Deployment and website management

We use gunicorn and whitenoise to serve static files.

• https://github.com/evansd/whitenoise

Fabric helps to run remote management commands.

• http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/

At the project root, type fab <TAB> and see the suggested actions.

Available commands so far:

• create a new client
• install a new Abelujo instance
• update a specific project (fully, or a light update without calling apt, npm nor bower)
• start, stop, restart a website
• check the status of one or all projects
• check how the projects are up to date with the main branch (how many commits behind)
• upload a file to the server
• run any make command in a specific project
• check a bower package version
• ...

Setup Sentry (Raven)

See the save_variables fabric task and how the settings read the Sentry token in a sentry.txt file if present. Fabric is in charge of sending the token to a remote instance on its installation.

Test with python manage.py raven test.
