• network automation based on trigger
• converted trigger to run on python 3.x
• deleted some functions from original project (don't use ACLs, change mgmt etc..)

Project is created with:

• Linux
• emacs IDE
• python 3.x (any version > 3 should work)
• gpg2 (for tacacsrc module using gpg encryption)
• gnupg-agent

To run this project:

   $ dnf install conda emacs
   $ conda create -n py37 python=3.7
   $ ln -s .conda/envs .virtualenvs (this more for emacs venv)
   $ git clone https://github.com/drpott/trigger35.git
   $ cd trigger35
   $ conda activate py37
   $ pip install twisted crochet IPy pyasn1 SimpleParse pytz cryptography bcrypt textfsm
   $ gpg2 --gen-key (make sure user is 5 chars long and change in settings.py to reflect user/pass)

Following must be done to run this thing in your environment:

• create following directories in your conda env:

  cd $CONDA_PREFIX
  mkdir -p ./etc/conda/activate.d
  mkdir -p ./etc/conda/deactivate.d
  touch ./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
  touch ./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh
  

• edit files (set/unset env variables) in your conda env, eg:

   
   vi ./etc/conda/activate.d/env_vars.sh
   #!/bin/bash
     export TRIGGER_SETTINGS='/home/user/py-envs/trigger35/configs/settings.py'#trigger settings file location
     export TRIGGER_PREFIX='/home/user/py-envs/trigger35/configs'              #trigger looks for config files here eg. netdevices.json
     export TRIGGER_PATH='/home/user/py-envs/trigger35'                        #python looks for trigger modules here
     export PATH='/home/user/py-envs/trigger35/bin':$PATH         
     export GPGUSER='user'                                                     #gpg user created above or imported (must trust the key first)
     read -sp "Keyring key: " GPGKEY                                                 #secret key in variable bad idea
     echo -e
     export GPGKEY
  
   vi ./etc/conda/deactivate.d/env_vars.sh
   #!/bin/bash
     unset TRIGGER_SETTINGS
     unset TRIGGER_PREFIX
     unset TRIGGER_PATH
     unset GPGUSER
     unset GPGKEY
     export PATH=$(echo $PATH | sed -e 's/\/home\/<path to>\/trigger35\/bin://g')
     					
  

• update system /etc/hosts file if you need

• in your bin/*.py file you must add the path to trigger35, first liner:

  import sys
  sys.path.append(os.getenv('TRIGGER_PATH'))
  

Take emacs init.el from my environ dir, based on:

• https://realpython.com/emacs-the-best-python-editor/
• whilst in emacs:

    M-x venv-work on py37
    M-x elpy-config
