fxq-geoffrey 1.0.8

The Provisioning Assistant for Devops, configure snippets as YML and call them from the geoffrey CLI

Geoffrey Devops CLI

Geoffrey is a Python based CLI application which provides a GUI for installing components, it is installed using pip and can be called simply with geoffrey. Calling it for the first time will trigger a new config to be created and you will be asked to provide a remote URL that contains a YML file for configuration.

A Sample YML can be seen in the FXQuants geoffrey Repository:

• https://bitbucket.org/snippets/fxquants/neGkz8/geoffrey

Getting Started

The best way to get started is to simply install Geoffrey. Once Installed start geoffrey with:

geoffrey

You will be asked to provide a config location, do so, for an example you could use the FXQuants Repo:

• https://bitbucket.org/!api/2.0/snippets/fxquants/neGkz8/master/files/choices.yml

Installing

I Highly recommend using PIPX to install geoffrey to ensure you do not run into issues with other environments and CLI apps installed using PIP
https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools/

Install geoffrey with pip into a Python3 Environment.

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install gcc wget python36 python36-pip python36-devel && \
pip3 install fxq-geoffrey

The YML that is loaded by Geoffrey is composed of sections containing tasks within a choices model the following is a simple model with some examples:

As you can see it's simple Bash Lines that are called with os.system(), they can be any valid bash.

I would recommend they are not overly complex however and more complex scripts should be housed separately for better Version Control.

choices:
  sections:
    - section:
        name: Hypervisor Tools
        tasks:
          - task:
              name: Open VM Tools
              default: y
              script:
                - yum -y install open-vm-tools
    - section:
        name: Operating System
        tasks:
          - task:
              name: Update All Packages
              default: y
              script:
                - yum -y update
          - task:
