CloudTruth CLI
The CloudTruth CLI tool is used for interacting with the CloudTruth configuration management service. In order to use the CLI you must have an active CloudTruth account.
The CLI is available as package with a binary executable. Download the version built for your Platform: https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/
Here is an installation guide for your preferred distribution that will install the latest version of the CLI.
Shell Install
Debian/Ubuntu
MacOS
Windows
RedHat/CentOS
The shell installer supports Linux and Darwin distros and will install the latest version.
(curl -sL https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh || wget -qO- https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh) | sudo sh
You can also specify a version by passing the --version parameter from stdin.
(curl -sL https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh || wget -qO- https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest/download/install.sh) | sudo sh -s -- --version 1.0.9
Installation commands
CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION=$(curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest" | grep "tag_name" | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')

Installation commands
export CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION=$(curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest" | grep "tag_name" | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')
curl -sLOJ https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/download/$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION/cloudtruth-$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz

sudo install -m 755 -o root "cloudtruth-$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION-x86_64-apple-darwin/cloudtruth" /usr/local/bin
These commands will download the Windows executable and extract the contents into your Windows Temp directory then copy the executable to
C:\cloudtruth. Run them sequentially.$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION = ((Invoke-WebRequest https://api.github.com/repos/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/latest).Content | ConvertFrom-Json).tag_name
Invoke-WebRequest -outfile $ENV:TEMP\cloudtruth.zip https://github.com/cloudtruth/cloudtruth-cli/releases/download/$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION/cloudtruth-$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

copy-item -Path $ENV:Temp\cloudtruth-$CLOUDTRUTH_CLI_VERSION-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\* C:\cloudtruth\
$env:Path += ";C:\cloudtruth"
The script will add
C:\cloudtruthto your Path for the current PowerShell session. You can either addC:\ cloudtruthto your windows path or execute the CLI directly from C:\cloudtruth.Coming Soon!
The CloudTruth CLI tool has several ways of configuring it, allowing you to pick whichever method is most suitable for your environment. With any method you will need to create a CloudTruth API Access Token to grant the CLI access.
You can configure the CLI using:
The CloudTruth CLI can use supported
CLOUDTRUTH_ environment variables that are exported in a local shell. CloudTruth environment variables will merge with and take precedence over a configured CloudTruth configuration file.Config Options | Usage |
|---|---|
CLOUDTRUTH_API_KEY | Required: Authenticates the CLI with the provided CloudTruth API Token. |
CLOUDTRUTH_PROFILE | Your profile (which can contain API key, project, and environment) |
CLOUDTRUTH_PROJECT | Sets the targeted project. |
CLOUDTRUTH_ENVIRONMENT | Sets the targeted environment. |
Provide your CloudTruth API Key as an environment variable:
export CLOUDTRUTH_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
The CloudTruth CLI can be authorized directly by specifying the option
--api-key and providing your API key: cloudtruth --api-key "YOUR_API_KEY"
You can prefix commands with a space
" " in order to avoid having secret values like the API Key stored in your shell history.The CloudTruth CLI stores its configuration in the YAML format.
Run
cloudtruth configuration edit to initialize and open the configuration in your default editor.---
profiles:
default:
api_key: <Your personal access token>
another_profile:
source_profile: default
api_key: <Another personal access token>
project: "Project1"
environment: "staging"
You can have multiple named profiles in your configuration, allowing you to maintain multiple sets of configuration fields in the configuration file. Values can be inherited from one profile to another by setting the
source_profile configuration field. Profiles without an explicit source_profile configuration implicitly inherit from the default profile. Use a specific profile with the --profile option.cloudtruth --profile another-profile <subcommand>
If the
--profile argument is not supplied, the profile named default will be used.Alternatively, you can use the
cloudtruth configuration profiles command to create or edit profiles.cloudtruth configuration profiles set default --api-key "YOUR_API_KEY"
cloudtruth configuration profiles set demo-stage --proj MyFirstProject --env staging --desc "Demo Project Staging Environemnt"
The created configuration file is named cli.yml and resides in the standard application configuration location for your platform:
- Linux -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cloudtruth/cli.yml
- macOS -> $HOME/Library/Application Support/com.cloudtruth.CloudTruth-CLI/cli.yml
- Windows -> %AppData%\CloudTruth\CloudTruth CLI\config\cli.yml
Once you have the application configured with your CloudTruth API key, you can interact with your CloudTruth parameters. The CloudTruth CLI uses a subcommand structure to scope available actions as appropriate for a given resource.
You must select a target project for the CLI with the
--project option:cloudtruth --project YOUR_PROJECT
By default, all commands will run against the default CloudTruth environment. To change the target environment, you can supply use
--env option:cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject --env YOUR_ENVIRONMENT
The CloudTruth run command allows you to use parameters stored in CloudTruth and pass them through to your applications.
run options | Description |
|---|---|
-c, --command | Run this command |
--as-of | Date/time of parameter value(s) |
-i, --inherit | Handle the relationship between local and CloudTruth environments [default: overlay] [possible values: none, underlay, overlay, exclusive] |
r, --remove | Remove the variables from the CloudTruth environment for this run |
-s, --set | Set the variables in this run, even possibly overriding the CloudTruth environment |
You can issue the
cloudtruth run command with printenv to print all of your local and CloudTruth parameters.cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject run --command printenv
By default the run command will overlay all CloudTruth and local parameters into your command. You can use the
--inherit option to change the behavior. This example will only passthrough CloudTruth parameters:cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject run --inherit none --command printenv
The run command will also allow you to remove or set parameters to customize a specific workflow in real time.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject run --inherit none --command printenv --set NEW_VALUE=Production --remove SOME_VALUE
Listing objects such as projects, environments and parameters will return a list of names. For detailed information use the values flag
-v, --values.Create a new parameter and set a value. To mark the value as a secret use the
--secret flag.cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject parameters set PARAMETER_KEY --value SOME_VALUE
View a list of all parameters with values.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject parameters list --values
Retrieve a specific parameter value by key name
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject parameter get PARAMETER_KEY
Retrieve overrides for specific parameter values across environments.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject parameter environment PARAMETER_KEY
Show differences with parameter values across two environments.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject parameter differences --env staging --env production
View a tree view of all environments.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject environments tree
Retrieve the contents of a project template.
cloudtruth --project MyFirstProject template get "TEMPLATE_NAME"
You can also get auto-completions for most popular shells by running:
source <(cloudtruth completions <SHELL>), where "SHELL" is the name of your shell.Flags | Description |
|---|---|
-h, --help | Prints help information |
-V, --version | Prints version information |
Options | Description |
