ecHome CLI

This CLI is for use with interacting with the ecHome virtual machine manager.

The CLI allows for managing aspects of ecHome with commands. The CLI uses the ecHome Python SDK and is responsible for starting and authenticating user sessions, making the calls to the API, returning raw JSON responses, and in the future, objects based on the services.

Authentication

This library works by using config/credentials in the user's home directory in .echome. Fill in the contents of the files with the following information:

File: ~/.echome/config

[default]
server=<ECHOME-SERVER-IP>
format=table

Replace <ECHOME-SERVER-IP> with the IP address of the server running ecHome. The format can either be table or json. This variable is only used in the ecHome CLI.

File: ~/.echome/credentials

[default]
access_id = <AUTH-ID>
secret_key = <AUTH-SECRET-KEY>

Alternatively, set the following environment variables at a minimum:

export ECHOME_SERVER=<ECHOME-SERVER-IP>
export ECHOME_ACCESS_ID=<AUTH-ID>
export ECHOME_SECRET_KEY=<AUTH-SECRET-KEY>

Example commands

$ echome
usage: echome <service> <subcommand> [<args>]

The most commonly used ecHome service commands are:
   vm         Interact with ecHome virtual machines.
   sshkeys    Interact with SSH keys used for virtual machines.

$ echome vm describe-all

Development

Initialize your environment

Create your virtual environment and install libraries.

$ virtualenv -p python3.8 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up your ~/.echome directory with a config and credentials file that allows you to connect to the echome server (setup guide above).

Test commands with python cli/main.py:

(venv)$ python cli/main.py vm describe-all
Name              Vm Id        Instance Size    State    IP              Image                        Created
----------------  -----------  ---------------  -------  --------------  ---------------------------  --------------------------
