Rancher Driver

Mario Loria contributed a full Rancher driver for our container abstraction interface. Documentation is available with examples of usage, you can use the driver to deploy containers, services, stacks or operate and maintain existing deployments! Thanks Mario.

from libcloud.container.types import Provider
from libcloud.container.providers import get_driver
from libcloud.container.base import ContainerImage

driver = get_driver(Provider.RANCHER)

connection = driver("MYRANCHERACCESSKEY", "MYRANCHERSECRETKEY",
                    host="17.23.66.4", port=443)

image = ContainerImage("hastebin", "hastebin", "rlister/hastebin", "latest",
                       driver=None)

new_service = connection.ex_deploy_service(name="excitingservice", image=image,
                                           environmentid="1e2",
                                           environment={
                                               "STORAGE_TYPE": "file"
                                           })

New API
