Command Line Interface (CLI)

lambdastack CLI is ran from the LambdaStack Docker Container after you run the following command:

$ docker run -it -v $PWD:/shared -rm lambdastack/lambdastack:latest

Note: lambdastack/lambdastack:latest pulls down the latest version. If you want a specific version then add that to the end instead of latest.

Example of requesting a specific version (tag of 1.3.4). This is the best practice since you're guaranteed to know what you're getting if you need to build another cluster and so on:

$ docker run -it -v $PWD:/shared -rm lambdastack/lambdastack:1.3.4

This will download the docker image if it has not already been download. If it has already been download then it will simply launch the container. At this point, it will put you at the /shared directory on the command line of the container. Since you previously created directory where 'shared cold be mounted to, you are now at the root of that given directory. Anything stored here will be persisted after the container is exited (containers can't persist data unless mounted to a volume outside of the container - like a directory on your hard drive).

Launch the lambdastack CLI to build the initial data yaml file (e.g., demo.yml - if you specified demo on the command line with the option -n demo). The following command will use AWS and build a minimal project and data yaml file:

lambdastack -p aws -n demo

The location of the new demo.yml file will be located at build/demo/demo.yml. The -n <name> option is used for the subdirectory name and the name of the data yaml file. See Getting Started).
