This needs to be completely rewritten for the new version!!!

Note:

• This is a quick copy and paste job(weekend hacking), you should not consider it anything but experimental right now
• But I wanted to share the idea already with others

DISCLAIMER:

this is alpha sofware . Don't trust it:) And don't complain if it removes all your EC instances at once....

Kudos to great stuff

• Vagrant is great for testing machines on your local machines
• Fog is a great fog library for managing cloud systems

Without those two, this project would not be possible. Kudos to the authors!

This project tries to combine both:

• Because your local machine might outgrow your complexity your local machine can handle
• use the same vagrantfile for local dev, and cloud devel

Some notes before you dive in

• I could probably have integrated with vagrant code but this would have taken me longer to understand vagrant code
• I didn't want the dependency on virtualbox
• The machines it creates will have the prefix as defined in the Mccloudfile, so this should not pollute your stuff

Todo:

• provision to other providers than ec2
• try to stay fully compatible with Vagrantfile

How it will work/works

Create a config file for fog. Note that these are spaces in front and no tabs

$ cat $HOME/.fog

:default:
  :aws_access_key_id: 
  :aws_secret_access_key: 

Create a Mccloud project

$ mccloud init

This will create a Mccloudfile

Edit your Mccloud appropriate

Start your machines

If the machine does not yet exist, it will also run bootstrap

$ mccloud up web

Check the status

$ mccloud status

Bootstrap the machine

$ mccloud bootstrap web

(interactive) Login into the machine

$ mccloud ssh web

run a command on a machine

$ mccloud command web "who am i"

Halt the machine

$ mccloud halt web

Start the machine again

$ mccloud up web

Provision the machine

$ mccloud provision web

Port forwarding server

$ mccloud server

Destroy the machine again

$ mccloud destroy web
