Director

Director is a console tool for orchestrating your server & your software.

Coupled with Ansible, Director makes it easy to track and manage large numbers of servers.

More coming soon.

======= Installation

1. Install PHP CLI.
2. Install Composer: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

3. Manually install Director: For now we recommend installing it manually as we polish it up for release into packagist:

4. Git clone to your favorite local projects folder: cd ~/Projects git clone git@github.com:jonpugh/director.git

5. Go into director folder and run composer intall.

6. Either:

a. Add a symlink from ~/Projects/director/director to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.
b. Add it to your PATH variable 

We are still working on getting director to work out of the box.

These environment variables are needed after you clone this repo and run composer install:

PATH=$PATH:/vagrant/director/vendor/bin:/vagrant/director

export PYTHONPATH=/vagrant/director/vendor/jonpugh/ansible/lib: export ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=/vagrant/director/vendor/jonpugh/ansible/library export MANPATH=/vagrant/director/vendor/jonpugh/ansible/docs/man: export ANSIBLE_HOSTS=/vagrant/director/inventory
