Rancher CLI
===========

The Rancher Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool for interacting with your Rancher Server.

For usage information see: https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/cli/

> **Note:** This is for version 2.x.x of the cli, for info on 1.6.x see [here](https://github.com/rancher/cli/tree/v1.6)

## Installing

Check the [releases page](https://github.com/rancher/cli/releases) for direct downloads of the binary. After you download it, you can add it to your `$PATH` or [build your own from source](#building-from-source).

## Setting up Rancher CLI with a Rancher Server

The CLI requires your Rancher Server address, along with [credentials for authentication](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/user-settings/api-keys/). Rancher CLI pulls this information from a JSON file, `cli2.json`, which is created the first time you run `rancher login`. By default, the path of this file is `~/.rancher/cli2.json`.

```
$ rancher login https:// -t my-secret-token
```

> **Note:** When entering your ``, include the port that was exposed while you installed Rancher Server.

## Usage

Run `rancher --help` for a list of available commands.

## Building from Source

The binaries will be located in `/bin`.

### Linux Binary

Run `make build`.

### Mac Binary

Run `CROSS=1 make build`.

## Docker Image

Run `docker run --rm -it -v :/root/.rancher/cli2.json rancher/cli2 [ARGS]`.
Pass credentials by replacing `` with your config file for the server.

To build `rancher/cli`, run `make`. To use a custom Docker repository, do `REPO=custom make`, which produces a `custom/cli` image.
