passport 0.1.0

Light-weight configuration management using Consul

Passport
========
Passport is a command line tool for rendering templates containing information
gained from Consul's Service Discovery API and Key/Value database.

|Version| |Downloads| |License|

Installation
------------
Passport is available via pypi_ and can be installed with easy_install or pip:

.. code:: bash

pip install passport

Usage
-----
.. code:: bash

usage: passport.py [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--datacenter DATACENTER]
{kv,file} path destination

Example
-------

As an example, the following template is stored in the KV database as
``templates/memcached/memcached.conf``

.. code:: python

{% set nodes = ['%s:%s' % (r['Address'], r['ServicePort']) for r in consul.catalog.service('memcached')] %}

[memcached]
servers = {{ ','.join(nodes) }}

Invoking passport will render the file with a list of all memcached nodes to
``/etc/memcached.conf``.

.. code:: bash

passport kv templates/memcached/memcached.conf /etc/memcached.conf

And the output would look something like:

.. code:: ini

[memcached]
servers = 172.17.0.7:11211,172.17.0.8:11211

Template rendering is done via the `Tornado Template <https://tornado.readthedocs.org/en/latest/template.html>`_ engine.

Todo
----
- Add a *managed* mode where Passport will check for new services on a regular interval and when changes occur, update the rendered template and notify a process using HUP
- Add daemonization for managed mode
- Add the ability to specify pairs of templates/destinations in a single invocation
