OpenStack Command-line Client
Project description
OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Network, 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.
PyPi - package installation
Launchpad project - bugs and feature requests
Blueprints - feature specifications (historical only)
Developer - getting started as a developer
Contributing - contributing code

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 https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
For a local user, your configuration will look like the one below:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name> export OS_USERNAME=<username> export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name> export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url> --os-identity-api-version 3 --os-project-name <project-name> --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name> --os-username <username> --os-user-domain-name <user-domain-name> [--os-password <password>]
For a federated user, your configuration will look the so:
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name> export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=openid export OS_AUTH_TYPE=v3oidcpassword export OS_USERNAME=<username-in-idp> export OS_PASSWORD=<password-in-idp> export OS_IDENTITY_PROVIDER=<the-desired-idp-in-keystone> export OS_CLIENT_ID=<the-client-id-configured-in-the-idp> export OS_CLIENT_SECRET=<the-client-secred-configured-in-the-idp> export OS_OPENID_SCOPE=<the-scopes-of-desired-attributes-to-claim-from-idp> export OS_PROTOCOL=<the-protocol-used-in-the-apache2-oidc-proxy> export OS_ACCESS_TOKEN_TYPE=<the-access-token-type-used-by-your-idp> export OS_DISCOVERY_ENDPOINT=<the-well-known-endpoint-of-the-idp>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-project-name <project-name> --os-project-domain-name <project-domain-name> --os-auth-url <url-to-openstack-identity> --os-identity-api-version 3 --os-auth-plugin openid --os-auth-type v3oidcpassword --os-username <username-in-idp> --os-password <password-in-idp> --os-identity-provider <the-desired-idp-in-keystone> --os-client-id <the-client-id-configured-in-the-idp> --os-client-secret <the-client-secred-configured-in-the-idp> --os-openid-scope <the-scopes-of-desired-attributes-to-claim-from-idp> --os-protocol <the-protocol-used-in-the-apache2-oidc-proxy> --os-access-token-type <the-access-token-type-used-by-your-idp> --os-discovery-endpoint <the-well-known-endpoint-of-the-idp>
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
