Build and deploy¶
Once you have the first version of your site configured, you need to deploy it.
Building packages¶
You can build a Pip package with
progfiguration build --progfigsite-modname progfigsite pip,
run from your virtual environment.
You can copy the result to the node(s) you created,
install it with pip,
and run progfigsite apply NODENAME,
and your node will apply its configuration!
You can also build a zipapp package with
progfiguration build --progfigsite-modname progfigsite pyz progfigsite.pyz.
This can be run directly, the same way a Python script can be run,
and it includes both your progfigsite module
and the core progfiguration module in one file!
You can copy it to your remote node(s) and run it with python3 progfigsite.pyz.
However, this is a bit cumbersome. Building Pip packages is a little slow, and it requires manual steps to copy and apply the configuration.
Building and deploying in one step¶
Rather than calling core progfiguration with progfiguration build,
you can call your own site’s deploy method with progfigsite deploy.
This will create a zipapp, copy it to the remote system(s),
and run it,
all in one step!
This does require SSH host keys to be set correctly in
~/.ssh/known_hosts on your controller.
(In the future, we want to read ssh host keys from node objects,
but this hasn’t been written yet.)
progfigsite deploy --nodes node1 --apply.
Custom build code¶
Progfiguration is designed to support custom packages,
like RPMs or APKs.
See the context manager progfiguration.progfigbuild.ProgfigsitePythonPackagePreparer.
Next steps¶
That’s it! You’ve created and deployed a simple progfigsite.
Add the rest of your hosts, groups, roles, and functions to the inventory.
Read User Reference for a more complete exploration of the progfigsite API.
Read Progfiguration design to learn about the goals design decisions of the project.
Add a link to your progfigsite package source to Real world progfigsites, if you wish.
If you like this software, please deploy something weird with it.
