## Installation
### PIP
[Server Automation Setup](https://pypi.org/project/server-automation-setup/) can be installed from pip via 
```
python3 -m pip install server-automation-setup
```
<br>

### Manual
Or if you are feeling adventurous, you can download the install script from github and run the following command.
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/miversen33/Server-Automation-Setup/master/install-script.py >> /tmp/install-script.py && python3 /tmp/install-script.py
```
[**NOTE: Be careful executing random files off the internet. Always inspect them first**](https://github.com/miversen33/Server-Automation-Setup/blob/master/install-script.py)

Once its finished, you should see output that looks like 
```
Finished! Execute 'serverautomation --help' to get started!
```
<br>

### Dependencies
Regardless of which decision you chose for installation, our dependencies are already installed. 
The programs we rely on to function properly are
* [YAML](https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml)
* [Fabric](https://github.com/fabric/fabric)
* [Invoke](https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke)
* [Paramiko](https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko)

<br>

### Uninstallation
If you installed the server automation tool via pip, you can uninstall it with the following command 
```
python3 -m pip uninstall server-automation-setup
```

If you installed te server automation tool manually, pip may not recognize it. To perform an uninstall in this case, run the following command
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/miversen33/Server-Automation-Setup/master/install-script.py >> /tmp/install-script.py && python3 /tmp/install-script.py --uninstall
```

## How To Run
Running the setup script is easy. Simply provide it a configuration file to load and it handles everything else.
```
serverautomation -f=yourfile
```
### Available parameters
```
-f, --file: Your configuration File.
    This must be a JSON or YAML file, unless the script excplicitly gives you a file to run.
-v, --verbose: Tells the system to print out more details
-d, --debug: When enabled, we will still connect to the remote server, 
    but then we simply dump all the commands we would run to the terminal window for the user to see
-e, --onfail: How to handle failure. Options are (continue:default, die)
```

### What About Server Failure?
It happens. Something causes one of the installation scripts to crash. The server is bounced. One of the external scripts breaks. Etc.
So what happens when a failure occurs while setting up your shiny new server? When an error occurs, we handle it (depending on what [`--onfail`](#available-parameters) is set to). Regardless of the status of [`--onfail`](#available-parameters), we will keep track of the script(s) that fail during setup. Once we are finished running, if failures were found, we provide you a special file that you can use to only execute the failed script(s). It will look something like this
```
Server Setup completed with errors. To rerun failed scripts, execute the following command. serverautomation --file 127.0.0.1-20200420-202251
```
