Resin CLI Documentation

This tool allows you to interact with the resin.io api from the comfort of your command line.

Please make sure your system meets the requirements as specified in the README.

To get started download the CLI from npm.

$ npm install resin-cli -g

Then authenticate yourself:

$ resin login

Now you have access to all the commands referenced below.

Proxy support

The CLI does support HTTP(S) proxies.

You can configure the proxy using several methods (in order of their precedence):

  • set the RESINRC_PROXY environment variable in the URL format (with protocol, host, port, and optionally the basic auth),
  • use the resin config file (project-specific or user-level) and set the proxy setting. This can be:
    • a string in the URL format,
    • or an object following this format, which allows more control,
  • or set the conventional https_proxy / HTTPS_PROXY / http_proxy / HTTP_PROXY environment variable (in the same standard URL format).

Table of contents

Application

app create <name>

Use this command to create a new resin.io application.

You can specify the application device type with the --type option. Otherwise, an interactive dropdown will be shown for you to select from.

You can see a list of supported device types with

$ resin devices supported

Examples:

$ resin app create MyApp
$ resin app create MyApp --type raspberry-pi

Options

--type, -t <type>

application device type (Check available types with resin devices supported)

apps

Examples:

$ resin app MyApp

app restart <name>

Use this command to restart all devices that belongs to a certain application.

Examples:

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | resin key add Main

Logs

logs <uuid>

Use this command to show logs for a specific device.

By default, the command prints all log messages and exit.

To continuously stream output, and see new logs in real time, use the --tail option.

Note that for now you need to provide the whole UUID for this command to work correctly.

This is due to some technical limitations that we plan to address soon.

Examples:

$ resin logs 23c73a1
$ resin logs 23c73a1

Options

--tail, -t

continuously stream output

Sync

sync [uuid]

Warning: 'resin sync' requires an openssh-compatible client and 'rsync' to be correctly installed in your shell environment. For more information (including Windows support) please check the README here: https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli

Use this command to sync your local changes to a certain device on the fly.

After every 'resin sync' the updated settings will be saved in '/.resin-sync.yml' and will be used in later invocations. You can also change any option by editing '.resin-sync.yml' directly.

Here is an example '.resin-sync.yml' :

$ cat $PWD/.resin-sync.yml
uuid: 7cf02a6
destination: '/usr/src/app'
before: 'echo Hello'
after: 'echo Done'
ignore:
	- .git
	- node_modules/

Command line options have precedence over the ones saved in '.resin-sync.yml'.

If '.gitignore' is found in the source directory then all explicitly listed files will be excluded from the syncing process. You can choose to change this default behavior with the '--skip-gitignore' option.

Examples:

$ resin sync 7cf02a6 --source . --destination /usr/src/app
$ resin sync 7cf02a6 -s /home/user/myResinProject -d /usr/src/app --before 'echo Hello' --after 'echo Done'

$ resin sync --verbose false
$ resin sync

Options

Warning: 'resin ssh' requires an openssh-compatible client to be correctly installed in your shell environment. For more information (including Windows support) please check the README here: https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli

Use this command to get a shell into the running application container of your device.

Examples:

$ resin ssh MyApp

Use this command to set or update a device note.

If note command isn't passed, the tool attempts to read from stdin.

To view the notes, use $ resin device .

Examples:

$ resin note "My useful note" --device 7cf02a6
$ cat note.txt | resin note --device 7cf02a6

Options

OS

os download <type>

Use this command to download an unconfigured os image for a certain device type. Check available types with resin devices supported

If version is not specified the newest stable (non-pre-release) version of OS is downloaded if available, or the newest version otherwise (if all existing versions for the given device type are pre-release).

You can pass --version menu to pick the OS version from the interactive menu of all available versions.

Examples:

$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img
$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version 1.24.1

Use this command to get a shell into the running application container of your device.

The '--host' option will get you a shell into the Host OS of the resinOS device. No option will return a list of containers to enter or you can explicitly select one by passing its name to the --container option

Examples:

local push [deviceIp]

Warning: 'resin local push' requires an openssh-compatible client and 'rsync' to be correctly installed in your shell environment. For more information (including Windows support) please check the README here: https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli

Use this command to push your local changes to a container on a LAN-accessible resinOS device on the fly.

If Dockerfile or any file in the 'build-triggers' list is changed, a new container will be built and run on your device. If not, changes will simply be synced with rsync into the application container.

After every 'resin local push' the updated settings will be saved in '/.resin-sync.yml' and will be used in later invocations. You can also change any option by editing '.resin-sync.yml' directly.

Here is an example '.resin-sync.yml' :

$ cat $PWD/.resin-sync.yml
destination: '/usr/src/app'
before: 'echo Hello'
after: 'echo Done'
ignore:
	- .git
	- node_modules/

Command line options have precedence over the ones saved in '.resin-sync.yml'.

If '.gitignore' is found in the source directory then all explicitly listed files will be excluded when using rsync to update the container. You can choose to change this default behavior with the '--skip-gitignore' option.

Examples:

$ resin local push
$ resin local push --app-name test-server --build-triggers package.json,requirements.txt
$ resin local push --force-build
$ resin local push --force-build --skip-logs
$ resin local push --ignore lib/
$ resin local push --verbose false
