Re: [Fab-user] Basic questoins

[Peter Bee]

Thank you Kevin. It's too late - I had been on the way with Cygwin/MinGW

 

Now I have gone through all the pain steps (Fabric->SSH->Cygwin, Fabric->Paramiko->pycrypto->MinGW <to fix build errors>), all required compoents (as I know) have been installed.

 

But when I tried my first test, I got the following error:

 

E:\fabric\test>fab test deploy

It seems to me that the error is on the confituraiton or component installation, it didn't really touch any of the real code. Is that right?

 

I see it complained about 'paramiko', but I did have it installed successfully. Here is the output of the installation:

Can anybody see what's the problem I have here?

Qestion1: are there any SSH server native to Windows, I mean from Microsoft? What is the best SSH server we can install on our remote Windows that the Fabric system can talk (or work) with? I don't think I need or want to do the same installation as I did to setup Fabric.

 

Question2: do I need 'git' account when I set SSH server with Cygwin? If so, what's the purpose for the account?

 

 

Thanks,

Peter

You might try CopSSH: http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/27

I am shooting to setup Fabric on a basic Windows system, but I have problem to locate a proper SSH2 server, does anybody have recommend? Unless it's free, I probably will try with eval version then buy.

Hi Jeff,

 

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.

 

It's definitly good news to me that Fabric can target Windows systems (we are using Win 2008 Server R2, I hope it's under the coverage of Fabric targets). But my search (including user samples) are all about targeting Linux/Unix, do you have any source of targeting Windows?

 

To my understand, we only need to install Fabric/Python/Paramiko on our pushing (local) system, are there any requirements (except SSH2 server) on the remote systems?

 

You mentioned to support single command invokation, should all standard systems (Windows and Linux <RedHat 5.4>) have that feature? How can I verify that? Sorry for this question, I guess it's too basic (for you), but I just want to ensure that I have all the requirements before I move too far. 

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Fabric can be run on any platform that supports Python, so yes, it
will run on Windows. And while most of the development and userbase
runs it from Unix-based platforms like Linux and Mac OS X, there's at
least a few Windows users who keep us honest :) Cygwin is highly
recommended, though not required.

In terms of what Fabric can target (i.e. the remote machines connected
to) it can target anything that runs a valid SSH2 server and supports
single command invocation.

> What is the current stable release of Fabric, 0.9 or 1.0?

0.9.1 is the latest stable release; 1.0 is not a real release yet,
it's simply the label for the expected next major release. Once 1.0
comes out (which will be soon) both 0.9.x and 1.0.x lines will be
supported for a while, and 1.0 will be largely (not entirely)
backwards compatible so it should be an easy upgrade.

> We have installed Python2.6.5 on our systems, is that good for Fabric?

Python 2.6.5 is fine, though you will need to install Paramiko 1.7.6
after installing Fabric, as there is a known issue with our bundled
version of the Paramiko library on Python 2.6.5.

Best,
Jeff
