Running your script on a remote machine as if it were on your local one.
By syncing your files on the local machine to the remote and executing from there.
RemoteRun also provides the ability to continue from your last step, that means if you quit during the process you can do RemoteRun and continue from where you left!
RemoteRun requires Python 3 (python 2 might work), rsync and ssh installed on your system (and your path)
pip install remote-run
cd /your/project/path
remoterun --init
This will initiate your .remoterunrc configuration file, and .remoterunignore ignore file (listing all the files that will not be transfered to the remote host).
They should initially look like this:
For .remtoerunrc (YAML style) which will give you a good head-start. Note the command section will run a command in your local machine, and of course remote will run a command on your remote machine.
host: user@host
remote_path: /remote/path/without/trailing/slash
steps:
- name: sync to the remote
command: [rsync, -a, --exclude-from=.remoterunignore, ./, "{host}:{remote_path}"]
- name: test echo on the remote
remote: [echo, test]
- name: sync back from the remote
command: [rsync, -a, --exclude-from=.remoterunignore, "{host}:{remote_path}/", ./]
For .remoterunignore
.remoterunignore
.remoterun_lock
.remoterunrc
.git
.gitignore
.DS_Store
After you tailored all the configs for your project, just run remoterun and everything just works!
