Re: Fabric as a WebApp

Thanks. Can you explain a little bit more on how celery can help stream the output prompts from Fabric commands for me to input them, so that it continues its process?

E.g. of a Fabric task where we need to get the latest git commit of a puppet configuration (this will prompt for the root password):

from fabric import task

@task

def get_latest_git_commit_puppet(context):

    context.run("su -c 'cd /etc/puppet && git rev-parse --short HEAD~2'")

Use celery. It is easy to implement.

Hi all,

I'm working on a Django project that puts Fabric into a webpage. The idea is simple, make a Fabric task that automates remote code execution from a webpage to authenticated/connected/authorized servers/machines/switches with a click of a button on a webpage with Fabric.

Example usage and quick tutorial on how to use the Fabric package: FabFile Tutorial — Qoyyuum (buymeacoffee.com)

This idea works but up to the point where I really need to respond to the commands executed on server-side (e.g. confirmation or it awkwardly re-prompting for sudo password). The webpage doesn't get this prompt for me to respond to, or rather, it won't stream the output from server side to django view side, enabling interactivity.

Some suggested to use Async but I have no idea how to apply this: Asynchronous support | Django documentation | Django (djangoproject.com) 

If anyone can explain how to apply Async (or other solution) to enable interactivity to an automation script, I appreciate it. Thanks.
