⁠Usage

To use the OpenStack CLI you need to configure your environment settings first. This can be done either with environment variables in docker or by setting flags on individual OpenStack CLI commands.

More info on using the flags or environment variables can be found on the official repo:

https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/authentication.html⁠

docker run \
  -e OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity> \
  -e OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 \
  -e OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name> \
  -e OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=<project-domain-name> \
  -e OS_USERNAME=<username> \
  -e OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=<user-domain-name> \
  -e OS_PASSWORD=<password> \
