Access server host inside a task

[guratr]

The documentation suggests using something like this for parallel execution

@servers(['web-1' => '192.168.1.1', 'web-2' => '192.168.1.2'])

@task('deploy', ['on' => ['web-1', 'web-2'], 'parallel' => true])
    cd site
    ...
    ...
@endtask

If all of your sites live on different servers, you always can create "site" symlink on server to your site path.
But when you have multiple sites on the same server, for example

@servers(['web-1' => '192.168.1.1', 'web-2' => '192.168.1.1'])

there is no way to specify where to "cd" for each site in the task.

It would be great if we had access to some variable "$currentHost" inside a task

I found out, that I can use $__container->getServer($name) to access a server in the TaskContainer https://github.com/laravel/envoy/blob/2.x/src/TaskContainer.php.
Hope this helps!
