Flow Swiss CLI

This command line interface serves as an additional frontend for the Flow Swiss platforms.

Test

Installation

If you have GoLang installed, you can download and install the CLI with

go install github.com/flowswiss/cli/v2/cmd/flow@latest

Otherwise, you will need to download the executable for your system from the release section in the github repository.

Usage

After downloading you first need to authenticate the cli with using application token. You can get a new token by creating one in the Flow Swiss portal.

Once you have a token, you need to set it up in the cli. You can do this by creating a .flow/config.json file in your home directory with the following content:

{
  "token": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}

Alternatively, you can pass the token as an argument to the cli with the --token flag or by setting the FLOW_TOKEN environment variable.

Once you have successfully logged in into your account, you can start manipulating things in your organization. As a first step it would be a good idea to upload your personal ssh key onto our platform. You will need this for every linux virtual machine you deploy.

flow compute key-pair create \
    --name my-key-pair \
    --public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Just to test things out, you can try creating an ubuntu virtual machine using the previously uploaded key pair:

flow compute server create \
    --name my-server \
    --location alp1 \
    --image ubuntu-20.04 \
    --product b1.1x1 \
    --key-pair my-key-pair

Further usage manuals can be found in the application itself using the -h or --help flags.
