Workflows¶
If you have not yet installed the pulp_container plugin on your Pulp installation, please follow our
User Setup. These documents will assume you have the environment installed and
ready to go.
Recommended Tools¶
httpie:
The REST API examples here use httpie to perform the requests.
The httpie commands below assume that the user executing the commands has a .netrc file
in the home directory. The .netrc should have the following configuration:
machine localhost
login admin
password admin
One should observe that httpie uses the configuration retrieved from .netrc by default.
Due to this, a custom Authorization header is always overwritten by the Basic Authorization with
the provided login and password. In order to send HTTP requests which contain JWT Authorization
headers, ensure yourself that the plugin JWTAuth plugin
was already installed.
If you configured the admin user with a different password, adjust the configuration
accordingly. If you prefer to specify the username and password with each request, please see
httpie documentation on how to do that.
jq: This documentation makes use of the jq library to parse the json received from requests, in order to get the unique urls generated when objects are created. To follow this documentation as-is please install the jq library with:
$ sudo dnf install jq
environtoment variables: To make these workflows copy/pastable, we make use of environment variables. The first variable to set is the hostname and port:
$ export BASE_ADDR=http://<hostname>:24817
