potctl

potctl is a CLI for the installation, configuration, and operation of ioFog Edge Compute Networks (ECNs). It can be used to remotely manage multiple ECNs from a single host. It is built for ioFog users and DevOps engineers wanting to manage ECNs. It is modelled on existing tools such as Terraform or kubectl that can be used to automate infrastructure-as-code.

Autocomplete

If you are running BASH or ZSH, potctl comes with shell autocompletion scripts. In order to generate those scripts, run:

potctl autocomplete bash

OR

potctl autocomplete zsh

Then follow the instructions output by the command.

Example:

potctl autocomplete bash
✔ $HOME/.iofog/completion.bash.sh generated
Run `source $HOME/.iofog/completion.bash.sh` to update your current session
Add `source $HOME/.iofog/completion.bash.sh` to your bash profile to have it saved

source $HOME/.iofog/completion.bash.sh
echo "$HOME/.iofog/completion.bash.sh" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

Build from Source

This project uses go modules so it must be built from outside of your $GOPATH.

Go 1.16+ is a prerequisite. Install all other dependancies with:

make bootstrap

Make sure that your $PATH contains $GOBIN, otherwise make build will fail on the basis that command rice is not found.

See all make commands by running:

make

To build and install, go ahead and run:

make build install
potctl --help

potctl is installed in /usr/local/bin

Running Tests

Run project unit tests:

make test

This will output a JUnit compatible file into reports/TEST-potctl.xml that can be imported in most CI systems.

Embed assets

Run project build:

make build
