# Knife podnix [](https://travis-ci.org/podnix/knife-podnix) [](https://coveralls.io/r/podnix/knife-podnix)
* https://github.com/indykish/knife-podnix
## DESCRIPTION:
This is a knife plugin to create, bootstrap and manage servers on the podnix IaaS.
## INSTALLATION:
gem install knife-podnix
If building the nokogiri C extension fails have a look at this wiki page: [Nokogiri-installation](https://github.com/podnix/knife-podnix/wiki/Nokogiri-installation)
## CONFIGURATION:
You need to provide your podnix API_KEY, either via options(`--podnix_api_key 'PODNIX_API_KEY'`) or add them to your knife.rb
knife[:podnix_api_key] = "PODNIX_API_KEY"
or store them in environment variables
export PODNIX_API_KEY=YOURAPIKEY
## SUBCOMMANDS:
This plugin provides the following Knife subcommands. Specific command options can be found by invoking the subcommand with a ``--help`` flag.
### knife podnix server create
Provisions a new server and then perform a Chef bootstrap (using the SSH protocol). The goal of the bootstrap is to get Chef installed
on the target system so it can run Chef Client with a Chef Server.
During provisioning your password will be uploaded to the newly created server, thus you can ssh your server with that password.
The following knife-podnix options are required:
-N, --name SERVER_NAME name for the newly created Server.
-f, --flavor Specify the model of your server. This will define the amount of vCores
and RAM that your server will get. MODEL IN PODNIX(by vcore size) `1, 2, 4, 8`.
RAM is double the size of VCORE.
-P, --password PASSWORD Specifies the root password (on Linux) or administrator password (on Windows).
Must contain at least 9 chars and include a lower case char, an upper case char and a number.
eg:-`Secret123`.
-I, --image IMAGE_ID Specify the image to base your server on. This will define operating system
and pre-installed software. Fot more `knife podnix image list`. eg:- `37`for Ubuntu 13.04 (64bit).
The following are optional options provided by knife:
--storage SIZE Specify the size (in GB) of the system drive. Valid size is 10-250. Default is 10.
--ssd 1 If this parameter is set to 1, the system drive will be located on a SSD drive.
--[no-]bootstrap Bootstrap the server with knife bootstrap
-N, --node-name NAME The Chef node name for your new node default is the name of the server.
-s, --server-url URL Chef Server URL
--key KEY API Client Key
--[no-]color Use colored output, defaults to enabled
-c, --config CONFIG The configuration file to use
--defaults Accept default values for all questions
--disable-editing Do not open EDITOR, just accept the data as is
-d, --distro DISTRO Bootstrap a distro using a template; default is 'ubuntu12.04-gems'
-e, --editor EDITOR Set the editor to use for interactive commands
-E, --environment ENVIRONMENT Set the Chef environment
-F, --format FORMAT Which format to use for output
--identity-file IDENTITY_FILE

--print-after Show the data after a destructive operation
-r, --run-list RUN_LIST Comma separated list of roles/recipes to apply

-v, --version Show chef version
-y, --yes Say yes to all prompts for confirmation
-h, --help Show this message
