Webfaction fabric2 helper scripts
These scripts utilise the Webfaction API via python and Fabric 2 to conveniently run some common tasks.
Presently there are just a small selection, mostly related to managing letsencrypt certificates.
Installation
You could install this in your system python3, into your virtualnv or into your pipenv as a dev dependency
$ pipenv install –dev webfaction_fab2
Usage
Generate a fabfile.py in the root of your project, something like this:
$ pipen run python -m wf_fab2.makefab
And then start using the commands
$ pipenv run fab -l

Development
I had a pretty comprehensive and well tested set of scripts for fabric 1.x enabling provisioning and deploying django projects onto webfaciton hosts. As I slowly move them to fabric2 I’m intending to share them here.
