CLOUDSTACK(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to cloudstack — the command-line client for Apache CloudStack. that's the whole vibe, that's the moment, that's what we're doing here 💅 (and yeah, it's the CLOUDSTACK(1) page, General Commands Manual energy, we been knew ✨)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cloudstack [--async] command [option=value ...]

that's it. that's the whole spell. go off 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, cloudstack is a command-line client for Apache CloudStack, periodt. the command you pass in should be the name of an API command — that's the assignment, that's the whole task, no cap. and then cloudstack hands you back the result as JSON-formatted output, which is honestly iconic, we love a machine-readable slay 🌈

🎀 where the config lives (read it, it matters) 🎀

Configuration gets read from several locations, and the order is very much a thing — it goes like this:

1. the CLOUDSTACK_ENDPOINT, CLOUDSTACK_KEY and CLOUDSTACK_SECRET environment variables 🌱
2. a CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG environment variable pointing to an .ini file 📂
3. a cloudstack.ini file in the current working directory 📍
4. a .cloudstack.ini file in the home directory 🏠

fr fr, that order is the order — first one wins, so don't come crying to me when your env vars are lowkey overriding your ini file 💀

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

want more lore? more deep-dive, more main character documentation? bestie, go look at the documentation of the CloudStack API at:

that's the plug, iykyk 🔥

and that's the page!! this beauty is from Debian, dated August 18, 2013, and it's the CLOUDSTACK(1) manual — so go forth, run your API commands, read your configs in the right order, and slay 💖✨🎀🦋🌸👑
