I found myself repeating the same scripts over and over again, so I decided to do something about it. Current the library is very rough, but should work for now. Before you use it, take a look at the source to make sure it's not going to do anything unexpected for your particular use case.

1. Install source:

   pip install https://github.com/samdolan/django-fab-deployment

2. Ensure succesfull installation:

   python -c "import fab_deploy"

• Ubuntu 10.04
• virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper
• Django
• uWSGI
• nginx
• supervisor
• postgres 9.1

Copy over the example configuration file in fab_deploy/fabfile.yaml.tmpl and update it to suit your project.

NOTE The db and web can be on the same machine, but we'll still use tcp communication.

In your fabfile.py/fabfile/__init__.py file. add the following:

from fabric.api import *

# Get all of the tasks defined by the fabric library
# You can narrow this down to by importing them seperately, so
# they don't pollute the fab list.
from fab_deploy.contrib import *
from fab_deploy.contrib.conf import set_yaml_config
from fab_deploy.contrib.roles import set_role_group

# change to whatever you named your yaml config to
set_yaml_config(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'fabfile.yaml'))

@task
def dev():
    # Or whatever was defined in your servers directive in the yaml file.
    # I suggest creating a new task for each of these.
    set_role_group('dev')

Run fab -l and you should see a list of different operations. Some examples:

Setup a dev server:

fab dev servers.setup

To upgrade the dev server:

fab dev servers.update

Feel free to send pull requests with new libraries/suggestions. I'm planning to slowly transfer this into a highly configurable fabric system. Also, if you see any issues with how the configuration is setup don't hesitate to open an issue.
