Debian 8 Server mit python über RESTful API erstellen
Server mit python3 und RESTful API erstellen
Viele unserer Beispiele verwenden cURL dem einfachen Verständnis wegen. Aber deutlich mehr Kontrolle, eine bessere Integration in vorhandene Scripte und letztlich auch mehr Performance erhält man mit Sprachen wie zum Beispiel python.
Ich möchte mit diesem Guide keine komplette Library bauen, sondern pragmatisch die gridscale RESTful-API nutzen um einen Server mit python3 und der RESTful API zu erstellen.
Auch ist dieser Guide nicht als “Benchmark” gedacht, sondern als Vorlage wie man die API mit python nutzen kann.
Daher führt die API-Befehle absichtlich sequentiell und mit großzügigen Poll-Intervallen aus um den Code verständlich und leicht reproduzierbar zu halten.
Was soll das Script alles können:
– eine passende Location für einen Server finden
– einen Server erstellen
– das Debian 8 Template finden
– ein Storage erstellen
– Storage und Public-Netzwerk mit dem Server verbinden
– den Server starten
– Server pingen und per SSH einloggen
Ok, los gehts 🙂
1) Script Grundgerüst
Damit User-ID und API-Token nicht im Script hardcoded werden, nutzen wir argparse und übergeben beide Werte beim Programmstart.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Create a server using the gridscale RESTful API.
"""
import argparse
import random
import string
def parse_args():
"""
Setup parser for command line arguments.
"""
apiurl = 'https://api.gridscale.io/objects'
random_pw = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits) for i in range(8))
# create top level parser
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Create a server using the gridscale RESTful API')
parser.add_argument('userid',
type=str,
help='User-UUID')
parser.add_argument('token',
type=str,
help='The API-Token (generate via https://my.gridscale.io/APIs/Create)')
parser.add_argument('--apiurl',
type=str,
help='The API URL (default: ' + apiurl + ')',
default=apiurl)
parser.add_argument('--rootpw',
type=str,
help='Server root password (default: random 8 char password)',
default=random_pw)
return parser.parse_args()
def main(args):
"""
Create a server with storage + public networking.
1a) find a location we can use
b) find the "Debian 8" template
c) find the object_uuid of the public network
d) request a new IPv4 and IPv6
2) create a storage with the template
3) create a server
4) connect storage, public network, IPv4 and IPv6 to the server
5) start the server
"""
apiurl = args.apiurl
headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}
headers['X-Auth-UserId'] = args.userid
headers['X-Auth-Token'] = args.token
if __name__ == '__main__':
main(parse_args())
2) RESTful API Status abfragen
Eine simple Funktion, deren einziger Zweck es ist, nachdem wir einen API-Request abgesetzt haben, die API auf Fertigstellung hin zu pollen.
Diese Funktion nutze ich um alles was wir mit der API machen strikt zu serialisieren. Natürlich erlaubt die API beliebige, parallele Requests – sofern diese nicht voneinander abhängen (Beispiel: ein Storage muss zuerst erstellt werden, bevor es mit einem Server verbunden werden kann). Threaded Verarbeitung ist etwas für eines der nächsten Guides.
import requests
import json
import time
def poll_state(apiurl, headers, url, urltype):
"""
Basic RESTful API poller.
Wait until a given endpoint reaches a certain "active" state.
This helps us to serialize API requests.
"""
poll_time_in_sec = 30
sleep_time = 0.1
counter = 0
counter_max = int(poll_time_in_sec / sleep_time)
while True:
req = requests.get(apiurl + url, headers=headers)
if req.status_code not in [200, 202, 204]:
message = ['Polling failed - got status',
str(req.status_code),
'with error:',
str(req.text)]
raise Exception(' '.join(message))
data = json.loads(req.text)
if data[urltype]['status'] in ['active']:
break
if counter > counter_max:
message = ['Polling URL',
str(apiurl + url),
'timed out after',
str(poll_time_in_sec),
'seconds.']
raise Exception(' '.join(message))
time.sleep(sleep_time)
3) Location, Template und Public-Network finden
def choose_location(apiurl, headers, name):
req = requests.get(apiurl, headers=headers)
locations = json.loads(req.text)['locations']
for location in locations:
if locations[location]['name'] == name:
return location
raise Exception('Location not found.')
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# find the uuid of 'de/fra' location
location_uuid = choose_location(apiurl, headers, 'de/fra')
def choose_template(apiurl, headers, name):
req = requests.get(apiurl, headers=headers)
templates = json.loads(req.text)['templates']
for template in templates:
if templates[template]['name'] == name:
return template
raise Exception('Template not found.')
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# find the uuid of the "Debian 8" template
template_uuid = choose_template(apiurl, headers, 'Debian 8 (64bit)')
def choose_public_net(apiurl, headers):
req = requests.get(apiurl, headers=headers)
networks = json.loads(req.text)['networks']
for network in networks:
if networks[network]['public_net']:
return network
raise Exception('Public Network not found.')
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# find the uuid of the public network
public_net_uuid = choose_public_net(apiurl, headers)
4) Eine IPv4 und eine IPv6 Adresse anfordern
IP-Adressen werden direkt vergeben, so dass kein Polling notwendig ist.
Auch kann es in einem normalen Szenario gut sein, dass man bereits IPs hat, welche man verwenden möchte.
Dann würde man hier natürlich nicht neue IPs anfordern, sondern mit einem GET auf /ips ganz ähnlich wie bei den locations eine Liste der vorhandenen IPs abfragen und sich davon die passende wählen.
def request_ip(apiurl, headers, ip_family, location_uuid):
payload = {'location_uuid': location_uuid,
'family': ip_family}
req = requests.post(apiurl, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if req.status_code in [202]:
return json.loads(req.text)
raise Exception('IP could not be allocated')
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# request one IPv4 address
ipv4_data = request_ip(apiurl, headers, 4, location_uuid)
ipv4_uuid = ipv4_data['object_uuid']
# request one IPv6 address
ipv6_data = request_ip(apiurl, headers, 6, location_uuid)
ipv6_uuid = ipv6_data['object_uuid']
5) Storage mit Debian 8 als Template erstellen
def create_storage(apiurl, headers, hostname, capacity, template_uuid, location_uuid, rootpw):
payload = {'location_uuid': location_uuid,
'name': 'Storage with Debian 8',
'capacity': capacity,
'template': {'hostname': hostname,
'template_uuid': template_uuid,
'password': rootpw,
'password_type': 'plain'}}
req = requests.post(apiurl + '/storages', data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if req.status_code not in [202]:
raise Exception('Storage could not be created.')
storage_data = json.loads(req.text)
object_uuid = storage_data['object_uuid']
poll_state(apiurl, headers, '/storages/' + str(object_uuid), 'storage')
return object_uuid
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# create storage from Debian 8 template
storage_uuid = create_storage(apiurl, headers,
hostname='debian8'
capacity=2,
template_uuid=template_uuid,
location_uuid=location_uuid,
rootpw=args.rootpw)
6) Server konfigurieren
def create_server(apiurl, headers, name, cores, memory, location_uuid):
payload = {'location_uuid': location_uuid,
'name': name,
'cores': cores,
'memory': memory}
req = requests.post(apiurl + '/servers', data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if req.status_code not in [202]:
raise Exception('Server could not be created.')
storage_data = json.loads(req.text)
object_uuid = storage_data['object_uuid']
poll_state(apiurl, headers, '/servers/' + str(object_uuid), 'server')
return object_uuid
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# create server
server_uuid = create_server(apiurl, headers,
'Debian 8 Server',
cores=1,
memory=1,
location_uuid=location_uuid)
7) Alle Komponenten mit dem Server verbinden (Storage, Public-Netzwerk, IPv4, IPv6)
def add_relation(apiurl, headers, server_uuid, object_uuid, object_type):
payload = {'object_uuid': object_uuid}
if object_type == 'storage':
reltype = '/storages'
elif object_type == 'network':
reltype = '/networks'
elif object_type == 'ip':
reltype = '/ips'
request_url = apiurl + '/servers/' + str(server_uuid) + reltype
req = requests.post(request_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if req.status_code not in [202]:
raise Exception('Server could not be related to object.')
poll_state(apiurl, headers, '/servers/' + str(server_uuid), 'server')
return True
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# now all the server relations to
# - storage
# - public network
# - ipv4
# - ipv6
add_relation(apiurl, headers, server_uuid, storage_uuid, 'storage')
add_relation(apiurl, headers, server_uuid, public_net_uuid, 'network')
add_relation(apiurl, headers, server_uuid, ipv4_uuid, 'ip')
add_relation(apiurl, headers, server_uuid, ipv6_uuid, 'ip')
8) …und jetzt noch der letzte Schritt: Server anschalten
def power_on(apiurl, headers, server_uuid):
payload = {'power': True}
request_url = apiurl + '/servers/' + str(server_uuid) + '/power'
req = requests.patch(request_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if req.status_code not in [202]:
raise Exception('Server could not be started.')
poll_state(apiurl, headers, '/servers/' + str(server_uuid), 'server')
return True
[...]
def main(args):
[...]
# finally power-on the server so we can use it
power_on(apiurl, headers, server_uuid)
Fertig
Jetzt einmal das Script ausführen, die Zeit messen für Laufzeit des Scripts, warten bis der Server pingt und einen SSH-Login auf den neuen Server machen.
In den obigen Beispielen haben ich die Konsolen-Ausgaben weggelassen – im fertigen Script unten sind diese natürlich mit dabei.
Ausführen – los gehts 🙂
