Scalr CLI Overview
Scalr CLI
"scalr" is a command-line tool that communicates directly with the Scalr API.
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 the 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, but is no longer needed for most CLI calls.
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 [OPTION] create-environment [FLAGS] [< json-blob.txt]
Create a new environment in the account.
Flags:
-cost-estimation-enabled=BOOLEAN Indicates if the cost estimation should be performed for `runs` in the environment.
-default-provider-configurations-id=LIST Provider configurations used in the environment workspaces by default.
-name=STRING The name of the environment. [*required]
-policy-groups-id=LIST
-tags-id=LIST
For commands that CREATES or UPDATES something, you can choose 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
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 0.15.5, which is different from current installed version 0.15.3.
Downloading version 0.15.5...
Replacing current binary with downloaded version...
All done! Your binary is now at version 0.15.5
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.
