[mproxy](https://github.com/basecamp/parachute) is a custom minimal
proxy designed specifically for Kamal.
It has two big advantages over Traefik:
1. Imperative deployments - we tell it to switch from container A to
container B, and it waits for container B to start then switches. No
need to poll for health checks ourselves or mess around with forcing
health checks to fail.
2. Support for multiple apps - as much as possible, configuration is
supplied at runtime by the deploy command, allowing us to have
multiple apps share an instance of mproxy without conflicting config.
To avoid polluting the default SSH directory with lots of Kamal config,
we'll default to putting them in a `kamal` sub directory.
But also make the directory configurable with the `run_directory` key,
so for example you can set it as `/var/run/kamal/`
The directory is created during bootstrap or before any command that
will need to access a file.
Add a deploy lock for commands that are unsafe to run concurrently.
The lock is taken by creating a `mrsk_lock` directory on the primary
host. Details of who took the lock are added to a details file in that
directory.
Additional CLI commands have been added to manual release and acquire
the lock and to check its status.
```
Commands:
mrsk lock acquire -m, --message=MESSAGE # Acquire the deploy lock
mrsk lock help [COMMAND] # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
mrsk lock release # Release the deploy lock
mrsk lock status # Report lock status
Options:
-v, [--verbose], [--no-verbose] # Detailed logging
-q, [--quiet], [--no-quiet] # Minimal logging
[--version=VERSION] # Run commands against a specific app version
-p, [--primary], [--no-primary] # Run commands only on primary host instead of all
-h, [--hosts=HOSTS] # Run commands on these hosts instead of all (separate by comma)
-r, [--roles=ROLES] # Run commands on these roles instead of all (separate by comma)
-c, [--config-file=CONFIG_FILE] # Path to config file
# Default: config/deploy.yml
-d, [--destination=DESTINATION] # Specify destination to be used for config file (staging -> deploy.staging.yml)
-B, [--skip-broadcast], [--no-skip-broadcast] # Skip audit broadcasts
```
If we add support for running multiple deployments on a single server
we'll need to extend the locking to lock per deployment.
