Docker Python OpenStack Client

Easy access to OpenStack without having to install all the clients.

How to use

Two ways:

• Run openstack interactive cli:

$ docker run -ti -v $PWD/example/:/cfg --env "RC=cfg/demo-openrc.sh" --rm clsacramento/pyoscli 
(openstack) image list

• Or get a bash and execute openstack commands:

$ docker run -ti -v $PWD/example/:/cfg --env "RC=cfg/demo-openrc.sh" --rm clsacramento/pyoscli /bin/bash
root@b897b4f6fbd3:/# source $RC

Docker run options

Volume is necessary to include your openstack RC file into the docker c ontainer. If not provided, you can still 'docker run' and execute the client by passing all the --os arguments, such as --os-tenant-name etc.

If the volume mounted on the container is on the path /cliconfig and your rc file is named 'openrc' the --env option can be discarded.

This container is not going to be doing any job after execution so '--rm' option from the example is recommended.

In order to execute commands of the openstack cli, the interactive option '--ti' is required. Alternatively you could pass a script to the container executing all openstack cli command desired. For example:

$ cat example/list_images.sh 
source $RC
openstack image list

docker run  -v $PWD/example/:/cfg --env "RC=cfg/demo-openrc.sh" --rm clsacramento/pyoscli /bin/bash /cfg/list_images.sh
