Description:

architectclient 0.8.6

Client library and CLI for Architect API service.

Client Installation
Following steps show how to deploy and configure Architect Client.
pip install architect-client
Create configuration file /etc/architect/client.yml for client.
For single inventory use:
host: architect-api
port: 8181
client_id: salt-master-name
token: architect-token

Multiple Inventory Support
host: architect-api
port: 8181
token: architect-token
If the inventory_mappings is specified, multiple inventories can be queried
from the single orchestrator according to the node name.
inventory_mappings:
node.domain: project01-name
node2.domain: inventory02-name


SaltStack Integration
To setup architect as Salt master Pillar source, set following configuration
to your Salt master at /etc/salt/master.d/_master.conf file.
ext_pillar:
- cmd_yaml: 'architect-salt-pillar %s'
To setup architect as Salt master Tops source, set following configuration
to your Salt master at /etc/salt/master.d/_master.conf file.
master_tops:
ext_nodes: architect-salt-top
You can test the SaltStack Pillar by calling command:
$ architect-salt-pillar {{ minion-id }}


Ansible Integration
To setup architect as Ansible dynamic inventory source, set following
configuration to your Ansible control node.
$ ansible -i architect-ansible-inventory
You can test the ansible inventory by calling command:
$ architect-ansible-inventory --list


Puppet Integration
To tell Puppet Server to use an ENC, you need to set two settings:
node_terminus has to be set to “exec”, and external_nodes must have
the path to the executable.
[master]
node_terminus = exec
external_nodes = /usr/local/bin/architect-puppet-classifier


Chef Integration
We can use -j parameter of chef-client command, It’s the path to a
file that contains JSON data used to setup the client run. We pass
$ architect-chef-data {{ node_name }} {{ file_name }}.json
$ chef-client -j {{ file_name }}.json --environment _default



Client Usage
You can use the client to initialise the inventories.
$ architect-inventory-create <cluster-name> <cluster-domain>
You can use the client to initialise the SaltStack managers.
$ architect-manager-salt-create <manager-name> <manager-url> <manager-username> <manager-password>
