Yaybu 0.1.23

Server deployment and configuration management in Python

Yaybu is a configuration management tool written in Python with the goal of helping you tame your servers, and we want you to do it with a smile.

You describe your infrastructure in a simple and flexible YAML-like language and Yaybu works out what needs to happen to deploy your updates.

We are on OFTC IRC (irc://irc.oftc.net/yaybu). Our docs are at yaybu.readthedocs.org.

Hacking on yaybu

To get a development environment with required dependencies:

python bootstrap.py
bin/buildout

Then write a sample config file called foo.yay:

resources.append:
  - File:
      name: /some_empty_file

  - Execute:
      name: hello_world
      command: touch /hello_world
      creates: /hello_world

And run it with:

./bin/yaybu foo.yay

Running the tests

NOTE: Currently the testrunner will try and run a set of integration tests against an ubuntu chroot. Because of that we are a bit ubuntu-specific. We’ll be fixing that asap!

To run the tests:

./bin/test discover
