Description: Overview
        ========
        
        Ploy is a commandline-tool to provision, manage and control server instances.
        There are plugins for EC2 (ploy_ec2), FreeBSD Jails (ploy_ezjail) and more.
        You can create, delete, monitor and ssh into instances while ploy handles the details like ssh fingerprint checking.
        Additional plugins provide advanced functionality like integrating Fabric (ploy_fabric) and Ansible (ploy_ansible).
        
        You can find the detailed documentation at http://ploy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        ploy is best installed with easy_install, pip or with zc.recipe.egg in a buildout.
        It installs two scripts, ``ploy`` and ``ploy-ssh``.
        
        
        Configuration
        =============
        
        All information about server instances is located in ``ploy.conf``, which by default is looked up in ``etc/ploy.conf``.
        
        
        Plugins
        =======
        
        Support for backends and further functionality is implemented by plugins. One plugin is included with ploy.
        
        ``plain``
          For regular servers accessible via ssh.
        
        You can see which plugins are available in your current installation with ``ploy -v``.
        
        
        Plain
        -----
        
        With plain instances you can put infos about servers into the configuration to benefit from some ploy features like ssh fingerprint checking and plugins like the Fabric integration.
        
        
        Options
        ~~~~~~~
        
        ``host`` or ``ip``
          (**required**) The host name or address for the server.
        
        ``user``
          The default user for ssh connections. If it's set to ``*`` then the current
          local user name is used.
        
        ``port``
          The ssh port number.
        
        ``fingerprint``
          (**required**) The ssh fingerprint of the server.
          If set to ``ask`` then manual interactive verification is enabled.
          If set to ``ignore`` then no verification is performed at all!
          You can also point this to a public ssh host key file to let the fingerprint be extracted automatically.
        
        ``password-fallback``
          If this boolean is true, then using a password as fallback is enabled if the
          ssh key doesn't work. This is off by default.
          You may be asked more than once for the password.
          The first time is by paramiko which always happens, but is remembered.
          The other times is by the ssh command line tool if it's invoked.
        
        ``password``
          Never use this directly! If password-fallback is enabled this password is
          used. This is mainly meant for Fabric scripts which have other ways to get
          the password. On use case is bootstrapping `FreeBSD <http://www.freebsd.org/>`_
          from an `mfsBSD <http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/>`_ distribution where the password is
          fixed.
        
        ``proxycommand``
          The command to use in the ProxyCommand option for ssh when using the ``ploy-ssh``
          command. There are some variables which can be used:
        
            ``path``
              The directory of the ploy.conf file. Useful if you want to use the ``ploy-ssh``
              command itself for the proxy.
        
            ``known_hosts``
              The absolute path to the known_hosts file managed by ploy.
        
            ``instances``
              The variables of other instances. For example: instances.foo.ip
        
          In addition to these the variables of the instance itself are available.
        
          A full example for a proxycommand::
        
            proxycommand = {path}/../bin/ploy-ssh vm-master -W {ip}:22
        
        ``ssh-extra-args``
          A list of settings separated by newlines passed on to ssh.
        
          Example::
        
            ssh-extra-args = ForwardAgent yes
        
        
        SSH integration
        ===============
        
        ploy provides an additional tool ``ploy-ssh`` to easily perform SSH based
        operations against named instances. Particularly, it encapsulates the
        entire *SSH fingerprint* mechanism. For example EC2 instances are often
        short-lived and normally trigger warnings, especially, if you are using
        elastic IPs.
        
          Note:: it does so not by simply turning off these checks, but by transparently updating its own fingerprint list using mechanisms provided by the backend plugins.
        
        The easiest scenario is simply to create an SSH session with an instance. You
        can either use the ssh subcommand of the ploy tool like so::
        
          ploy ssh INSTANCENAME
        
        Alternatively you can use the ploy-ssh command directly, like so::
        
          ploy-ssh INSTANCENAME
        
        The latter has been provided to support scp and rsync. Here are some
        examples, you get the idea::
        
          scp -S `pwd`/bin/ploy-ssh some.file demo-server:/some/path/
          rsync -e "bin/ploy-ssh" some/path fschulze@demo-server:/some/path
        
        
        Instance names
        ==============
        
        Instances have an **id** which is the part after the colon in the configuration.
        They also have a **unique id** which has the form ``[masterid]-[instanceid]``.
        The ``[masterid]`` depends on the plugin.
        For plain instances it is ``plain``.
        The ``[instanceid]`` is the **id** of the instance.
        So, if you have the following config::
        
          [plain-instance:foo]
          ...
        
        Then the **unique id** of the instance is ``plain-foo``.
        
        
        Macro expansion
        ===============
        
        In the ``ploy.conf`` you can use macro expansion for cleaner configuration
        files. That looks like this::
        
          [ec2-instance:demo-server2]
          <= demo-server
          securitygroups = demo-server2
        
          [ec2-securitygroup:demo-server2]
          <= demo-server
        
        All the options from the specified macro are copied with some exceptions depending on the backend plugin.
        
        If you want to copy data from some other kind of options, you can add a colon
        in the macro name. This is useful if you want to have a base for instances
        like this::
        
          [macro:base-instance]
          keypair = default
          region = eu-west-1
          placement = eu-west-1a
        
          [ec2-instance:server]
          <= macro:base-instance
          ...
        
        
        Massaging of config values
        ==========================
        
        Plugins and ploy massage certain string values from the config to convert them to other types and do formatting or expansion.
        
        You can use that yourself, which is useful for the Fabric integration and other things.
        
        Here is a simple example::
        
          [section]
          massagers =
            intvalue=ploy.config.IntegerMassager
            boolvalue=ploy.config.BooleanMassager
          intvalue = 1
          boolvalue = yes
        
        If you now access those values from for example a fabric task, you get the correct type instead of strings.
        
        The above syntax registers the massagers only for that section.
        You can register massagers for other sections or even section groups with this syntax::
        
          massagers =
            [option]=[sectiongroup]:import.path.to.massager
            [option]=[sectiongroup]:[section]:import.path.to.massager
        
        The parts have the following meaning:
        
          ``[option]``
            This is the name of the option which should be massaged
        
          ``[sectiongroup]``
            The name of the section group.
            That's the part before the optional colon in a section.
            To match sections without a colon, use ``global``.
            To match every section, use ``*``.
        
          ``[section]``
            The name of the section to which this massager is applied.
            If empty, the current section is used.
        
        
        Buildout specifics
        ==================
        
        With zc.recipe.egg you can set a custom configfile location like this::
        
          [ploy]
          recipe = zc.recipe.egg
          eggs = ploy
          arguments = configpath="${buildout:directory}/etc/", configname="servers.cfg"
        
        As of this writing the pycrypto package is throwing some deprecation warnings, you might want to disable them by adding an initialization option to the ploy part like this::
        
          initialization =
              import warnings
              warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", ".*", DeprecationWarning, "Crypto\.Hash\.MD5", 6)
              warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", ".*", DeprecationWarning, "Crypto\.Hash\.SHA", 6)
              warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", ".*", DeprecationWarning, "Crypto\.Util\.randpool", 40)

        * Always make instances accessible by their full name in the form of
          "[master_id]-[instance_id]". Only if there is no conflict, the short version
          with just "[instance_id]" is also available for convenience.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Add instance id validator which limits to letters, numbers, dashes and

        * Expose some test fixtures for reuse in plugins.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Add before_terminate and after_start hooks and make it simple for plugins
          to add their own hooks.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc6 - 2014-06-10

          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc5 - 2014-06-09
        -------------------
        
        * Provide helper method ``ssh_args_from_info`` on BaseInstance to get the

          [fschulze]
        
        * Catch socket errors in init_ssh_key of plain instances to print additional
          info for debugging.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Delay setting of config file path to expose too early use of config in
          plugins. Refs #29
          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc4 - 2014-05-21
        -------------------
        
        * Fix massagers for ``[instance:...]`` sections.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Copy massagers in ConfigSection.copy, so overrides in startup script work
          correctly.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc3 - 2014-05-15
        -------------------
        
        * Fetch fingerprints only when necessary. This speeds up connections when the
          fingerprint in known_hosts is still valid.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc2 - 2014-05-14
        -------------------
        
        * Moved setuptools-git from setup.py to .travis.yml, it's only needed for
          releases and testing.
          [fschulze]
        
        * More tests.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        1.0rc1 - 2014-03-23
        -------------------
        
        * Test, enhance and document adding massagers via config.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Moved ec2 and fabric integration into separate plugins.
          [fschulze]
        
        * You can now have instances with the same name if the belong to different
          masters, they will then get the name of the master as a prefix to their name.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Add possibility to overwrite the default config name.
          [tomster]
        
        * Improved ``proxycommand`` and documented it.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Make the AWS instance available in masters. This changes the ``get_masters``
          plugin interface.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Use os.execvp instead of subprocess.call. This allows the use of ``assh`` in
          the ``proxycommand`` option, which greatly simplifies it's use.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added command plugin hooks.
          [fschulze]
        
        * The variable substitution for the ``proxycommand`` option now makes the other
          instances available in a dict under ``instances``. And adds ``known_hosts``.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Load plugins via entry points instead of the ``plugin`` section in the config.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Allow fallback to password for ssh to plain instances.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Add option to ask for manual fingerprint validation for plain instances.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.13 - 2013-09-20
        -----------------
        
        * Use os.path.expanduser on all paths, so that one can use ~ in config values
          like the aws keys.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.12 - 2013-09-11
        -----------------
        
        * There is no need to add the AWS account id to security group names anymore.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Rules are removed from security groups if they aren't defined in the config.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Allow adding of custom config massagers from inside the config.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Support block device maps to enable use of more than one ephemeral disk.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``do`` method on ec2 and plain instances which allows to call fabric
          commands.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Use PathMassager for ``access-key-id`` and ``secret-access-key`` in the
          ``ec2-master`` section. This might break existing relative paths for these
          options.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added support for EBS boot instances.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Add option ``ssh-key-filename`` to point to a private ssh key for ec2 and
          plain instances.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Fix Fabric integration for newer versions of Fabric.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Support ``proxycommand`` option for plain instances. This also caused a
          change in the ``init_ssh_key`` API for plugins.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Support ``ProxyCommand`` from ``~/.ssh/config`` for plain instances.
          Requires Fabric 1.5.0 and Paramiko 1.9.0 or newer.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.11 - 2012-11-08
        -----------------
        
        * Support both the ``ssh`` and ``paramiko`` libraries depending on which
          Fabric version is used.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.10 - 2012-06-04
        -----------------
        
        * Added ``ec2-connection`` which helps in writing Fabric scripts which don't
          connect to a server but need access to the config and AWS (like uploading
          something to S3).
          [fschulze]
        
        * Fix several problems with using a user name other than ``root`` for the
          ``do`` and ``ssh`` commands.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Require Fabric >= 1.3.0.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Require boto >= 2.0.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added hook for startup script options.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added possibility to configure hooks.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Refactored to enable plugins for different virtualization or cloud providers.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added lots of tests.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.9 - 2010-12-09
        ----------------
        
        * Overwrites now also affect server creation, not just the startup script.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``list`` command which supports just listing ``snapshots`` for now.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``delete-volumes-on-terminate`` option to delete volumes created from
          snapshots on instance termination.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added support for creating volumes from snapshots on instance start.
          [natea, fschulze]
        
        * Added support for ``~/.ssh/config``. This is a bit limited, because the
          paramiko config parser isn't very good.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``help`` command which provides some info for zsh autocompletion.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.8 - 2010-04-21
        ----------------
        
        * For the ``do`` command the Fabric options ``reject_unknown_hosts`` and
          ``disable_known_hosts`` now default to true.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Allow adding normal servers to use with ``ssh`` and ``do`` commands.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Refactored ssh connection handling to only open network connections when
          needed. Any fabric option which doesn't need a connection runs right away
          now (like ``-h`` and ``-l``).
          [fschulze]
        
        * Fix status output after ``start``.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.7 - 2010-03-22
        ----------------
        
        * Added ``snapshot`` method to Server class for easy access from fabfiles.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.6 - 2010-03-18
        ----------------
        
        * It's now possible to specify files which contain the aws keys in the
          ``[aws]`` section with the ``access-key-id`` and ``secret-access-key``
          options.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``-c``/``--config`` option to specify the config file to use.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added ``-v``/``--version`` option.
          [tomster (Tom Lazar), fschulze]
        
        * Comment lines in the startup script are now removed before any variables
          in it are expanded, not afterwards.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Use argparse library instead of optparse for more powerful command line
          parsing.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.5 - 2010-03-11
        ----------------
        
        * Added gzipping of startup script by looking for ``gzip:`` prefix in the
          filename.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Added macro expansion similar to zc.buildout 1.4.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.4 - 2010-02-18
        ----------------
        
        * Check console output in ``status`` and tell user about it.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Friendly message instead of traceback when trying to ssh into an unavailable
          server.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Remove comment lines from startup script if it's starting with ``#!/bin/sh``
          or ``#!/bin/bash``.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Removed ``-r`` option for ``start`` and ``debug`` commands and replaced it
          with more general ``-o`` option.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Made startup script optional (not all AMIs support it, especially Windows
          ones).
          [fschulze]
        
        * The ``stop`` command actually only stops an instance now (only works with
          instances booted from an EBS volume) and the new ``terminate`` command now
          does what ``stop`` did before.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Better error message when no console output is available for ssh finger
          print validation.
          [fschulze]
        
        * Fixed indentation in documentation.
          [natea (Nate Aune), fschulze]
        
        0.3 - 2010-02-08
        ----------------
        
        * Removed the ``[host_string]`` prefix of the ``do`` command output.
          [fschulze]
        
        0.2 - 2010-02-02
        ----------------
        
        * Snapshots automatically get a description with date and volume id.
          [fschulze]
        
        * The ssh command can now be used with scp and rsync.
          [fschulze]
        
        
        0.1 - 2010-01-21
        ----------------
        
        * Initial release
