This project is a simple command line tool for the Abiquo Cloud Platform API, using Jython as a wrapper to the Official Java client. To understand the code and adapt it to your needs, you may want to take a look at the official Java client project page:

• jclouds-abiquo Source code
• jclouds-abiquo Documentation

To run Kahuna you will need to install Maven >= 2.2.1, JRE >= 1.6 and Jython >= 2.5.2.

Since this project is currently in development process and we don't have any egg package ready, the $JYHTONPATH environment variable needs to be set manually:

export JYTHONPATH=$(YOUR_PROJECT_HOME_DIRECTORY)

You must also copy the config/kahuna.conf file to $HOME/.kahuna/kahuna.conf and edit it to configure the connection to your Abiquo Platform. It is also a good choice to add the script to your PATH. You could simply create a symlink to the kahuna script in /usr/local/bin:

cd <kahuna source directory>
cp config/kahuna.conf ~/.kahuna/kahuna.conf  # Then edit the file accordingly
chmod u+x kahuna.sh
ln -s $(pwd)/kahuna.sh /usr/local/bin/kahuna

You can run now the command line as follows. If you run it without parameters, it will print the help with all the available options:

$ kahuna

Usage: kahuna <plugin> <command> [<options>]
The following plugins are available:

Interactive shell plugin. 
    shell open     Opens an interactive shell.

Template plugin. 
    template find	 Find a template given its name. 
    template list	 List all available templates. 

Virtual machine plugin. 
    vm create       Creates a virtual machine based on a given template. 
    vm delete       Delete a virtual machine given its name. 
    vm deploy       Deploy an existing virtual machine given its name. 
    vm find         Find a virtual machine given its name. 
    vm list         List all virtual machines. 
    vm undeploy     Undeploy an existing virtual machine given its name. 

You can also perform actions against the Api in an interactive way. You just need to use the 'shell' plugin as follows:

$ kahuna shell open
Jython 2.5.2 (Release_2_5_2:7206, Mar 2 2011, 23:12:06) 
[Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_18

>>> vdc = cloud.listVirtualDatacenters()[0]
>>> vdc.setName("Updated VDC")
>>> vdc.update()
>>> cloud.listVirtualDatacenters()
