Using CLI

This section provides murano end users with information on how they can use the Application Catalog through the command-line interface (CLI).

Using python-muranoclient, the CLI client for murano, you can easily manage your environments, packages, categories, and deploy environments.

• Install and use the murano client

Manage environments

An environment is a set of logically connected applications that are grouped together for an easy management. By default, each environment has a single network for all its applications, and the deployment of the environment is defined in a single heat stack. Applications in different environments are always independent from one another.

An environment is a single unit of deployment. This means that you deploy not an application but an environment that contains one or multiple applications.

Using CLI, you can easily perform such actions with an environment as creating, renaming, editing, viewing, and others.

Create an environment

To create an environment, use the following command specifying the environment name:

$ murano environment-create <NAME>

Rename an environment

To rename an environment, use the following command specifying the old name of the environment or its ID and the new name:

$ murano environment-rename <OLD_NAME_OR_ID> <NEW_NAME>

Delete an environment

To delete an environment, use the following command specifying the environment name or ID:

$ murano environment-delete <NAME_OR_ID>

List deployments for an environment

To get a list of deployments for a particular environment, use the following command specifying the environment name or ID:

$ murano deployment-list <NAME_OR_ID>

List the environments

To get a list of all existing environments, run:

$ murano environment-list

Show environment object model

To get a complete object model of the environment, run:

$ murano environment-model-show <ID>

To get some part of the environment model, run:

$ murano environment-model-show <ID> --path <PATH>

For example:

$ murano environment-model-show 534bcf2f2fc244f2b94ad55ff0f24a42 –path /defaultNetworks/environment

To get a draft of an object model of environment in pending state, also specify id of the session:

$ murano environment-model-show <ID> --path <PATH> --session-id <SESSION_ID>

Edit environment object model

To edit an object model of the environment, run:

$ murano environment-model-edit <ID> <FILE> --session-id <SESSION_ID>

<FILE> is the path to the file with the JSON-patch to modify the object model.

JSON-patch is a valid JSON that contains a list of changes to be applied to the current object. Each change contains a dictionary with three keys: op, path and value. op (operation) can be one of the three values: add, replace or remove`.

Allowed operations for paths:

• “” (model root): no operations
• “defaultNetworks”: “replace”
• “defaultNetworks/environment”: “replace”
• “defaultNetworks/environment/?/id”: no operations
• “defaultNetworks/flat”: “replace”
• “name”: “replace”
• “region”: “replace”
• ”?/type”: “replace”
• ”?/id”: no operations

For other paths any operation (add, replace or remove) is allowed.

Example of JSON-patch:

[{
  "op": "replace",
  "path": "/defaultNetworks/flat",
  "value": true
}]

The patch above changes the value of the flat property of the environment’s defaultNetworks property to true.

Manage packages

This section describes how to manage packages using the command line interface. You can easily:

• import a package or bundles of packages
• list the existing packages
• display details for a package
• download a package
• delete a package
• create a package

Import a package

With the package-import command you can import packages into murano in several different ways:

• from a local .zip file
• from murano app repository
• from an http URL

From a local .zip file

To import a package from a local .zip file, run:

$ murano package-import /path/to/PACKAGE.zip

where PACKAGE is the name of the package stored on your computer.

For example:

$ murano package-import /home/downloads/mysql.zip
Importing package com.example.databases.MySql
+---------------------------------+------+----------------------------+--------------+---------+
| ID                              | Name | FQN                        | Author       |Is Public|
+---------------------------------+------+----------------------------+--------------+---------+
| 83e4038885c248e3a758f8217ff8241f| MySQL| com.example.databases.MySql| Mirantis, Inc|         |
+---------------------------------+------+----------------------------+--------------+---------+

To make the package available for users from other projects (tenants), use the --is-public parameter. For example:

$ murano package-import --is-public mysql.zip

Note

The package-import command supports multiple positional arguments. This means that you can import several packages at once.

From murano app repository

To import a package from murano applications repository, specify the URL of the repository with --murano-repo-url and a fully qualified package name. For package names, go to murano applications repository, and click on the desired package to see its full name.

Note

You can also specify the URL of the repository with the corresponding MURANO_REPO_URL environment variable.

The following example shows how to import the MySQL package from the murano applications repository:

$ murano --murano-repo-url=http://storage.apps.openstack.org \
package-import com.example.databases.MySql

This command supports an optional --package-version parameter that instructs murano client to download a specified package version.

The package-import command inspects package requirements specified in the package’s manifest under the Require section, and attempts to import them from murano repository. The package-import command also inspects any image prerequisites mentioned in the images.lst file in the package. If there are any image requirements, client would inspect images already present in the image database. Unless image with the specific name is present, client would attempt to download it.

If any of the packages being installed is already registered in murano, the client asks you what to do with it. You can specify the default action with --exists-action, passing s - for skip, u - for update, and a - for abort.

From an URL

To import an application package from an URL, use the following command:

$ murano package-import http://example.com/path/to/PACKAGE.zip

The example below shows how to import a MySQL package from the murano applications repository using the package URL:

$ murano package-import http://storage.apps.openstack.org/apps/com.example.databases.MySql.zip
Inspecting required images
Importing package com.example.databases.MySql
+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------+--------------+--------+----------+------------+
| ID                               | Name  | FQN                        | Author       | Active | Is Public| Type       |
+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------+--------------+--------+----------+------------+
| 1aa62196595f411399e4e48cc2f6a512 | MySQL | com.example.databases.MySql| Mirantis, Inc| True   |          | Application|
+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------+--------------+--------+----------+------------+

Import bundles of packages

With the bundle-import command you can install packages in several different ways:

• from a local bundle
• from an URL
• from murano app repository

When importing bundles, you can set their publicity with --is-public.

From a local bundle

To import a bundle from the a local file system, use the following command:

$ murano bundle-import /path/to/bundle/BUNDLE_NAME

This command imports all the requirements of packages and images.

When importing a bundle from a file system, the murano client searches for packages in a directory relative to the bundle location before attempting to download a package from repository. This facilitates cases with no Internet access.

The following example shows the import of a monitoring bundle:

$ murano bundle-import /home/downloads/monitoring.bundle
Inspecting required images
Importing package com.example.ZabbixServer
Importing package com.example.ZabbixAgent
+----------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------+---------------+--------+----------+------------+
| ID                               | Name          | FQN                      | Author        | Active | Is Public| Type       |
+----------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------+---------------+--------+----------+------------+
| fb0b35359e384fe18158ff3ed8f969b5 | Zabbix Agent  | com.example.ZabbixAgent  | Mirantis, Inc | True   |          | Application|
| 00a77e302a65420c8080dc97cc0f2723 | Zabbix Server | com.example.ZabbixServer | Mirantis, Inc | True   |          | Application|
+----------------------------------+---------------+--------------------------+---------------+--------+----------+------------+

Note

The bundle-import command supports multiple positional arguments. This means that you can import several bundles at once.

From an URL

To import a bundle from an URL, use the following command:

$ murano bundle-import http://example.com/path/to/bundle/BUNDLE_NAME

Where http://example.com/path/to/bundle/BUNDLE_NAME is any external http/https URL to load the bundle from.

For example:

$ murano bundle-import http://storage.apps.openstack.org/bundles/monitoring.bundle

From murano applications repository

To import a bundle from murano applications repository, use the following command, where bundle_name stands for the bundle name:

$ murano bundle-import BUNDLE_NAME

For example:

$ murano bundle-import monitoring

Note

For bundle names, go to murano applications repository, click the Format tab to show bundles first, and then click on the desired bundle to see its name.

List packages

To list all the existing packages you have, use the package-list command. The result will show you the package ID, name, author and if it is public or not. For example:

$ murano package-list
+----------------------------------+--------------------+-------------------------------------+---------------+--------+----------+------------+
| ID                               | Name               | FQN                                 | Author        | Active | Is Public| Type       |

Delete a package

To delete a package, use the following command:

$ murano package-delete PACKAGE_ID

Download a package

With the following command you can download a .zip archive with a specified package:

$ murano package-download PACKAGE_ID > FILE.zip

You need to specify the package ID and enter the .zip file name under which to save the package.

For example:

$ murano package-download e44a3f526dfb4e08b3c1018c9968d911 > Wordpress.zip

Create a package

With the murano client you can create application packages from package source files or directories. The package-create command is useful when application package files are spread across several directories. This command has the following required parameters:

-r RESOURCES_DIRECTORY
-c CLASSES_DIRECTORY
--type TYPE
-o PACKAGE_NAME.zip
-f FULL_NAME
-n DISPLAY_NAME

Example:

$ murano package-create -c Downloads/Folder1/Classes -r Downloads/Folder2/Resources \
-n mysql -f com.example.MySQL -d Package -o MySQL.zip --type Library
Application package is available at /home/Downloads/MySQL.zip

After this, the package is ready to be imported to the application catalog.

The package-create command is also useful for autogenerating packages from heat templates. In this case you do not need to manually specify so many parameters. For more information on automatic package composition, please see Automatic package composing.

Manage categories

In murano, applications can belong to a category or multiple categories. Administrative users can create and delete a category as well as list available categories and view details for a particular category.

Create a category

To create a category, use the following command specifying the category name:

$ murano category-create <NAME>

List available categories

To get a list of all existing categories, run:

$ murano category-list

Show category details

To see packages that belong to a particular category, use the following command specifying the category ID:

$ murano category-show <ID>

Delete a category

To delete a category, use the following command specifying the ID of a category or multiple categories to delete:

$ murano category-delete <ID> [<ID> ...]

Note

Verify that no packages belong to the category to be deleted, otherwise an error appears. For this, use the murano category-show <ID> command.

Manage environment templates

To manage environment templates, use the following commands specifying appropriate values:

murano env-template-create <ENV_TEMPLATE_NAME>
