API Example

This example API deploy should get you started with pyinfra’s API mode. If you are not familiar with CLI based deploys already, I advise you at least scan through the building a deploy guide.

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all() # async things (speed++, optional)

# Enable pyinfra logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
logging.getLogger('pyinfra').setLevel(logging.INFO)

# First we setup some inventory we want to target
# the first argument is a tuple of (list all all hosts, global/ALL data)
inventory = Inventory(
    ([
        'centos6.pyinfra',
        # Host-specific data can be attached in inventory
        ('centos7.pyinfra', {'systemd': True}),
        'ubuntu14.pyinfra',
        'debian7.pyinfra',
        'openbsd58.pyinfra'
    ], {}),
    bsd=([
        'openbsd57.pyinfra'
    ], {
        # Group-specific data can be attached like so
        'app_dir': '/opt/pyinfra/bsd'
    }),
    centos=([
        'centos6.pyinfra',
        'centos7.pyinfra'
    ], {}),
    ssh_user='vagrant',
    ssh_key='./files/insecure_private_key'
)

# Now we create a new config (w/optional args)
config = Config(
    FAIL_PERCENT=50,
    TIMEOUT=1
)

# Setup the pyinfra state for this deploy
state = State(inventory, config)

# Connect to all the hosts
connect_all(state)

add_op(
    state, server.user,
    'pyinfra',
    home='/home/pyinfra',
    shell='/bin/bash',
    sudo=True
)

# Ensure the state of files
add_op(
    state, files.file,
    '/var/log/pyinfra.log',
    user='pyinfra',
    group='pyinfra',
    mode='644',
    sudo=True
)

# Ensure the state of directories
add_op(
    state, files.directory,
    '/tmp/email',
    user='pyinfra',
    group='pyinfra',
    mode='755',
    sudo=True
)

# Copy local files to remote host
add_op(
    state, files.put,
    'files/file.txt',
    '/home/vagrant/file.txt'
)

# And finally we run the ops
run_ops(state)

# We can also get facts for all the hosts
facts = get_facts(state, 'os')
print(json.dumps(facts, indent=4))
