nfifo

nFiFo

This is a little handy node.js lib to connect to Project FiFo, an VM administration system that uses SmartOS.

Its a simplist alternative to fifo.js that let you query the fifo api.

It will read the file ~/.fifo just like pyfi to read the login credentials

How to use it

Check out an example here.

Additionally, you can install it as a CLI, with npm install nfifo -g:

  nfifo vms

nfifo --method delete datasets 8639203c-d515-11e3-9571-5bf3a74f354f

nfifo --curl true packages

• Dump the zvol of the dataset base64-14.1.0 to a file

nfifo --json false datasets 8639203c-d515-11e3-9571-5bf3a74f354f dataset.gz > file.zvol.gz

• Create a new package, from stdin

echo '{"cpu_cap": 100, "name": "small", "quota": 10, "ram": 1024}' | nfifo --method post --stdin packages
