How to use this image

Simplest way of using this image is to just run with the arguments you want. Example below will show the help of openstack command:

docker run -it --rm haxorof/openstack-cli help

To use OpenStack configuration file that is located on the host system you mount it into the container. Example below list all servers using the test cloud configuration defined in ${HOME}/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml:

docker run -it --rm -v ${HOME}/.config/openstack:/etc/openstack haxorof/openstack-cli --os-cloud test server list

Bash aliases

To make it easier to use this container you could setup bash aliases by creating ~/.bash_aliases with the following contents:

alias openstack='docker run -it --rm -v ${HOME}/.config/openstack:/etc/openstack haxorof/openstack-cli'
