dropbox/dev/atomicapp pr_681 ✔ 5h7m ▶ atomicapp
usage: atomicapp {run,fetch,stop,genanswers} ...
This will fetch and run an Atomic App, a containerized application conforming to the Nulecule Specification
positional arguments:
{run,fetch,stop,genanswers}
optional arguments:
-V, --version Show the version and exit.
-v, --verbose Verbose output mode.
-q, --quiet Quiet output mode.
--mode {fetch,run,stop,genanswers}
The mode Atomic App is run in. This option has the
effect of switching the 'verb' that was passed by the
user as the first positional argument. This is useful
in cases where a user is not using the Atomic App cli
directly, but through another interface such as the
Atomic CLI. EX: `atomic run <IMAGE> --mode=genanswers`
--dry-run Don't actually call provider. The commands that should
be run will be logged but not run.
--answers-format {ini,json,xml,yaml}
The format for the answers.conf.sample file. Default:
ini
--namespace NAMESPACE
The namespace to use in the target provider
--providertlsverify {True,False}
Value for providertlsverify answers option.
--providertlsverify=False to disable tls verification
--providerconfig PROVIDERCONFIG
Value for providerconfig answers option.
--providercafile PROVIDERCAFILE
Value for providercafile answers option.
--providerapi PROVIDERAPI
Value for providerapi answers option.
--logtype {cockpit,color,nocolor,none}
Override the default logging output. The options are:
nocolor: we will only log to stdout; color: log to
stdout with color; cockpit: used with cockpit
integration; none: atomicapp will disable any logging.
If nothing is set and logging to file then 'nocolor'
by default. If nothing is set and logging to tty then
'color' by default.

hi @abhi1004. this works for me too. do you mind doing a couple of things before we merge:

• squash your commits down into 1, you currently have 3
• rebase onto latest master

If you need help with either of those ask us in #nulecule and we can help.

@dustymabe how about showing help on following also?
