# node-triton
|
|
|
|
`triton` is a CLI tool for working with the CloudAPI for Joyent's Triton [Public Cloud]
|
|
(https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud) and [Private Cloud] (https://docs.joyent.com/private-cloud).
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There is currently another CLI tool known as [node-smartdc](https://github.com/joyent/node-smartdc)
|
|
for CloudAPI. `node-smartdc` CLI works off the 32-character object UUID to uniquely
|
|
identify object instances in API requests, and returns response payload in JSON format.
|
|
The CLI covers both basic and advanced usage of [CloudAPI](https://apidocs.joyent.com/cloudapi/).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/).
|
|
2. `npm install -g triton`
|
|
|
|
Verify that it is installed and on your PATH:
|
|
|
|
$ triton --version
|
|
Triton CLI 1.0.0
|
|
|
|
Configure the proper environmental variables that correspond to the API endpoint and account,
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
SDC_URL=https://us-east-3b.api.joyent.com
|
|
SDC_ACCOUNT=dave.eddy@joyent.com
|
|
SDC_KEY_ID=04:0c:22:25:c9:85:d8:e4:fa:27:0d:67:94:68:9e:e9
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Bash completion
|
|
|
|
You can quickly source `triton` bash completions in your current
|
|
shell with:
|
|
|
|
source <(triton completion)
|
|
|
|
For a more permanent installation:
|
|
|
|
triton completion >> ~/.bashrc
|
|
|
|
# Or maybe:
|
|
triton completion > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/triton
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Create and view instances
|
|
|
|
$ triton instances
|
|
SHORTID NAME IMG STATE PRIMARYIP AGO
|
|
|
|
We have no instances created yet, so let's create some. In order to create
|
|
an instance we need to specify two things: an image and a package. An image
|
|
represents what will be used as the root of the instances filesystem, and the
|
|
package represents the size of the instance, eg. ram, disk size, cpu shares,
|
|
etc. More information on images and packages below - for now we'll just use
|
|
SmartOS 64bit and a small 128M ram package which is a combo available on the
|
|
Joyent Public Cloud.
|
|
|
|
$ triton create-instance base-64 t4-standard-128M
|
|
|
|
Without a name specified, the container created will have a generated ID. Now
|
|
to create a container-native Ubuntu 14.04 container with 2GB of ram with the
|
|
name "server-1"
|
|
|
|
$ triton create-instance --name=server-1 ubuntu-14.04 t4-standard-2G
|
|
|
|
Now list your instances again
|
|
|
|
$ triton instances
|
|
SHORTID NAME IMG STATE PRIMARYIP AGO
|
|

### Manage an instance
|
|
|
|
Commonly used container operations are supported in the Triton CLI.
|
|
More operations will be added to the list over time.
|
|
|
|
$ triton help
|
|
...
|
|
instance-audit List instance actions.
|
|
start-instance (start) Start a single instance.
|
|
stop-instance (stop) Stop a single instance.
|
|
reboot-instance (reboot) Reboot a single instance.
|
|
delete-instance (delete) Delete a single instance.
|
|
wait-instance (wait) Wait on instances changing state.
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
### View packages and images
|
|
|
|
Package definitions and images available vary between different datacenters
|
|
and different Triton cloud implementations.
|
|
|
|
To see all the packages offered in the datacenter and specific package information, use
|
|
|
|
$ 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.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
This section defines all the vars in a TritonApi config. The baked in defaults
|
|
are in "etc/defaults.json" and can be overriden for the CLI in
|
|
"~/.triton/config.json".
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description |
|
|
| ---- | ----------- |
|
|
| profile | The name of the triton profile to use. The default with the CLI is "env", i.e. take config from `SDC_*` envvars. |
|
|
| cacheDir | The path (relative to the config dir, "~/.triton") where cache data is stored. The default is "cache", i.e. the `triton` CLI caches at "~/.triton/cache". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## node-triton differences with node-smartdc
|
|
|
|
- There is a single `triton` command instead of a number of `sdc-*` commands.
|
|
- The `SDC_USER` env variable 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-triton) 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Development Hooks
|
|
|
|
Before commiting be sure to, at least:
|
|
|
|
make check # lint and style checks
|
|
make test-unit # run unit tests
|
|
|
|
A good way to do that is to install the stock pre-commit hook in your
|
|
clone via:
|
|
|
|
make git-hooks
|
|
|
|
Also please run the full (longer) test suite (`make test`). See the next
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Test suite
|
|
|
|
node-triton has both unit tests (`make test-unit`) and integration tests (`make
|
|
test-integration`). Integration tests require a config file, by default at
|
|
"test/config.json". For example:
|
|
|
|
$ cat test/config.json
|
|
{
|
|
"profileName": "east3b",
|
|
"allowWriteActions": true,
|
|
"image": "minimal-64",
|
|
"package": "t4-standard-128M"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
See "test/config.json.sample" for a description of all config vars. Minimally
|
|
just a "profileName" or "profile" is required.
|
|
|
|
Run all tests:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
You can use `TRITON_TEST_CONFIG` to override the test file, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
$ cat test/coal.json
|
|
{
|
|
"profileName": "coal",
|
|
"allowWriteActions": true
|
|
}
|
|
$ TRITON_TEST_CONFIG=test/coal.json make test
|
|
|
|
where "coal" here refers to a development Triton (a.k.a SDC) ["Cloud On A
|
|
Laptop"](https://github.com/joyent/sdc#getting-started) standup.
