OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings
|
|
the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage
|
|
APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
|
|
|
|
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common
|
|
language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip::
|
|
|
|
pip install python-openstackclient
|
|
|
|
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options and supported
|
|
commands is shown with ``--help``::
|
|
|
|
openstack --help
|
|
|
|
There is also a ``help`` command that can be used to get help text for a specific
|
|
command::
|
|
|
|
openstack help
|
|
openstack help server create
|
|
|
|
If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution,
|
|
make any changes and then run::
|
|
|
|
python setup.py develop
|
|
|
|
or::
|
|
|
|
pip install -e .
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line
|
|
options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
|
|
|
|
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used::
|
|
|
|
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
|
|
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
|
|
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
|
|
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
|
|
|
|
The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
|
|
|
|
--os-auth-url <url>
|
|
--os-project-name <project-name>
|
|
--os-username <username>
|
|
[--os-password <password>]
|
|
|
|
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively
|
|
prompted to provide one securely.
|
|
|
|
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token
|
|
and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired
|
|
from the Service Catalog::
|
|
|
|
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
|
|
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
|
|
|
|
The corresponding command-line options look very similar::
|
|
|
|
--os-token <token>
|
|
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
|
