Hello, I wanted to let everyone know about a tool I have been working on. I'm calling it gantry (a type of crane that I see every day on my commute on BART to SF and inspired by crane). I started working on it after seeing crane (https://github.com/getwoven/crane) and seeing the possibilities while also suffering the frustration of using capistrano for deployment of a few non-rails apps (PHP to be specific). I was longing for something simpler and found fabric (http://fabfile.org) but I was disappointed when I learned that all commands are executed sequentially (this has since been fixed I believe). I also wanted to spend more time with clojure and see how it could be used for system administration and scripting.
Gantry comes in two parts. The first is a command line tool and task macro. You define tasks and the commands specified in those tasks (provided by gantry.run) are run in parallel on each host using agents/ send-off. Here is a quick start: $ curl -L https://github.com/downloads/drsnyder/gantry/gantry > gantry; chmod +x gantry $ cat > gantryfile (use 'gantry.run) (task hello (run (format "echo \"hello %s at $(hostname)\"" (:name (get-args (get-config)))))) ^D $ ./gantry -H one.myhost.com,two.myhost.com -t hello -s name=bob INFO [one.myhost.com] hello bob at one.myhost.com INFO [two.myhost.com] hello bob at two.myhost.com The second part is a library for running commands remotely on one or more hosts. Here are some examples: (use 'gantry.run) (remote "host.com" "yum install -y atop") (remote "host.com" "yum install -y atop" {:user "deployer"}) (remote* ["host.com", "host2.com"] "yum install -y atop" {:user "deployer"}) (upload "host.com" "filea" "/tmp") (upload "host.com" ["filea", "fileb"] "/tmp" {:port 222}) (upload* ["host.com", "host2.com"] ["filea", "fileb"] "/tmp" {:id "/ home/deployer/my-key"}) The jar is in clojars. Use [gantry "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"] in your dependencies. See https://github.com/drsnyder/gantry for the documentation and source. Feedback welcome!
