RancherShell

A console utility for shelling into Rancher containers

RancherShell runs as a binary on your system and only needs rubygems to be installed:

gem install rancher-shell

Configuration files are loaded in the following order if they exist:

• ~/.rancher-shell.yml
• ./.rancher-shell.yml

Files are merged using the following schema:

---
# ~/.rancher-shell.yml
projects:
  project1:
    name: "My First Project"
    options:
      container: production_web_1
      command: bundle exec rails console
    stacks:
      staging:
        options:
          container: staging_web_1
    api:
      host: rancher.yourdomain.com
      key: XXXXX
      secret: XXXXX

---
# /path/to/project1/.rancher-shell.yml
options:
  project: project1
projects:
  project1:
    stacks:
      qa:
        options:
          container: qa_web_1

Running rancher-shell exec with the above config will run command bundle exec rails console on project1 within container production_web_1. Running rancher-shell exec -s staging will run the same command but within container staging_web_1. Full usage instructions on how to override these configs is at rancher-shell help exec.

After configuring you can shell into your container using the following command:

rancher-shell exec [-p project] [-s stack] [-c container] [command]

Run rancher-shell help for full usage instructions

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
