Hello,
We just released the public API for GandiCloud Platform.
You can now create / manage thanks to the Openstack CLI. This post details how to configure your Openstack CLI.
GandiCloud VPS beta - How to configure the CLI ?
# Get started : Prepare your environment to use the Openstack CLI
1. install the python openstack client :
pip3 install openstackclient
2. Create a configuration file for the Openstack CLI. name “my_gostack_conf.sh”
And enter the following lines:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export OS_USERNAME="<your gandiv5 username>"
export OS_PROJECT_NAME="<The name of the Gandi registered organization you wish to manage resources for>"
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=public
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=public
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://keystone.sd6.api.gandi.net:5000/v3
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
echo "Please enter your GOStack Password for project $OS_PROJECT_NAME as user $OS_USERNAME: (same password as your gandi v5 account)"
read -sr OS_PASSWORD_INPUT
export OS_PASSWORD="$OS_PASSWORD_INPUT"
Then source it in your current shell (and on every other shell you wish to use openstack CLI):
$ source my_gostack_conf.sh
It will prompt for your password. Please note: your password will be stored in the OS_PASSWORD environment variable.
3. Your environment is ready, you shoud be able now to use the Gandi openstack CLI to create your first server
# Create your first openstack server
# Select an image for your server: image are preinstalled OS that your VM will boot with
$ openstack image list
# Select a flavor for your server, flavor is a couple of CPU&RAM you wish for your VM
$ openstack flavor list
# Create a keypair: keypair are SSH keys, you may only provide your public key, this public key will be installed on your VM allowing you to SSH on it
$ openstack keypair create --public-key <your_public_key_file> <keypair_name>
# Create your server (Note: this command will actually create a new volume and attach it to your new server)
$ openstack server create --flavor <flavor_id_or_name> --image <image_id_or_name> --boot-from-volume <size-in-GB> --network public --key-name <keypair_name> <server_hostname>
# Your server will be in status "BUILD" directly after creation, then it should switch to "ACTIVE".
# You can monitor its status using:
$ openstack server list
Congratulations, you just created your first openstack server !
You can ssh into it using your private key, or get the console URL to open in your browser using (don’t forget to set a password before connecting to the console):
openstack console url show <your_server_name_or_id>
