- Mostly for debugging purposes you have the ability to print the calculated cluster configuration.

- ### Cluster status

-
13
- Run the following command to see the status of the cluster.
14
-

- ```
16
- dev-lxc status

- ### Specifying a Subset of Servers
32
-
33
- Many dev-lxc subcommands can act on a subset of the cluster's servers by specifying a regular expression that matches the desired server names.
34
-
35
- For example, the following command will show the status of the Chef Server.
36
-
37
- ```
38
- dev-lxc status chef
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### cluster-view, tks, tls commands
42
-
43
- The dev-lxc-platform comes with some commands that create and manage helpful
44
- tmux/byobu sessions to more easily see the state of a cluster.
45
-
46
- Running the `cluster-view` command in the same directory as a `dev-lxc.yml` file
47
- creates a tmux/byobu session with the same name as the cluster's directory.
48
-
49
- `cluster-view` can also be run with the parent directory of a `dev-lxc.yml` file
50
- as the first argument and `cluster-view` will change to that directory before
51
- creating the tmux/byobu session.
52
-
53
- The session's first window is named "cluster".
54
-
55
- The left side is for running dev-lxc commands.
56
-
57
- The right side updates every 0.5 seconds with the cluster's status provided by `dev-lxc status`.
58
-
59
- The session's second window is named "shell". It opens in the same directory as the
60
- cluster's `dev-lxc.yml` file.
61
-
62
- The `tls` and `tks` commands are really aliases.
63
-
64
- `tls` is an alias for `tmux list-sessions` and is used to see what tmux/byobu sessions
65
- are running.
66
-
67
- `tks` is an alias for `tmux kill-session -t` and is used to kill tmux/byobu sessions.
68
- When specifying the session to be killed you only need as many characters of the session
69
- name that are required to make the name unique among the list of running sessions.
70
-
71
- I recommend switching to a different running tmux/byobu session before killing the current
72
- tmux/byobu session. Otherwise you will need to reattach to the remaining tmux/byobu session.
73
- Use the keyboard shortcuts Alt-Up/Down to easily switch between tmux/byobu sessions.
74
-
75
- ### Start cluster
76
-
77
- Starting the cluster the first time takes awhile since it has a lot to download and build.
78
-
79
- ```
80
- dev-lxc up
81
- ```
82
-
83
- A test org, users, knife.rb and keys are automatically created in
84
- the bootstrap backend server in `/root/chef-repo/.chef` for testing purposes.
85
-
86
- The `knife-opc` plugin is installed in the embedded ruby environment of the
87
- Private Chef and Enterprise Chef server to facilitate the creation of the test
88
- org and user.
89
-
90
- Note: You also have the option of running the `prepare-product-cache` subcommand which downloads required product packages to the cache.
91
- This can be helpful when you don't want to start building the cluster yet but you want the package cache ready when you build the cluster later.
92
-
93
- ```
94
- dev-lxc prepare-product-cache
95
- ```
96
-
97
- ### Print Chef Automate Credentials
98
-
99
- If the cluster has a Chef Automate server you can use the `print-automate-credentials` subcommand to see what the login credentials.
100
-
101
- ```
102
- dev-lxc print-automate-credentials
103
- ```
104
-
105
- ### Create chef-repo
106
-
107
- Create a local chef-repo with appropriate knife.rb and pem files.
108
-
109
- Use the `-p` option to also get pivotal.pem and pivotal.rb files.
110
-
111
- Use the `-f` option to overwrite existing knife.rb and pivotal.rb files.
112
-
113
- ```
114
- dev-lxc chef-repo
115
- ```
116
-
117
- Now you can easily use knife to access the cluster.
118
-
119
- ```
120
- cd chef-repo
121
- knife client list
122
- ```
123
-
124
- ### Stop and start the cluster
125
-
126
- ```
127
- dev-lxc halt
128
- dev-lxc up
129
- ```
130
-
131
- ### Run arbitrary commands in each server
132
-
133
- ```
134
- dev-lxc run-command chef 'uptime'
135
- ```
136
-
137
- ### Attach the terminal to a server
138
-
139
- Attach the terminal to a server in the cluster that matches the REGEX pattern given.
140
-
141
- ```
142
- dev-lxc attach chef
143
- ```
144
-
145
- ### Create a snapshot of the servers
146
-
147
- Save the changes in the servers to snapshots with a comment.
148
-
149
- ```
150
- dev-lxc halt
151
- dev-lxc snapshot -c 'this is a snapshot comment'
152
- ```
153
-
154
- ### List snapshots
155
-
156
- ```
157
- dev-lxc snapshot -l
158
- ```
159
-
160
- ### Restore snapshots
161
-
162
- Restore snapshots by name.
163
-
164
- Leave out the snapshot name or specify `LAST` to restore the most recent snapshot.
165
-
166
- ```
167
- dev-lxc snapshot -r
168
- dev-lxc up
169
- ```
170
-
171
- ### Destroy snapshots
172
-
173
- Destroy snapshots by name or destroy all snapshots by specifying `ALL`.
174
-
175
- Leave out the snapshot name or specify `LAST` to destroy the most recent snapshots.
176
-
177
- ```
178
- dev-lxc snapshot -d
179
- ```
180
-
181
- ### Destroy cluster
182
-
183
- Use the following command to destroy the cluster's servers.
