ST2_API_KEY

[ghost]

I want to know what is the ‘ST2_API_KEY’?
How do I get this value？

See https://docs.stackstorm.com/authentication.html#api-keys documentation for the StackStorm API Keys.

I'll push up a PR with a clarification in the README for this as well since I didn't initially mention it when I updated the docs, thanks for bringing it to attention. 🙂

@armab @stevemuskiewicz Thank you for your answers, but I still have a few questions.

Problem Reproduction

MacBook-Pro-8:st2-docker shansxu$ docker-compose exec st2api bash
st2@717cd2824c84:/opt/stackstorm$ st2 apikey create -k -m'{"name": "sstest"}' 
ERROR: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized
MESSAGE: Unauthorized - One of Token or API key required. for url: http://st2api:9101/apikeys
st2@717cd2824c84:/opt/stackstorm$ st2 apikey create -k -m '{"used_by": "st2admin"}'
ERROR: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized
MESSAGE: Unauthorized - One of Token or API key required. for url: http://st2api:9101/apikeys

Was it an error? How do I create an ApiKey in Docker？

[stevemuskiewicz]

@xxtaoqi first off, have you reviewed the Stackstorm docs to get an idea of how to use it? Specifically the quick start guide and also the docker install guide should be helpful here.

Also when you are running st2 commands with a docker install, you will want to connect to the st2client container, not to the st2api container. So try docker-compose exec st2client bash and see if that works better.

@stevemuskiewicz
The reason why I connected to the ST2API container is that it has failed inST2Client container.

MacBook-Pro-8:st2-docker shansxu$ docker-compose exec st2client bash
bash: /opt/stackstorm/st2/bin/python: No such file or directory

 Here you can use StackStorm CLI. Examples:

@xxtaoqi hmmm, this line in your output seems odd

bash: /opt/stackstorm/st2/bin/python: No such file or directory

Not sure but seems like something is messed up on your st2client container image... I don't know how that would normally happen but maybe worth trying to tear down the stack (docker-compose down --remove-orphans -v) and do a docker system prune -a to clear out the existing images and then try the docker-compose up -d again?

Also double check your version of docker is recent enough as detailed in the readme.
