Cloudsmith Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Cloudsmith Command Line Interface (CLI) is a Python 3 text-based interface to the API. This allows users, machines and other services to access and integrate smoothly with Cloudsmith without requiring explicit plugins or tools. Be awesome. Automate Everything.

The following asciinema video demonstrates some of the CLI commands:

We also have a demo video on YouTube:

You can also read our blog article that introduced the first version of the CLI and the Cloudsmith RESTful API.

Installation

You can install the latest CLI application from:

• Official CLI Repository @ PyPi
• Official CLI Repository @ Cloudsmith

The simplest way is to use pip, such as:

pip install --upgrade cloudsmith-cli

Or you can get the latest pre-release version from Cloudsmith:

pip install --upgrade cloudsmith-cli --extra-index-url=https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/cloudsmith/cli/python/index/

Configuration

There are two configuration files used by the CLI:

• config.ini: For non-credentials configuration.
• credentials.ini: For credentials (authentication) configuration.

By default, the CLI will look for these in the following locations:

• The current working directory.
• A directory called cloudsmith in the OS-defined application directory. For example:
  • Linux:
    • $HOME/.config/cloudsmith
    • $HOME/.cloudsmith
  • Mac OS:
    • $HOME/Library/Application Support/cloudsmith
    • $HOME/.cloudsmith
  • Windows:
    • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\cloudsmith (Win7+, not roaming)
    • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\cloudsmith (Win7+, roaming)
    • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\cloudsmith (WinXP, not roaming)
    • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\cloudsmith (WinXP, roaming)
    • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.cloudsmith

Both configuration files use the simple INI format, such as:

[default]
api_key=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Additionally, the CLI will store SSO access and refresh tokens in the system keyring using the keyring library.

Non-Credentials (config.ini)

See the default config in GitHub:

You can specify the following configuration options:

• api_host: The API host to connect to.
• api_proxy: The API proxy to connect through.
• api_ssl_verify: Whether or not to use SSL verification for requests.
• api_user_agent: The user agent to use for requests.

Credentials (credentials.ini)

See the default config in GitHub:

You can specify the following configuration options:

• api_key: The API key for authenticating with the API.

Authenticating

You'll need to provide authentication to Cloudsmith for any CLI actions that result in accessing private data or making changes to resources (such as pushing a new package to a repository)..

SAML authentication

You can authenticate using your organization's SAML provider, if configured, with the cloudsmith auth command:

cloudsmith auth --owner example
Beginning authentication for the example org ...
Opening your organization's SAML IDP URL in your browser: https://example.com/some-saml-idp

Starting webserver to begin authentication ...

Authentication complete

Getting Your API Key

You can retrieve your API key using the cloudsmith login command:

cloudsmith login
Login: [e-mail]
Password:
Repeat for confirmation:

Note: Please ensure you use your email for the 'Login' prompt and not your user slug/identifier.

The resulting output looks something like:

Retrieving API token for '[e-mail]' ... OK
Your API token is: 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

Once you have your API key you can then put this into your credentials.ini, use it as an environment variable export CLOUDSMITH_API_KEY=your_key_here or pass it to the CLI using the -k your_key_here flag.

For convenience the CLI will ask you if you want to install the default configuration files, complete with your API key, if they don't already exist. Say 'y' or 'yes' to create the configuration files.

If the configuration files already exist, you'll have to manually put the API key into the configuration files, but the CLI will print out their locations.

Uploading Packages

Although native uploads, i.e. those supported by the native ecosystem of a package format, are often preferred; it's easy to publish with the Cloudsmith CLI too!

For example, if you wanted to upload a Debian package, you can do it in one-step. Assuming you have a package filename libxml2-2.9.4-2.x86_64.deb, representing libxml 2.9.4, for the Ubuntu 16.04 distribution (which has a cloudsmith identifier of ubuntu/xenial):

cloudsmith push deb your-account/your-repo/ubuntu/xenial libxml2-2.9.4-2.x86_64.deb

Want to know how to do it with another packaging format? Easy, just ask for help:

cloudsmith push rpm --help
