With the arrival of this new major version increment, the unfortunate news is that breaking changes have been introduced to existing services. The API has been completely rewritten from the ground up to make the library more extensible, maintainable and easy-to-use.
Below we've compiled upgrade instructions for the various services that existed before. If you have a specific issue that is not addressed below, please submit an issue or e-mail our support team.
One of the major differences that this release introduces is the level of sub-packaging to differentiate between services and providers. You now have the option of authenticating with OpenStack and other providers (like Rackspace).
To authenticate with a vanilla OpenStack installation, you can either specify your credentials like this:
import (
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud"
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack"
)
opts := gophercloud.AuthOptions{
IdentityEndpoint: "https://my-openstack.com:5000/v2.0",
Username: "{username}",
Password: "{password}",
TenantID: "{tenant_id}",
}
Or have them pulled in through environment variables, like this:
opts, err := openstack.AuthOptionsFromEnv()
Once you have your AuthOptions
struct, you pass it in to get back a Provider
,
like so:
provider, err := openstack.AuthenticatedClient(opts)
This provider is the top-level structure that all services are created from.
Before you can interact with the Compute API, you need to retrieve a
gophercloud.ServiceClient
. To do this:
// Define your region, etc.
opts := gophercloud.EndpointOpts{Region: "RegionOne"}
client, err := openstack.NewComputeV2(provider, opts)
All operations that involve API collections (servers, flavors, images) now use
the pagination.Pager
interface. This interface represents paginated entities
that can be iterated over.
Once you have a Pager, you can then pass a callback function into its EachPage
method, and this will allow you to traverse over the collection and execute
arbitrary functionality. So, an example with list servers:
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/pagination"
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
)
// We have the option of filtering the server list. If we want the full
// collection, leave it as an empty struct or nil
opts := servers.ListOpts{Name: "server_1"}
// Retrieve a pager (i.e. a paginated collection)
pager := servers.List(client, opts)
// Define an anonymous function to be executed on each page's iteration
err := pager.EachPage(func(page pagination.Page) (bool, error) {
serverList, err := servers.ExtractServers(page)
// `s' will be a servers.Server struct
for _, s := range serverList {
fmt.Printf("We have a server. ID=%s, Name=%s", s.ID, s.Name)
}
})
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
// Get the HTTP result
response := servers.Get(client, "server_id")
// Extract a Server struct from the response
server, err := response.Extract()
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
// Define our options
opts := servers.CreateOpts{
Name: "new_server",
FlavorRef: "flavorID",
ImageRef: "imageID",
}
// Get our response
response := servers.Create(client, opts)
// Extract
server, err := response.Extract()
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
result := servers.ChangeAdminPassword(client, "server_id", "newPassword_&123")
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
result := servers.Resize(client, "server_id", "new_flavor_id")
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
// You have a choice of two reboot methods: servers.SoftReboot or servers.HardReboot
result := servers.Reboot(client, "server_id", servers.SoftReboot)
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
opts := servers.UpdateOpts{Name: "new_name"}
server, err := servers.Update(client, "server_id", opts).Extract()
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
// You have the option of specifying additional options
opts := RebuildOpts{
Name: "new_name",
AdminPass: "admin_password",
ImageID: "image_id",
Metadata: map[string]string{"owner": "me"},
}
result := servers.Rebuild(client, "server_id", opts)
// You can extract a servers.Server struct from the HTTP response
server, err := result.Extract()
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/servers"
response := servers.Delete(client, "server_id")
The server rescue extension for Compute is not currently supported.
As with listing servers (see above), you first retrieve a Pager, and then pass in a callback over each page:
import (
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/pagination"
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/images"
)
// We have the option of filtering the image list. If we want the full
// collection, leave it as an empty struct
opts := images.ListOpts{ChangesSince: "2014-01-01T01:02:03Z", Name: "Ubuntu 12.04"}
// Retrieve a pager (i.e. a paginated collection)
pager := images.List(client, opts)
// Define an anonymous function to be executed on each page's iteration
err := pager.EachPage(func(page pagination.Page) (bool, error) {
imageList, err := images.ExtractImages(page)
for _, i := range imageList {
// "i" will be an images.Image
}
})
import (
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/pagination"
"github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/flavors"
)
// We have the option of filtering the flavor list. If we want the full
// collection, leave it as an empty struct
opts := flavors.ListOpts{ChangesSince: "2014-01-01T01:02:03Z", MinRAM: 4}
// Retrieve a pager (i.e. a paginated collection)
pager := flavors.List(client, opts)
// Define an anonymous function to be executed on each page's iteration
err := pager.EachPage(func(page pagination.Page) (bool, error) {
flavorList, err := networks.ExtractFlavors(page)
for _, f := range flavorList {
// "f" will be a flavors.Flavor
}
})
Image management has been shifted to Glance, but unfortunately this service is not supported as of yet. You can, however, list Compute images like so:
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/images"
// Retrieve a pager (i.e. a paginated collection)
pager := images.List(client, opts)
// Define an anonymous function to be executed on each page's iteration
err := pager.EachPage(func(page pagination.Page) (bool, error) {
imageList, err := images.ExtractImages(page)
for _, i := range imageList {
// "i" will be an images.Image
}
})
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/extensions/keypairs"
// Retrieve a pager (i.e. a paginated collection)
pager := keypairs.List(client, opts)
// Define an anonymous function to be executed on each page's iteration
err := pager.EachPage(func(page pagination.Page) (bool, error) {
keyList, err := keypairs.ExtractKeyPairs(page)
for _, k := range keyList {
// "k" will be a keypairs.KeyPair
}
})
To create a new keypair, you need to specify its name and, optionally, a pregenerated OpenSSH-formatted public key.
import "github.com/rackspace/gophercloud/openstack/compute/v2/extensions/keypairs"
opts := keypairs.CreateOpts{
Name: "new_key",
PublicKey: "...",
}
response := keypairs.Create(client, opts)
key, err := response.Extract()
To delete an existing keypair:
response := keypairs.Delete(client, "keypair_id")
This operation is not currently supported.
