Just specify them on the command line +after the notebook file: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy notebook my-notebook.ipynb data.csv +``` + +#### Package Dependencies + +If a `requirements.txt` file exists in the same directory as the notebook file, it will +be included in the bundle. It must specify the package dependencies needed to execute +the notebook. Posit Connect will reconstruct the Python environment using the +specified package list. + +If there is no `requirements.txt` file or the `--force-generate` option is specified, +the package dependencies will be determined from the current Python environment, or +from an alternative Python executable specified via the `--python` option: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy notebook --python /path/to/python my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +You can see the packages list that will be included by running `pip list --format=freeze` yourself, +ensuring that you use the same Python that you use to run your Jupyter Notebook: + +```bash +/path/to/python -m pip list --format=freeze +``` + +#### Python Version + +When deploying Python content to Posit Connect, +the server will require a version of Python that matches the content +requirements. + +For example, a server with only Python 3.9 installed will fail to match content +that requires Python 3.8. + +`rsconnect` supports detecting Python version requirements in several ways: + 1. A `.python-version` file exists. In such case + `rsconnect` will use its content to determine the python version requirement. + 2. A `pyproject.toml` with a `project.requires-python` field exists. + In such case the requirement specified in the field will be used + if no `.python-version` file exists. + 3. A `setup.cfg` with an `options.python_requires` field exists. + In such case the requirement specified in the field will be used + if **1** or **2** were not already satisfied. + 4. If no other source of version requirement was found, then + the interpreter in use is considered the one required to run the content. + +On Posit Connect `>=2025.03.0` the requirement detected by `rsconnect` is +always respected. Older Connect versions will instead rely only on the +python version used to deploy the content to determine the requirement. + +For more information see the [Posit Connect Admin Guide chapter titled Python Version +Matching](https://docs.posit.co/connect/admin/python/#python-version-matching). + +We recommend providing a `pyproject.toml` with a `project.requires-python` field +if the deployed content is an installable package and a `.python-version` file +for plain directories. + +> **Note** +> The packages and package versions listed in `requirements.txt` must be +> compatible with the Python version you request. + +#### Static (Snapshot) Deployment + +By default, `rsconnect` deploys the original notebook with all its source code. This +enables the Posit Connect server to re-run the notebook upon request or on a schedule. + +If you just want to publish an HTML snapshot of the notebook, you can use the `--static` +option. This will cause `rsconnect` to execute your notebook locally to produce the HTML +file, then publish the HTML file to the Posit Connect server: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy notebook --static my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +### Creating a Manifest for Future Deployment + +You can create a `manifest.json` file for a Jupyter Notebook, then use that manifest +in a later deployment. Use the `write-manifest` command to do this. + +The `write-manifest` command will also create a `requirements.txt` file, if it does +not already exist or the `--force-generate` option is specified. It will contain the +package dependencies from the current Python environment, or from an alternative +Python executable specified in the `--python` option. + +Here is an example of the `write-manifest` command: + +```bash +rsconnect write-manifest notebook my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +> **Note** +> Manifests for static (pre-rendered) notebooks cannot be created. + +### API/Application Deployment Options + +You can deploy a variety of APIs and applications using sub-commands of the +`rsconnect deploy` command. + +* `api`: WSGI-compliant APIs (e.g., `bottle`, `falcon`, `flask`, `flask-restx`, `flasgger`, `pycnic`). +* `flask`: Flask APIs (_Note: `flask` is an alias of `api`._). +* `fastapi`: ASGI-compliant APIs (e.g, `fastapi`, `quart`, `sanic`, `starlette`) +* `dash`: Python Dash apps +* `streamlit`: Streamlit apps +* `bokeh`: Bokeh server apps +* `gradio`: Gradio apps + +All options below apply equally to the `api`, `fastapi`, `dash`, `streamlit`, +`gradio`, and `bokeh` sub-commands. + +#### Including Extra Files + +You can include extra files in the deployment bundle to make them available when your +API or application is run by the Posit Connect server. Just specify them on the +command line after the API or application directory: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy api flask-api/ data.csv +``` + +Since deploying an API or application starts at a directory level, there will be times +when some files under that directory subtree should not be included in the deployment +or manifest. Use the `--exclude` option to specify files or directories to exclude. + +```bash +rsconnect deploy dash --exclude dash-app-venv --exclude TODO.txt dash-app/ +``` + +You can exclude a directory by naming it: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy dash --exclude dash-app-venv --exclude output/ dash-app/ +``` + +The `--exclude` option may be repeated, and may include a glob pattern. +You should always quote a glob pattern so that it will be passed to `rsconnect` as-is +instead of letting the shell expand it. If a file is specifically listed as an extra +file that also matches an exclusion pattern, the file will still be included in the +deployment (i.e., extra files take precedence). + +```bash +rsconnect deploy dash --exclude dash-app-venv --exclude “*.txt” dash-app/ +``` + +The following shows an example of an extra file taking precedence: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy dash --exclude “*.csv” dash-app/ important_data.csv +``` + +The "`**`" glob pattern will recursively match all files and directories, +while "`*`" only matches files. The "`**`" pattern is useful with complicated +project hierarchies where enumerating the _included_ files is simpler than +listing the _exclusions_. + +```bash +rsconnect deploy quarto . _quarto.yml index.qmd requirements.txt --exclude "**" +``` + +Some directories are excluded by default, to prevent bundling and uploading files that are not needed or might interfere with the deployment process: + +``` +.Rproj.user +.env +.git +.svn +.venv +__pycache__ +env +packrat +renv +rsconnect-python +rsconnect +venv +``` + +Any directory that appears to be a Python virtual environment (by containing +`bin/python`) will also be excluded. + +#### Package Dependencies + +If a `requirements.txt` file exists in the API/application directory, it will be +included in the bundle. It must specify the package dependencies needed to execute +the API or application. Posit Connect will reconstruct the Python environment using +the specified package list. + +If there is no `requirements.txt` file or the `--force-generate` option is specified, +the package dependencies will be determined from the current Python environment, or +from an alternative Python executable specified via the `--python` option: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy api --python /path/to/python my-api/ +``` + +You can see the packages list that will be included by running `pip list --format=freeze` yourself, +ensuring that you use the same Python that you use to run your API or application: + +```bash +/path/to/python -m pip list --format=freeze +``` + +#### Python Version + +When deploying Python content to Posit Connect, +the server will require matching `` versions of Python. For example, +a server with only Python 3.9 installed will fail to match content deployed with +Python 3.8. Your administrator may also enable exact Python version matching which +will be stricter and require matching major, minor, and patch versions. For more +information see the [Posit Connect Admin Guide chapter titled Python Version +Matching](https://docs.posit.co/connect/admin/python/#python-version-matching). + +We recommend installing a version of Python on your client that is also available +in your Connect installation. If that's not possible, you can override +rsconnect-python's detected Python version and request a version of Python +that is installed in Connect, For example, this command: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy api --override-python-version 3.11.5 my-api/ +``` + +will deploy the content in `my-api` while requesting that Connect +use Python version 3.11.5. + +> **Note** +> The packages and package versions listed in `requirements.txt` must be +> compatible with the Python version you request. + +### Creating a Manifest for Future Deployment + +You can create a `manifest.json` file for an API or application, then use that +manifest in a later deployment. Use the `write-manifest` command to do this. + +The `write-manifest` command will also create a `requirements.txt` file, if it does +not already exist or the `--force-generate` option is specified. It will contain +the package dependencies from the current Python environment, or from an alternative +Python executable specified in the `--python` option. + +Here is an example of the `write-manifest` command: + +```bash +rsconnect write-manifest api my-api/ +``` + +### Deploying R or Other Content + +You can deploy other content that has an existing Posit Connect `manifest.json` +file. For example, if you download and unpack a source bundle from Posit Connect, +you can deploy the resulting directory. The options are similar to notebook or +API/application deployment; see `rsconnect deploy manifest --help` for details. + +Here is an example of the `deploy manifest` command: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy manifest /path/to/manifest.json +``` + +> **Note** +> In this case, the existing content is deployed as-is. Python environment +> inspection and notebook pre-rendering, if needed, are assumed to be done already +> and represented in the manifest. + +The argument to `deploy manifest` may also be a directory so long as that directory +contains a `manifest.json` file. + +If you have R content but don't have a `manifest.json` file, you can use the RStudio +IDE to create the manifest. See the help for the `rsconnect::writeManifest` R function: + +```r +install.packages('rsconnect') +library(rsconnect) +?rsconnect::writeManifest +``` + +### Options for All Types of Deployments + +These options apply to any type of content deployment. + +#### Title + +The title of the deployed content is, by default, derived from the filename. For +example, if you deploy `my-notebook.ipynb`, the title will be `my-notebook`. To change +this, use the `--title` option: + +``` +rsconnect deploy notebook --title "My Notebook" my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +When using `rsconnect deploy api`, `rsconnect deploy fastapi`, `rsconnect deploy dash`, +`rsconnect deploy streamlit`, `rsconnect deploy bokeh`, or `rsconnect deploy gradio`, +the title is derived from the directory containing the API or application. + +When using `rsconnect deploy manifest`, the title is derived from the primary +filename referenced in the manifest. + +#### Verification After Deployment + +After deploying your content, rsconnect accesses the deployed content +to verify that the deployment is live. This is done with a `GET` request +to the content, without parameters. The request is +considered successful if there isn't a 5xx code returned. Errors like +400 Bad Request or 405 Method Not Allowed because not all apps support `GET /`. +For cases where this is not desired, use the `--no-verify` flag on the command line. + +### Environment variables + +You can set environment variables during deployment. Their names and values will be +passed to Posit Connect during deployment so you can use them in your code. Note that +if you are using `rsconnect` to deploy to shinyapps.io, environment variable management +is not supported on that platform. + +For example, if `notebook.ipynb` contains + +```python +print(os.environ["MYVAR"]) +``` + +You can set the value of `MYVAR` that will be set when your code runs in Posit Connect +using the `-E/--environment` option: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy notebook --environment MYVAR='hello world' notebook.ipynb +``` + +To avoid exposing sensitive values on the command line, you can specify +a variable without a value. In this case, it will use the value from the +environment in which rsconnect-python is running: + +```bash +export SECRET_KEY=12345 + +rsconnect deploy notebook --environment SECRET_KEY notebook.ipynb +``` + +If you specify environment variables when updating an existing deployment, +new values will be set for the variables you provided. Other variables will +remain unchanged. If you don't specify any variables, all of the existing +variables will remain unchanged. + +Environment variables are set on the content item before the content bundle +is uploaded and deployed. If the deployment fails, the new environment variables +will still take effect. + + +### Updating a Deployment + +If you deploy a file again to the same server, `rsconnect` will update the previous +deployment. This means that you can keep running `rsconnect deploy notebook my-notebook.ipynb` +as you develop new versions of your notebook. The same applies to other Python content +types. + +#### Forcing a New Deployment + +To bypass this behavior and force a new deployment, use the `--new` option: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy dash --new my-app/ +``` + +#### Updating a Different Deployment + +If you want to update an existing deployment but don't have the saved deployment data, +you can provide the app's numeric ID or GUID on the command line: + +```bash +rsconnect deploy notebook --app-id 123456 my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +You must be the owner of the target deployment, or a collaborator with permission to +change the content. The type of content (static notebook, notebook with source code, +API, or application) must match the existing deployment. + +> **Note** +> There is no confirmation required to update a deployment. If you do so +> accidentally, use the "Source Versions" dialog in the Posit Connect dashboard to +> activate the previous version and remove the erroneous one. + +##### Finding the App ID + +The App ID associated with a piece of content you have previously deployed from the +`rsconnect` command line interface can be found easily by querying the deployment +information using the `info` command. For more information, see the +[Showing the Deployment Information](#showing-the-deployment-information) section. + +If the content was deployed elsewhere or `info` does not return the correct App ID, +but you can open the content on Posit Connect, find the content and open it in a +browser. The URL in your browser's location bar will contain `#/apps/NNN` where `NNN` +is your App ID. The GUID identifier for the app may be found on the **Info** tab for +the content in the Posit Connect UI. + +#### Showing the Deployment Information + +You can see the information that the `rsconnect` command has saved for the most recent +deployment with the `info` command: + +```bash +rsconnect info my-notebook.ipynb +``` + +If you have deployed to multiple servers, the most recent deployment information for +each server will be shown. This command also displays the path to the file where the +deployment data is stored. + +## Stored Information Files + +Stored information files are stored in a platform-specific directory: + +| Platform | Location | +| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | +| Mac | `$HOME/Library/Application Support/rsconnect-python/` | +| Linux | `$HOME/.rsconnect-python/` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rsconnect-python/` | +| Windows | `$APPDATA/rsconnect-python` | + +Remembered server information is stored in the `servers.json` file in that directory. + +### Deployment Data + +After a deployment is completed, information about the deployment is saved +to enable later redeployment. This data is stored alongside the deployed file, +in an `rsconnect-python` subdirectory, if possible. If that location is not writable +during deployment, then the deployment data will be stored in the global configuration +directory specified above. + +

Try to choose content -items that have the most dependencies in common with other content items on the server. Build these content items -first with the `rsconnect content build run` command. This will "warm" the Python and R environment cache for subsequent -content builds. Once these initial builds are complete, add the remaining content items to the list of "tracked" content -and execute another `rsconnect content build run` command. - -To execute multiple content builds simultaniously, use the `rsconnect content build run --parallelism` flag to increase the -number of concurrent builds. By default, each content item is built serially. Increasing the build parallelism can reduce the total -time needed to rebuild a long list of content items. We recommend starting with a low parallelism setting (2-3) and increasing -from there to avoid overloading the Connect server with concurrent build operations. Remember that these builds are executing on the -Connect server which consumes CPU, RAM, and i/o bandwidth that would otherwise we allocated for Python and R applications -running on the server. - -## Common Usage Examples - -### Searching for content - -The following are some examples of how publishers might use the -`rsconnect content search` subcommand to find content on Posit Connect. -By default, the `rsconnect content search` command will return metadata for ALL -of the content on a Posit Connect server, both published and unpublished content. - -> **Note** -> When using the `--r-version` and `--py-version` flags, users should -> make sure to quote the arguments to avoid conflicting with your shell. For -> example, bash would interpret `--py-version >3.0.0` as a shell redirect because of the -> unquoted `>` character. - -```bash -# return only published content -rsconnect content search --published - -# return only unpublished content -rsconnect content search --unpublished - -# return published content where the python version is at least 3.9.0 -rsconnect content search --published --py-version ">=3.9.0" - -# return published content where the R version is exactly 3.6.3 -rsconnect content search --published --r-version "==3.6.3" - -# return published content where the content type is a static RMD -rsconnect content search --content-type rmd-static - -# return published content where the content type is either shiny OR fast-api -rsconnect content search --content-type shiny --content-type python-fastapi - -# return all content, published or unpublished, where the title contains the -# text "Stock Report" -rsconnect content search --title-contains "Stock Report" - -# return published content, results are ordered by when the content was last -# deployed -rsconnect content search --published --order-by last_deployed - -# return published content, results are ordered by when the content was -# created -rsconnect content search --published --order-by created -``` - -### Finding r and python versions - -One common use for the `search` command might be to find the versions of -r and python that are currently in use on your Posit Connect server before a migration. - -```bash -# search for all published content and print the unique r and python version -# combinations -rsconnect content search --published | jq -c '.[] | {py_version,r_version}' | sort | -uniq -# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":"3.5.3"} -# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":"3.6.3"} -# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":null} -# {"py_version":null,"r_version":"3.5.3"} -# {"py_version":null,"r_version":"3.6.3"} -# {"py_version":null,"r_version":null} -``` - -### Finding recently deployed content - -```bash -# return only the 10 most recently deployed content items -rsconnect content search \ - --order-by last_deployed \ - --published | jq -c 'limit(10; .[]) | { guid, last_deployed_time }' -# {"guid":"4ffc819c-065c-420c-88eb-332db1133317","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-02T18:09:11Z"} -# {"guid":"aa2603f8-1988-484f-a335-193f2c57e6c4","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-01T20:56:07Z"} -# {"guid":"051252f0-4f70-438f-9be1-d818a3b5f8d9","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-01T20:37:01Z"} -# {"guid":"015143da-b75f-407c-81b1-99c4a724341e","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-30T16:56:21Z"} -# {"guid":"bcc74209-3a81-4b9c-acd5-d24a597c256c","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-30T15:51:07Z"} -# {"guid":"f21d7767-c99e-4dd4-9b00-ff8ec9ae2f53","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T18:46:28Z"} -# {"guid":"da4f709c-c383-4fbc-89e2-f032b2d7e91d","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T18:46:28Z"} -# {"guid":"9180809d-38fd-4730-a0e0-8568c45d87b7","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T15:16:19Z"} -# {"guid":"2b1d2ab8-927d-4956-bbf9-29798d039bc5","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-22T18:33:17Z"} -# {"guid":"c96db3f3-87a1-4df5-9f58-eb109c397718","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-19T20:25:33Z"} -``` - -### Add to build from search results - -One common use case might be to `rsconnect content build add` content for build -based on the results of a `rsconnect content search`. For example: - -```bash -# search for all API type content, then -# for each guid, add it to the "tracked" content items -for guid in $(rsconnect content search \ - --published \ - --content-type python-api \ - --content-type api | jq -r '.[].guid'); do - rsconnect content build add --guid $guid -done -``` - -Adding content items one at a time can be a slow operation. This is because -`rsconnect content build add` must fetch metadata for each content item before it -is added to the "tracked" content items. By providing multiple `--guid` arguments -to the `rsconnect content build add` subcommand, we can fetch metadata for multiple content items -in a single api call, which speeds up the operation significantly. - -```bash -# write the guid of every published content item to a file called guids.txt -rsconnect content search --published | jq '.[].guid' > guids.txt - -# bulk-add from the guids.txt with a single `rsconnect content build add` command -xargs printf -- '-g %s\n' < guids.txt | xargs rsconnect content build add -``` -## Programmatic Provisioning - -Posit Connect supports the programmatic bootstrapping of an administrator API key -for scripted provisioning tasks. This process is supported by the `rsconnect bootstrap` command, -which uses a JSON Web Token to request an initial API key from a fresh Connect instance. - -```bash -rsconnect bootstrap \ - --server https://connect.example.org:3939 \ - --jwt-keypath /path/to/secret.key -``` - -A full description on how to use `rsconnect bootstrap` in a provisioning workflow is provided in the Connect administrator guide's -[programmatic provisioning](https://docs.posit.co/connect/admin/programmatic-provisioning) documentation. - -## Server Administration Tasks - -Starting with the 2023.05 edition of Posit Connect, `rsconnect-python` can be -used to perform certain server administration tasks, such as instance managing -runtime caches. For more information on runtime caches in Posit Connect, see the -Connect Admin Guide's section on [runtime -caches](https://docs.posit.co/connect/admin/server-management/runtime-caches/). - -Examples in this section will use `--name myserver` to stand in for your Connect -server information. See [Managing Server -Information](#managing-server-information) above for more details. - -### Enumerate Runtime Caches -*New in Connect 2023.05* - -Use the command below to enumerate runtime caches on a Connect server. The -command will output a JSON object containing a list of runtime caches . Each -cache entry will contain the following information: - -- `language`: The language of content that uses the cache, either R or Python. -- `version`: The language version of the content that uses the cache. -- `image_name`: The execution environment of the cache. The string `Local` - denotes native execution. For Connect instances that use off-host execution, - the name of the image that uses the cache will be displayed. - -```bash -rsconnect system caches list --name myserver -# { -# "caches": [ -# { -# "language": "R", -# "version": "3.6.3", -# "image_name": "Local" -# }, -# { -# "language": "Python", -# "version": "3.9.5", -# "image_name": "Local" -# }, -# { -# "language": "R", -# "version": "3.6.3", -# "image_name": "rstudio/content-base:r3.6.3-py3.9.5-bionic" -# }, -# { -# "language": "Python", -# "version": "3.9.5", -# "image_name": "rstudio/content-base:r3.6.3-py3.9.5-bionic" -# } -# ] -# } -``` - -> **Note** -> The `image_name` field returned by the server will use sanitized versions -> of names. - -### Delete Runtime Caches -*New in Connect 2023.05* - -When Connect's execution environment changes, runtime caches may be invalidated. -In these cases, you will need to delete the affected runtime caches using the -`system caches delete` command. - -> **Warning** -> After deleting a cache, the first time affected content is visited, Connect -> will need to reconstruct its environment. This can take a long time. To -> mitigate this, you can use the [`content build`](#content-build) command to -> rebuild affected content ahead of time. You may want to do this just for -> high-priority content, or for all content. - -To delete a runtime cache, call the `system caches delete` command, specifying a -Connect server, as well as the language (`-l, --language`), version (`-V, ---version`), and image name (`-I, --image-name`) for the cache you wish to -delete.

Try to choose content +items that have the most dependencies in common with other content items on the server. Build these content items +first with the `rsconnect content build run` command. This will "warm" the Python and R environment cache for subsequent +content builds. Once these initial builds are complete, add the remaining content items to the list of "tracked" content +and execute another `rsconnect content build run` command. + +To execute multiple content builds simultaniously, use the `rsconnect content build run --parallelism` flag to increase the +number of concurrent builds. By default, each content item is built serially. Increasing the build parallelism can reduce the total +time needed to rebuild a long list of content items. We recommend starting with a low parallelism setting (2-3) and increasing +from there to avoid overloading the Connect server with concurrent build operations. Remember that these builds are executing on the +Connect server which consumes CPU, RAM, and i/o bandwidth that would otherwise we allocated for Python and R applications +running on the server. + +### Usage Examples + +#### Searching for content + +The following are some examples of how publishers might use the +`rsconnect content search` subcommand to find content on Posit Connect. +By default, the `rsconnect content search` command will return metadata for ALL +of the content on a Posit Connect server, both published and unpublished content. + +> **Note** +> When using the `--r-version` and `--py-version` flags, users should +> make sure to quote the arguments to avoid conflicting with your shell. For +> example, bash would interpret `--py-version >3.0.0` as a shell redirect because of the +> unquoted `>` character. + +```bash +# return only published content +rsconnect content search --published + +# return only unpublished content +rsconnect content search --unpublished + +# return published content where the python version is at least 3.9.0 +rsconnect content search --published --py-version ">=3.9.0" + +# return published content where the R version is exactly 3.6.3 +rsconnect content search --published --r-version "==3.6.3" + +# return published content where the content type is a static RMD +rsconnect content search --content-type rmd-static + +# return published content where the content type is either shiny OR fast-api +rsconnect content search --content-type shiny --content-type python-fastapi + +# return all content, published or unpublished, where the title contains the +# text "Stock Report" +rsconnect content search --title-contains "Stock Report" + +# return published content, results are ordered by when the content was last +# deployed +rsconnect content search --published --order-by last_deployed + +# return published content, results are ordered by when the content was +# created +rsconnect content search --published --order-by created +``` + +#### Finding R and Python versions + +One common use for the `search` command might be to find the versions of +R and python that are currently in use on your Posit Connect server before a migration. + +```bash +# search for all published content and print the unique r and python version +# combinations +rsconnect content search --published | jq -c '.[] | {py_version,r_version}' | sort | +uniq +# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":"3.5.3"} +# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":"3.6.3"} +# {"py_version":"3.8.2","r_version":null} +# {"py_version":null,"r_version":"3.5.3"} +# {"py_version":null,"r_version":"3.6.3"} +# {"py_version":null,"r_version":null} +``` + +#### Finding recently deployed content + +```bash +# return only the 10 most recently deployed content items +rsconnect content search \ + --order-by last_deployed \ + --published | jq -c 'limit(10; .[]) | { guid, last_deployed_time }' +# {"guid":"4ffc819c-065c-420c-88eb-332db1133317","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-02T18:09:11Z"} +# {"guid":"aa2603f8-1988-484f-a335-193f2c57e6c4","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-01T20:56:07Z"} +# {"guid":"051252f0-4f70-438f-9be1-d818a3b5f8d9","last_deployed_time":"2021-12-01T20:37:01Z"} +# {"guid":"015143da-b75f-407c-81b1-99c4a724341e","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-30T16:56:21Z"} +# {"guid":"bcc74209-3a81-4b9c-acd5-d24a597c256c","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-30T15:51:07Z"} +# {"guid":"f21d7767-c99e-4dd4-9b00-ff8ec9ae2f53","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T18:46:28Z"} +# {"guid":"da4f709c-c383-4fbc-89e2-f032b2d7e91d","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T18:46:28Z"} +# {"guid":"9180809d-38fd-4730-a0e0-8568c45d87b7","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-23T15:16:19Z"} +# {"guid":"2b1d2ab8-927d-4956-bbf9-29798d039bc5","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-22T18:33:17Z"} +# {"guid":"c96db3f3-87a1-4df5-9f58-eb109c397718","last_deployed_time":"2021-11-19T20:25:33Z"} +``` + +#### Add to build from search results + +One common use case might be to `rsconnect content build add` content for build +based on the results of a `rsconnect content search`.

This is because +`rsconnect content build add` must fetch metadata for each content item before it +is added to the "tracked" content items. By providing multiple `--guid` arguments +to the `rsconnect content build add` subcommand, we can fetch metadata for multiple content items +in a single api call, which speeds up the operation significantly. + +```bash +# write the guid of every published content item to a file called guids.txt +rsconnect content search --published | jq '.[].guid' > guids.txt + +# bulk-add from the guids.txt with a single `rsconnect content build add` command +xargs printf -- '-g %s\n' < guids.txt | xargs rsconnect content build add +``` diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml index a6a1c4e9..96dd18fd 100644 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ b/mkdocs.yml @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -site_name: 'Posit Connect: rsconnect-python' +site_name: 'rsconnect-python' copyright: Posit Software, PBC.
