Re: [Fab-user] Does fabric have a better way to manager the hosts

[Carl Waldbieser]

There is nothing that stops your fabfile from reading a configuration file that 
has the hosts in it and setting `env.roledefs`.  I use this for my own 
deployment scripts.  I run it with a command line like:

  $ DEPLOYER_CONFIG=./myapp-config.yml fab -R STAGE deploy_config

Where "DEPLOYER_CONFIG=./myapp-config.yml" sets an environment variable in my 
shell I can use to specify the config file, "-R STAGE" is the role-to-host 
mapping that is defined in the config file and used to configure `env.roledefs` 
in my fabfile, and "deploy_config" is the task that will be run.

You could also just have a default location for config files like 
`$HOME/.myconfig.json`, etc.

Thanks,

Subject: [Fab-user] Does fabric have a better way to manager the hosts

I think fabric should has a config file to keep the hosts. 

when I run fabric task, all the hosts will pass to task as connection 

-H flag is used to filter the target hosts 

In this case, I need not to type fab -H host1,host2 deploy 

Yes, It acts somehow like capistrano
