Use the InAccel command line

Welcome to InAccel CLI-

InAccel CLI is a compact and smart client that provides a simple interface that automates access to InAccel products simplifying your automation scripts and making them more readable and easier to maintain. InAccel CLI works with InAccel Coral container as well as any InAccel Bitstream repository (including InAccel Store) making your scripts more efficient and reliable in several ways.

The CLI is divided in two main categories:

• bitstream commands...
  ...to efficiently manage your Bitstream repositories.

• coral commands...
  ...to efficiently manage your Coral container.

inaccel-

To list available commands, either run inaccel with no parameters or execute:

System Requirements-

InAccel CLI runs on any modern OS that fully supports the Go programming language.

All coral sub-commands operate on InAccel Coral container image, using InAccel Container Runtime (inaccel-runc). The only prerequisite for running commands in this category is a Docker version that supports custom container runtimes (--runtime flag).

Notice-

Depending on your Docker system configuration, you may be required to preface each inaccel coral command with sudo. To avoid having to use sudo with the inaccel coral command, your system administrator can create a Unix group called docker and add users to it.

For more information about installing Docker or sudo configuration, refer to the Docker installation instructions for your operating system.

Environment Variables-

InAccel CLI makes use of the following environment variables:

Settings file-

By default, the InAccel command line stores its configuration settings file in a directory called .inaccel within your $HOME directory. However, you can specify a different location via the INACCEL_CONFIG_DIR environment variable. For example:

INACCEL_CONFIG_DIR="~/testconfigs" inaccel coral start -t latest

Instructs InAccel to use the settings file in your ~/testconfigs directory when running the inaccel coral start command.

You can modify the settings.json or settings.xml file to configure bitstream repositories and coral container settings or you can simply use the inaccel config command.

The settings file stores a JSON or an XML encoding of several properties:

license: Sets the InAccel Coral license

repositories: Defines the details of remote repositories

Following is a sample settings file:

{
    "license": "",
    "repositories": [
        {
            "id": "inaccel-store",
            "user": "inaccel",
            "password": "",
            "url": "https://store.inaccel.com/artifactory/bitstreams"
        }
    ]
}
