fh-fablib

========= fh-fablib

Usage

1. Install pipx <https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/>__

2. Install uv using pipx install uv

3. Install fh-fablib

   a. pipx install fh_fablib if you're happy with the packaged version b. pipx install ~/Projects/fh-fablib if you have a local git checkout you want to install from

4. Add a fabfile.py to your project. A minimal example follows:

   .. code-block:: python

   import fh_fablib as fl
   
   fl.require("1.0.20241122.2")
   fl.config.update(host="[e-mail]")
   
   environments = [
       fl.environment(
           "production",
           {
               "domain": "example.com",
               "branch": "main",
               "remote": "production",
           },
           aliases=["p"],
       ),
   ]
   
   ns = fl.Collection(*fl.GENERAL, *fl.NINE, *environments)
   

5. Run fl hook to provide a default pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>__ configuration (or fl hook --force to override the dotfiles).

6. Run fl --list to get a list of commands.

Configuration values

• app = "app": Name of primary Django app containing settings, assets etc.
• base: pathlib.Path object pointing to the base dir of the project.
• branch: Branch containing code to be deployed.
• domain: Primary domain of website. The database name and cache key prefix are derived from this value.
• environments: A dictionary of environments, see below.
• environment: The name of the active environment or "default".
• force: Always force-push when deploying.
• host: SSH connection string (username@server)
• remote: git remote name for the server. Only used for the fetch task.

Adding or overriding bundled tasks

For the sake of an example, suppose that additional processes should be restarted after deployment. A custom deploy task follows:

.. code-block:: python

# ... continuing the fabfile above

@fl.task
def deploy(ctx):
    """Deploy once 🔥"""
    fl.deploy(ctx)  # Reuse
    with fl.Connection(fl.config.host) as conn:
        fl.run(conn, "systemctl --user restart other.service")

ns.add_task(deploy)

.. note::

Instead of making existing tasks more flexible or configurable it's preferable to contribute better building blocks resp. to improve existing buildings blocks to make it easier to build customized tasks inside projects.

Multiple environments

If you need multiple environments, add environment tasks as follows:

.. code-block:: python

import fh_fablib as fl

fl.require("1.0.20241122.2")
fl.config.update(host="[e-mail]")

environments = [
    fl.environment(
        "production",
        {
            "domain": "example.com",
            "branch": "main",
            "remote": "production",
        },
        aliases=["p"],
    ),
    fl.environment(
        "next",
        {
            "domain": "next.example.com",
            "branch": "next",
            "remote": "next",
        },
        aliases=["n"],
    ),
]

ns = fl.Collection(*fl.GENERAL, *fl.NINE, *environments)

Now, fl production pull-db, fl next deploy and friends should work as expected.

Building blocks
===============

The following functions may be used to build your own tasks. They cannot
be executed directly from the command line.

Running commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- ``run(c, ...)``: Wrapper around ``Context.run`` or ``Connection.run``
  which always sets a few useful arguments (``echo=True``, ``pty= True``
  and ``replace_env=False`` at the time of writing)


Checks
~~~~~~

- ``_check_branch(ctx)``: Terminates if checked out branch does not
  match configuration.
- ``_check_no_uncommitted_changes(ctx)``: Terminates if there are
  uncommitted changes on the server.


Helpers
~~~~~~~

- ``_local_env(path=".env")``: ``speckenv.env`` for a local env file
- ``_srv_env(conn, path)``: ``speckenv.env`` for a remote env file
- ``_python3()``: Return the path of a Python 3 executable. Prefers
  newer Python versions.
- ``_local_dotenv_if_not_exists()``: Ensure a local ``.env`` with a few
  default values exists. Does nothing if ``.env`` exists already.
- ``_local_dbname()``: Ensure a local ``.env`` exists and return the
  database name.
- ``_dbname_from_dsn(dsn)``: Extract the database name from a DSN.
- ``_dbname_from_domain(domain)``: Mangle the domain to produce a string
  suitable as a database name, database user and cache key prefix.
- ``_concurrently(ctx, jobs)``: Run a list of shell commands
  concurrently and wait for all of them to terminate (or Ctrl-C).
- ``_random_string(length, chars=None)``: Return a random string of
  length, suitable for generating secret keys etc.
- ``require(version)``: Terminate if fh_fablib is older.
- ``terminate(msg)``: Terminate processing with an error message.


Deployment
~~~~~~~~~~

- ``_deploy_django``: Update the Git checkout, update the virtualenv.
- ``_deploy_staticfiles``: Collect staticfiles.
- ``_rsync_static``: rsync the local ``static/`` folder to the remote,
  optionally deleting everything which doesn't exist locally.
- ``_nine_restart``: Restart the systemd control unit.
