ecHome Python SDK

This Python library is for use with interacting with the ecHome virtual machine manager.

This library allows for managing aspects of ecHome with classes. The SDK is responsible for starting and authenticating user sessions, making the calls to the API, returning raw JSON responses, and in the future, objects based on the services.

If you're looking for a CLI interface for managing your ecHome server, visit echome-cli and install the CLI tool which uses this library. If you're interested in programmatically interfacing with ecHome, this is the library to do so.

Authentication

This library works by using config/credentials in the user's home directory in .echome. Fill in the contents of the files with the following information:

File: ~/.echome/config

[default]
server=<ECHOME-SERVER-IP>
format=table

Replace <ECHOME-SERVER-IP> with the IP address of the server running ecHome. The format can either be table or json. This variable is only used in the ecHome CLI.

File: ~/.echome/credentials

[default]
access_id = <AUTH-ID>
secret_key = <AUTH-SECRET-KEY>

Alternatively, set the following environment variables at a minimum:

export ECHOME_SERVER=<ECHOME-SERVER-IP>
export ECHOME_ACCESS_ID=<AUTH-ID>
export ECHOME_SECRET_KEY=<AUTH-SECRET-KEY>

Example code

An example for interacting with the SDK:

from echome import Session, Vm, Images, SshKey

import json

vm_client = Session().client("Vm")

vms = vm_client.describe_all()
print("VMs__________________________________")
for vm in vms:
    name = vm["tags"]["Name"] if "Name" in vm["tags"] else ""
    print(f"{vm['instance_id']}\t{name}")

guest_images = Session().client("Images").guest().describe_all()
print("\nGuest Images_______________________")
for guest_img in guest_images:
    print(f"{guest_img['guest_image_id']}\t{guest_img['name']}")

ssh_keys = Session().client("SshKey").describe_all()
print("\nSSH Keys___________________________")
for sshkey in ssh_keys:
    print(f"{sshkey['key_id']}\t{sshkey['key_name']}\t{sshkey['fingerprint']}")
