# This needs to be completely rewritten for the new version!!!


## Note:
- This is a quick copy and paste job(weekend hacking), you should not consider it anything but experimental right now
- But I wanted to share the idea already with others

## DISCLAIMER:
this is alpha sofware . Don't trust it:) And don't complain if it removes all your EC instances at once....

## Kudos to great stuff
- [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com) is great for testing machines on your local machines
- [Fog](https://github.com/geemus/fog) is a great fog library for managing cloud systems

Without those two, this project would not be possible. Kudos to the authors!

This project tries to combine both:
- Because your local machine might outgrow your complexity your local machine can handle
- use the same vagrantfile for local dev, and cloud devel

## Some notes before you dive in

- I could probably have integrated with vagrant code but this would have taken me longer to understand vagrant code
- I didn't want the dependency on virtualbox
- The machines it creates will have the prefix as defined in the Mccloudfile, so this should not pollute your stuff

## Todo:

- provision to other providers than ec2
- try to stay fully compatible with Vagrantfile

## How it will work/works

### Create a config file for fog. Note that these are spaces in front and no tabs
$ cat $HOME/.fog
<pre>
:default:
  :aws_access_key_id: <your id here>
  :aws_secret_access_key: <your acess key here>
</pre>

### Create a Mccloud project
$ mccloud init

This will create a Mccloudfile

### Edit your Mccloud appropriate

<pre>
</pre>

### Start your machines
# If the machine does not yet exist, it will also run bootstrap
$ mccloud up web

### Check the status
$ mccloud status

### Bootstrap the machine
$ mccloud bootstrap web

### (interactive) Login into the machine
$ mccloud ssh web

### run a command on a machine
$ mccloud command web "who am i"

### Halt the machine
$ mccloud halt web

### Start the machine again
$ mccloud up web

### Provision the machine
$ mccloud provision web

### Port forwarding server
$ mccloud server

### Destroy the machine again
$ mccloud destroy web
