Description

This container comes with an installation of OpenStack's Swift and Keystone CLI clients.

If you're not familiarized with the Swift client, checkout the following links:

• What is OpenStack Swift?⁠.
• OpenStack Swift's Documentation⁠
• Swift CLI Client⁠

Usage

In order to authenticate against your service provider, you must pass your Swift credentias via environment variables. If you don't quite get it, please refer to the following links:

• Swift Authentication via Environment Variables⁠
• Passing Environment Variables via docker run⁠

Uppon running this image, it will automatically execute the swift command, followed by any arguments you provide.

Examples

• Authentication

  Assume we're going to authenticate using Keystone v3 to a generic Object Storage service provider. As Swift's documentation states for Authentication⁠, we will need to pass the following variables (filled with credentials) to our docker image:

  Variables	Value
  ST_AUTH_VERSION	3
  OS_USER_ID	abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
  OS_PASSWORD	password
  OS_PROJECT_ID	0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
  OS_AUTH_URL	https://api.example.com:5000/v3⁠

  In order to tell docker to include those variables during runtime, we need to execute the following:

  docker run -e ST_AUTH_VERSION -e OS_USER_ID -e OS_PASSWORD -e OS_PROJECT_ID -e OS_AUTH_URL openstack-swift-container --version
  

  Copy

  If the image is unable to authenticate against your service provider, it will show an error message and exit from execution.

• Skip Authentication Pre-Check

  By default, this image does a pre-check of authentication against your service provider before running your specified Swift command. You can disable this behaviour by passing the INPUT_AUTH_CHECK environment variable with a string value of 'false':

  INPUT_AUTH_CHECK='false'
  docker run -e ST_AUTH_VERSION -e OS_USER_ID -e OS_PASSWORD -e OS_PROJECT_ID -e OS_AUTH_URL -e INPUT_AUTH_CHECK openstack-swift-container --version
  

  Copy

• Swift Commands

  To execute Swift Commands⁠ with this image, we need to call them via args in the docker run command.

  Let's say we want to list our available containers. We must run:

  docker run <--env ...> openstack-swift-container list
  

  Copy

  If we would like to upload Log.1 and Log.2 files to our logs container, we could run:

  docker run <--env ...> openstack-swift-container upload logs Log.1 Log.2
