You need to have an Account at [accounts.ungleich.ch](https://account.ungleich.ch). If you don't have it create one. + +2. Login and click on **SHOW SEEDS** button. On the next page it will show you your seed mentioned next to your user realm. + +## Installation + +To install `ucloud-cli` you need to execute the following commands. Make sure you have [Python 3.7](https://www.python.org/) and [pipenv](https://pypi.org/project/pipenv/) installed. + +1. Clone `ucloud-cli` git repository. `ucloud-cli` is needed to talk with ucloud backend i.e create/delete/start/stop VM, attach network to VM etc. + ```bash + git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ucloud-cli.git + ``` + +2. Change your directory to recently cloned repository. + ```bash + cd ucloud-cli + ``` +3. Install dependencies of `ucloud-cli` + ```bash + pipenv install + ``` +4. Activate `ucloud-cli` + ```bash + pipenv shell + ``` +5. Run the following command to ensure that you have successfully installed `ucloud-cli` + ```bash + python ucloud.py + ``` + + If the output looks somewhat similar to this then you have successfully installed `ucloud-cli` + + ```bash + Usage: ucloud.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... + + Options: + --help Show this message and exit. + + Commands: + host + image + user + vm + ``` + +## Examples + +### Create VM + +1. Create a file name *specs.json* and put your required VM's specification in it. Save it in `ucloud-cli` directory. A sample is given below. + ```json + { + "cpu": 2, + "ram": "2GB", + "hdd": "10GB" + } + ``` +2. Find out which image you want to use by running the following command. Image means the Operating System which you want to use in your VM. + ```bash + python ucloud.py image list --public + ``` + It will show list of available images. Sample output + + ```json + { + "253286ee-5a74-4747-808d-e47d7c3ce4ed": { + "filename": "alpine.qcow2", + "name": "alpine", + "owner": "ahmedbilal-admin", + "status": "CREATED", + "store_name": "images", + "visibility": "public" + }, + "1245856ee-2345-4747-56798-ejdf72394d": { + "filename": "devuan.qcow2", + "name": "devuan", + "owner": "ahmedbilal-admin", + "status": "CREATED", + "store_name": "images", + "visibility": "public" + } + } + ``` +3. Suppose, we want to create our VM with alpine Image. So, we would use uuid of alpine linux i.e **253286ee-5a74-4747-808d-e47d7c3ce4ed**. + +4. Run the following command to create your VM. + ```bash + python ucloud vm create --name {YOUR_USERNAME} --realm {YOUR_REALM} --seed {YOUR_SEED} --specs specs.json --image_uuid 253286ee-5a74-4747-808d-e47d7c3ce4ed + ``` + + It will show something like the following + + ```json + { + "message": "VM Creation Queued" + } + ``` \ No newline at end of file
