The commandline client is a commandline tool for using the reference clients.

Installation

Requires java 11 and perl is install to run on Linux and Mac.

Requires java11 to run on Windows. 

Download the chosen version of the bitrepository-command-line-XXX-distributed.tar.gz from here (XXX refers to the version):

https://sbforge.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/org/bitrepository/reference/bitrepository-client/. The latest devel client can be found here. 

Unpack the file in any wanted location, eg. 

tar -xvf bitrepository-command-line-XXX-distributed.tar.gz

It requires a 'conf' sub-directory to the installation which contain all the settings, etc. for the setup of the collection. This can be done in either of the two ways:

  • Create the 'conf' directory and copy all the settings file into it.
  • Make a symbolic link to the 'conf' directory for the WebClient or the services in the collection (e.g. 'ln -s /my/bitrepository/services/conf).

Certificate

If secure communication is used for this bit repository, a client certificate needs to be define. In this case the client expects to find a certificate name client-certificate.pem in the conf folder. Either name the certificate client-certificate.pem  directly or create a symlink to the certificate.

Execute

The different commands can be run with the bitmag.sh script (bitmag.cmd on windows). E.g. 

bin/bitmag.sh get-checksums -c test1

Will fetch the checksums for the test1 collection.

get-file

Retrieves a file. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] The id of the file to.

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to retrieve the file for.

  • [OPTIONAL] -p The id of the pillar where the file should be retrieved from. If no argument, then the file will be retrieved from the fastest pillars.

  • [OPTIONAL] -l The location where the file should be placed (either total path or directory). If no argument, then in the directory where the script is located.

get-file-ids

Get the list of files in a collection 'get-file-ids.sh' command. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to retrieve the file for.

  • [OPTIONAL] -i The id of the file to retrieve. If no such argument, then the id of all files are retrieved.

  • [OPTIONAL] -p The id of the pillar where the id should be retrieved.

get-checksums

Lists the checksum for the files in the indicated collection. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to retrieve checksums from.

  • [OPTIONAL] -i The id of the file to retrieve the checksum from. If no such argument, then the checksums of all files are retrieved.

  • [OPTIONAL] -p The id of the pillar to retrieve checksums from.

  • [OPTIONAL] -S The salt of checksum to request in the response. Requires the -R ChecksumType (algorithm) argument with a salt type algorithm.

  • [OPTIONAL] -R The algorithm of checksum to request in the response from the pillars. Allowed values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512. If using a salt, prefix the listed types with HMAC_, eg. HMAC_MD5.

put-file

Puts a file into a collection. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to place the the file in.

  • -f The path to the file, which is wanted to be put.
  • -u The URL where the file can be downloaded.
    • [MANDATORY] Most have either -f or -u arguments, though never both.
  • -C The checksum of the new file
    • -C is required, if -u argument is used, and optional if -f is used.
  • -i The id for the file to perform the operation on.
    • -i is required, if -u argument is used, and optional if -f is used.

  • [OPTIONAL] -S The salt of checksum to request in the response. Requires the -R ChecksumType argument.

  • [OPTIONAL] -R The algorithm of checksum to request in the response from the pillars.  Allowed values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512. If using a salt, prefix the listed types with HMAC_, eg. HMAC_MD5.

  • [OPTIONAL] -p The pillar to put the file at. If left out, then the file is put to all pillars.
  • [OPTIONAL] -d For removing the file from the file-server after the put-file operation is completed.

delete-file

Deletes a file in the bit-repository. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] -p The id of the pillar where the file should be delete.

  • [MANDATORY] -i The id for the file to perform the operation on

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to place the the file in.

  • [MANDATORY] -C The checksum of the file to be delete (in the collection default checksum specificiation).

  • [OPTIONAL] -S The salt of checksum to request in the response. Requires the -R ChecksumType (algorithm) argument with a salt type algorithm.

  • [OPTIONAL] -R The algorithm of checksum to request in the response from the pillars. Allowed values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512. If using a salt, prefix the listed types with HMAC_, eg. HMAC_MD5.

replace-file

Replaces a file in the bit-repository with the provided file. It takes the following arguments:

  • [MANDATORY] -c The id for the collection to perform the operation on

  • [MANDATORY] -C The checksum of the file to be replaced.

  • [MANDATORY] -p The id of the pillar where the should be performed.

  • -f The path to the new file for the replacement.
  • -u The URL where the replacement file can be downloaded.
    • [MANDATORY] Most have either -f or -u arguments, though never both.
  • -r The checksum of the new file
    • -r is required, if -u argument is used, and optional if -f is used.
  • -i The id for the file to perform the operation on.
    • -i is required, if -u argument is used, and optional if -f is used.
  • -R [OPTIONAL] The algorithm of checksum to request in the response from the pillars. Allowed values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512. If using a salt, prefix the listed types with HMAC_, eg. HMAC_MD5.
  • -S [OPTIONAL] The salt of checksum to request in the response. Requires the -R ChecksumType (algorithm) argument with a salt type algorithm.
