skynx-cli

This repository contains skynxctl, a tool for managing the skynx SASE platform from the command line.

skynxctl is available for a variety of Linux platforms, macOS and Windows.

Minimun Requirements

skynxctl has the same minimum requirements as Go:

• Linux kernel version 2.6.23 or later
• Windows 7 or later
• FreeBSD 11.2 or later
• MacOS 10.11 El Capitan or later

Getting Started

See Quick Start to learn how to start building your skynx cloud-agnostic architecture.

Documentation

Installation

Binary Downloads

Linux, macOS and Windows binary downloads are available from the Releases page.

You can download the pre-compiled binaries and install them with the appropriate tools.

Linux Installation

Linux binary installation with curl

• Download the latest release.

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/linux/amd64/skynxctl"
  

• Validate the binary (optional).

  Download the skynxctl checksum file:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/linux/amd64/skynxctl_checksum.sha256"
  

  Validate the skynxctl binary against the checksum file:

  sha256sum --check < skynxctl_checksum.sha256
  

  If valid, the output must be:

  skynxctl: OK
  

  If the check fails, sha256 exits with nonzero status and prints output similar to:

  skynxctl: FAILED
  sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
  

• Install skynxctl.

  sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 skynxctl /usr/local/bin/skynxctl
  

  Note: If you do not have root access on the target system, you can still install skynxctl to the ~/.local/bin directory:

  chmod +x skynxctl
  mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
  mv ./skynxctl ~/.local/bin/skynxctl
  # and then append (or prepend) ~/.local/bin to $PATH
  

Package Repository

skynx provides a package repository that contains both DEB and RPM downloads.

For DEB-based platforms (e.g. Ubuntu and Debian) run the following to set up a new APT sources.list entry and install skynx-cli:

echo 'deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.skynx.com/apt/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skynx.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install skynx-cli

For RPM-based platforms (e.g. RHEL, CentOS) use the following to create a repo file and install skynx-cli:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/skynx.repo
[skynx]
name=skynx Repository - Stable
baseurl=https://repo.skynx.com/yum
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
sudo yum install skynx-cli

Homebrew installation on Linux

If you are on Linux and using Homebrew package manager, you can install the skynx CLI with Homebrew.

• Run the installation command:

  brew install skynx-io/tap/skynx-cli
  

• Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:

  skynxctl version show
  

macOS Installation

macOS binary installation with curl

• Download the latest release.

  Intel:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/darwin/amd64/skynxctl"
  

  Apple Silicon:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/darwin/arm64/skynxctl"
  

• Validate the binary (optional).

  Download the skynxctl checksum file:

  Intel:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/darwin/amd64/skynxctl_checksum.sha256"
  

  Apple Silicon:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/darwin/arm64/skynxctl_checksum.sha256"
  

  Validate the skynxctl binary against the checksum file:

  shasum --algorithm 256 --check skynxctl_checksum.sha256
  

  If valid, the output must be:

  skynxctl: OK
  

  If the check fails, sha256 exits with nonzero status and prints output similar to:

  skynxctl: FAILED
  sha256sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
  

• Make the skynxctl binary executable.

  chmod +x skynxctl
  

• Move the skynxctl binary to a file location on your system PATH.

  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
  sudo mv skynxctl /usr/local/bin/skynxctl
  sudo chown root: /usr/local/bin/skynxctl
  

  Note: Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH environment variable.

Homebrew installation on macOS

If you are on macOS and using Homebrew package manager, you can install the skynx CLI with Homebrew.

• Run the installation command:

  brew install skynx-io/tap/skynx-cli
  

• Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date:

  skynxctl version show
  

Windows Installation

Windows binary installation with curl

• Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and create a folder for skynx.

  mkdir 'C:\Program Files\skynx'
  

• Download the latest release into the skynx folder.

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/windows/amd64/skynxctl.exe"
  

• Validate the binary (optional).

  Download the skynxctl.exe checksum file:

  curl -LO "https://dl.skynx.com/binaries/stable/latest/windows/amd64/skynxctl.exe_checksum.sha256"
  

  Validate the skynxctl.exe binary against the checksum file:

  • Using Command Prompt to manually compare CertUtil's output to the checksum file downloaded:

    CertUtil -hashfile skynxctl.exe SHA256
    type skynxctl.exe_checksum.sha256
    

  • Using PowerShell to automate the verification using the -eq operator to get a True or False result:

    $($(CertUtil -hashfile skynxctl.exe SHA256)[1] -replace " ", "") -eq $(type skynxctl.exe_checksum.sha256).split(" ")[0]
    

• Append or prepend the folder C:\Program Files\skynx to your PATH environment variable.

• Test to ensure the version of skynxctl is the same as downloaded.

  skynxctl version show
  

Artifacts Verification

Binaries

All artifacts are checksummed and the checksum file is signed with cosign.

• Download the files you want and the checksums.txt, checksum.txt.pem and checksums.txt.sig files from the Releases page:

• Verify the signature:

  cosign verify-blob \
      --cert checksums.txt.pem \
      --signature checksums.txt.sig \
      checksums.txt
  

• If the signature is valid, you can then verify the SHA256 sums match the downloaded binary:

  sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
  

Docker Images

Our Docker images are signed with cosign.

Verify the signatures:

COSIGN_EXPERIMENTAL=1 cosign verify skynx/skynxctl

Configuration

The first time you run skynxctl, you will be assisted to generate your skynxctl.yml. This config file will be located by default at the $HOME/.skynx directory.

See the skynxctl configuration reference to find all the configuration options.

Usage

See usage with:

skynxctl help

Running with Docker

You can also run skynxctl as a Docker container. See the example below.

Registries:

• skynx/skynxctl
• ghcr.io/skynx-io/skynxctl

Example usage:

docker run --rm -ti -v $HOME/.skynx:/root/.skynx:ro skynx/skynxctl help
