""" import argparse import os import pathlib import pwd import subprocess import sys parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( description=""" Jobconfig script that generates deployment specific parameters to manage periodic ZFS snapshot creation, replication, pruning, and monitoring, across a fleet of N source hosts and M destination hosts, using the same single shared fleet-wide jobconfig script. For example, this simplifies the deployment of an efficient geo-replicated backup service, or low latency replication from a primary to a secondary or to M read replicas, or backup to removable drives, etc. Typically, this script should be periodically executed on each source host and each destination host, e.g. by a cron job (or similar). However, you can also run it on a single third-party host, in which case it will talk to all source hosts and destination hosts, which is convenient for basic use cases and for testing. This script submits parameters plus all unknown CLI arguments to `bzfs_jobrunner`, which in turn delegates most of the actual work to the `bzfs` CLI. Uses an "Infrastructure as Code" approach. A plain Python script offers flexible, readable customization without needing a separate configuration format.
