Tools for writing awesome Fabric files
Project description
About
fabtools includes useful functions to help you write your Fabric files.
fabtools makes it easier to manage system users, packages, databases, etc.
fabtools includes a number of low-level actions, as well as a higher level interface called fabtools.require.
Using fabtools.require allows you to use a more declarative style, similar to Chef or Puppet.
Installing
To install the latest release from PyPI
$ pip install fabtools
To install the latest development version from GitHub
$ pip install git+git://github.com/ronnix/fabtools.git
Example
Here is an example fabfile.py using fabtools
from fabric.api import *
from fabtools import require
import fabtools
@task
def setup():
# Require some Debian/Ubuntu packages
require.deb.packages([
'imagemagick',
'libxml2-dev',
])
# Require a Python package
with fabtools.python.virtualenv('/home/myuser/env'):
require.python.package('pyramid')
# Require an email server
require.postfix.server('example.com')
# Require a PostgreSQL server
require.postgres.server()
require.postgres.user('myuser', 's3cr3tp4ssw0rd')
require.postgres.database('myappsdb', 'myuser')
# Require a supervisor process for our app
require.supervisor.process('myapp',
command='/home/myuser/env/bin/gunicorn_paster /home/myuser/env/myapp/production.ini',
directory='/home/myuser/env/myapp',
user='myuser'
)
# Require an nginx server proxying to our app
require.nginx.proxied_site('example.com',
docroot='/home/myuser/env/myapp/myapp/public',
proxy_url='http://127.0.0.1:8888'
)
# Setup a daily cron task
fabtools.cron.add_daily('maintenance', 'myuser', 'my_script.py')
