Seashell CLI

Teams often have struggle to manually setup and configure local development environments and integrate them to their cloud infrastructure. The Seashell CLI provides them with a tool to:

• Setup software development tools in isolated local environments
• Configure, integrate and sync local/remote development environments with their cloud infrastructure deployed via Seashell

Getting started

• Runtime dependencies:

  • Hashicorp Vagrant 2.2.10+
  • Oracle Virtualbox 6.1.14+

• Build dependencies:

  • GNU Make 4.3+
  • Golang 1.15.2+

• To build and install the CLI, simply clone the repository and run the installation command:

~$ git clone https://github.com/seashell/cli.git seashell-cli && \
cd seashell-cli && make install

• To verify an installation, run:

~$ seashell --version

Features

• Isolated and shareable development environments based on Vagrant + Virtualbox
• Fully customizable and extensible virtual machines as base environments
• Compatible with Linux, Windows & Mac OS
• Infrastructure configuration synchronization between the local/remote environments and the cloud

Development requirements

• Easy installation
• Standard environment based on projects, independent from developer setup
• Synchronization with the Seashell Cloud Platform for security and convenience
• Configurable and extensible to adapt to existing workflows, e.g. not enforce CI tools, GIT provider or any specific automation tool, other than those required by the Seashell Cloud.

Roadmap

• Implement basic CLI structure in golang
• Implement dev command structure and subcommands (init, update, list and destroy)
• Implement dev command vagrant interfaces
• Implement authentication with the Seashell Cloud platform
• Implement interactions with the Seashell Cloud platform (fetch information, perform actions)
• Configure CI/CD with github actions and submit an official release to github
• Make the seashell CLI compatible with Windows
