Cloudmonkey without default config

[jordan j <yo...@gmail.com>]

Do you know if it is possible and what is the syntax to use cloudmonkey
commands without configuring profile? I dont want to have credentials or
keys on the server disk.

Is it possible to do something like this?

cmk list instances -key my_key -secret my_secret

I see no such arguments in the documentation.

Regards,
Jordan

It'd be nice if cmk could read this stuff from env vars, but alas it 
doesn't seem to be the case. Ask for a feature. :)

Otherwise, what you can do is set stuff up temporarily then delete it 
when done, for example:
(let's use a non-default config path, so it's extra disposable)

cmkconfig=$(mktemp -p .)
cmk -c "$cmkconfig" set url cloud:8080/client/api
cmk -c "$cmkconfig" set apikey lalala
cmk -c "$cmkconfig" set secretkey skeylalala

Then do you stuff with cmk:
cmk -c "$cmkconfig" list virtualmachines etc

And when you are done just delete the file:
rm -f "$cmkconfig"
