ez (CLI Command / Toolkit)

Shell scripting to automate all the eZ Platform things! I'm working on updates and fixes to our installation documentation at https://doc.ez.no/display/DEVELOPER/Step+1%3A+Installation and, of course, manually testing the steps to make sure they're correct. :)

Purpose

I'm installing eZ Platform from scratch on fresh servers over and over again. These are the things I typed by hand the first few times, collected into scripts. This is NOT an official eZ project, is NOT recommended for production or use of any kind, and is in a highly embryonic state.

Potential

CLI automation is a powerful enablement feature for any platform. I'd like to explore what's possible, inspired by past and present efforts from others, and in a public (but personal) space where I can create things the way that I'd like to do them.

Eventually, I'd love to flesh this out into a full DX toolkit, in the spirit of Symfony's installer (https://github.com/symfony/symfony-installer), the console project (https://github.com/symfony/console), Platform.sh's CLI tooling (https://github.com/platformsh/platformsh-cli), Heroku's CLI tooling (https://github.com/heroku/heroku), Drush (https://github.com/drush-ops/drush), and others. It would be great to have CLI superpowers surrounding all things eZ. For right now, I'm just adding whatever steps I'd be typing by hand so I can curl them as a single script and run them on fresh servers. Down the road I may add functionality around existing installations to manage/inspect.

@plopix has a great Docker toolkit that wraps things up in a nice, tidy, usable way. Things like this could be orchestrated together and run with a wrapping command like ez. This repo is my take on what that could look like.

UPDATE: There's a new project called LaunchPad from Plopix/eZ Systems which also uses the ez command name; this repo here predates those tools and is my own unrelated project.

Problems

These first baby scripts aren't meant for anything other than my very narrow personal use case, so it isn't very practical for others to run. The steps contained in the scripts are perfectly valid reference material for those doing some or all of the same things.

Inspiration

I love using ohmyz.sh, nvm, rvm, and other such tools. I like how they're organized, and I think they're cool. :)

Primary Story

As a Developer, I want to be able to type ez * where * is a command, and get fast and reliable results on common tasks when working with eZ Platform and its surrounding technologies, so that I can save time and ensure consistency among different instances.
