Hi, I'm thinking about the best way to provide automatic deployment for the Django project I'm working on. Its a pretty big one and has lots of dependencies, lots of SO packages, Celeryd and other daemons, SO tweaks... and also several people will need to have installed it on their servers (they are sysadmins, not Django developers), Therefore I want to automate as much as possible the installation and updating processes, to minimize their pain and also because of having homogeneity.
As I've been a sysadmin myself for many years I've already written some bash scripts that automates all the deployment. But in order to make it more 'natural' I'm planning to integrate those scripts within the Django project as management commands. To illustrate my ultimate goal this is how I imagine the workflow: sudo pip install django-my_project my_project-admin.sh clone project_name path sudo python manage.py installrequirements sudo python manage.py setuppostgres python manage.py syncdb python manage.py migrate python manage.py createsuperuser sudo python manage.py setupapache python manage.py collectstatic sudo python manage.py setupceleryd sudo python manage.py createtincserver python manage.py updatetincd sudo python manage.py setupfirmware python manage.py loaddata firmwareconfig sudo python manage.py restartservices Any thought on this? How do you automate your deployments? I heard about fabric lots of times but never used it. Will fabric be helpful in my case? Does it has any advantage for writing my own scripts? Or maybe there are already some existing tools for automating deployment of most common services like Apache, celeryd ..,?
