### Example workflow
|
|
|
|
Grabbing a token for authenticated pooler requests:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
floaty token get --user username --url https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will then ask you to log in. If successful, it will return a token that you can save either in a dotfile or use with other cli commands.
|
|
|
|
Grabbing vms:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
floaty get centos-7-x86_64=2 debian-7-x86_64=1 windows-10=3 --token mytokenstring --url https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### vmfloaty dotfile
|
|
|
|
If you do not wish to continuely specify various config options with the cli, you can have a dotfile in your home directory for some defaults. For example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
#file at /Users/me/.vmfloaty.yml
|
|
url: 'https://vmpooler.mycompany.net/api/v1'
|
|
user: 'brian'
|
|
token: 'tokenstring'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now vmfloaty will use those config files if no flag was specified.
|
|
|
|
#### Valid config keys
|
|
|
|
Here are the keys that vmfloaty currently supports:
|
|
|
|
- verbose
|
|
+ Boolean
|
|
- token
|
|
+ String
|
|
- user
|
|
+ String
|
|
- url
|
|
+ String
|
|
|
|
## vmpooler API
|
|
|
|
This cli tool uses the [vmpooler API](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler/blob/master/API.md).
|
|
|
|
## Using the Pooler class
|
|
|
|
vmfloaty providers a `Pooler` class that gives users the ability to make requests to vmpooler without having to write their own requests. It also provides an `Auth` class for managing vmpooler tokens within your application.
|
|
|
|
