Install deploytool
$ pip install deploytoolAdd a fabfile.py in the root folder of your Django project. An example can be found here:
https://github.com/leukeleu/deploytool
Prepare by having passwords at hand for these users:
- Remote provisioning user (ssh, sudo)
- Remote MySQL root user (for database provisioning)
- project user (deployment tasks)
- MySQL project user (deployment tasks)
- Django admin user (Django admin access)
Provision & deploy the project:
- Run setup ('fab staging setup')
- Manage access ('fab staging keys')
- First deploy ('fab staging deploy')
The deploy can be paused at will at several predefined moments. If you pause the deploy, you get thrown into a (slightly crippled) shell session on the remote server. When you exit from the remote, the deploy will continue where it left off.
$ fab staging deploy:pause={pause_moment}Where {pause_moment} can be one of:
- before_deploy_source
- before_compass_compile
- before_create_virtualenv
- before_pip_install
- after_pip_install
- before_syncdb
- before_migrate
- before_restart
- after_restart
- test
Hooks are functions that can be run at predefined moments during the deploy. Hooks can be attached to the deploy-flow of an instance like this:
def before_syncdb(env, *args, **kwargs):
# do something useful before syncing the database
...
staging_items = {
'website_name': 'subdomain.example.com',
'project_name_prefix': 's-',
'environment': 'staging',
'before_syncdb': before_syncdb,
}.items()The available hooks are:
- before_deploy_source
- before_compass_compile
- before_create_virtualenv
- before_pip_install
- after_pip_install
- before_syncdb
- before_migrate
- before_restart
- after_restart
- test
When you set a compass_version number in your settings. The deploy task will compile your compass project locally, upload the locally generated root static dir to the remote. Remember that your compass config must compile your css to the root static dir of your django project. With this setting you can ignore your generated css files in your repository.
