Several projects can be deployed on the same VPS using makesite. One project can be deployed on several servers. Projects are isolated and deployments are repeatable. Project can be removed or updated in auto mode. Makesite is useful for version control system hooks or fast automatically creating dev zones. I use it for production deployment, too.

Warning

Makesite needed root or sudo access on deploy project. But do not run it under sudo because he did not find your MAKESITE_HOME settings. He asks access in process.

Requirements

• Ubuntu and Debian based systems. But it can run other nix systems.
• python >= 2.5
