knife-maas

This is the knife plugin to talk to MAAS. This also assumes you have MAAS configured with at least one user account. You'll need your API key as one of the configuration options. There is a MAAS cookbook that this plugin has been tested against.

This also assumes you have >= 2.0.0 of MAAS installed, and >= Chef 12 installed.

The version 2.0.0+ of this knife plugin, requires version 2.0 of MAAS API.

Please refer to the CHANGELOG for version history.

Run the following to install the plugin.

gem install knife-maas

knife[:maas_site] - The MAAS that you'd like to interact with, ex: "http://172.16.100.54/MAAS/", you'll need the ending / like the web gui.

knife[:maas_api_key] - The MAAS API key from your settings page, ex: "Th1sIsFAKEY3f9Lvm:jaaMAASfgDVbjR9:jS6JPX8bKEYFp8W2DR7MBuPb9QrEFbYT"

Note: Due to some limitations in the MAAS API anything that has both -h and -s are required to function. Hopefully future releases will only require one option.

knife maas server list - Outputs the nodes inside on MAAS

knife maas server <subcommand> --help - is available and there are other options that aren't listed here. These are the most commonly used ones.

knife maas server acquire - Acquires a node under your account

knife maas server bootstrap - Acquires and starts a node under your account, and bootstraps chef on it with your default settings

knife maas server start -s NODE-(UUID) - Starts up the node

knife maas server stop -s NODE-(UUID) - Stops the node

knife maas server release -s NODE-(UUID) -h HOSTNAME- Releases the node and puts it back in the available resources. This also has a -P command to purge it from your chef server.

knife maas server delete -s NODE-(UUID) -h HOSTNAME - Removes the node completely from MAAS. This also has a -P command to purge it from your chef server.
