Hippo Client

hippo is an experimental client for the Hippo PaaS.

The hippo tool interacts directly with the Hippo API. Its primary purpose is to interact with the various endpoints provided by the hippo-openapi project.

Users seeking to build, deploy, and run applications should look at spin.

Using the Hippo Client

Logging in

$ hippo login
Enter username: bacongobbler
Enter password: [hidden]
Logged in as bacongobbler

Authentication is handled through hippo login, which logs into Hippo. With hippo login, the Hippo URL is specified in the --url flag. Hippo requires authentication: if --username or --password are not provided, the CLI will prompt for that information.

Logging out can be performed with hippo logout, which logs out of Hippo.

$ hippo logout
Logged out

If you want to skip server TLS verification, pass the -k flag to hippo login. This can be useful if you are running development services with self-signed certificates.

Note: the -k and --danger-accept-invalid-certs flags are a security risk. Do not use them in production.

Creating an Application

$ hippo app add helloworld helloworld
Added App helloworld (ID = 'e4a30d14-4536-4f4a-81d5-80e961e7710c')
IMPORTANT: save this App ID for later - you will need it to update and/or delete the App

Creating a Channel

$ hippo channel add latest e4a30d14-4536-4f4a-81d5-80e961e7710c
Added Channel latest (ID = '685ff7d8-7eef-456f-ad5a-4c5c39975588')
IMPORTANT: save this Channel ID for later - you will need it to update and/or delete the Channel

If not specified, Hippo to deploys the latest revision. This can be changed by either providing a different --range-rule, or by specifying a --revision-id.

By default, Hippo will bind the channel to a domain with the address <channel_name>.<app_name>.<platform_domain>. In this case, latest.helloworld.hippofactory.local. If you want to change this domain, use the --domain flag.

Creating a Revision

If you pushed a bindle to bindle-server called helloworld/1.0.0:

$ hippo revision add helloworld 1.0.0
Added Revision 1.0.0

If any applications use that storage ID, all its channels will be re-evaluated to determine if they need to be re-schedule the new revision to the job scheduler.

Adding an Environment Variable

$ hippo env add HELLO world 685ff7d8-7eef-456f-ad5a-4c5c39975588
Added Environment Variable HELLO (ID = 'c97f9855-d998-4dac-889b-11b553f53bea')
IMPORTANT: save this Environment Variable ID for later - you will need it to update and/or delete the Environment Variable
