response from creating release) and the desired Environment ID (obtained from the response from getting the Environment data):
http://octoweb01/api/deployments
Payload Example:
{"ReleaseId": "releases-141",
"EnvironmentId": "Environments-1"}
The response after this successful POST, will execute the deployment defined by the identified release:
{
Id: "deployments-174"
ReleaseId: "releases-141"
EnvironmentId: "Environments-1"
… }
Now you will see the following result in the Octopus Deploy dashboard:
