OCI CLI Container 🚀

Run the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI from a Docker or Podman container, without installing oci-cli directly on your host.

✨ What You Get

Feature	Details
🧰 OCI CLI included	Builds a local image with oci-cli installed
🐳 Docker/Podman support	Choose your runtime from env.mk
🔐 Host OCI config	Reuses your local $HOME/.oci configuration
🌐 Proxy build option	Use make oci-proxy when a proxy is required

📦 Project Files

File	Purpose
oci-cli_containerfile	Container build recipe
Makefile	Build, update, and cleanup commands
env.mk	Runtime, version, revision, and proxy settings

🛠️ Make Targets

Command	Description
make oci	🏗️ Build the OCI CLI container image
make oci-proxy	🌐 Build the image using HTTP_PROXY from env.mk
make oci-cleanup	🧹 Remove the local OCI CLI image
make oci-update	🔄 Rebuild the image from scratch

🚀 Quick Start

1. Edit env.mk and select your runtime:

   RUNTIMECT=$(PODMAN)
   # RUNTIMECT=$(DOCKER)

2. Build the image:

   make oci

   If you need a proxy, set HTTP_PROXY in env.mk and run:

   make oci-proxy

3. Add an oci alias to your shell profile.

   For Podman:

   alias oci='podman run --rm -it --userns=keep-id -v "$HOME/.oci:$HOME/.oci:z" --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /tmp oci'

   For Docker:

   alias oci='docker run --rm -it -v "$HOME/.oci:$HOME/.oci" -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /tmp oci'

✅ Example

oci os ns get

{
  "data": "mytenancy"
}

💡 Your OCI CLI configuration stays on the host under $HOME/.oci.
