orchard 1.0.7

Install

`bash $ pip install orchard `

Upgrading to the latest version

`bash $ pip install -U orchard `

Command-line client

For help on using Orchard from the command-line, run orchard –help or see the [CLI docs] on the website.

Authenticating

The orchard.api package provides two methods for instantiating an API client:

`python >>> import orchard.api >>> orchard.api.with_token(my_token) <orchard.api.client.Client object at 0x101de0d10> >>> orchard.api.with_username_and_password(my_username, my_password) <orchard.api.client.Client object at 0x102244e10> `

Managing apps

Once you’ve instaniated a Client object, the apps property lets you list, create and delete apps:

`python >>> client.apps [<App: app1>, <App: app2>] >>> client.apps[0] <App: app1> >>> client.apps["app2"] <App: app2> >>> app3 = client.apps.create({"name": "app3"}) >>> app3 <App: app3> >>> app3.delete() `

Interacting with Docker

To get a [docker-py] instance for an app, call client.docker(app_name):

`python >>> docker = client.docker("app1") >>> docker.containers() [] >>> c = docker.create_container("ubuntu", "date") >>> docker.start(c['Id']) >>> docker.wait(c['Id']) 0 >>> docker.logs(c['Id']) 'Mon Oct 28 15:42:56 UTC 2013\n' >>> docker.remove_container(c['Id']) `

Consult the [docker-py] README for a full list of methods. Orchard does not currently support all of the methods that Docker supports though. See the [Orchard API docs] for a list of what is not supported.
