The Rancher Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool for interacting with your Rancher Server.
Note: This is for version 2.x.x of the cli, for info on 1.6.x see here
Check the releases page for direct downloads of the binary. After you download it, you can add it to your $PATH or build your own from source.
The CLI requires your Rancher Server address, along with credentials for authentication. Rancher CLI pulls this information from a JSON file, cli2.json, which is created the first time you run rancher login. By default, the path of this file is ~/.rancher/cli2.json.
$ rancher login https://<RANCHER_SERVER_URL> -t my-secret-token
Note: When entering your
<RANCHER_SERVER_URL>, include the port that was exposed while you installed Rancher Server.
Run rancher --help for a list of available commands.
The binaries will be located in /bin.
Run make.
Run CROSS=1 make build.
Run docker run --rm -it -v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/root/.rancher/cli2.json rancher/cli [ARGS].
Pass credentials by replacing <PATH_TO_CONFIG> with your config file for the server.
To build rancher/cli, run make. To use a custom Docker repository, do REPO=custom make, which produces a custom/cli image.
For bugs, questions, comments, corrections, suggestions, etc., open an issue in
