AzBrowse

An interactive CLI for browsing azure resources, inspired by resources.azure.com

Status

This is a pet project which has matured thanks to support from awesome contributions.

Currently I'm using it every day but it is experimental so use with caution on a production environment!!

Cool what else can it do?

Lots check out the guided tour here.

• Edit/Update resource
• Multi-resource delete
• Actions on resources such as restart and list-keys
• ASCII Graphs for resource metrics
• Interactice command panel for filtering and more
• Experimental fuse filesystem mount for Azure API

For advanced config review the settings page here. For command line arguments and docs see this page.

Install

Pre-req: Ensure you have the az command from Azure CLI setup on your machine and are logged-in otherwise azbrowse won't work!

Mac (via HomeBrew)

brew install lawrencegripper/tap/azbrowse

Windows (via Scoop)

Install Scoop

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

Install AzBrowse using Scoop

scoop bucket add azbrowse https://github.com/lawrencegripper/scoop-bucket.git
scoop install azbrowse

Linux

via Snap Store

via Releases tar.gz

Grab the url to the .tar.gz for the latest release for your platform/architecture. E.g. https://github.com/lawrencegripper/azbrowse/releases/download/v1.1.193/azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Download the release (either via the browser or wget https://github.com/lawrencegripper/azbrowse/releases/download/v1.1.193/azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz).

Extract the binary from the archive to a suitable location (here we're using /usr/bin for convenience): tar -C /usr/bin -zxvf azbrowse_linux_amd64.tar.gz azbrowse

Make the binary executable: chmod +x /usr/bin/azbrowse

Install via azure-cli extention

Warning: This is experimental and Non-functional on Windows. Only tested on Unix based systems

Want to run az browse and have the azure-cli install and run azbrowse?

This extension from Noel Bundick lets you do just that

Shell completion

Azbrowse can generate shell completions for a number of different shells using the azbrowse completion command.

For example, to configure compltion in bash add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile

source <(azbrowse completion bash)

DIY

Simply download the archive/package suitable for your machine, from the release page, and execute it.

Bonus: Add it to your $PATH so you can run azbrowse anywhere.

Test out via Docker

You can then start azbrowse in docker by mounting in your $HOME directory so azbrowse can access the login details from your machine inside the docker container.

docker run -it --rm -v $HOME:/root/ -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro lawrencegripper/azbrowse
