phabricator-tools

Tools and daemons for administering lots of Phabricator instances and integrating them with other tools.

Overview

Phabricator is an awesome, open-source application for communicating and collaborating with other software developers within an enterprise.

Many enterprises may be big enough such that it makes sense to have an instance of Phabricator per area of responsiblity or product being worked on; for example you may have one Phabricator for your website and one for each of your major products.

This project aims to complement Phabricator by making installation, administration and interoperation easier. At some point it will hopefully be merged with Phabricator-actual.

Extend Phabricator easily with Arcyon

There are often house-keeping tasks which you like to be able to automate; the Phabricator 'Conduit' API is designed to let you interact with your instance over HTTP.

Arcyon wraps up the API with a command-line interface for easy scripting.

e.g. say 'poke' on all open reviews not updated for 2 weeks

$ arcyon query --min-update-age "2 weeks" --status-type open | arcyon comment --ids-file - -m 'poke'

Install Phabricator in one step

To get up and running quickly, a Vagrant configuration is included for creating a new Linux VM and making a fully working Phabricator installation, including all its dependencies, i.e. Apache, MySQL.

If you want to provision an existing VM or machine with Phabricator you can also use the included Puppet configuration directly.

To create a new local VM serving up Phabricator

Requires VirtualBox and Vagrant

$ cd vagrant && vagrant up
Point a web-browser at 'http://127.0.0.1:8080' to login to your new Phabricator instance

To install within an existing VM or machine

Requires Puppet
This method works only on Ubuntu or its derivatives
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Lubuntu 14.04 on VirtualBox

$ sudo puppet apply vagrant/puppet/phabricator/manifests/default.pp --modulepath vagrant/puppet
Point a web-browser at 'http://127.0.0.1' to login to your new Phabricator instance

Note: Please note that if you have disabled anonymous user access or limited privilages then you would have to specify a user who has required privilages in the default puppet manifest file as follows. Change line reading

exec { "mysql < ${phab_dir}/initial.db && ${dev_dir}/phabricator/bin/storage upgrade --force":

to

exec { "mysql -u phab < ${phab_dir}/initial.db && ${dev_dir}/phabricator/bin/storage upgrade --user phab --force":

Pre-installed Users

alice, bob, phab (administrator) All pre-installed users have the password set to password

Monitor your Phabricator instance with phab-ping

A simple wrapper around the 'conduit.ping' API which Phabricator provides, phab-ping behaves much like the regular ping as a simple health-check tool.

It requests some information from the instance running at the specified URL and reports how long Phabricator takes to respond.

$ phab-ping https://secure.phabricator.com
conduit.ping https://secure.phabricator.com/api/
