|
`triton` is a CLI tool for working with the CloudAPI for Joyent's Triton [Public Cloud]
|
||||||
on-premises installations of Triton or Joyent's Public Cloud
|
(https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud) and [Private Cloud] (https://docs.joyent.com/private-cloud).
|
||||||
(<https://my.joyent.com>, <http://www.joyent.com/products/compute-service>).
|
CloudAPI is a RESTful API for end users of the cloud to manage their accounts, instances,
|
||||||
|
networks, images, and to inquire other relevant details. CloudAPI provides a single view of
|
||||||
|
docker containers, infrastructure containers and hardware virtual machines available in the
|
||||||
|
Triton solution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**This project aims to replace
|
There is currently another CLI tool known as [node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc)
|
||||||
[node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc) as both the API
|
for CloudAPI. `node-smartdc` CLI works off the 32-character object UUID to uniquely
|
||||||
client library for triton ([cloudapi](https://apidocs.joyent.com/cloudapi/))
|
identify object instances in API requests, and returns response payload in JSON format.
|
||||||
and the command line tool**
|
The CLI covers both basic and advanced usage of [CloudAPI](https://apidocs.joyent.com/cloudapi/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Installation
|
As a lightweight programmable interface for CloudAPI, the `triton` CLI supports both name or
|
||||||
|
UUID identification of object instances and the use of short ID, as well as the choice
|
||||||
|
between concise tabular responses and full JSON responses. **The `triton` CLI is currently in
|
||||||
|
beta and will be expanded over time to support all CloudAPI commands, eventually replacing
|
||||||
|
`node-smartdc` as both the API client library for Triton cloud and the command line tool.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### User accounts, authentication, and security
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you can use the CLI you'll need an account on the cloud to which you are connecting and
|
||||||
|
an SSH key uploaded. The SSH key is used to identify and secure SSH access to containers and
|
||||||
|
other resources in Triton.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you do not already have an account on Joyent Public Cloud, sign up [here](https://www.joyent.com/public-cloud).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### API endpoint
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each data center has a single CloudAPI endpoint. For Joyent Public Cloud, you can find the
|
||||||
|
list of datacenters [here](https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/api-access/cloudapi#datacenter-urls).
|
||||||
|
For private cloud implementations, please consult the private cloud operator for the correct URL.
|
||||||
|
Have the URL handy as you'll need it in the next step.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Triton CLI 1.0.0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Setup
|
Configure the proper environmental variables that correspond to the API endpoint and account,
|
||||||
|
for example:
|
||||||
Before you can use the CLI you'll need a Joyent account, an SSH key uploaded
|
|
||||||
and `triton` configured with those account details.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Create a Joyent Public Cloud account here https://www.joyent.com/public-cloud
|
|
||||||
2. Upload an SSH key (instructions on the site above)
|
|
||||||
3. Set the proper environmental variables (instructions also above)

|
shell with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
source <(triton completion)
|
||||||

For a more permanent installation:
|
||||||
|

Packages definitions and images available vary between different datacenters
|
||||||
|
and different Triton cloud implementation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Or maybe:
|
To see all the packages offered in the datacenter and specific package information, use
|
||||||
triton completion > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/triton
|
|
||||||
|
$ triton packages
|
||||||
|
$ triton package ID|NAME
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Similarly, to find out the available images and their details, do
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ triton images
|
||||||
|
$ triton image ID|NAME
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that docker images are not shown in `triton images` as they are
|
||||||
|
maintained in Docker Hub and other third-party registries configured to be
|
||||||
|
used with Joyent's Triton clouds. **In general, docker containers should be
|
||||||
|
provisioned and managed with the regular [`docker` CLI](https://docs.docker.com/installation/#installation)
|
||||||
|
(Triton provides an endpoint that represents the *entire datacenter*
|
||||||
|
as a single `DOCKER_HOST`. See the [Triton Docker
|
||||||
|
documentation](https://apidocs.joyent.com/docker) for more information.)
