dlcs-cli

Command line interface for DLCS.

This is an experimental work in progress and will be updated.

You can do this kind of thing:

Getting Started

You need to specify a settings.py file containing default values in the root of the repository. Sample file shown below:

DLCS_ENTRY = 'https://api.dlcs' # the route of the API to call (e.g. https://api.dlcs.io)
DLCS_API_KEY = 'api-key' # username for basic auth
DLCS_SECRET = 'my-super-secret' # password for basic auth
DLCS_CUSTOMER_ID = 1 # customer to do operations on
DLCS_SPACE = 1 # space to do operations on
DLCS_ORIGIN = 'storage-origin' # bucket used to upload to (optional)

Commands

To make the CLI easier to manage commands are grouped, this allows commands to be in the format: python dlcs.py <group> <command> <args>

Commands are listed below, unless otherwise stated, full output from DLCS is printed to stdout.

Create customer

Create a new customer.

Needs Admin credentials

python dlcs.py customer create --name foo --display_name "Foo Bar"

Create API key

Create a new API key for customer. CustomerId taken from settings.py.

python dlcs.py customer create_api_key

Create space

Create new space for customer. CustomerId taken from settings.py

python dlcs.py customer create_space --name my-space

Ingest single image from remote origin

Ingest a single image that is currently in a remote origin (currently supports http* origins only)

python dlcs.py ingest image --id image-from-cli --location https://images.io/my-image --s3 from-cli

Ingest images from folder

Ingest a local folder full of images. settings.DLCS_ORIGIN property must be populated, with the name of an S3 bucket. All images will be uploaded to this bucket, then a batch will be created to ingest images from that location.

The ideal bucket to use is the DLCS 'origin bucket'. This is the bucket that the Portal will upload images to when uploaded via the UI. This is automatically configured as a 'optimised origin' so avoids the DLCS needing to make a copy.

Image Id is set to current filename. Images are uploaded in order.

Optional/Default args:

• increment_number_field (default of n1) - which specifies the metadata field to use to increment with image order.
• profile (default of default) - specifies which AWS profile to use for uploading images to bucket.
• Metadata fields: (n1, n2, n3, s1, s2, s3). Optional fields for specifying metadata. If a value is specified for the same field as increment_number_field, then increment_number_field wins.

Current limitations - assumes eu-west-1 region. Assumes use of AWS profile for uploading.

python dlcs.py ingest folder --directory /path/to/imgs/ --n2 99 --s1 string-value

Debug Settings

View current values in settings.py (API secret key masked)

python dlcs.py debug settings

TODO/Limitations

• Allow space/customer etc to be overriden in a per-command basis.
• Bulk uploads to non-S3 location
• Handle different AWS regions
• Handle different methods of AWS auth
