Python bindings to the OpenStack Volume API
===========================================
This is a client for the OpenStack Volume API. There's a Python API (the
``cinderclient`` module), and a command-line script (``cinder``). Each
implements 100% of the OpenStack Volume API.
[PENDING] `Full documentation is available`__.
__ http://packages.python.org/python-cinderclient/
You'll also probably want to read `OpenStack Compute Developer Guide API`__ --
the first bit, at least -- to get an idea of the concepts. Rackspace is doing
the cloud hosting thing a bit differently from Amazon, and if you get the
concepts this library should make more sense.
__ http://docs.openstack.org/api/
The project is hosted on `Launchpad`_, where bugs can be filed. The code is
hosted on `Github`_. Patches must be submitted using `Gerrit`_, *not* Github
pull requests.
.. _Github: https://github.com/openstack/python-cinderclient
.. _Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/python-cinderclient
.. _Gerrit: http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow
This code a fork of `Jacobian's python-cloudservers`__ If you need API support
for the Rackspace API solely or the BSD license, you should use that repository.
python-client is licensed under the Apache License like the rest of OpenStack.

Command-line API
----------------
Installing this package gets you a shell command, ``cinder``, that you
can use to interact with any Rackspace compatible API (including OpenStack).
You'll need to provide your OpenStack username and password. You can do this
with the ``--os_username``, ``--os_password`` and ``--os_tenant_name``
params, but it's easier to just set them as environment variables::
export OS_USERNAME=openstack
export OS_PASSWORD=yadayada
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
You will also need to define the authentication url with ``--os_auth_url``
and the version of the API with ``--version``. Or set them as an environment
variables as well::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:8774/v1.1/
export OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION=1.1
If you are using Keystone, you need to set the CINDER_URL to the keystone
endpoint::
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://example.com:5000/v2.0/
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you
can specify the one you want with ``--os_region_name`` (or
``export OS_REGION_NAME``). It defaults to the first in the list returned.
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running
``cinder help``::
usage: cinder [--debug] [--os_username OS_USERNAME] [--os_password OS_PASSWORD]
[--os_tenant_name OS_TENANT_NAME] [--os_auth_url OS_AUTH_URL]
[--os_region_name OS_REGION_NAME] [--service_type SERVICE_TYPE]
[--service_name SERVICE_NAME] [--endpoint_type ENDPOINT_TYPE]
[--version VERSION] [--username USERNAME]
[--region_name REGION_NAME] [--apikey APIKEY]
[--projectid PROJECTID] [--url URL]
<subcommand> ...

<subcommand>
create Add a new volume.
credentials Show user credentials returned from auth
delete Remove a volume.
endpoints Discover endpoints that get returned from the
authenticate services
list List all the volumes.
show Show details about a volume.

snapshot-list List all the snapshots.
snapshot-show Show details about a snapshot.
type-create Create a new volume type.
type-delete Delete a specific flavor
type-list Print a list of available 'volume types'.
bash-completion Prints all of the commands and options to stdout so
that the
help Display help about this program or one of its
subcommands.
Optional arguments:
--debug Print debugging output
--os_username OS_USERNAME
Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME].

Defaults to env[OS_PASSWORD].
--os_tenant_name OS_TENANT_NAME
Defaults to env[OS_TENANT_NAME].
--os_auth_url OS_AUTH_URL

--os_compute_api_version VERSION
Accepts 1.1, defaults to env[OS_COMPUTE_API_VERSION].
--username USERNAME Deprecated
--region_name REGION_NAME

See "cinder help COMMAND" for help on a specific command.
Python API
----------
[PENDING] There's also a `complete Python API`__.
__ http://packages.python.org/python-cinderclient/
Quick-start using keystone::
# use v2.0 auth with http://example.com:5000/v2.0/")
>>> from cinderclient.v1 import client
>>> nt = client.Client(USER, PASS, TENANT, AUTH_URL, service_type="compute")
>>> nt.flavors.list()
[...]
>>> nt.servers.list()
[...]
>>> nt.keypairs.list()
[...]
What's new?
-----------
[PENDING] See `the release notes <http://packages.python.org/python-cinderclient/releases.html>`_.
