defmodule Doex do @moduledoc """ An elixir implementation of the [DigitalOcean API v2](https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/). From their documentation: The DigitalOcean API allows you to manage Droplets and resources within the DigitalOcean cloud in a simple, programmatic way using conventional HTTP requests. The endpoints are intuitive and powerful, allowing you to easily make calls to retrieve information or to execute actions. All of the functionality that you are familiar with in the DigitalOcean control panel is also available through the API, allowing you to script the complex actions that your situation requires. The API documentation will start with a general overview about the design and technology that has been implemented, followed by reference information about specific endpoints. This Elixir DigitalOcean (DO) API gives you access to the API through three means: * A command line escript tool called `doex` * A set of mix tasks `mix doex.*`, or * Directly from Elixir code using `Doex` module Each one of the mechanism above allow you to automate your infrastructure needs, it more comes down to preference and environment. The library name is somewhat of an acryonym for Digital Ocean (do) and Elixir (ex). It is pronounced "Doakes" after the excellent character in Dexter, no other symbolism to the character, just liked it and it followed with the Elixir convention of putting 'ex' somewhere in the library name. ## Installation ### Command Line (Latest Version) To install the `doex` command line tool (whose only dependency is Erlang), then you can [install it using escript](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/master/Mix.Tasks.Escript.Install.html). ```bash # Install from GitHub mix escript.install github aforward/doex # Install form HEX.pm mix escript.install hex doex ``` If you see a warning like ```bash warning: you must append "~/.mix/escripts" to your PATH if you want to invoke escripts by name ``` Then, make sure to update your PATH variable. Here's how on a Mac OS X, but each [environment is slightly different](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26047/how-to-correctly-add-a-path-to-path). ```bash vi ~/.bash_profile # Add a line like the following PATH="$HOME/.mix/escripts:$PATH" export PATH ``` Start a new terminal session. You will know it's working when you can *find* it using *where* ``` where doex ``` ### Command Line (Other Versions) To install a specific version, branch, tag or commit, adjust any one of the following ```bash # Install from a specific version mix escript.install hex doex 0.11.0 # Install from the latest of a specific branch mix escript.install github aforward/doex branch git_branch # Install from a specific tag mix escript.install github aforward/doex tag git_tag # Install from a specific commit mix escript.install github aforward/doex ref git_ref ``` Again, checkout [mix escript.install](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Escript.Install.html) for more information about installing global tasks. ### Mix Tasks If you have an Elixir project that you want to interact with the DigitalOcean API, then you install the app by adding a dependency to your `mix.exs` file. ```elixir @deps [ {:doex, "~> 0.6.1"} ] ``` This will give you access to `mix doex.*` tasks (instead of globally installing the `doex` escript). You will also have programtic access from your `Doex` module as well; so you could expose feature directly within your application as well. ## Configure DO Token Before you can use the DO API, you will need to configure access to your DigitalOcean account. For this, you will need your [API TOKEN](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-digitalocean-api-v2#how-to-generate-a-personal-access-token) Let's say your token is ABC123, then configure it as follows: # using escript doex init doex config token ABC123 # using mix tasks mix doex.init mix doex.config token ABC123 And to confirm it's set, run doex config And the output should look similar to: ssh_keys: [] token: "ABC123" url: "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2" Notice the empty `ssh_keys`. Please look at [DO documentation on SSH Keys](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-ssh-keys-with-digitalocean-droplets) and configure them right away. With the SSH Keys set, you will have secure and passwordless access to your new droplet, enabling more convient scripting. To retrieve your SSH Key IDs, run the following command # using escript doex get /account/keys # using mix tasks mix doex.get /account/keys The output will be similar to the following, and it's the IDs you want. {:ok, %{"links" => %{}, "meta" => %{"total" => 2}, "ssh_keys" => [%{"fingerprint" => "18:19:20:21:22:23:24:25:26:27:28:29:30:31:32:33", "id" => 555213, "name" => "mbp", "public_key" => "ssh-dss ABC123"}, %{"fingerprint" => "19:20:21:22:23:24:25:26:27:28:29:30:31:32:33:34", "id" => 555214, "name" => "andrew13mbp", "public_key" => "ssh-rsa DEF456"}]}} From the example above (please adjust for your output), the IDs are `555213`, and `555214`. These can be set by running mix doex.config ssh_keys 555213 555214 Now, every droplet you create will, by default (and can be overwritten), be accessible by all computers that have those public/private keys. ## Available Commands / Tasks To get help on the available commands, run # using escript doex # using mix tasks mix doex The output will look similar to the following doex v0.6.1 doex is a API client for Digital Ocean's API v2. Available tasks: doex block # Block the command line until a condition is met doex config # Reads, updates or deletes Doex config doex delete # Execute a Digital Ocean API DELETE request doex droplets.create # Create a droplet on Digital Ocean doex droplets.id # Locate a droplet ID, by name or tag (--tag) doex droplets.tag # Tag a droplet. doex get # Execute a Digital Ocean API GET request doex id # Locate a ID of a resource, by name or tag (--tag) doex imagelets.create # Create a DitigalOcean snapshot based on available templates doex init # Initialize your doex config doex ip # Get the IP of a droplet doex ls # List your resources. doex post # Execute a Digital Ocean API POST request doex put # Execute a Digital Ocean API PUT request doex scp # Secure copy a file from to your droplet's doex snapshots.create # Creates a snapshot of an existing Digital Ocean droplet doex ssh # Execute a command on your droplet doex ssh.hostkey # Add the droplet hostkey to the executing server Further information can be found here: -- https://hex.pm/packages/doex -- https://github.com/aforward/doex Please note that the mix tasks and doex scripts provide identical functionality, they are just structured slightly differently. In general, * `mix doex. ` for mix tasks * `doex ` for escript Make sure that have installed doex correctly for mix tasks (if you want to use mix tasks), or escript (if you want to use escript). ## Elixir API These features are also available from within Elixir through `Doex` modules, this gives you better programatic access to return data (presented as a map), but in most cases probably is not required to automate your infrastructure. If we start an iEX session in your project that includes the doex dependency, you can access the same information in Elixir. iex> Doex.config %{ssh_keys: [], token: "ABC123", url: "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2"} The underlying API calls are made through iex> h Doex.Api The `source` is the DO API endpoint *after* the `url` provided above, so to access your account information, you would run iex> Doex.Api.get("/account") OR, you can go through the more generic `call`, providing the arguments in a map. iex> Doex.Api.call(:get, %{source: "/account"}) If your configurations are messed up (or other errors occur), it will look similar to {:error, "Expected a 200, received 401", %{"id" => "unauthorized", "message" => "Unable to authenticate you."}} If things are working as expected, a success message looks like {:ok, %{"account" => %{"droplet_limit" => 99, "email" => "me@example.com", "email_verified" => true, "floating_ip_limit" => 5, "status" => "active", "status_message" => "", "uuid" => "abcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefghabcdefgh"}}} To send a POST command, for example creating a new droplet, you can run iex> Doex.Api.post( "/droplets", %{name: "dplet001", region: "tor1", size: "s-1vcpu-1gb", image: "ubuntu-18-04-x64", ssh_keys: [12345], backups: false, ipv6: true, user_data: nil, private_networking: nil, volumes: nil, tags: ["dplet001"]}) OR, you can go through the more generic `call` iex> Doex.Api.call( :post, %{source: "/droplets", body: %{name: "dplet001", region: "tor1", size: "s-1vcpu-1gb", image: "ubuntu-18-04-x64", ssh_keys: [12345], backups: false, ipv6: true, user_data: nil, private_networking: nil, volumes: nil, tags: ["dplet001"]}}) The underlying configs are stored in `Doex.Worker` ([OTP GenServer](https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/genserver.html)). If you change your configurations and need them reloaded, then call and can be reloaded using iex> Doex.reload At present, there are no client specific convenience methods, but when there are they will be located in iex> Doex.Client """ def version(), do: unquote(Mix.Project.config()[:version]) def elixir_version(), do: unquote(System.version()) def start(), do: {:ok, _started} = Application.ensure_all_started(:doex) @doc """ Retrieve the DOEX configs.
