Knife podnix Build Status Coverage Status

DESCRIPTION:

This is a knife plugin to create, bootstrap and manage servers on the podnix IaaS.

INSTALLATION:

gem install knife-podnix

If building the nokogiri C extension fails have a look at this wiki page: Nokogiri-installation

CONFIGURATION:

You need to provide your podnix API_KEY, either via options(--podnix_api_key 'PODNIX_API_KEY') or add them to your knife.rb

knife[:podnix_api_key] = "PODNIX_API_KEY"

or store them in environment variables

export PODNIX_API_KEY=YOURAPIKEY

SUBCOMMANDS:

This plugin provides the following Knife subcommands. Specific command options can be found by invoking the subcommand with a --help flag.

knife podnix server create

Provisions a new server and then perform a Chef bootstrap (using the SSH protocol). The goal of the bootstrap is to get Chef installed on the target system so it can run Chef Client with a Chef Server.

During provisioning your password will be uploaded to the newly created server, thus you can ssh your server with that password.

The following knife-podnix options are required:

-N, --name SERVER_NAME           name for the newly created Server.
-f, --flavor                     Specify the model of your server. This will define the amount of vCores 
                                 and RAM that your server will get. MODEL IN PODNIX(by vcore size) `1, 2, 4, 8`.
                                 RAM is double the size of VCORE.
-P, --password PASSWORD          Specifies the root password (on Linux) or administrator password (on Windows).
                                 Must contain at least 9 chars and include a lower case char, an upper case char and a number.
                                 eg:-`Secret123`.
-I, --image IMAGE_ID             Specify the image to base your server on. This will define operating system 
                                 and pre-installed software. Fot more `knife podnix image list`. eg:- `37`for Ubuntu 13.04 (64bit).

The following are optional options provided by knife: --storage SIZE Specify the size (in GB) of the system drive. Valid size is 10-250. Default is 10. --ssd 1 If this parameter is set to 1, the system drive will be located on a SSD drive. --[no-]bootstrap Bootstrap the server with knife bootstrap

-N, --node-name NAME             The Chef node name for your new node default is the name of the server.
-s, --server-url URL             Chef Server URL
    --key KEY                    API Client Key
    --[no-]color                 Use colored output, defaults to enabled
-c, --config CONFIG              The configuration file to use
    --defaults                   Accept default values for all questions
    --disable-editing            Do not open EDITOR, just accept the data as is
-d, --distro DISTRO              Bootstrap a distro using a template; default is 'ubuntu12.04-gems'
-e, --editor EDITOR              Set the editor to use for interactive commands
-E, --environment ENVIRONMENT    Set the Chef environment
-F, --format FORMAT              Which format to use for output
    --identity-file IDENTITY_FILE
                                 The SSH identity file used for authentication
    --print-after                Show the data after a destructive operation
-r, --run-list RUN_LIST          Comma separated list of roles/recipes to apply
    --template-file TEMPLATE     Full path to location of template to use
-V, --verbose                    More verbose output. Use twice for max verbosity
-v, --version                    Show chef version
-y, --yes                        Say yes to all prompts for confirmation
