Create documentation for fabric-related deployment and configs

[cybertoast]

The wiki does not have any documentation about creating local configuration files using fabric, or deployment using fabric. This is necessary for new users to know how to set up a site using fabric.

[simon-mcc]

yes, this would be very usefull

[cybertoast]

Accepted. I'll add docs this week as I have time. To be clear we're also working on a totally new version of CBU which will be released in the next week or so.

[simon-mcc]

thx cybertoast.
I already know a new version will be available soon and that's a really good news. Unfortunately I really need a CBU for the very next few weeks. I already spent days, and i will not give-up so easily :)
I'm working for a consortium of famous universities and we have really short delays.
thx again.

Ok I'll try to get some docs together by Wed night since I'll have some
travel time.

I'am working on an AWS Server with ubuntu.
According to https://github.com/localprojects/Change-By-Us/wiki/Installation-Instructions-%28Ubuntu%29
Prerequesites (install, bdd) are clear, but the application configuration part is not really simple. I dont' understand how to deal with config.yaml and that stuff :)
best regards

Hi, any news about documentation ?

[localprojects]

I've added a bit more documentation to the wiki (
https://github.com/localprojects/Change-By-Us/wiki/Configuration). Does
this help?

yes, but you don't refer to fabric ?
i was thinking fabric is needed to deploy the app ? no ?

[cybertoast]

If you're deploying to an EC2 or other remote host you'll need to edit the
rcfile.sample and rename it something like rcfile.mine. Fabric will use
this file (eg. fab -f fabfile.py -c rcfile.mine prod deploy) to interpolate
the variables into the etc/config.yaml.tmpl, which will then be pushed to
the remote host during the upload.

If you're just running things locally (development environment) then you
can create the config.yaml "manually". Alternatively you can also create an
rcfile with your local configs, eg. rcfile.local, and have the config.yaml
generated by fabric: fab -f fabfile.py -c rcfile.local dev
create_local_configs. This will generate config.yaml in your build_path
(defined in rcfile).
