These scripts utilise the Webfaction API via python and Fabric 2 to conveniently run some common tasks.

Presently there are just a small selection, mostly related to managing letsencrypt certificates.

You could install this in your system python3, into your virtualnv or into your pipenv as a dev dependency

$ pipenv install –dev webfaction_fab2

Generate a fabfile.py in the root of your project, something like this:

$ pipen run python -m wf_fab2.makefab

And then start using the commands

$ pipenv run fab -l

I had a pretty comprehensive and well tested set of scripts for fabric 1.x enabling provisioning and deploying django projects onto webfaciton hosts. As I slowly move them to fabric2 I’m intending to share them here.
