What to do with the Connection object?

Migrating to v2, I created a Connection object

import configparser
import os

import fabric

fabfile_config = configparser.ConfigParser()

fabfile_config.read('fabfile.cfg')

fabric.Connection(
    host=fabfile_config.get('Fabric', 'Host'),
    user=fabfile_config.get('Fabric', 'User'),
    connect_kwargs={
        'key_filename': os.path.expanduser(fabfile_config.get('Fabric', 'KeyFilename'))
    }
)

but

@fabric.task(help={'command': 'The shell command to execute on the server'})
def execute(context, command = None):
    if not command:
        return

    context.run(command)

is executing the command locally, instead of running it on the server.

Shouldn’t the context parameter be my connection?

Somehow, yes. I think that I was creating the connection object incorrectly. Here is the entire code that I use, let me know if there’s something you don’t understand.
