OMG I have fallen into a very deep deep deployment rabbit hole and just when I thought for sure I was finished Sebastien gave a talk at Montreal Python on Monday on Fabric and two of his creations, Cuisine and Watchdog. Cuisine adds Chef like abilities to Fabric and Watchdog is monitoring system that appears to be pretty awesome, but I have not had a chance to dig it yet...
If anyone wants to check out Cuisine and Watchdog here are some links... Very interesting and all Python... Sebastien also created something called "sink" as well a while back that is sort of like 3 way rsync but in Python... I am work on break my original commitment to a fabric based web2py deployment down into "parts". This will allow people to start using the pieces and I can do some of the other stuff that needs to get done around here. Needless to say, deployment seems to be a pretty exciting area right now. Cuisine fills some of the Fabric shortcomings and Watchdog adds some super powers. Watchdog could be good for the client looking for GRC like capabilities... FYI the presentation is 145 slides... http://www.slideshare.net/ffunction/fabric-cuisine-and-watchdog-for-server-administration-in-python code https://github.com/sebastien/cuisine https://github.com/sebastien/watchdog Cheers, Enjoy Chris On 11 jan, 17:23, Christopher Steel <chris.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > If anyone else is working on a fabric deployment setup for web2py I > would be interested in taking a look at it. > > I have the beginnings on one that with the following features: > > installs > virtualenvvirtualenvwrapper > creates a project usingvirtualenvwrapper > installs mercurial and web2py to the virtualenv (project). > > It currently it runs on a local (development) OS X based system and a > remote (staging) Ubuntu Virtual Machine.
