django-fabric is written to make writing fabfiles for django projects easier and faster. It contains the basic stuff one would expect from a django setup with git and virtualenv. The code expects the project to have a certain structure as seen below.
project-dir/
venv/ # virtualenv
project-package/
manage.py
fabfile.py
Create a fabfile.py in your project directory. You can see example of a fabfile below. If you
run into problems with settings where fabric cannot locate settings add
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) to your fabfile.
from fabric.decorators import task
from fabric.state import env
from django_fabric import App
env.user = 'web'
env.hosts = ['server1.example.com']
site = App(
project_paths={
'prod': '/var/www/example_site',
},
urls={
'prod': 'http://example.com'
},
restart_command={
'prod': 'restart prod'
},
project_package='example',
test_settings='example.settings.test',
)
deploy = task(site.deploy)
test = task(site.test)
This will make you able to run fab deploy:prod and fab test.
There are some, or at least one at this moment, classes that have specific restart routines. They are listed below:
