Remotia System ¶

Infra-structure for the automation of common admin tasks that uses remote SSH sessions to perform commands on remote machines.

Installation¶

pip install remotia

Configuration¶

In order to provide information for remotia configuration one must create a python configuration file with the name rconfig.py and put it in one of the following locations:

~
~/Dropbox
~/Dropbox/Home

Usage¶

The basic usage of the remotia command line should follow this syntax:

remotia ${TARGET} ${SCRIPT}

For example to run the DNS update script in the currently defined remote hosts use the following command:

remotia remote dns_update

You can also call direct execution methods that take the host instead of running a script on a set of hosts for this case the syntax would be:

remotia ${SCRIPT} ${HOST}

And an example can be the running of the backup operation of omni in a remote host, use this method with care as it may take some time to be executed:

remotia omni_backup ${HOST}

You can even add arguments to the script execution, to configure some of its behaviour like database location username or password, a simple DBMS setup could be done using:

remotia mysql_deploy ${HOST} ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}

Example¶

#!/usr/bin/python

SERVERS = (
    ("remote1.host.com", "root", "root"),
    ("remote2.host.com", "root", "root"),
    ("local1.host.com", "root", "root"),
    ("local2.host.com", "root", "root"),
    ("machine1.host.com", "root", "root")
)

SERVERS_MAP = {}

ALL_SERVERS = ()

REMOTE_SERVERS = (
    "remote1.host.com",
    "remote2.host.com"
)

LOCAL_SERVERS = (
    "local1.host.com",
    "local2.host.com"
)

MACHINE_SERVERS = (
    "machine1.host.com",
)

ALL_SERVERS = SERVERS_MAP.keys()
