resin-cli-mc v6.10.3

Resin CLI

The official resin.io CLI tool.

Requisites

• NodeJS (>= v4)
• Git
• The following executables should be correctly installed in your shell environment:
  • ssh: Any recent version of the OpenSSH ssh client (required by resin sync and resin ssh) - if you need ssh to work behind the proxy you also need proxytunnel installed (available as proxytunnel package for Ubuntu, for example)
  • rsync: >= 2.6.9 (required by resin sync)

Windows Support

Before installing resin-cli, you'll need a working node-gyp environment. If you don't already have one you'll see native module build errors during installation. To fix this, run npm install -g --production windows-build-tools in an administrator console (available as 'Command Prompt (Admin)' when pressing windows+x in Windows 7+).

resin sync and resin ssh have not been thoroughly tested on the standard Windows cmd.exe shell. We recommend using bash (or a similar) shell, like Bash for Windows 10 or Git for Windows.

If you still want to use cmd.exe you will have to use a package manager like MinGW or chocolatey. For MinGW the steps are:

1. Install MinGW.
2. Install the msys-rsync and msys-openssh packages.
3. Add MinGW to the %PATH% if this hasn't been done by the installer already. The location where the binaries are places is usually C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin, but it can vary if you selected a different location in the installer.
4. Copy your SSH keys to %homedrive%%homepath\.ssh.
5. If you need ssh to work behind the proxy you also need to install proxytunnel

Getting Started

Install

This might require elevated privileges in some environments.

(Typically useful, but not strictly required for all commands)

Run commands

Take a look at the full command documentation at https://docs.resin.io/tools/cli/, or by running resin help.

Plugins

The Resin CLI can be extended with plugins to automate laborious tasks and overall provide a better experience when working with Resin.io. Check the plugin development tutorial to learn how to build your own!

FAQ

Where is my configuration file?

The per-user configuration file lives in $HOME/.resinrc.yml or %UserProfile%\_resinrc.yml, in Unix based operating systems and Windows respectively.

The Resin CLI also attempts to read a resinrc.yml file in the current directory, which takes precedence over the per-user configuration file.

How do I point the Resin CLI to staging?

The easiest way is to set the RESINRC_RESIN_URL=resinstaging.io environment variable.

Alternatively, you can edit your configuration file and set resinUrl: resinstaging.io to persist this setting.

How do I make the Resin CLI persist data in another directory?

The Resin CLI persists your session token, as well as cached images in $HOME/.resin or %UserProfile%\_resin.

Pointing the Resin CLI to persist data in another location is necessary in certain environments, like a server, where there is no home directory, or a device running resinOS, which erases all data after a restart.

You can accomplish this by setting RESINRC_DATA_DIRECTORY=/opt/resin or adding dataDirectory: /opt/resin to your configuration file, replacing /opt/resin with your desired directory.
