A utility for automating multi-host, multi-environment software builds and deployments.

Project description

batou helps you to automate your application deployments:

  • You create a model of your deployment using a simple but powerful Python API.
  • You configure how the model applies to hosts in different environments.
  • You verify and run the deployment with the batou utility.

Getting started with a new project is easy:

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
git init
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flyingcircusio/batou/main/bootstrap | sh
git commit -m "Start a batou project."

Here's a minimal application model:

$ mkdir -p components/myapp
$ cat > components/myapp/component.py
from batou.component import Component
from batou.lib.python import VirtualEnv, Package
from batou.lib.supervisor import Program

class MyApp(Component):

    def configure(self):
        venv = VirtualEnv('2.7')
        self += venv
        venv += Package('myapp')
        self += Program('myapp',
            command='bin/myapp')

And here's a minimal environment:

$ mkdir environments
$ cat > environments/dev/environment.cfg
[environment]
connect_method = local

[hosts]
localhost = myapp

To deploy this, you run:

$ ./batou deploy dev

Check the detailed documentation to get going with a more ambitious project.

Features

  • Separate your application model from environments
  • Supports idempotent operation for incremental deployments
  • Deploy to multiple hosts simultaneously
  • Automated dependency resolution for multi-host scenarios
  • No runtime requirements on your application
  • Encrypted secrets with multiple access levels: store your SSL certificates, SSH keys, service secrets and more to get true 1-button deployments.
  • Deploy to local machines, Vagrant, or any SSH host
  • Broad SSH feature support by using OpenSSH through execnet
  • Only few dependencies required on the remote host
  • Ships with a library of components for regularly needed tasks
  • self-bootstrapping and self-updating - no additional scripting needed

License

Hacking

  • Make sure mercurial and subversion are installed and in $PATH.
  • Run ./develop.sh to create a local virtualenv with everything set up.
  • Run the test suite using: bin/tox
  • Build the documentation using: cd doc; make
  • Set up GPG for the examples with export GNUPGHOME=<DIRECTORY OF BATOU HERE>/src/batou/secrets/tests/fixture/gnupg
  • Make sure age is installed and in $PATH for age encryption support.

Development and release process

  • Changes should be accompanied with a changelog entry. Use ./changelog.sh to create one.
  • Releasing will create a tag and publishes the package to pypi. Use ./release-this.sh to create a release.
