backend.ai-cli
Unified command-line interface for Backend.AI
How to adopt in CLI-enabled Backend.AI packages
An example setup.cfg in Backend.AI Manager:
[options.entry_points]
backendai_cli_v10 =
mgr = ai.backend.manager.cli.__main__:main
mgr.start-server = ai.backend.gateway.server:main
Define your package entry points that returns a Click command group using a
prefix, and add additional entry points that returns a Click command using a
prefix followed by a dot and sub-command name for shortcut access, under the
backendai_cli_v10 entry point group.
Then add backend.ai-cli to the install_requires list.
You can do the same in setup.py as well.
Shell Tab Completion
The CLI provides built-in shell tab completion support for bash, zsh, and fish shells.
Quick Setup
# Show completion setup instructions
backend.ai completion --show
# Install completion automatically
backend.ai completion --shell bash # Install to ~/.bashrc
backend.ai completion --shell zsh # Install to ~/.zshrc
backend.ai completion --shell fish # Install to fish completions
Manual Setup
If you prefer manual setup, you can add completion to your shell configuration:
Bash (~/.bashrc):
eval "$(_BACKEND_AI_COMPLETE=bash_source backend.ai)"
Zsh (~/.zshrc):
eval "$(_BACKEND_AI_COMPLETE=zsh_source backend.ai)"
Fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish):
backend.ai completion --shell fish | source
Features
Tab completion supports:
- Commands: All available commands and subcommands
- Options: Short and long flags with descriptions
- Arguments: Context-aware argument completion where applicable
- Help: Descriptions for commands and options
Examples
backend.ai <TAB> # Show all available commands
backend.ai session <TAB> # Show session subcommands
