[Cherokee] Best way to configure Cherokee via script?

[Patrick Breitenbach]

I see a lot of notices to avoid manually editing the Cherokee configuration file and instead use the GUI. However, it's frequently necessary to script a deployment (shell script, fabric, etc) so I'm wondering if anyone has best practices for that?

There are unfortunately Cherokee scripts for neither Chef[0] nor Puppet[1] (yet).  I'm actually looking into that myself, as learning Vagrant has kicked me into researching better ways to keep track of server configuration.

As far as I'm aware of, the best choice so far is the Config.py parser we use on Cherokee-admin:

Hello,

Few months ago I started to explore the possibility to write a higher level python API : https://bitbucket.org/yml/cherokee-admin-api

I wrote a bit about this experience :

* http://gwadeloop.com/blog/gwadeloop/archive/2010/05/20/cherokee-admin-api/

* http://gwadeloop.com/blog/gwadeloop/archive/2010/06/08/cherokee-admin-api-part2/

I stop this effort because I found this approach to be  fragile.

Regards,
