yuma123/yangcli repository overview

Docker image source: https://github.com/userzimmermann/yuma123-docker-images/blob/master/yangcli/Dockerfile⁠

Entrypoint script: https://github.com/userzimmermann/yuma123-docker-images/blob/master/yangcli/yangcli-entrypoint.bash⁠

Base image: debian:stretch-slim⁠

⁠About yangcli

yangcli is an interactive NETCONF⁠ command line client and part of the Yuma123⁠ OpenSource project

⁠Running

All you need to do for pulling the image, creating a container, and starting an interactive yangcli session is:

docker run -ti yuma123/yangcli

Further usage instructions for yangcli itself will be printed before the first yangcli> prompt

The yangcli-entrypoint.bash of this docker image passes all further arguments directly to yangcli, like:

docker run -ti yuma123/yangcli --help

⁠Configuration

The yangcli> prompt is based on GNU Readline⁠. You can easily add your custom readline init⁠ configuration to the container by putting it into a READLINE_INIT environment variable. The content of that variable will be written to ~/.inputrc before starting yangcli. E.g. for enabling vi mode⁠:

docker run -ti -e READLINE_INIT="set editing-mode vi" yuma123/yangcli

For defining a more complex readline init configuration, you can also run this docker image as a docker-compose⁠ service. In a docker-compose.yml file, a yangcli service could look like:

services:
  yangcli:
    image: yuma123/yangcli
    environment:
      READLINE_INIT: |
        set editing-mode vi
        set show-mode-in-prompt on

Then you can simply start an interactive yangcli session with:

docker-compose run yangcli
