TL;DR<\/strong>:\u00a0CEM CLI<\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0cPanel to EasyEngine Migration CLI<\/a>. It’s quite new at the moment\u00a0and is meant to automate bits of the repetitive\u00a0tasks that one has to go through while migrating their sites from a cPanel based shared hosting (with no SSH access) to an EasyEngine based rented self-managed VPS.<\/p>\n

I Love Automation \u2014 Workflow Optimist!#<\/a><\/h2>\n

I had a few small low-traffic sites sitting on a shared hosting account with cPanel (no SSH access)<\/strong> for quite some time now. I have been meaning to transfer them to a self-managed cloud but it’s hard to find enough time these days.<\/p>\n

Anywho, I have tried EasyEngine<\/a> script (built by rtCamp<\/a>) in the past and I liked everything about it<\/strong>. So, I ended up building a migration CLI which BTW can also be used as a command line tool to build a staging website for a website you host on a shared server.<\/p>\n

I am an end to end product developer<\/a>. Three years ago, I started to pick up on what we call DevOps.<\/p>\n

DevOps<\/b> (a clipped compound of development and operations) is a culture, movement or practice that emphasizes the collaboration and communication of both software developers and other information-technology (IT) professionals while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes. \u2014 Wikipedia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have always been a workflow-optimist<\/strong>. What\u00a0that means is whenever I have to perform a task repeatedly, I find a way to make it more efficient, which in turn means automation, and hence I always end up building a\u00a0pro workflow for that task.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

I guess developers are like that<\/strong>. We hate repetitive nature of any process. I do. I believe that software development is not just my career \u2014 it’s a way of life.<\/p>\n

More often than not I find myself in an if\/else-if\/else<\/strong>\u00a0situation, whenever life throws a curveball I end up with switch-case<\/strong>, and then there are these\u00a0things in my life which have a repetitive nature \u2014 Maybe it is my OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) that compels me to do what I do \u2014 but then\u00a0I start thinking about the\u00a0repetitive task at hand, I study its patterns and then I try to automate it as much as I can.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly how CEM CLI came into being.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Do you have OCD? Does the need of keeping things in check sound familiar? Do you build little workflows \u2014 tell me about that in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Anywho, let’s get to the CEM CLI part before I start talking more about my OCD.<\/p>\n
