fabulator

Fabulator provides a few fonctions, class, decorators and configuration to quickly write a fabfile.

Using mercurial, fabulator aims at deploying a django project onto your servers using fabric. For the moment, it supports debian (well, ubuntu), mysql, memcached, nginx, gunicorn.

You can specify a yaml configuration files depending on which kind of servers you're deploying your projects.

Examples

This, will install your project using fooproject.yaml. The install will clone your mercurial repos, create the database, install your vhost on nginx, restart nginx, restart memcached, start gunicorn.

$> fab prod:fooproject.yaml install

Here is the list of the supported tasks :

copy_vhost
delete_database
delete_repos
distro_
django_settings
install for the first install onto the machines
install_database
install_httpd_vhost
load_yaml
nginx_logs
preprod Preprod tasks
prod Prod tasks
pwd
reset
services_reload
services_restart
uname
update updates the code and everything else
update_database
update_hg
virtualenv
wsgi_restart

Configuration

I want the configuration file to be succint, and to have one file for one projet (with, "staging", "preprod" and "prod")

Here is an example :

--- #YAML:1.1


#can be "prod" or "preprod"
prod:
    distro:
        name: debian
        packages: [python-virtualenv, libmysqlclient15-dev]
    project:
        name: project_name
        normal_user: user
        sudo_user: sudo_user
        logs: project_name.log
        root_dir: /home/web/django/
        doc_root: /home/web/django/project_name/

    wsgi:
        type: gunicorn
        bin_name: gunicorn_django
        path: /path/to/desired/folder/for/your/virtualenv/bin
        pidfile: /where/to/store/your/pidfile
        logfile: /where/to/store/your/wsgi/logfile
        host: 127.0.0.1
        port: [9111]
        workers: 2
    httpd:
        type: nginx
        en: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

        restart:
            [memcached]
        reload:
            [nginx]
