Hammer Cli - Powershell

Jason_McMahan · February 15, 2017, 1:33pm

Good day,
I seen a prior post that suggested using Hammer Cli from Powershell to
manage aspects of Foreman.

I was wondering if anyone has any examples for this or places to read up?

I would like to use it to create autosign entries, hosts, and possibly even
more.

I know there is the foreman api, however I have had trouble executing those
commands from powershell.

Thank you for any help.

Hello,
there's documentation about how to use hammer cli for creating hosts:

github.com

theforeman/hammer-cli-foreman/blob/master/doc/host_create.md#host-creation

Host Creation
=============

Host creation is one of the most complex commands in the hammer's foreman plugin. The majority of its parameters
is obvious but there are some that need further explanation as their values differ with the type of a compute resource.

**Warning:**
Output of `hammer host create -h` may vary with the Foreman server used and plugins installed.

Sample help output for `hammer-cli-foreman 0.2.0` and `Foreman 1.8` follows:

```
$ hammer host create -h
Usage:
    hammer host create [OPTIONS]

Options:
 --architecture ARCHITECTURE_NAME          Architecture name
 --architecture-id ARCHITECTURE_ID
 --ask-root-password ASK_ROOT_PW           One of true/false, yes/no, 1/0.

Unfortunately it's not possible to create autosign entries from the
cli now. The commands are yet to be implemented.
