Silly ops things that you've had to write more than once
Stuff that I've had to write more than once, and now I keep as a collection in a Python package, called "opstools".
It's split up into sub-command groups, which are (currently):
- aws — Scripts to make working with AWS easier
- file — Scripts which act on local files
- url — Scripts which act on URLs
Sub-commands are self-documented, so hit the --help for information. For example, there is a sub-command in the aws group called allow-me, which adds your current IP address to the security group for a public (AWS controlled) IP address you supply:
$ opstools aws allow-me --help
Usage: opstools aws allow-me [OPTIONS] HOSTNAME
Look up security groups associated with [hostname], and add port allowances
for this machine's IP
Options:
-s, --ssh Add port 22 to the first security group found
--https Add ports 443 and 80 to the first security group found
-p, --port TEXT Add a custom port to the first security group found
--help Show this message and exit.
Or hit enter (or --help) at each group level to see a list of available sub-commands (and sub-groups, if any):
$ opstools file
Usage: opstools file [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Scripts which act on files
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
hosts Add / remove entries to /etc/hosts, with (MacOS) reminder...
log-search Parse arbitrarily headered log files for searching
