##Using the Openstack Compute provider

Creating a client is straight-forward:

  var openstack = pkgcloud.compute.createClient({
    provider: 'openstack', // required
    username: 'your-user-name', // required
    password: 'your-password', // required
    authUrl: 'your identity service url' // required
  });

Note: Due to variances between OpenStack deployments, you may or may not need a region option.

More options for creating clients

API Methods

Servers

client.getServers(callback)

Lists all servers that are available to use on your Openstack account

Callback returns f(err, servers) where servers is an Array

client.createServer(options, callback)

Creates a server with the options specified

Options are as follows:

{
  name: 'serverName', // required
  flavor: 'flavor1',  // required
  image: 'image1',    // required
  personality: []     // optional
}

Returns the server in the callback f(err, server)

client.destroyServer(server, callback)

Destroys the specified server

Takes server or serverId as an argument and returns the id of the destroyed server in the callback f(err, serverId)

client.getServer(server, callback)

Gets specified server

Takes server or serverId as an argument and returns the server in the callback f(err, server)

client.rebootServer(server, options, callback)

Reboots the specifed server with options

Options include:

{
  type: 'HARD' // optional (defaults to 'SOFT')
}

Returns callback with a confirmation

client.rebuildServer(server, options, callback)

Rebuilds the specifed server with options

Options include:

{
  image: '45a01744-2bcf-4a23-ae88-63317f768a2f', // required; image ID or instance of pkgcloud.core.compute.Image
  accessIPv4: '123.45.67.89' // optional; IPv4 address of server
  accessIPv6: 'f0::09', // optional; IPv6 address of server
  adminPass: 'foobar', // optional; administrator password for the server
  metadata: { group: 'webservers' }, // optional; metadata key/value pairs
  personality: [ { path: '/etc/banner.txt', contents: 'ICAgICAgDQo' } ], // optional; personality files - path and contents
  'OS-DCF:diskConfig': 'AUTO' // optional; disk configuration value ("AUTO" | "MANUAL")  
}

Returns callback with a confirmation

Note about backwards compatiblity: For backwards compatibility, it is also possible to pass an image ID or instance of pkgcloud.core.compute.Image as the value of the options argument.

client.getVersion(callback)

Get the current version of the api returned in a callback f(err, version)

client.getLimits(callback)

Get the current API limits returned in a callback f(err, limits)

flavors

client.getFlavors(callback)

Returns a list of all possible server flavors available in the callback f(err, flavors)

client.getFlavor(flavor, callback)

Returns the specified flavor of Openstack Images by ID or flavor object in the callback f(err, flavor)

images

client.getImages(callback)

Returns a list of the images available for your account

f(err, images)

client.getImage(image, callback)

Returns the image specified

f(err, image)

client.createImage(options, callback)

Creates an Image based on a server

Options include:

{
  name: 'imageName',  // required
  server: 'serverId'  // required
}

Returns the newly created image

f(err, image)

client.destroyImage(image, callback)

Destroys the specified image and returns a confirmation

f(err, {ok: imageId})

Volume Attachments

Attaching a volume to a compute instance requires using an openstack compute client, as well as possessing a volume or volumeId. Detaching volumes behaves the same way.

client.getVolumeAttachments(server, callback)

Gets an array of volumeAttachments for the provided server.

f(err, volumeAttachments)

client.getVolumeAttachmentDetails(server, attachment, callback)

Gets the details for a provided server and attachment. attachment may either be the attachmentId or an object with attachmentId as a property.

f(err, volumeAttachment)

client.attachVolume(server, volume, callback)

Attaches the provided volume to the server. volume may either be the volumeId or an instance of Volume.

f(err, volumeAttachment)

client.detachVolume(server, attachment, callback)

Detaches the provided attachment from the server. attachment may either be the attachmentId or an object with attachmentId as a property. If the volume is mounted this call will return an err.

f(err)
