glance - Client for OpenStack Images API
glance [options] <command> [command-options]
glance help
glance help <command>
The glance command line utility interacts with OpenStack Images Service (Glance).
In order to use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password, project (historically called tenant), and auth endpoint. You can use configuration options --os-username, --os-password, --os-project-id, and --os-auth-url or set corresponding environment variables:
export OS_USERNAME=user export OS_PASSWORD=pass export OS_PROJECT_ID=b363706f891f48019483f8bd6503c54b export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0
The command line tool will attempt to reauthenticate using provided credentials for every request. You can override this behavior by manually supplying an auth token using --os-image-url and --os-auth-token or by setting corresponding environment variables:
export OS_IMAGE_URL=http://glance.example.org:9292/ export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155
You can select an API version to use by --os-image-api-version option or by setting corresponding environment variable:
export OS_IMAGE_API_VERSION=1
Default Images API used is v2.
