Buildout is a deployment tool primarily used in the Zope/Plone community, designed to create repeatable environments for application deployment across development, testing, acceptance, and production stages. It allows the assembly of applications from multiple components and supports configurations through various recipes and variable substitutions. The document also provides examples of buildout configurations and links for further information.

1. – write once, deploy often – Creating repeatable environments with Buildout

2. About me Kim Chee Leong Python developer since May 2007

3. Server administrator

4. Google Android developer

5. Introduction A bit of history

6. What is buildout and what can I do with it?

7. Buildout basics and examples

8. A bit of history Buildout originated from the Zope/Plone community Setting up an application deployment was repetitive and tedious

9. There is a need for creating repeatable DTAP deployments

10. What is buildout Support for creating application deployments

11. Assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise

12. An application may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration settings

13. What can I do with buildout Deploy DTAP* environments with one buildout

14. It's repeatable and reusable

15. * Development, Testing, Acceptance, Production

16. Simple buildout config [buildout] develop = src/hello parts = hello-buildout [hello-buildout] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = hello

17. Multiple configuration files [buildout] extends = buildout-base.cfg supervisor.cfg pound.cfg prd-settings.cfg prd-version.cfg parts += instance0 ...

18. Variable substitutions [cluster] int-ip = 192.168.10.1 supervisor-port = 38080 [supervisor] recipe = collective.recipe.supervisor port = ${cluster:int-ip}:${cluster:supervisor-port} serverurl = http://${cluster:int-ip}:${cluster:supervisor-port} programs = 20 instance ${instance:location}/bin/runzope ${instance:location} true 80 pound ${buildout:directory}/bin/poundrun

19. Buildout recipes zc.recipe.egg plone.recipe.command zc.recipe.cmmi collective.recipe.patch collective.recipe.supervisor gocept.nginx mr.developer

20. Example buildout config [buildout] parts = pyramid eggs = ZopeSkel extensions = mr.developer sources = sources auto-checkout = opsbqueue gw20e.forms [sources] opsbqueue = svn https://svn.gw20e.com/oosterpoort/eggs/opsbqueue gw20e.forms = svn https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/gw20e.forms/trunk [pyramid] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = py eggs = pyramid opsbqueue gw20e.forms

21. GW20e default buildout

22. Running buildout ~/buildout$ python bootstrap.py ~/buildout$ ./bin/buildout

23. Wrapping up Use buildout deploying applications in complex environments

24. Powerful buildout recipes

25. Include non-Python components

26. Write once, deploy often!
