0. What is it?

pyOCNI (Python Open Cloud Networking Interface): A Python implementation of an extended OCCI server with a JSON/HTTP serialization and a Category Manager.

1. The Latest Version

version 0.9

2. API Documentation

the api documentation are available through this html file: pyOCNI/pyocni/doc/index.html

3. Installation

3.1. Requirements

This software needs this packages to run:

  • python <= 2.7
  • python-all-dev (for eventlet/greenlet install/make)
  • python-setuptools (to execute the setup.py file)
  • couchdb >= 1.2.0:

To install couchdb on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install couchdb

To test CouchDB: http://127.0.0.1:5984

To test CouchDB GUI: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/

3.2. Install

sudo python setup.py install

3.3. Configuration

  • Logger configuration: OCCILogging.conf
  • Server configuration: occi_server.conf
  • CouchDB configuration: couchdb_server.conf

3.4. Server running

sudo python start.py

4. HowTo use

In order to use pyOCNI, you must respect certain rules :

  1. All requests/responses must follow the OCCI standard, any detected conflict will cancel the request.
  2. Kinds, Mixins and Actions can be created, retrieved, updated or deleted (CRUD) on the fly.
  3. Scheme + Term = OCCI_ID : unique identifier of the OCCI (Kind/Mixin/Action) description
  4. PyOCNI_Server_Address + location = OCCI_Location of (Kind/Mixin/Action) description
  5. location word refers to a kind or mixin location.
  6. Links will be treated the same way as resources and internal links are not taking into account for clarity reasons.

PyOCNI offers two OCCI rendering formats : HTTP and JSON. The following commands are JSON specific. If you want to see HTTP command please check here.

Note: To simplify the output, contents of the requests are available in section json files to execute the HowTo.

5. For developers

If you want export the use of your service through OCCI, two parts should be developped:

  1. the definition of the kind, action, and mixin with the list of attributes
  2. implementation of the specific service backend (CRUD operations)
