Fabric deployment for Django

Project description

Repos

Quickstart

There is full working example: https://github.com/vmihailenco/fabdeploy-example.

Create fabconf.py:

from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf

class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
    django_dir = 'project_name'

class StagingConf(BaseConf):
    address = 'user@staging-host.com'

class ProdConf(BaseConf):
    address = 'user@prod-host.com'

Create fabfile.py:

from fabdeploy import monkey; monkey.patch_all()
from fabric.api import *
from fabdeploy.api import *; setup_fabdeploy()


@task
def user_create():
    users.create.run()
    ssh.push_key.run(pub_key_file='~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub')

@task
def deploy():
    pass

Fabdeploy uses two system (linux) users:

  • sudo_user to perform tasks that require sudo right (root by default).

  • user for other tasks (SSH user by default).

In Ubuntu root user is disabled by default. You can create special fabdeploy user using following command:

fab fabd.default_conf:address=user@host,sudo_user=user fabd.create_user

Then you should tell fabdeploy to use new sudo_user:

class ProdConf(BaseConf):
    sudo_user = 'fabdeploy'

List of available tasks:

fab --list

List of available variables:

fab fabd.debug

This is useful to test configuration:

$ fab fabd.conf:prod fabd.debug:django_path
/home/prj/src/prj

or:

$ fab fabd.conf:prod fabd.debug:cpu_count
2

or:

$ fab fabd.conf:prod fabd.debug:current_time
2011.11.27-13.40

To deploy project you may use:

$ fab fabd.conf:staging deploy
$ fab fabd.conf:prod deploy

Examples

Control where logs are stored

fabconf.py:

from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf

class ProdConf(DefaultConf):
    my_task__log_path = '/var/log/my_task'

fabfile.py:

from fabdeploy.api import Task

class MyTask(Task):
    def do(self):
        print self.conf.log_path

my_task = MyTask()

Output:

$ fab fabd.conf:prod my_task
/var/log/my_task

You can also temporarily set log path:

$ fab fabd.conf:prod my_task:log_path='/var'
/var

This works for all variables and all tasks.

Multiple databases

fabconf.py:

from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf

class ProdConf(DefaultConf):
    # default DB
    db_name = 'name1'
    db_user = 'user1'
    db_password = 'pass1'
    # logging DB
    loggingdb__db_name = 'name2'
    loggingdb__db_user = 'user2'
    loggingdb__db_password = 'pass2'

fabfile.py:

from fabdeploy import postgres

@task
def dump_db():
    postgres.dump.run()  # dump default DB
    postgres.dump.run(_namespace='loggingdb__')  # dump logging DB

Built-in tasks customization

Fabdeploy is written to be highly configurable. For example, there is built-in tar task, which by default packs whole project, uploads it to server and unpacks it there.

But you can freely use it to upload custom dirs:

from fabdeploy import tar

@task
def push_static():
    tar.push.run(
        src_dir=os.path.join(env.conf.django_ldir, 'static'),
        target_dir=posixpath.join(env.conf.django_dir, 'static'))

Different DBs for development and production

fabconf.py:

from fabdeploy import api
from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf

class DevConf(DefaultConf):
    address = 'user@localhost'
    db = getattr(fabdeploy, 'mysql')

class ProdConf(DefaultConf):
    address = 'user@localhost'
    db = getattr(fabdeploy, 'postgres')

fabfile.py:

@task
def execute():
    print env.conf.db.execute

Configuration

There are some conventions how to configure fabdeploy:

  • You should extend DefaultConf:

    from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf
    
    class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
        pass
  • Each value can contain Python formatting:

    class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
        supervisor__log_dir = '%(var_dir)s/log/supervisor'
  • Remote pathes should have posfix _path. You can and should use task fabd.mkdirs to create all remote dirs with one command. It will look like this:

    $ fab fabd.conf:staging_conf fabd.mkdirs
    mkdir --parents /path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2 /path/to/dir3
  • Remote dirs (e.g. var) have postfix _dir.

  • Local pathes have postfix _lpath. Local dirs have postfix _ldir. This is similar to Fabric cd and lcd tasks.

  • Dirs (postfix _dir and _ldir) and pathes (postfix _path and _lpath) can be Python lists. These lists will be passed to os.path.join() or posixpath.join(). Previous example can look like this:

    from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf
    
    class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
        supervisor__log_dir = ['%(var_dir)s', 'log', 'supervisor']
  • Function can be decorated with conf decorator. For example, current_time task looks like this:

    from fabdeploy.api import DefaultConf
    
    class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
        @conf
        def current_time(self):
            return datetime.datetime.utcnow().strftime(self.time_format)

    You can use it in your task like this:

    from fabdeploy.api import Task
    
    class MyTask(Task):
        def do(self):
            puts(self.conf.current_time)
  • You can configure each task individually:

    class BaseConf(DefaultConf):
        postgres__db_name = 'postgresql_db'  # module=postres
        mysql__db_name = 'mysql_db'          # module=mysql
        mysql__create_db__db_user = 'root'   # module=mysql, task=create_db

Configuration is stored in task instance variable self.conf. Each task has its own copy of configuration. Configuration variables are searched in following places:

  • task keyword argument var (fab task:foo=bar);

  • task instance method var() decorated with @conf();

  • key var in env.conf, which is populated by fabd.conf task;

  • ask user to provide variable var using fabric prompt.

Global configuration is stored in env.conf.

Writing your task

Your task is class-based fabric class except fabdeploy manages configuration for you:

from fabric.api import puts
from fabdeploy.api import Task, conf

class MessagePrinter(Task):
    @conf
    def message(self):
        if 'message' in self.conf:
            return self.conf.message
        return 'Hi!'

    def do(self):
        if self.conf.secret == '123':
            puts(self.conf.message)
        else:
            puts('huh?')

message_printer = MessagePrinter()

Then you can run this task like this:

$ fab message_printer
> secret = 123
Hi!
$ fab message_printer:message='Hello world!'
> secret = 123
Hello world!

Fabfile example

Typical fabfile may look like this:

from fabdeploy import monkey; monkey.patch_all()
from fabric.api import *
from fabdeploy.api import *; setup_fabdeploy()

@task
def install():
    users.create.run()
    ssh.push_key.run(pub_key_file='~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub')

    system.setup_backports.run()
    system.install_common_software.run()

    with settings(warn_only=True):
        postgres.create_role.run()
        postgres.create_db.run()
        postgres.grant.run()

    nginx.install.run()

    for app in ['supervisor']:
        pip.install.run(app=app)


@task
def setup():
    fabd.mkdirs.run()

    nginx.push_gunicorn_config.run()
    nginx.restart.run()

    supervisor.d()


@task

    fabd.mkdirs.run()
    release.create.run()

    postgres.dump.run()

    virtualenv.pip_install.run(app='gunicorn')
    virtualenv.make_relocatable.run()

    django.syncdb.run()
    django.migrate.run()
    django.collectstatic.run()

    release.activate.run()

    supervisor.update.run()
