Kong Developer Portal CLI

The Kong Developer Portal CLI is used to manage your Developer Portals from the command line. It is built using clipanion.

Overview

This is the next generation TypeScript based Developer Portal CLI. The goal of this project is to make a higher quality CLI tool over the initial sync script.

This project is built for Kong Enterprise >= 1.3.

For Kong Enterprise <= 0.36, or for legacy mode on Kong Enterprise >= 1.3 use the legacy sync script.

Install

npm install -g kong-portal-cli

Usage

The easiest way to start is by cloning the portal-templates repo master branch locally.

Then edit workspaces/default/cli.conf.yaml to set kong_admin_url and kong_admin_token to match your setup.

Make sure Kong is running and portal is on:

Now from root folder of the templates repo you can run:

portal <command> <workspace>

Where <command> is one of:

• config Output or change configuration of the portal on the given workspace.
• deploy Deploy changes made locally under the given workspace upstream.
• disable Disable the portal on the given workspace.
• enable Enable the portal on the given workspace.
• fetch Fetches content and themes from the given workspace.
• init Initialize a local workspace with a default cli.conf.yaml configuration file.
• sync Sync changes made locally under the given workspace upstream with the upstream workspace.
• wipe Deletes all content and themes from upstream workspace.

Where <workspace> indicates the directory/workspace pairing you would like to operate on.

For deploy

• Add -W or --watch to make changes reactive.
• Add -P or --preserve to avoid deleting files upstream that you do not have locally.
• Add -D or --disable-ssl-verification to disable SSL verification and use self-signed certs.
• Add -I or --ignore-specs to ignore the '/specs' directory.
• Add -S or --skip-path to skip files or directories that match the given path. This option can be repeated.

For fetch

• Add -K or --keep-encode to keep binary assets as base64 encoded strings locally.
• Add -D or --disable-ssl-verification to disable SSL verification and use self-signed certs.
• Add -I or --ignore-specs to ignore the '/specs' directory.

For sync

• Add -W or --watch to make changes reactive.
• Add -D or --disable-ssl-verification to disable SSL verification and use self-signed certs.
• Add -I or --ignore-specs to ignore the '/specs' directory.
• Add -S or --skip-path to skip files or directories that match the given path. This option can be repeated.

For wipe

• Add -D or --disable-ssl-verification to disable SSL verification and use self-signed certs.
• Add -I or --ignore-specs to ignore the '/specs' directory.
• Add -S or --skip-path to skip files or directories that match the given path. This option can be repeated.

For enable and disable

• Add -D or --disable-ssl-verification to disable SSL verification and use self-signed certs.

Using cli.conf.yaml

In addition to kong_admin_uri and kong_admin_token, you can also add:

• disable_ssl_verification: true and
• ignore_specs: true
• max_content_length_mb - maximum size allowed to be transferred in Mb - default is 10 (10Mb)

Set the options in the CLI configuration file to always enable those settings on that Workspace instead of passing the option flags with every command.

Using Environment Variables

You can override some config values set in cli.conf.yaml via environment variables. For example, If you wanted to override the Kong Admin URL, you can run:

KONG_ADMIN_URL=http://new-admin-url.com portal deploy default

Environment variables are useful for scripting as well as temporarily overriding particular settings.

Available environment variables include:

• KONG_ADMIN_URL Kong Admin URL the CLI should target for uploading files.
• KONG_ADMIN_TOKEN_FILE Kong Admin Token token file path used to authenticate with the Kong Admin API, this will take precedence to KONG_ADMIN_TOKEN.
• KONG_ADMIN_TOKEN Kong Admin Token token used to authenticate with the Kong Admin API.
