Hugh Esco commented on LIBCLOUD-394:
------------------------------------
Thank you for the prompt reply.
To be clear about my use case:
I have a puppet master to handle the work of configuration management. My
deployment script is intended merely to boot strap the new instance to be ready
to interact with the puppet master, configuring networking, locking it down
with its initial iptable rules, installing a certificate, updating
/etc/apt/sources.list, installing and configuring puppet and sending a csr to
the puppet master.
But I also have multiple clients for whom I want this same script to work. I
have been able to parameterize the deploy.py and the deploy.sh scripts, but the
bash script (which gets put out to the server by ScriptDeployment) needs an
account passed on the command line to sort out how to configure /etc/hosts and
the puppet.conf. That argument is required to calculate a FQDN on which much
else depends. account is a five or eight character arbitrary string in this
case.
The script I want to run starts on my local work station, and gets copied out
by deploy.py, from where I want to run it with an argument.
Specifically, my code looks like this:
{code}
# Run the puppet install script
deployment_script = "deploy-puppet-on-wheezy.sh"
# % account # attempts to pass this argument here blow up when the 'file'
can not be found
print 'Our deployment script is ', deployment_script
install_puppet = ScriptDeployment(open(os.path.expanduser( deployment_script
)).read(), server, account)
# attempts to pass account here are simply ignored
# Multiple-step deployment that installs our SSH key and Puppet
multideploy = MultiStepDeployment([install_key, install_puppet])
# Creates our new server, runs deployment steps.
node = driver.deploy_node(name=server, image=image, size=size,
deploy=multideploy)
{code}

> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compute
> Affects Versions: 0.13.1
> Reporter: Hugh Esco
>
> All attempts to pass a command line argument to my deployment script
> have failed and a review of the pydoc for this module reveal no clues
> about how to accomplish this task.
> I would urge a syntax like the following:
> class FileDeployment(Deployment)
> __init__(self, source, target, args)
> where args would be a scalar representation of the
> command line arguments to be passed to the deployment script.
