Cloudler

Introduction

Cloudler is a way to easily run a command on one or many remote servers. It could be useful for thngs like Markov Chains, Web Crawlers, or anything that you need extra processing power or time for. It logs into a server via SSH, uploads either the entire current project, or some specified project, installs any specified gems, and runs a specified command in the project's directory. 

Installation

To install cloudler, go to where you unziped cloudler, and run

$ gem install cloudler

Usage

To create a cloudler project:

$ cloud init

This creates a Cloudfile in the current directory. Just update the Cloudfile with your information and you're all set to go.

To run a command, simply use:cl

$ cloud run

Notes

cloudler runs commands blockingly, so if you have a long task that you want run, and/or multiple servers you want to run it on, it's probably a good idea to use screen. For example,

command 'screen -dmS [Your Command]'
