Description:

remork 0.8

Remork
Accelerator for testinfra. Remork allows to greatly speedup testinfra
operations by exploiting single ssh or docker connection.
It provides own extensions to upload files, change files on remote
host and other configuration management tasks.
Installation
pip install remork

Usage
Import remork.testinfra somewhere in conftest.py:
import remork.testinfra

After that you can use hostspecs like remork+ssh://host or
remork+docker://container.
Additionally you can override default backends using remork.testinfra.init
call:
import remork.testinfra
remork.testinfra.init('ssh docker')

It allows to use unmodified ssh:// and docker:// hostspecs.
Custom python interpreter path
Remork relies on availability of python executable (any python >= 2.6 would work).
But recent RHEL based distros come without system wide python and provide platform
python only (/usr/libexec/platform-python).
You can pass remork_python param with hostspec:
remork+ssh://host?remork_python=/usr/libexec/platform-python).
Or pass additional options into get_host:
testinfra.get_host(spec, remork_python='/usr/libexec/platform-python')
TODO


Inventory.


File change transactions as a sane way to apply set of configuration changes,
validate configuration as a whole (like complex nginx config with multiple
templates) and revert all files back if anything goes wrong.


Ansible vault compatible encryption/decryption.


Roles and ability to target roles from CLI runner.


Ansible module to call remork files.


Use remork router with paramiko backend.
