Setup a sandbox environment for deployments based on zc.recipe.deployment

This recipe can be used to create deployments that are located in a sandbox. This is useful for deploying self-contained buildouts or for development setups that are going to use a deployment recipe in the future.

It is compatible to zc.recipe.deployment and can be used as a drop-in.

It is not intended for system-wide deployments, please use zc.recipe.deployment for that.

Detailed Documentation

Sandbox environments

This recipe creates a sandbox environment for deployments similar to zc.recipe.deployment. It is not intended for system-wide installation but as a sandboxed/development variation of the deployment pattern.

For production, system-wide deployments you can simply switch out a sandbox deployment part with a real deployment part.

A root directory is defined for the sandbox (by default this is parts/${name}) in which the following directory structure is created:

${root}/var/run ${root}/var/log ${root}/etc/ ${root}/etc/cron.d ${root}/etc/init.d ${root}/etc/logrotate.d

Additionally to be able to mix multiple deployments within a single sandbox we compute the following paths compatible to zc.recipe.deployment:

crontab-directory
logrotate-directory
rc-directory
run-directory
log-directory
etc-directory

Also, the user option is setup to match the current user.

Supported options

The recipe supports a single optional option:

root

Optional: The root directory of the sandbox. Will be computed from the section name if not given.

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe.

>>> import os
>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = deployment
...
... [deployment]
... recipe = gocept.recipe.deploymentsandbox
... """)

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> print system(buildout)
Installing deployment.
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts')
d deployment
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'deployment')
d etc
d var
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'deployment', 'etc')
d  cron.d
d  deployment
d  init.d
d  logrotate.d
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'deployment', 'var')
d log
d run
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'deployment', 'var', 'log')
d deployment
>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'deployment', 'var', 'run')
d deployment
