what is this ?

a command line tool to manage SmartOS hosts.

Prerequisites

• you have an ssh key
• your ssh public key is in authorized_keys on the server to allow passwordless login

Usage

first you need to create a config file to define your environment:

# show custom properties in the list
[user_columns]
  some_property = "customer_metadata.some_property"

[global]
  # gateway_user = "root"
  gateway = "x.x.x.x"

[vmhost1]
  # user = "root"
  # gateway = "a.b.c.d"
  # gateway_user = "root"
  address = "y.y.y.y"

[vmhost2]
  # user = "root"
  # gateway = "a.b.c.d"
  # gateway_user = "root"
  address = "z.z.z.z"

All options except address (which makes no sense) can be defined in a global section, if present in a host section the later will be used, otherwise the global one is used.

Save te config file as "smartos_hosts.toml" and run the followings commands in the same folder.

Once you have your file you can use the smanager command:

$ smanager list
