dciclient 4.0.1.post202410021140

Python client for DCI Control Server

python-dciclient

The python-dciclient project provides both the python bindings and a CLI to the DCI Control Server

Installation

The team behind the project offers repositories for Red Hat/CentOS:

• yum -y install https://packages.distributed-ci.io/dci-release.el7.noarch.rpm

Then simply run yum install python2-dciclient for Python 2 or yum install python3-dciclient for Python 3.

As mentioned above, the package provides two things:

• The CLI: a dcictl command is provided. For more details dcictl --help.
• The API: a python module one can use to interact with a control server (dciclient.v1.api.*)

Credentials

Admitting one has valid credentials to use the DCI Control Server platform, there are two way to specify those informations while using dcictl:

• A dcirc file:

A file where the necessary credentials are stored. This file needs then to be sourced before using dcictl. Example:

export DCI_LOGIN=foo
export DCI_PASSWORD=bar
export DCI_CS_URL=https://api.distributed-ci.io

or using the API secret method:

export DCI_CLIENT_ID=<client_type>/<client_id>
export DCI_API_SECRET=<api_secret>
export DCI_CS_URL=https://api.distributed-ci.io

Where client_type can currently be remoteci or feeder

Which will allow the user to run the command: dcictl team-list

• At the command line level:

One can pass those informations on the CLI level. Example: dcictl --dci-login jdoe --dci-password jdoe --dci-cs-url 'https://api.distributed-ci.io' team-list or dcictl --dci-client-id <client_type>/<client_id> --dci-api-secret <api_secret> --dci-cs-url 'https://api.distributed-ci.io' team-list

Where client_type can currently be remoteci or feeder

For RemoteCIs or Feeders please use the API Secret to authenticate.

dci-vault

If you want to store secrets in your YAML configuration files (settings or inventories), you can use the dci-vault command to do so. The various agents will then decrypt the secrets transparently. For example:

$ source dcirc.sh
$ echo -n 42 | dci-vault encrypt_string --stdin-name answer
Reading plaintext input from stdin. (ctrl-d to end input)
answer: !vault |
          $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
          36373332616633313866333234303166616237613332316534393834663934663463353433363464

dci-vault is a thin layer on top of ansible-vault so all the sub-commands of ansible-vault are available.

dci-create-component

To create a component, you can use the dci-create-component utility. For example, to create the ga component called My product with version 1.0 on the OCP-4.11 topic, use it like that:

$ source dcirc.sh
$ dci-create-component OCP-4.11 "My Product" 1.0 ga

dci-find-latest-component

dci-find-latest-component allows to find the latest component for a product. For example to find the latest GA OCP component on the most recent topic, you can do it like this:

$ source dcirc.sh
$ dci-find-latest-component --tags build:ga OpenShift ocp

To lookup the latest GA OCP component for a specific topic for example OCP-4.11, you can do it like this:

$ source dcirc.sh
$ dci-find-latest-component --topic OCP-4.11 --tags build:ga OpenShift ocp

dci-diff-jobs

dci-diff-jobs allows to compare the components of 2 jobs:

$ source dcirc.sh

+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+

If the --job_id_1 is not specified, the last job in success status is searched.

If the --job_id_2 is not specified, a job is searched with the same name, remoteci, topic, configuration and url than the job 1.

dci-create-job

To create a job without running a DCI agent, you can use the dci-create-job utility. It is useful if you want to associate a CI job that is not a DCI job.

$ source dcirc.sh
$ dci-create-job --topic OCP-4.14 --remoteci my-remoteci --name jenkins-job --comment "my comment"  --comp 'OpenShift 4.14.10' --tag my-tag --key-value key=42 --data '{"jenkins_url": "https://jenkins.corp.com/job/name/42"}'
