About The Project

The Virak CLI is a command-line interface that allows you to manage your Virak Cloud resources directly from your terminal.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.24.4 or later

Installation

From Releases

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases.

Choose the appropriate binary for your platform:

• Linux (amd64): virak-cli-linux-amd64
• Linux (arm64): virak-cli-linux-arm64
• macOS (amd64): virak-cli-darwin-amd64
• macOS (arm64): virak-cli-darwin-arm64
• Windows (amd64): virak-cli-windows-amd64.exe
• Windows (arm64): virak-cli-windows-arm64.exe

Installing Binaries

1. Download the binary file for your platform from the releases page.
2. Make the binary executable (skip this step on Windows):

   chmod +x virak-cli-*

3. Move the binary to a directory in your PATH, for example:

   sudo mv virak-cli-* /usr/local/bin/virak-cli

4. Verify the installation:

   virak-cli --version

Installing from Archives

Alternatively, download the compressed archive (.tar.gz for Linux/macOS, .zip for Windows), extract it, and follow the binary installation steps above.

Installing on Debian/Ubuntu

For Debian-based systems, download the .deb package and install with:

sudo dpkg -i virak-cli_*.deb

Installing on Windows

1. Download the .exe file for your Windows architecture from the releases page.
2. Create a folder for the CLI, for example C:\Program Files\virak-cli\.
3. Move the downloaded .exe file to that folder.
4. Add the folder to your system's PATH:
   • Open System Properties (search for "environment variables" in Start menu).
   • Click "Environment Variables".
   • Under "System variables", find "Path" and click "Edit".
   • Click "New" and add C:\Program Files\virak-cli\.
   • Click "OK" to save.
5. Open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window and verify:

   virak-cli --version

Alternatively, you can use the Windows archive (.zip) - extract it and follow the same steps.

Note: Releases are automated using GoReleaser, ensuring consistent and verified builds across platforms.

From Source

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/virak-cloud/cli.git

2. Build the project

   go build -o virak-cli main.go

Alternatively, you can use go install:

go install github.com/virak-cloud/cli@latest

Usage

Use the virak-cli command to interact with your Virak Cloud resources.

virak-cli [command]

Authentication

Before using the CLI, you need to authenticate:

virak-cli login

This will open your browser for OAuth authentication. Alternatively, you can provide a token directly:

virak-cli login --token YOUR_TOKEN

You can also use the command aliases log-in or auth:

virak-cli log-in --token YOUR_TOKEN

Configuration

The CLI can be configured via a configuration file located at ~/.virak-cli.yaml.

The configuration file can be used to store your API token and other settings.

Example configuration:

auth:
  token: "your-api-token"
default:
  zoneId: "your-default-zone-id"
  zoneName: "your-default-zone-name"

Releasing

This project uses GoReleaser for automated releases. Releases are triggered via GitHub Actions on tag pushes.

To create a new release:

1. Ensure all changes are committed and pushed to the master branch.
2. Tag the commit with a semantic version (e.g., v1.2.3):

   git tag v1.2.3
   git push origin v1.2.3

3. The release workflow will automatically:
   • Build binaries for Linux, Windows, and macOS (AMD64 and ARM64).
   • Create archives and Debian packages.
   • Generate a changelog from GitHub commits.
   • Publish the release to GitHub Releases.

The release process is configured in .goreleaser.yml and uses environment variables for API URLs.
