Triton

triton is a tool for Joyent's Triton (a.k.a. SmartDataCenter), either for on-premises installations of Triton or Joyent's Public Cloud (https://my.joyent.com, http://www.joyent.com/products/compute-service).

This project is experimental and probably broken. For now, please look at node-smartdc.

Installation

  1. Install node.js.
  2. npm install -g git://github.com/joyent/node-triton

Verify that installed and is on your PATH:

$ triton --version
Triton client 1.0.0

Before you can used the CLI you'll need a Joyent account, an SSH key uploaded and triton configured with those account details.

node-triton differences with node-smartdc

  • There is a single sdc command instead of a number of sdc-FOO commands.
  • The SDC_USER envvar is accepted in preference to SDC_ACCOUNT.

cloudapi2.js differences with node-smartdc/lib/cloudapi.js

The old node-smartdc module included an lib for talking directly to the SDC Cloud API (node-smartdc/lib/cloudapi.js). Part of this module (node-sdc) is a re-write of the Cloud API lib with some backward incompatibilities. The differences and backward incompatibilities are discussed here.

  • Currently no caching options in cloudapi2.js (this should be re-added in some form). The noCache option to many of the cloudapi.js methods will not be re-added, it was a wart.
  • The leading account option to each cloudapi.js method has been dropped. It was redundant for the constructor account option.
  • "account" is now "user" in the CloudAPI constructor.
  • All (all? at least at the time of this writing) methods in cloudapi2.js have a signature of function (options, callback) instead of the sometimes haphazard extra arguments.
