Jobatator CLI Client

This is a little tool to allow human interaction with a jobatator instance throught the command line interface.

Installation

Using docker

docker run jobatator/cli your_username:your_password@your_host:8962

If you want to access a jobatator instance that is running on your host machine it's a little bit more complicated, if you are on linux the --network="host" flag may help but it's not working for me. Check these stackoverflow topics: How to access host port from docker container; From inside of a Docker container, how do I connect to the localhost of the machine?

Build from source

• git clone https://github.com/jobatator/cli.git jobatator-cli
• cd jobatator-cli
• go build -o jobatator-cli main.go
• Your binary is ready to be used at the following location: jobatator-cli/jobatator-cli

Usage

Usage: jobatator-cli [OPTIONS] URI

Will connect to the jobatator instance

The URI is use to specify the host, port, username, password and group of the session:

[[username][:password]@]host[:port][/group]

Flags:

• -r or --raw : Will disable the automatic JSON formatting and will instead show the raw ugly JSON

Features

• Automatic connection using the AUTH command
• Automatic group selection using the USE_GROUP command
• Command autocompletion
• Command history (Up & Down arrow keys)
• JSON formatting
• A more human way of communication with a jobatator instance

Side note: In fact, you could use the netcat command it will totaly do the work but this cli provide some extra feature to feel more confortable.

Credits

• For auto completion, command history this cli is using the c-bata/go-prompt lib
• For JSON formatting, this use the TylerBrock/colorjson lib
