Render CLI

in progress

Anurag Goel

Render has a public REST API and SSH access. A CLI would be useful for:
* Tailing service logs
* Connecting to Private Services
* CI/CD workflows

Ed Ropple

Hey folks - just a heads-up, but this is under active development. The first release will be pretty skinny, as we've been working on getting the core building blocks right before we've pushed for features, but we hear you, and it's underway.

Alec

cli

env

variable updates would be a lovely feature. cron config too :)

Kurt Wolf

Alec: If you haven't seen it yet, my tool has a command for this: https://github.com/kurtbuilds/render

Kenneth Luplau-Brøgger

It would be awesome if the CLI could run Blueprints locally.

elvinas

Would be also amazing to have it run the application console too! E.g. Rails'

rails console

Anurag Goel

elvinas: you use can Render SSH for this! https://render.com/docs/ssh

jonathan

Anurag Goel: This is a great feature! But from the docs you link to, it looks like you still need to start off in the web dashboard, to find a value to copy and paste to use with command-line ssh. 
Compare to heroku console
, all from the terminal, you are in. 
Is there an API that could be used to automate the connect/ssh step, to get the ssh username/host?  Which could then be further automated by a CLI?  
That is a thing people may be looking for for heroku DX parity.

Michael Young

Anurag Goel agree with jonathan -- it would be nice to simply be able to type

render console -s <service-name>

and have it boot a console. same thing for tailing the logs

Kurt Wolf

I built this for my own needs, sharing it with the community here: https://github.com/kurtbuilds/render

Reid Workman

Also batch setting environment variables

What is the status on this request (even if limited to using predefined render CLI options)

aaron

Unfortunately the inability to view the elixir BEAM (via observer) or to connect to an elixir process has prevented me from running my elixir apps on Render. This is a critical blocker for any elixir app that is more than a toy.

Shantanu Joshi

aaron: you can use Render SSH for both! https://render.com/docs/ssh

Joris Kok

render elixir:observer

would be a command I would love to see.

Kevin Brown

Joris Kok: This would be a game-changer.
