You can use our CLI to create any type of server environments or a scalable and high available container service on top of major public or private cloud providers.

CloudHero CLI is a open-source application written in python and it is build on top of CloudHero API

git clone https://github.com/cloud-hero/hero-cli.git  
cd hero-cli
pip install -r requirements.txt
./hero

Once installed you need to create a account. If you already have an active CloudHero account you can skip this step.

$./hero register -e email -p password -o organization

In order to use CloudHero CLI you need to login.

$./hero login -e email -p password

In order to deploy new servers using CloudHero CLI you need to register a cloud provider. Currently we support AWS EC2 and DigitalOcean.

$./hero provider add digital_ocean -a DO_Access_Token --name my_dev_cloud

$./hero provider add ec2 -a access_key -s secret_key --name my_prod_cloud

$./hero provider rm provider_id

$./hero provider ls

An environment is a group of servers (nodes). You can give them any name, but we usualy call them production, staging, development.

$./hero env add -p provider_id -l location -n name

$./hero env rm env_id

$./hero env ls

Nodes are servers which CloudHero will provision, install packages on and configure automatically for you.

$./hero node add -e env_id -k package -s size --name mynode

The following sizes are supported for DigitalOcean and Amazon.

CloudHero always installs official and stable packages, either provided by the distro or by the makers of the software. The best practices are taken into account so you could always take over your infrastructure whenever you want to.
Don't take our word for it! The formulas for installing packages are [avaiable for study and improvement](https://github.com/cloud-hero/saltstack-formulas).

This option allows you to horizontally scale any running node, both up and down. ####### UP

$./hero node scale up -e env_id --name node_to_scale --count number_of_nodes

####### DOWN

$./hero node scale down -e env_id --name node_to_scale --count number_of_nodes

$./hero node rm node_id

This option allows you to connect securely using SSH to your nodes

$./hero ssh node_name

You connect to any Docker Swarm cluster provisioned with CloudHero CLI or API

$./hero docker env_id

EXPORT DOCKER_HOST=tcp://ip_of_swarm_node:4000
# Run this command to configure your shell:
# eval "$(hero docker my-env)"
