Unlike other clients, this library exclusively uses the command\nline tool (oc) to achieve the interactions. This approach comes with important benefits and disadvantages when compared\nto other client libraries.\n\nPros:\n\n- No additional software needs to be installed on the cluster. If a system with python support can (1) invoke `oc`\n  locally OR (2) ssh to a host and invoke `oc`, you can use the library.\n- Portable. If you have python and `oc` working, you don't need to worry about OpenShift versions or machine architectures.\n- Custom resources are supported and treated just like any other resource. There is no need to generate code to support them.\n- Quick to learn. If you understand the `oc` command line interface, you can use this library.\n\nCons:\n\n- This API is not intended to implement something as complex as a controller. For example, it does not implement\n  watch functionality. If you can't imagine accomplishing your use case through CLI interactions, this API is probably\n  not the right starting point for it.\n- If you care about whether a REST API returns a particular error code, this API is probably not for you. Since it\n  is based on the CLI, high level return codes are used to determine success or failure.\n\n## Reader Prerequisites\n\n* Familiarity with OpenShift [command line interface](https://docs.okd.io/latest/cli_reference/index.html)\n  is highly encouraged before exploring the API's features. The API leverages\n  the [oc](https://docs.okd.io/latest/cli_reference/openshift_cli/getting-started-cli.html#cli-getting-started)\n  binary and, in many cases, passes method arguments directly on to the command line. This document cannot, therefore,\n  provide a complete description of all possible OpenShift interactions -- the user may need to reference\n  the CLI documentation to find the pass-through arguments a given interaction requires.\n\n* A familiarity with Python is assumed.\n\n## Setup\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n1. Download and install the OpenShift [command-line Tools](https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/clients/ocp/latest/) needed to access your OpenShift cluster.\n\n### Installation Instructions\n\n#### Using PIP\n\n1. Install the `openshift-client` module from PyPI.\n    ```bash\n    sudo pip install openshift-client\n    ```\n\n#### For development\n\n1. Git clone https://github.com/openshift/openshift-client-python.git (or your fork).\n2. Add required libraries\n    ```bash\n    sudo pip install -r requirements.txt\n    ```\n3. Append ./packages to your PYTHONPATH environment variable (e.g. export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/packages:$PYTHONPATH).\n4. Write and run your python script!\n\n## Usage\n\n### Quickstart\n\nAny standard Python application should be able to use the API if it imports the openshift package. The simplest\npossible way to begin using the API is login to your target cluster before running your first application.\n\nCan you run `oc project` successfully from the command line? Then write your app!\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/python\nimport openshift_client as oc\n\nprint('OpenShift client version: {}'.format(oc.get_client_version()))\nprint('OpenShift server version: {}'.format(oc.get_server_version()))\n\n# Set a project context for all inner `oc` invocations and limit execution to 10 minutes\nwith oc.project('openshift-infra'), oc.timeout(10 * 60):\n    # Print the list of qualified pod names (e.g. ['pod/xyz', 'pod/abc', ...]  in the current project\n    print('Found the following pods in {}: {}'.format(oc.get_project_name(), oc.selector('pods').qnames()))\n\n    # Read in the current state of the pod resources and represent them as python objects\n    for pod_obj in oc.selector('pods').objects():\n\n        # The APIObject class exposes several convenience methods for interacting with objects\n        print('Analyzing pod: {}'.format(pod_obj.name()))\n        pod_obj.print_logs(timestamps=True, tail=15)\n\n        # If you need access to the underlying resource definition, get a Model instance for the resource\n        pod_model = pod_obj.model\n\n        # Model objects enable dot notation and allow you to navigate through resources\n        # to an arbitrary depth without checking if any ancestor elements exist.\n        # In the following example, there is no need for boilerplate like:\n        #    `if .... 'ownerReferences' in pod_model['metadata'] ....`\n        # Fields that do not resolve will always return oc.Missing which \n        # is a singleton and can also be treated as an empty dict.\n        for owner in pod_model.metadata.ownerReferences:  # ownerReferences == oc.Missing if not present in resource\n            # elements of a Model are also instances of Model or ListModel\n            if owner.kind is not oc.Missing:  # Compare as singleton\n                print('  pod owned by a {}'.format(owner.kind))  # e.g. pod was created by a StatefulSet\n\n```\n\n### Selectors\n\nSelectors are a central concept used by the API to interact with collections\nof OpenShift resources. As the name implies, a \"selector\" selects zero or\nmore resources on a server which satisfy user specified criteria. An apt\nmetaphor for a selector might be a prepared SQL statement which can be\nused again and again to select rows from a database.\n\n```python\n# Create a selector which selects all projects.\nproject_selector = oc.selector(\"projects\")\n\n# Print the qualified name (i.e. \"kind/name\") of each resource selected.\nprint(\"Project names: \" + project_selector.qnames())\n\n# Count the number of projects on the server.\nprint(\"Number of projects: \" + project_selector.count_existing())\n\n# Selectors can also be created with a list of names.\nsa_selector = oc.selector([\"serviceaccount/deployer\", \"serviceaccount/builder\"])\n\n# Performing an operation will act on all selected resources. In this case,\n# both serviceaccounts are labeled.\nsa_selector.label({\"mylabel\": \"myvalue\"})\n\n# Selectors can also select based on kind and labels.\nsa_label_selector = oc.selector(\"sa\", labels={\"mylabel\": \"myvalue\"})\n\n# We should find the service accounts we just labeled.\nprint(\"Found labeled serviceaccounts: \" + sa_label_selector.names())\n\n# Create a selector for a set of kinds.\nprint(oc.selector(['dc', 'daemonset']).describe())\n```\n\nThe output should look something like this:\n\n```\nProject names: [u'projects/default', u'projects/kube-system', u'projects/myproject', u'projects/openshift', u'projects/openshift-infra', u'projects/temp-1495937701365', u'projects/temp-1495937860505', u'projects/temp-1495937908009']\nNumber of projects: 8\nFound labeled serviceaccounts: [u'serviceaccounts/builder', u'serviceaccounts/deployer']\n```\n\n### APIObjects\n\nSelectors allow you to perform \"verb\" level operations on a set of objects, but\nwhat if you want to interact objects at a schema level?\n\n```python\nprojects_sel = oc.selector(\"projects\")\n\n# .objects() will perform the selection and return a list of APIObjects\n# which model the selected resources.\nprojects = projects_sel.objects()\n\nprint(\"Selected \" + len(projects) + \" projects\")\n\n# Let's store one of the project APIObjects for easy access.\nproject = projects[0]\n\n# The APIObject exposes methods providing simple access to metadata and common operations.\nprint('The project is: {}/{}'.format(project.kind(), project.name()))\nproject.label({'mylabel': 'myvalue'})\n\n# And the APIObject allow you to interact with an object's data via the 'model' attribute.\n# The Model is similar to a standard dict, but also allows dot notation to access elements\n# of the structured data.\nprint('Annotations:\\n{}\\n'.format(project.model.metadata.annotations))\n\n# There is no need to perform the verbose 'in' checking you may be familiar with when\n# exploring a Model object. Accessing Model attributes will always return a value. If the\n# any component of a path into the object does not exist in the underlying model, the\n# singleton 'Missing' will be returned.\n\nif project.model.metadata.annotations.myannotation is oc.Missing:\n    print(\"This object has not been annotated yet\")\n\n# If a field in the model contains special characters, use standard Python notation\n# to access the key instead of dot notation.\nif project.model.metadata.annotations['my-annotation'] is oc.Missing:\n    print(\"This object has not been annotated yet\")\n\n# For debugging, you can always see the state of the underlying model by printing the\n# APIObject as JSON.\nprint('{}'.format(project.as_json()))\n\n# Or getting deep copy dict. Changes made to this dict will not affect the APIObject.\nd = project.as_dict()\n\n# Model objects also simplify looking through kubernetes style lists. For example, can_match\n# returns True if the modeled list contains an object with the subset of attributes specified.\n# If this example, we are checking if the a node's kubelet is reporting Ready:\noc.selector('node/alpha').object().model.status.conditions.can_match(\n    {\n        'type': 'Ready',\n        'status': \"True\",\n    }\n)\n\n\n# can_match can also ensure nest objects and list are present within a resource. Several\n# of these types of checks are already implemented in the openshift.status module.\ndef is_route_admitted(apiobj):\n    return apiobj.model.status.can_match({\n        'ingress': [\n            {\n                'conditions': [\n                    {\n                        'type': 'Admitted',\n                        'status': 'True',\n                    }\n                ]\n            }\n        ]\n    })\n```\n\n### Making changes to APIObjects\n\n```python\n# APIObject exposes simple interfaces to delete and patch the resource it represents.\n# But, more interestingly, you can make detailed changes to the model and apply those\n# changes to the API.\n\nproject.model.metadata.labels['my_label'] = 'myvalue'\nproject.apply()\n\n\n# If modifying the underlying API resources could be contentious, use the more robust\n# modify_and_apply method which can retry the operation multiple times -- refreshing\n# with the current object state between failures.\n\n# First, define a function that will make changes to the model.\ndef make_model_change(apiobj):\n    apiobj.model.data['somefile.yaml'] = 'wyxz'\n    return True\n\n\n# modify_and_apply will call the function and attempt to apply its changes to the model\n# if it returns True. If the apply is rejected by the API, the function will pull\n# the latest object content, call make_model_change again, and try the apply again\n# up to the specified retry account.\nconfigmap.modify_and_apply(make_model_change, retries=5)\n\n\n# For best results, ensure the function passed to modify_and_apply is idempotent:\n\ndef set_unmanaged_in_cvo(apiobj):\n    desired_entry = {\n        'group': 'config.openshift.io/v1',\n        'kind': 'ClusterOperator',\n        'name': 'openshift-samples',\n        'unmanaged': True,\n    }\n\n    if apiobj.model.spec.overrides.can_match(desired_entry):\n        # No change required\n        return False\n\n    if not apiobj.model.spec.overrides:\n        apiobj.model.spec.overrides = []\n\n    context.progress('Attempting to disable CVO interest in openshift-samples operator')\n    apiobj.model.spec.overrides.append(desired_entry)\n    return True\n\n\nresult, changed = oc.selector('clusterversion.config.openshift.io/version').object().modify_and_apply(set_unmanaged_in_cvo)\nif changed:\n    context.report_change('Instructed CVO to ignore openshift-samples operator')\n\n```\n\n### Running within a Pod\n\nIt is simple to use the API within a Pod. The `oc` binary automatically\ndetects it is running within a container and automatically uses the Pod's serviceaccount token/cacert.\n\n### Tracking oc invocations\n\nIt is good practice to setup at least one tracking context within your application so that\nyou will be able to easily analyze what `oc` invocations were made on your behalf and the result\nof those operations. *Note that details about all `oc` invocations performed within the context will\nbe stored within the tracker. Therefore, do not use a single tracker for a continuously running\nprocess -- it will consume memory for every oc invocation.*\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/python\nimport openshift_client as oc\n\nwith oc.tracking() as tracker:\n    try:\n        print('Current user: {}'.format(oc.whoami()))\n    except:\n        print('Error acquiring current username')\n\n    # Print out details about the invocations made within this context.\n    print(tracker.get_result())\n```\n\nIn this case, the tracking output would look something like:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"status\": 0,\n  \"operation\": \"tracking\",\n  \"actions\": [\n    {\n      \"status\": 0,\n      \"verb\": \"project\",\n      \"references\": {},\n      \"in\": null,\n      \"out\": \"aos-cd\\n\",\n      \"err\": \"\",\n      \"cmd\": [\n        \"oc\",\n        \"project\",\n        \"-q\"\n      ],\n      \"elapsed_time\": 0.15344810485839844,\n      \"internal\": false,\n      \"timeout\": false,\n      \"last_attempt\": true\n    },\n    {\n      \"status\": 0,\n      \"verb\": \"whoami\",\n      \"references\": {},\n      \"in\": null,\n      \"out\": \"aos-ci-jenkins\\n\",\n      \"err\": \"\",\n      \"cmd\": [\n        \"oc\",\n        \"whoami\"\n      ],\n      \"elapsed_time\": 0.6328380107879639,\n      \"internal\": false,\n      \"timeout\": false,\n      \"last_attempt\": true\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can record actions yourself by passing an action_handler to the tracking\ncontextmanager. Your action handler will be invoked each time an `oc` invocation completes.\n\n```python\ndef print_action(action):\n    print('Performed: {} - status={}'.format(action.cmd, action.status))\n\n\nwith oc.tracking(action_handler=print_action):\n    try:\n        print('Current project: {}'.format(oc.get_project_name()))\n        print('Current user: {}'.format(oc.whoami()))\n    except:\n        print('Error acquiring details about project/user')\n\n```\n\n### Time limits\n\nHave a script you want to ensure succeeds or fails within a specific period of time? Use\na `timeout` context. Timeout contexts can be nested - if any timeout context expires,\nthe current oc invocation will be killed.\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/python\nimport openshift_client as oc\n\n\ndef node_is_ready(node):\n    ready = node.model.status.conditions.can_match({\n        'type': 'Ready',\n        'status': 'True',\n    })\n    return ready\n\n\nprint(\"Waiting for up to 15 minutes for at least 6 nodes to be ready...\")\nwith oc.timeout(15 * 60):\n    oc.selector('nodes').until_all(6, success_func=node_is_ready)\n    print(\"All detected nodes are reporting ready\")\n```        \n\nYou will be able to see in `tracking` context results that a timeout occurred for an affected\ninvocation. The `timeout` field will be set to `True`.\n\n### Advanced contexts\n\nIf you are unable to use a KUBECONFIG environment variable or need fine grained control over the\nserver/credentials you communicate with for each invocation, use openshift-client-python contexts.\nContexts can be nested and cause oc invocations within them to use the most recently established\ncontext information.\n\n```python\nwith oc.api_server('https:///....'):  # use the specified api server for nested oc invocations.\n\n    with oc.token('abc..'):  # --server=... --token=abc... will be included in inner oc invocations.\n        print(\"Current project: \" + oc.get_project_name())\n\n    with oc.token('def..'):  # --server=... --token=def... will be included in inner oc invocations.\n        print(\"Current project: \" + oc.get_project_name())\n```\n\nYou can control the loglevel specified for `oc` invocations.\n\n```python\nwith oc.loglevel(6):\n    # all oc invocations within this context will be invoked with --loglevel=6\n    oc...   \n```\n\nYou ask `oc` to skip TLS verification if necessary.\n\n```python\nwith oc.tls_verify(enable=False):\n    # all oc invocations within this context will be invoked with --insecure-skip-tls-verify\n    oc...   \n```\n\n### Something missing?\n\nMost common API iterations have abstractions, but if there is no openshift-client-python API\nexposing the `oc` function you want to run, you can always use `oc.invoke` to directly pass arguments to\nan `oc` invocation on your host.\n\n```python\n# oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged -z my-sa-name\noc.invoke('adm', ['policy', 'add-scc-to-user', 'privileged', '-z', 'my-sa-name'])\n```\n\n### Running oc on a bastion host\n\nIs your oc binary on a remote host? No problem. Easily remote all CLI interactions over SSH using the client_host\ncontext. Before running this command, you will need to load your ssh agent up with a key\nappropriate to the target client host.\n\n```python\nwith openshift_client.client_host(hostname=\"my.cluster.com\", username=\"root\", auto_add_host=True):\n    # oc invocations will take place on my.cluster.com host as the root user.\n    print(\"Current project: \" + oc.get_project_name())\n```\n\nUsing this model, your Python script will run exactly where you launch it, but all oc invocations will\noccur on the remote host.\n\n### Gathering reports and logs with selectors\n\nVarious objects within OpenShift have logs associated with them:\n\n- pods\n- deployments\n- daemonsets\n- statefulsets\n- builds\n- etc..\n\nA selector can gather logs from pods associated with each (and for each container within those pods). Each\nlog will be a unique value in the dictionary returned.\n\n```python\n# Print logs for all pods associated with all daemonsets \u0026 deployments in openshift-monitoring namespace.\nwith oc.project('openshift-monitoring'):\n    for k, v in oc.selector(['daemonset', 'deployment']).logs(tail=500).iteritems():\n        print('Container: {}\\n{}\\n\\n'.format(k, v))\n```\n\nThe above example would output something like:\n\n```\nContainer: openshift-monitoring:pod/node-exporter-hw5r5(node-exporter)\ntime=\"2018-10-22T21:07:36Z\" level=info msg=\"Starting node_exporter (version=0.16.0, branch=, revision=)\" source=\"node_exporter.go:82\"\ntime=\"2018-10-22T21:07:36Z\" level=info msg=\"Enabled collectors:\" source=\"node_exporter.go:90\"\ntime=\"2018-10-22T21:07:36Z\" level=info msg=\" - arp\" source=\"node_exporter.go:97\"\n...\n```\n\nNote that these logs are held in memory. Use tail or other available method parameters to ensure\npredictable and efficient results.\n\nTo simplify even further, you can ask the library to pretty-print the logs for you:\n\n```python\noc.selector(['daemonset', 'deployment']).print_logs()\n```\n\nAnd to quickly pull together significant diagnostic data on selected objects, use `report()` or `print_report()`.\nA report includes the following information for each selected object, if available:\n\n- `object` - The current state of the object.\n- `describe` - The output of describe on the object.\n- `logs` - If applicable, a map of logs -- one of each container associated with the object.\n\n```python\n# Pretty-print a detail set of data about all deploymentconfigs, builds, and configmaps in the \n# current namespace context.\noc.selector(['dc', 'build', 'configmap']).print_report()\n```\n\n### Advanced verbs:\n\nRunning oc exec on a pod.\n\n```python\n    result = oc.selector('pod/alertmanager-main-0').object().execute(['cat'],\n                                                                     container_name='alertmanager',\n                                                                     stdin='stdin for cat')\nprint(result.out())\n```\n\nFinding all pods running on a node:\n\n```python\nwith oc.client_host():\n    for node_name in oc.selector('nodes').qnames():\n        print('Pods running on node: {}'.format(node_name))\n        for pod_obj in oc.get_pods_by_node(node_name):\n            print('  {}'.format(pod_obj.fqname()))\n```\n\nExample output:\n\n```\n...\nPods running on node: node/ip-172-31-18-183.ca-central-1.compute.internal\n  72-sus:pod/sus-1-vgnmx\n  ameen-blog:pod/ameen-blog-2-t68qn\n  appejemplo:pod/ejemplo-1-txdt7\n  axxx:pod/mysql-5-lx2bc\n...\n```\n\n## Examples\n\n- [Some unit tests](examples/cluster_tests.py)\n\n## Environment Variables\n\nTo allow openshift-client-python applications to be portable between environments without needing to be modified,\nyou can specify many default contexts in the environment.\n\n### Defaults when invoking `oc`\n\nEstablishing explicit contexts within an application will override these environment defaults.\n\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_OC_PATH` - default path to use when invoking `oc`\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_CONFIG_PATH` - default `--kubeconfig` argument\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_API_SERVER` - default `--server` argument\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_CA_CERT_PATH` - default `--cacert` argument\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_PROJECT` - default `--namespace` argument\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_OC_LOGLEVEL` - default `--loglevel` argument\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY` - default `--insecure-skip-tls-verify`\n\n### Master timeout\n\nDefines an implicit outer timeout(..) context for the entire application. This allows you to ensure\nthat an application terminates within a reasonable time, even if the author of the application has\nnot included explicit timeout contexts. Like any `timeout` context, this value is not overridden\nby subsequent `timeout` contexts within the application. It provides an upper bound for the entire\napplication's oc interactions.\n\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_MASTER_TIMEOUT`\n\n### SSH Client Host\n\nIn some cases, it is desirable to run an openshift-client-python application using a local `oc` binary and\nin other cases, the `oc` binary resides on a remote client. Encoding this decision in the application\nitself is unnecessary.\n\nSimply wrap you application in a `client_host` context without arguments. This will try to pull\nclient host information from environment variables if they are present. If they are not present,\nthe application will execute on the local host.\n\nFor example, the following application will ssh to `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_HOSTNAME` if it is defined\nin the environment. Otherwise, `oc` interactions will be executed on the host running the python application.\n\n```python\nwith oc.client_host():  # if OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_HOSTNAME if not defined in the environment, this is a no-op\n    print('Found nodes: {}'.format(oc.selector('nodes').qnames()))\n```\n\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_HOSTNAME` - The hostname on which the `oc` binary resides\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_USERNAME` - Username to use for the ssh connection (optional)\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_PORT` - SSH port to use (optional; defaults to 22)\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_SSH_AUTO_ADD` - Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, unknown hosts will automatically be trusted.\n- `OPENSHIFT_CLIENT_PYTHON_DEFAULT_LOAD_SYSTEM_HOST_KEYS` - Defaults to `true`. If true, the local known hosts information will be used.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenshift%2Fopenshift-client-python","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fopenshift%2Fopenshift-client-python","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenshift%2Fopenshift-client-python/lists"}
