The way I deploy to localhost now is to run ssh on my local machine. That way I can access my local machine "remotely" in fabric scripts. On my mac laptop, here is how I enabled remote logins via ssh. Go to System Preferences, choose Sharing. Select Remote login. That's it. This approach seems to fit into the fabric model well.
I used to deploy locally by following the advice at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6725244/running-fabric-script-locally. Basically, I would assign env.run = run or env.run = local, depending on where I was deploying, perhaps in a task something like (warning: untested code): ``` env.run = run @task def localhost(): env.run = local @task def do_something(): env.run('path/to/myscript.py') ``` Then I would do invoke it like: ``` fab local do_something ``` This got smellier when I started rsyncing, since I had to write a local version and remote version of rsync. Then when I started using `fabric.api.get`, I realized that I would have to write a API compatible version of `get` and `put` if I wanted to continue down this path. That pushed me to find the better way described above. Hope that helps. -Todd On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 4:05 AM, Jorge Vargas <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello, > > We are using fabric for development as well as deployment and I'm > wondering how people are doing command like this. > > @task > def load_fixtures(): > """Load initial data.""" > run("venv/bin/python data/fixtures.py") > > This code should work for both the developer machine (ie: run local) and > the deployment machine (ie: use run) > > So far what I have done is something like > > @task > def install_db(command=local): > """@onetime install of the database""" > with prefix("source venv/bin/activate"): > command("python manage.py syncdb --migrate") > > However that's a bit of a problem as I can't call that command from fab > just from other fabric scripts. > > _______________________________________________ > Fab-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user > > -- Todd DeLuca http://todddeluca.com http://wall.hms.harvard.edu/
