OK, I am desperate enough to finally post a github question.
SUMMARY:
Django deploy -> digital ocean droplet -> nginx and gunicord + git pull
It works, but manually writing all the commands is way to tedious + error prone. I have been trying to find a suitable tool ever since, and kinda need some advice.
SOO FAR:
I have tried Fabric, BUUUT complexity and simplicity baffles me. Some tutorial are way to trivial, some are way too complex and 95 % of them seems to be outdated(this seems relevant in this case , because syntax has changed drastically)
In addition, the most basic example in docs don't work no matter how many times I have tried to correct it(ssh connection vie password).
P.S. I am completely new to devops, so a lot of things is confusing for me
Beside that, I have tried to dive into some other tools like bash scripting and ansible and dropped them shortly after, mainly due to them not being as alluring as Fabric seems to be.
My question is!
Should I continue tring to solve Fabric, or is there some other commonly used way to make deployment a simple and enjoyable matter while preserving the functionality?
::btw I am windows 10 user put prefer to use git bash, could this be the problem for Fabric(it seemed not being able to recognize ls command and I used DIR instead)
I typically recommend using ansible over fabric unless you are working with *nix. If you have to work with AIX, Solaris, HPUX, fabric can offer you more flexibility since you don't need python on the server. It will take about two-days to get up to speed on ansible, but if you're already using django, jinja2 (the templating language used by anible) should be a snap.

I'm admittedly new to Netsuite, so this may be obvious, although I've been unable to find anything specific one way or the other. In fact, I don't even attend any training until next week, but I'm trying to get part of my development environment setup with one of the editors/IDEs I prefer. I know that Netsuite offers an Eclipse plugin, but I'm not an Eclipse fan. I'd prefer to use either WebStorm or TextMate. (I'm on MacOS Sierra)
I tried installing the WebStorm plugin, but it's throwing an exception and is not functional. I submitted a bug on GitHub, but what I'd really like to know is if it's possible for me to write my own script to upload/download files to the cabinet, so I could just roll my own feature in TextMate. Is this possible, and if so, how? (Just a link to the docs is perfectly fine)
In other words, is it possible via their API, to submit changes to a script I've been working on in another editor/IDE? Or interact with our cabinet? (Not sure if I'm using the proper NS verbiage, but hopefully you get my intent) I'm thinking about writing a Python script, that accepts a local script path as a parameter, that will then get submitted to our cabinet. Thanks for the help in advance.
I wrote a plugin for JetBrains IDEs (I use WebStorm specifically though) that mimics NetSuite's Eclipse plugin. Feel free to take a look. It is open source and has ~1500 downloads at the current moment.

If you are the same person that opened this issue (https://github.com/Topher84/NetSuite-Tools-For-WebStorm/issues/7), it has been closed and was due to using an older version of WebStorm.
I don't like eclipse personally, so I just make my scripts in whatever and use Netsuite's script backend to upload the scripts as 'new' when I'm done. If I want to change them, simply use their backend again to 'edit' the script. You'll see a simple editor, where you can change things, or you just copy and paste what you have in there. It's a little more work than something integrated, but it does work..
It has been a year since I last setup a new project with Django and I remember automatizing it was pretty painful at the time. When searching the subject these days I can't find anything really helpful.
So, what is the latest in automatic setup of Django local development environment?
By that I mean maybe some orchestration with something like chef or juju to setup a vagrant box or similar to develop on a local system with a database like PostgreSQL and other system level tools (cache, queue...). Maybe with automatic connection to a github repository or equivalent. Anything that would help start developing right away and also deploy the environment on a server without pain.
Does something like that exist today and it has escaped me? Or is it something that still needs to be improved? Setting up a good development environment for Django has changed a lot since the early days of virtual environment and sqlite, and even since a few years ago.
Edit: I have accepted the only answer because... it's the only answer. And it's good enough. But feel free to add any new answer since this one, although interesting, does not satisfy my needs.
It looks what vagrant-django-template is pretty good solution for you.
TL;DR
How do I encapsulate my Apache/PHP/MySQL/Wordpress installation in an environment or sandbox?
In my absence the designers-that-be have decreed that we use Wordpress for our newest project, as opposed to the Django-type applications I am familiar with. Another developer has already started making a custom theme, but now he's gone and I'm supposed to take over his work but I have no experience whatsoever with LAMP or Wordpress.
I thought it would be a good start to encapsulate the project into a proper standalone repository that I can copy and share between machines and people, put on github, etc, and most importantly: it needs to run in a virtual-env instance (or equivalent), so it doesn't mess up anybody's other projects, we can run multiple versions, etc.
Can anybody help me with that? At the moment it looks like the required files are spread out over my whole computer, I keep having to touch stuff in my root-directory, I need sudo simply to start and stop the *##+ing server, it's complete lunacy.
Thank you!
Take a look at virtPHP, phpenv and php-build for creating isolated environments. As for typing sudo every time you need to start or stop the server, this is the right way of doing things.
Hey!! I'm looking for python bindings for opensg 1.8.. I haven't been able to find it. I have read somethin about pyopengs. Is it still available? I am working on linux platform (ubuntu). If anyone could direct me to it I would be grateful.
The homepage and source code is on google code: pyOpenSG Project
As one of the creators of pyOpenSG, I can tell you that it is definitely still alive and kicking. We use it in production software all the time. It has become so stable for us though that we don't often update the code base. The python binding generator that we use (py++) just keeps everything working between revisions.
I'm updating a 0.5.1 complete_project to 0.7beta3 + virtualenv + pip + fabric.
I have converted my project into multiple stand-alone applications and I have everything being pulled down by pip from a requirements.txt file.
I am now moving the code over and so far can get the Welcome page and perform a log-in, but then it breaks, due, it appears, to the introduction of Group support and the refactoring of Tribes into Tribes and Topics.
Has anyone successfully made this move? If you did, how did you handle migrating your data? What should I be looking out for? Anyone have a checklist or list of steps? What other exciting challenges do I have to look forward to?
The short answer as far as I'm aware (and I've been following Pinax development for some time now) is that there is no straightforward path to upgrade the project from 0.5.1 to 0.7beta3. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the code, but this is the process I would use based on my limited experience:
Start by using the social_project/ that ships with the latest version of Pinax. Copy into it any changes you made to the settings.py file as well as any custom apps you have.
The templates and media have moved to folders outside of the projects, but if you customized any of them (I'm sure you did) take the custom ones and drop them into the template folders in your project to override those in the default theme folders. You should compare them to those in the theme folders to see what changes may need to be made to keep up with changes in the apps.
The next step would be to do the same thing with urls.py copying any customizations over the one provided by the project.
Try getting it running at this point with a fresh DB. Hopefully any errors will point you in the right direction to stuff that you might have missed or not known about.
Once you gotten it running most of the DB tables should be the same (I believe) except as you mentioned the Tribes stuff. Migrating the data, though, is still beyond what I've had to deal with.
Disclaimer: I've been following development but never had to perform an upgrade quite this big. Good luck and (obviously) back up your work and data before trying to port it all over.
See the documentation and code ( http://github.com/pinax/pinax/tree/master ) for more details. The code is a convenient (though tedious) way to watch the evolution between 0.5.1 and 0.7beta3, for what that's worth.
