OpenStack Client Command-Line Interface (CLI)¶

Synopsis¶

openstack [options] baremetalcompute <command> [command-options]

Description¶

To use openstack CLI, the OpenStackClient should be installed:

To use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password, project, and auth endpoint. You can use configuration options --os-username, --os-password, --os-project-id (or --os-project-name), and --os-auth-url, or set the corresponding environment variables:

$ export OS_USERNAME=user
$ export OS_PASSWORD=password
$ export OS_PROJECT_NAME=project                         # or OS_PROJECT_ID
$ export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_ID=default
$ export OS_USER_DOMAIN_ID=default
$ export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
$ export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/identity

This CLI is provided by python-openstackclient and osc-lib projects:
