juju-quickstart 1.3.4.b1

Juju Quickstart is a Juju plugin which allows for easily setting up a Juju environment in very few steps. The environment is bootstrapped and set up so that it can be managed using a Web interface (the Juju GUI).

Juju Quickstart is an opinionated command-line tool that quickly starts Juju and the GUI, whether you’ve never installed Juju or you have an existing Juju environment running.

Features include the following:

• New users are guided, as needed, to install Juju, set up SSH keys, and configure it for first use.

• Juju environments can be created and managed from a command line interactive session.

• The Juju GUI is automatically installed, adding no additional machines (installing on an existing state server when possible).

• Bundles can be deployed, from local files, HTTP(S) URLs, or the charm store, so that a complete topology of services can be set up in one simple command.

• Quickstart ends by opening the browser and automatically logging the user into the GUI, to observe and manage the environment visually.

• Users with a running Juju environment can run the quickstart command again to simply re-open the GUI without having to find the proper URL and password.

To start Juju Quickstart, run the following:

juju-quickstart [-i]

Run juju-quickstart -h for a list of all the available options.

Once Juju has been installed, the command can also be run as a juju plugin, without the hyphen (juju quickstart).
