DEPRECATED

This is no longer supported, please consider using IONOS Cloud SDK Ruby instead.

SDK for Ruby

Version: profitbricks-sdk-ruby v4.0.0

Table of Contents

Description

This Ruby library is a wrapper for the ProfitBricks REST API. All API operations are performed over SSL and authenticated using your ProfitBricks portal credentials. The API can be accessed within an instance running in ProfitBricks or directly over the Internet from any application that can send an HTTPS request and receive an HTTPS response.

This guide will show you how to programmatically perform common management tasks using the ProfitBricks SDK for Ruby.

Getting Started

  • ProfitBricks account

Before you begin you will need to have signed-up for a ProfitBricks account. The credentials you setup during sign-up will be used to authenticate against the API.

Installation

The official ProfitBricks Ruby library is available from the ProfitBricks GitHub account found here. You can download the latest stable version by cloning the repository and then adding the project to your solution.

Once the SDK is downloaded:

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'profitbricks-sdk-ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install profitbricks-sdk-ruby

Authenticating

Connecting to ProfitBricks is handled by first setting up your authentication credentials.

To setup your credentials you will have to provide configure and provide your username and password

ProfitBricks.configure do |config|
  config.url = 'https://api.profitbricks.com/cloudapi/v4/'
  config.username = ENV['PROFITBRICKS_USERNAME']
  config.password = ENV['PROFITBRICKS_PASSWORD']
  config.debug = false
  config.timeout = 300
  config.interval = 5
  config.depth=5
end

You can choose to read them from the environment variables like in the example above, or just provide the strting value for username and password.

Reference

This section provides details on all the available operations and the parameters they accept. Brief code snippets demonstrating usage are also included.

Data Centers

Virtual data centers (VDCs) are the foundation of the ProfitBricks platform. VDCs act as logical containers for all other objects you will be creating, e.g., servers. You can provision as many VDCs as you want. VDCs have their own private network and are logically segmented from each other to create isolation.

List Data Centers

This operation will list all currently provisioned VDCs that your account credentials provide access to.

The optional depth parameter can be set from the ProfitBricks.configure and it defines the level, one being the least and five being the most, of information returned with the response.

datacenters = ProfitBricks::Datacenter.list

Retrieve a Data Center

Use this to retrieve details about a specific VDC.

The following table describes the request arguments:

Name Required Type Description
datacenter_id yes string The ID of the VDC.
datacenter = ProfitBricks::Datacenter.get(datacenter_id)

Create a Data Center

Use this operation to create a new VDC. You can create a "simple" VDC by supplying just the required name and location parameters. This operation also has the capability of provisioning a "complex" VDC by supplying additional parameters for servers, volumes, LANs, and/or load balancers.

The following table describes the request arguments:

Name Required Type Description
name yes string The name of the data center.
location yes string The physical ProfitBricks location where the VDC will be created.
description no string A description for the data center, e.g. staging, production.
servers no collection Details about creating one or more servers. See create a server.
volumes no collection Details about creating one or more volumes. See create a volume.
lans no collection Details about creating one or more LANs. See create a lan.
loadbalancers no collection Details about creating one or more load balancers. See [create a load balancer](#create-a-load- balancer).

The following table outlines the locations currently supported:

Value Country City
us/las United States Las Vegas
us/ewr United States Newark
de/fra Germany Frankfurt
de/fkb Germany Karlsruhe

NOTES:

  • The value for name cannot contain the following characters: (@, /, , |, ‘’, ‘).
  • You cannot change the virtual data center location once it has been provisioned.

  • You will need to provide either the image or the licenceType parameters. licenceType is required, but if image is supplied, it is already set and cannot be changed. Similarly either the imagePassword or sshKeys parameters need to be supplied when creating a volume. We recommend setting a valid value for imagePassword even when using sshKeys so that it is possible to authenticate using the remote console feature of the DCD.

You can update -- in full or partially -- various attributes on the volume; however, some restrictions are in place:

You can increase the size of an existing storage volume. You cannot reduce the size of an existing storage volume. The volume size will be increased without requiring a reboot if the relevant hot plug settings have been set to true. The additional capacity is not added automatically added to any partition, therefore you will need to handle that inside the OS afterwards. Once you have increased the volume size you cannot decrease the volume size.

Update a NIC

You can update -- in full or partially -- various attributes on the NIC; however, some restrictions are in place:

The primary address of a NIC connected to a load balancer can only be changed by changing the IP of the load balancer. You can also add additional reserved, public IPs to the NIC.

The user can specify and assign private IPs manually. Valid IP addresses for private networks are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16.
