Outscale CLI

Official Outscale CLI providing connectors to Outscale API.

Getting Started

Installing on Macos

osc-cli is available on brew.

Installing on Linux

osc-cli is pre-packaged for Linux as a standalone AppImage.

• Download osc-cli-x86_64.AppImage from latest version in releases.
• Allow file to be executed by running chmod a+x osc-cli-x86_64.AppImage
• Run osc-cli: ./osc-cli-x86_64.AppImage

Optionally, you can install it for all users: sudo mv osc-cli-x86_64.AppImage /usr/local/bin/osc-cli and just run osc-cli.

you can also install osc-cli-git on Arch Linux using AUR: (yay -S osc-cli-git)

Note:

if you have this error (or one similar about fuse):

fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory

You can either install fuse yourself, or execute the appimage with --appimage-extract-and-run option

Example:

./osc-cli-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run osc-cli api ReadImages --profile=my

using appimage-extract-and-run extract the content of the AppImage in a temporary directory and execute it, this operation is a lot slower than using fuse, and the fuse solution should be use if posible.

Installing on Windows

Check dedicated documentation regarding windows installation.

Installing from Python package

Prerequisites

You will need Python 3.6+ or later. Earlier versions including Python 2 are not supported.

Pip

You can get the package from pypi:

pip3 install osc-sdk

If you are using Microsoft Windows, see how to setup osc-cli on Windows.

Installing from sources

It is a good practice to create a dedicated virtualenv first. Even if it usually won't harm to install Python libraries directly on the system, better to contain dependencies in a virtual environment.

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Then install osc-cli in your virtual env:

pip install -e .

Configure osc-cli

The CLI requires a configuration file in ~/.osc/config.json The content must be a JSON whose contents look like this: /!\ the old configuration path using .osc_sdk folder is deprecated. Please use the new one with .osc.

{"default":
    {"access_key": "MYACCESSKEY",
     "secret_key": "MYSECRETKEY",
     "region": "eu-west-2"
    },
  "us":
    {"access_key": "MYACCESSKEY",
     "secret_key": "MYSECRETKEY",
     "host": "outscale.com",
     "https": true,
     "method": "POST",
     "region": "us-east-2"
    }
}

You can add several profiles for different regions or users.

Optional parameters can be applied to each profile :

• client_certificate: if you need additional security, your pem must include your private key and your certificate
• version: if you want to query another version of the API

{"default":
    {"access_key": "MYACCESSKEY",
     "secret_key": "MYSECRETKEY",
     "client_certificate" : "path_to_your_pem",
     "host": "outscale.com",
     "https": true,
     "method": "POST",
     "region": "eu-west-2",
     "version": "2018-11-19"
    }
}

Get osc-cli version

--version option will print osc-cli version and exit.

osc-cli --version

Activate bash-completion

Activate the completion for the current bash session

source <(osc-cli --bash_completion)

Generate the file to add it in your bach rc:

osc-cli --bash_completion > ~/.osc/cli-completion.bash

then in your bashrc add:

source ~/.osc/cli-completion.bash

Usage

osc-cli SERVICE CALL [PROFILE] [CALL-PARAMETERS]

or

osc-cli --service SERVICE --call CALL [PROFILE] [--CALL_PARAMS ...]

with

• SERVICE one of the services provided by Outscale (fcu, lbu, icu, eim, directlink, okms and api)
• CALL the call you request (ie ReadVms, DescribeInstances...)
• PROFILE the profile you want to connect to (optional)
• CALL_PARAMS call arguments which are case-sensitive (optional)

Here is an example of a simple volume creation:

osc-cli fcu CreateVolume --AvailabilityZone eu-west-2a --Size 10
{
    "CreateVolumeResponse": {
        "@xmlns": "http://ec2.amazonaws.com/doc/2014-06-15/",
        "requestId": "508f428a-9fd8-4a49-9fe6-d0bf311de3b4",
        "volumeId": "vol-6a2aa442",
        "size": "10",
        "snapshotId": null,
        "availabilityZone": "eu-west-2a",
        "status": "creating",
        "createTime": "2019-01-17T12:53:57.836Z",
        "volumeType": "standard"
    }
}

Be careful with your quotes ! If you want to pass the string "12345678" rather than the integer 12345678 you'll need to quote your quotes:

$ osc-cli icu CreateAccount --Email "example@email.com" \
			    --FirstName "Osc" \
			    --LastName "Cli" \
			    --Password "12345toto" \
			    --ZipCode '"92000"' \
			    --Country "France" \
			    --CustomerId '"12345678"'

Another example with an array of strings into args:

$ osc-cli api CreateDhcpOptions --DomainName="toot.toot" \
				--DomainNameServers="['1.1.1.1']" \
				--NtpServers="['1.1.1.1']"

Example with a complex structure:

osc-cli icu CreateListenerRule \
--Instances '[{"InstanceId": "i-12345678"}]' \
--ListenerDescription '{"LoadBalancerName": "osc", "LoadBalancerPort": 80}'
--ListenerRuleDescription '{"RuleName": "hello", "Priority": 100, "PathPattern": "/"}'

Argument Parsing

$ osc-cli api example --obj=[1,2]    	# list
$ osc-cli api example --obj=10		# int
$ osc-cli api example --obj="10"	# int
$ osc-cli api example --obj="'10'"	# str
$ osc-cli api example --obj=\"10\"	# str

$ osc-cli api example --obj="hello"	# str
$ osc-cli api example --obj=hello	# str

Warning if you're adding a list which contain strings with specifics characteres, there is a workaround:

$ osc-cli api example --obj="['vol-12345678', 'vol-87654322']"    	# list

Authentication

You API crendentials are composed of an Access Key and a Secret Key located in .osc_sdk/config.json. You can list you access keys using your user and password:

osc-cli icu ListAccessKeys --authentication-method=password --login youremail@company.com --password=Y0URpAssOrd
