PyPI version Upload Python Package

pluploader

A advanced command-line plugin uploader/installer/manager for atlassian server and cloud instances (Confluence/Jira) written in python(3).

Installation

pipx (recommended)

pipx install pluploader

pip

pip3 install pluploader

brew (MacOS)

brew tap craftamap/tap && brew install pluploader

Docker

If you do not want to install python3 or pip, you can also pull the latest docker image from dockerhub or github:

docker pull craftamap/pluploader:latest
# OR
docker pull ghcr.io/craftamap/pluploader/pluploader:v0.8.3

pluploader can then be run by executing

docker run -v "$(pwd)":/workdir -it craftamap/pluploader:v0.8.3

Usage

For a in-depth explanation, see pluploader --help

ℹ This documentation describes the master branch, and not (necessarily) the latest release.

Global Options

You can specify various global options:

  • --base-url <base-url>, default: http://localhost:8090
    For Confluence Cloud Instances, make sure to append the path, /wiki, to your base url.
  • --user <username>, default: admin
  • --password <password>, default: admin
    It is recommended to use Access Tokens instead of your password. Newer versions of the server / datacenter products support creating Access Tokens called Personal Access Tokens - Read more about them here.
    For cloud instances, it is required to use Access Tokens. Those are called API Tokens and can be created here. If you do not want to put your password or access token in the command line plaintext, you can also use...
  • --ask-for-password

All Global Options can be overwritten by using a configuration file or enviroment variables. See more in Configuration and Environment variables

Configuration

If you don't want to write the username or password (or any other global parameter) each time, you can use a filed called .pluprc, either placed in your current maven project or/and in your home directory. A example looks like this:

base_url: https://example.com:8090
user: admin
password: admin

Environment variables

You can also specify username, password and base url by using PLUP_USER, PLUP_PASSWORD and PLUP_BASEURL.

Uploading plugins

If you are in a maven project, the basic usage is fairly simple. Just type:

pluploader --user admin --password admin

The pluploader then uploads and enables the current artifact specified in the pom.xml

If you are not in a maven directory currently, but you want to upload a specific file, you can also use the -f plugin.jar flag.

If you want to confirm your upload, you can also use the -i / --interactive flag.

It is recommended to use the pluploader with maven. The usage looks like:

atlas-mvn clean package && pluploader

Installing apps from the marketplace

Uploading  gifs

pluploader supports downloading apps from the atlassian marketplace to your local machine and installing them afterwards. You need to supply either --mpac-key, which is the normal addon-key, or --mpac-id (experimental), which is the numeric id of an marketplace id (72307 https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/72307)

pluploader --mpac-key com.atlassian.confluence.extra.team-calendars

NOTE: If you specify one of the global options, you need to add the install-command:

pluploader --base-url https://your-confluence.com:8090 install

You can work around this by using the configuration file or by using environment variables.

Installing a connect descriptor to a cloud instance.

Uploading to cloud

pluploader also supports installing atlassian-connect plugins to cloud instances by enabling cloud support with --cloud and providing the descriptor url with --plugin-uri.

pluploader install --cloud --plugin-uri https://your.ngrok.here

Managing plugins

Managing plugins

pluploader can also replace the usage of the universal plugin manager completely by using the subcommands list, info, enable, disable, and uninstall (enable and disable are not supported in the atlassian cloud).

To get a list of all installed plugins of the configured instance, just type:

pluploader list

A green checkmark indicates that the plugin is enabled, while a exclamation mark indicates that the plugin is disabled.

In order to retrieve more information about a specific plugin, you can use the command info.

pluploader info com.example.plugin.key

The plugin key can be omitted in a maven directory, if the parameter atlassian.plugin.key is set in plaintext.

The commands enable, disable or uninstall follow the same syntax.

Safe Mode

pluploader also supports disabling or enabling all apps using Safe Mode (does not work in cloud).

To retrieve the status if safe-mode is enabled at the moment, use

pluploader safe-mode status

You can enable and disable safe mode by using

pluploader safe-mode enable

And

pluploader safe-mode disable
# OR
pluploader safe-mode disable --keep-state

Licenses

You can also use the pluploader to get and set licenses for your plugins.

To get the current license information:

pluploader license info com.example.plugin.key

To set a license, use the update functionality.

pluploader license update com.example.plugin.key --license "AAA..."

ℹ Pro tip: Use xargs to read a license from a file by using

cat license.txt | xargs pluploader license update --license

You can also apply timebomb licenses

by using

pluploader license timebomb com.example.plugin.key --timebomb threehours

You can choose between 3 hours (threehours), 60 seconds (sixtyseconds) and 10 seconds (tenseconds)

To remove an applied license, you can use:

pluploader license delete com.example.plugin.key

Access Tokens (Cloud Development Licenses)

You can also use pluploader to list, get, update/set and delete access tokens of apps.

pluploader license access-token list
pluploader license access-token info com.example.plugin.key
pluploader license access-token update com.example.plugin.key --token "token"
pluploader license access-token delete com.example.plugin.key

API

You can interact with the HTTP/REST-API of your configured instance by using pluploader api ENDPOINT [BODY]. The arguments work a bit like the well-known tool curl. You can use -X METHOD to choose the HTTP method and -H "HEADER-NAME: HEADER-VALUE" to add a HTTP header.

pluploader api -X POST -H "content-type: application/json" rest/api/content/ '{ "type":"page", "title":"My Test Page", "space":{"key":"TEST"}, "body":{ "storage": { "value":"<p>This is a new page</p>", "representation":"storage" } } }'

RPC

pluploader rpc allows interaction with the (deprecated, but still functional) confluence rpc api by providing the method name and it's required arguments. You do not need to care about the rpc-authentication, as this command takes care of it. Therefore, you can also obmit the first parameter (String token) required for many commands.

pluploader rpc addUser '{"name":"charlie", "fullname": "charlie", "email":"charlie@charlie"}' charlie

Scheduled Jobs (Confluence - Experimental)

ℹ This feature is currently experimental and only works in specific version of Confluence (tested on Confluence 7.5).

Pluploader can also be used to retrieve information about confluence jobs and execute them.

You can grab a list of all jobs by running

pluploader job list

Available options are:

  • --hide-default - Hides confluence internal jobs
  • --print-all-infos - print more informations

You can also run jobs by running

pluploader job run

Get more information about a job by running

pluploader job info

And disable or enable jobs by running

pluploader job enable
# AND
pluploader job disable

A job can be specified by either using --id <job id> or by using --idx <job index in list>. If no job is specified, you will be asked interactively.

Development

pluploader uses poetry as it's package manager. As a command line argument parser, Typer is used.

FAQ

Why would I use the pluploader over X?

Of course, you can use whatever tool you want to.

Why would I use the pluploader over the UPM?

It's a faster workflow.

Why would I use the pluploader over the Atlas-CLI?

atlas-cli is awesome, but sadly it's deprecated. Also since you can use your own maven command with pluploader, you therefore can skip tests, make a mvn clean, and many more.

In general, pluploader is just a bit more flexiable.

Why would I use the pluploader over QuickReload?

QuickReload is cool, but some of us prefer to use docker instances or atlas-standalone rather than atlas-run.
