This project is no longer under active development. We had a number of issues with it, in particular with using the Fog vCloud client rather than the vCloud Director client, such as timing out when provisioning vApps.
Please take a look at our new vCloud provisioning project: vCloud Tools.
This is a wrapper around the vCloud director API that should allow for easy provisioning of VMs.
gem install vcloud-box-spinner
You should be able to do vcloud-box-spinner --help
Usage: vcloud-box-spinner [options] <org_config> <machine_config>
Provision a machine described by the JSON template `machine_config` in the vCloud organisation
described in the JSON config file `org_config`
e.g. vcloud-box-spinner -u username orgs/staging.json machines/frontend-1.json
-c, --credential=GROUP fog credential group
-u, --user=USERNAME vCloud username
-p, --password=PASSWORD vCloud password
-F, --ssh-config=FILENAME SSH config file(s) to use (can be specified multiple times)
-s, --setup-script=SETUP-SCRIPT path to setup script that should run after machine is brought up
-d, --debug Enable debugging output
-v, --verbose Enable verbose output
-h, --help Show usage instructions
To provision a machine you will need to specify at least two JSON files:
- A JSON config file which tells the provisioner about the vCloud organisation into which it is to provision a vApp
- A JSON config file which defines the machine-specific setup
Options:
-
useris the username on your "vmware vcloud director" page (usually in the top right corner). -
setup-scriptallows you to pass a script file path (shell), which would be loaded as guest customization script. The purpose of providing this option, is to let user do some basic bootstraping. The script is not for the purpose of encouraging configuration management and that should be done separately. A particular example of how you can use the script is - You can set ssh configuration for a user(eg ci), which can ssh in the system later and run the config management script/tool. On how to write this script please refer the following links:
The best way to understand the formats of the json files, read the docs here
Once you have an org and machine config, you can invoke the provisioner as follows:
vcloud-box-spinner -u username -p password org_config.json machine_config.json
FOG_RCspecifies the fog credentials file if not~/.fog.FOG_CREDENTIALspecifies the credential group if notdefault.
