All the examples below come in two forms. One uses the pulp-cli project, and the other uses the httpie application to talk directly to the REST API.
The pulp-cli command examples assume that the user executing the commands has configured pulp-cli as with the following command:
pulp config create \
--username admin \
--password YOUR-ADMIN-PASSWORD-HERE \
--base-url http://localhost:24817 \
--no-verify-ssl
REST API examples using httpie commands assume that the user executing the commands
has a .netrc file in their home directory. The .netrc should have the following configuration:
machine localhost
login admin
password password
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.
Note
pulp-cli is under active development, and does not yet have 100% coverage of the REST API. As a result, some
examples rely on httpie even in the pulp-cli code sections.
The examples also make use of curl and 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 curl
