Scalr CLI

"scalr" is a command-line tool that communicates directly with the Scalr API.

Beta Software

Please note that this is currently beta software and might not work as expected at all times. No guarantees are given. Use at your own risk. If you find something that is broken, please run it again with the "-verbose" flag and post the output as an issue.

Installation

Installing the Scalr cli tool is very straightforward as it's distributed as a single static binary. Simply download the zipped binary from the releases section that corresponds to your architecture and (preferably) unpack it somewhere in your PATH.

Basic usage

user@server ~$ scalr

Usage: scalr [OPTION] COMMAND [FLAGS]

  'scalr' is a command-line interface tool that communicates directly with the Scalr API

Examples:
  $ scalr -help
  $ scalr -help get-workspaces
  $ scalr get-foo-bar -flag=value
  $ scalr -verbose create-foo-bar -flag=value -flag2=value2
  $ scalr create-foo-bar < json-blob.txt

Environment variables:
  SCALR_HOSTNAME  Scalr Hostname, i.e example.scalr.io
  SCALR_TOKEN     Scalr API Token
  SCALR_ACCOUNT   Default Scalr Account ID, i.e acc-tq8cgt2hu6hpfuj  

Options:
  -version       Shows current version of this binary
  -help          Shows documentation for all (or specified) command(s)
  -verbose       Shows complete request and response communication data
  -configure     Run configuration wizard
  -update        Updates this tool to the latest version by downloading and replacing current binary
  -autocomplete  Enable shell tab auto-complete

Configure:

Before the CLI can be used, you will need to configure what Scalr URL and Token to use. This can be done using environment variables (SCALR_HOSTNAME and SCALR_TOKEN) or a configuration file. Run the CLI with the -configure flag to run the configuration wizard.

An optional environment variable called SCALR_ACCOUNT can be used to set a default account ID. When running a command that has either an -account or -account-id flag (and not manually specified with flags), it will automatically be set to that default account ID.

user@server ~$ scalr -configure
Scalr Hostname [ex: example.scalr.io]: example.scalr.io
Scalr Token (not echoed!): 
Default Scalr Account-ID [ex: acc-tq8cgt2hu6hpfuj]: acc-tq8cgt2hu6hpfuj
Configuration saved in /home/user/.scalr/scalr.conf

List available flags for a specific command:

user@server ~$ scalr -help create-environment

Usage: scalr create-environment [FLAGS] [< json-blob.txt]

  Create a new environment in the account.

  Environment's are collections of related workspaces that correspond to functional areas, SDLC stages,
  projects or any grouping that is required.

  An account can have multiple environments.

  Workspaces within an environment are where Terraform configurations are run to deploy infrastructure,
  and where state files are stored.

  An Environment can have set of policy groups assigned that are applied to all workspaces in the environment.
  The Environment can also have variables, credentials, registry modules, and VCS providers
  that are available to every workspace.

Flags:
  -account-id=STRING                          The account that owns this environment. [*required]
  -cloud-credentials-id=STRING
  -cost-estimation-enabled=BOOLEAN            Indicates if the cost estimation should be performed for `runs` in the environment.
  -default-provider-configurations-id=STRING  Provider configurations used in the environment workspaces by default.
  -name=STRING                                The name of the environment. [*required]
  -policy-groups-id=STRING

For commands that CREATES or UPDATES something, you can chose to set the values using flags (-flag=value) OR use a raw JSON blob as you would do when communicating directly with the Scalr API.

Example using flags:

user@server ~$ scalr create-environment -name=development -account-id=acc-t2fcrq6h1v3nf0g

Examples using JSON blob:

user@server ~$ scalr create-environment < json-blob.txt

user@server ~$ echo '
> {
>      "data": {
>          "attributes": {
>              "name": "development"
>          },
>          "relationships": {
>              "account": {
>                  "data": {
>                      "id": "acc-t2fcrq6h1v3nf0g",
>                      "type": "accounts"
>                  }
>              }
>          },
>          "type": "environments"
>      }
> } 
> ' | scalr create-environment

List required flags:

The -help output will tell you which flags are required. However, it can be hard to find them if the flag list is long. Simply running the command without flags will tell you which required flags have missing values.

user@server ~$ scalr lock-workspace
Missing required flag(s): [workspace]

Update CLI version:

user@server ~$ scalr -update
Latest version is 0.9.0, which is different from current installed version 0.8.0. 
Downloading version 0.9.0...
Replacing current binary with downloaded version... 
All done! Your binary is now at version 0.9.0 

Shell tab auto-complete

Enabling tab auto-completion will make working with the CLI more efficient, as the shell will automatically show you available commands, flags and options. Simply activate it with "scalr -autocomplete". You will have to restart your shell before using it. Remember to press TAB twice to make the shell show you the available options.
