A recipe to provide facts about the context a buildout is running in
Project description
Introduction
This package provides information about the host you are running buildout on.
Exposed Parameters
- hostname
The hostname of the machine buildout is running on, as returned by socket.gethostname()
- fqdn
The fully qualified domain of the machine buildout is running on, as return by socket.getfqdn(). If no fqdn is available, this will be the same as hostname.
- interface.X.address
The IP address of the network interface X.
- user.name
The name of the account running buildout
- user.uid
The uid running buildout. Numerical.
- user.gid
The gid running buildout. Numerical.
- user.home
The home directory of the user running buildout
- vcs.type
The type of checkout that buildout is being run from. Supports Mercurial (‘hg’), Git (‘git’) or Subversion (‘svn’), otherwise will be ‘unknown’.
- vcs.branch
The branch or that that buildout is being run from. Will be ‘unknown’ for unsupported VCS.
Using facts
This example uses the missingbits echo recipe to print information about the current machine:
[buildout] parts = echo [facts] recipe = isotoma.recipe.facts [echo] recipe = missingbits:echo echo = The hostname is ${facts:hostname} The fdqn is ${facts:fdqn} The main IP address is ${facts:interface.eth0.address} The VCS type is ${facts:vcs.type} and branch is ${facts:vcs.branch} The user is ${facts:user.name} and their home dir is ${facts:user.home}
