#gorackhd

Go bindings for RackHD

Description

gorackhd represents API bindings for Go that allow you to manage RackHD. The intended functions are a direct implementation of what's available within the RackHD Monorail API. To manage machines with IPMI, also use gorackhd-redfish that talks to the RackHD Redfish API.

Compatibility

gorackhd is created using go-swagger client generator.

Installation of the client

To install the client:

$ go get github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd

Generation of the client

The client relies on a swagger spec file that is taken from RackHD's on-http library and packaged at /swagger-spec/monorail.yml. As the swagger spec changes, this client will update as needed.

The client is found within the /client folder which is generated by go-swagger. To generate the client:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd
$ make

The Makefile utilizes glide to reference go-swagger 0.6.0 of go-swagger. The Makefile will generate a go-swagger directory in /vendor/github.com/ and then create the client.

Environment Variables

Name Description
GORACKHD_ENDPOINT the API endpoint. localhost:9090 is used by default if not set

Using the client

This sample script will retrieve (GET) all nodes. Take a look at gorackhd_test.go for more

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "os"

    rc "github.com/go-openapi/runtime/client"
    "github.com/go-openapi/strfmt"

    apiclient "github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd/client"
    "github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd/client/nodes"
)

func main() {

    // create the transport
    transport := rc.New("localhost:9090", "/api/1.1", []string{"http"})

    // If not using the Vagrant image, set this environment variable to something other than localhost:9090
    if os.Getenv("GORACKHD_ENDPOINT") != "" {
        transport.Host = os.Getenv("GORACKHD_ENDPOINT")
    }

    // create the API client, with the transport
    client := apiclient.New(transport, strfmt.Default)

    //use any function to do REST operations
    resp, err := client.Nodes.GetNodes(nil, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", resp.Payload)

}

Use the client to create (POST) a new item

Import the library for what you are trying to post:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd/client/nodes"
    ...
)

Create the JSON struct

type ObmConfig struct {
    Host     string `json:"host"`
    User     string `json:"user"`
    Password string `json:"password"`
}

type ObmSettings struct {
    Service string     `json:"service"`
    Config  *ObmConfig `json:"config"`
}

type Node struct {
    ID          string         `json:"id"`
    Name        string         `json:"name"`
    Type        string         `json:"type"`
    ObmSettings []*ObmSettings `json:"obmSettings"`
}
    c := &Node{
        ID:   "1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd",
        Name: "somename",
        Type: "compute",
        ObmSettings: []*ObmSettings{&ObmSettings{
            Service: "ipmi-obm-service",
            Config: &ObmConfig{
                Host:     "1.2.3.4",
                User:     "myuser",
                Password: "mypass",
            },
        }},
    }

    params := nodes.NewPostNodesParams()
    params = params.WithIdentifiers(c)
    resp, err := client.Nodes.PostNodes(params, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", resp.Payload)

Use the client to fetch (GET) individual items

Import the library for what you are trying to retrieve:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd/client/nodes"
    ...
)

Lookup the params that are required in a struct:

    params := nodes.NewGetSkusIdentifierParams()
    params = params.WithIdentifier("1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd")
    resp, err := client.Skus.GetSkusIdentifier(params, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", resp.Payload)

Use the client to remove (DELETE) individual items

Import the library for what you are trying to retrieve:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/codedellemc/gorackhd/client/nodes"
    ...
)

Lookup the params that are required in a struct:

    params := NewDeleteNodesIdentifierParams()
    params = params.WithIdentifier("1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd")
    resp, err := client.Nodes.DeleteNodesIdentifier(params, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", resp)

Contribution

Create a fork of the project into your own repository.

Run the tests provided in gorackhd_test.go to verify GET/POST/DELETE still function:

env DEBUG=1 go test -run TestNodePostOperation -v
env DEBUG=1 go test -run TestNodeGetOperation -v
env DEBUG=1 go test -run TestNodeDeleteOperation -v

If tests do not pass, please create an issue so it can be addressed or fix and create a PR.

If all tests pass, make changes and create a pull request with a description on what was added or removed and details explaining the changes in lines of code. If approved, project owners will merge it.
