Webfaction fabric2 helper scripts
=================================

These scripts utilise the `Webfaction
API <https://docs.webfaction.com/xmlrpc-api/>`__ via python and `Fabric
2 <http://www.fabfile.org/>`__ to conveniently run some common tasks.

Presently there are just a small selection, mostly related to managing
letsencrypt certificates.

You could install this in your system python3, into your virtualnv or
into your pipenv as a dev dependency

Development
-----------

I had a pretty comprehensive and well tested set of scripts for fabric
1.x enabling provisioning and deploying django projects onto webfaciton
hosts. As I slowly move them to fabric2 I’m intending to share them
here.
