Runs the followintg sub-tasks, which can be run separately:

• create_user
• create_db
• upload_local_public_key
• generate_keypair
• show_public_key
• setup_virtualenv

Deploy a project, doing all the required magick.

Deploy, replace remote db and uploaded media with local copies.

Run arbitrary Django management command.

Kill Django instance, which should be restarted by supervisor process.

Set settings/_local.py value.

• host should be accessible through SSH
• local Git repository's remote origin with branch master is used by default to update the project code on the host
• we use PostgreSQL with admin user postgres, db name defaults to env.user
• remote user is in the main group of the same name
• env.poweruser has full sudo privileges, defaults to the running user's name and is used to create user, db, chown operations, etc
• env.type holds the host type and defaults to production and is used for choosing Django settings and PIP requirements files

• Basic development packages (gcc, autotools, openssl, zlib, etc)
• Some supervisor program to run Django WSGI process
• PostgreSQL server (matching local version, if you want to use custom dump files)
• Git, SVN, Mercurial, cURL

• local db access is granted to env.user (~/.pgpass might help)
• remote db access is granted to the system user with the same name
