hrobot-cli: Command-line interface for Hetzner Robot Webservice

hrobot-cli is a command-line interface for interacting with the Hetzner Robot API.

Set environment variables for robot webservice credentials

hrobot-cli use environment variables for authenticating with the Hetzner Robot. It is recommended to use an env file similar to sample.env which can be used in the local environment as well as with the docker container. The expected variables are

• HROBOTCLI_USER
• HROBOTCLI_PASSWORD

Build manually and run on local machine

If you have Go installed, you can build hrobot-cli with:

go build

and run it with:

export $(cat sample.env | xargs) # or set the expected environemnt variables in any other way
./hrobot-cli

Build and run in docker

The project contains a Dockerfile which will build a container with the binary by running:

docker build --rm -f "Dockerfile" -t hrobot-cli:latest .

Afterwards you can run it with:

docker run -it --env-file=sample.env hrobot-cli:latest

Run latest version in docker using pre-built docker image

Run latest version from docker registry:

docker run -it --env-file=sample.env registry.github.com/nl2go/hrobot-cli:v0-1-1

Update hrobot-go mocks

This project uses gomock. When the hrobot-go library is upgraded to a new version, the mocks used for the tests need to be updated. This can be done by running the following command:

mockgen -package mock github.com/nl2go/hrobot-go RobotClient > test/mock/mock_robot_client.go
