_{Take a Glimpse at Your Cloud}

Warning

This is an experimental project that is in its early stages of development. Both the functionality and API are subject to change at any time.

It is not recommended to use this in production or any other critical environment. Use at your own risk.

clompse is a command-line tool designed to provide a unified interface to various cloud providers, helping you manage a registry of your cloud resources.

It consumes a JSON/YAML formatted configuration file that lists various profiles where each contains a number of cloud provider API credentials. It then allows you to query and list cloud resources across these providers. The output can be displayed in tabular format on the console or exported to a file in CSV or JSON format.

Currently, it supports listing cloud servers with their firewall configurations, object storage buckets, DNS zones, and records for the following cloud service providers:

1. Amazon Web Services
2. DigitalOcean
3. Hetzner

Motivation

Using cloud services has become common for many individuals and organizations. As the number of cloud resources grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of them. This tool aims to provide a unified interface to query and list commonly-used cloud resources across different cloud providers.

While there are many tools and SaaS solutions that offer similar or more advanced functionality, they are often too complex, too complicated, or too expensive for individual hackers. This tool is a more humble alternative to such solutions.

Non-Motivation

This tool is not intended to be a full-fledged cloud management tool. It is not a replacement for the cloud providers' own management consoles or APIs.

It also does not provide functionality to create, update, or delete cloud resources, nor is such functionality planned: it is a read-only interface to cloud resources.

Challenge

Not all cloud providers offer APIs that list resources as conveniently as others. Additionally, the exposed properties of similar resources may differ between providers.

To address this, the tool defines common data types for cloud resources and maps cloud provider-specific data types to these common types. It is not always possible to map all properties of a cloud resource to a common data type. In such cases, the tool will assume some (hopefully) reasonable defaults or omit such properties altogether.

Installation

Download and install the statically compiled binary for Linux (x86_64):

curl -Lo /tmp/clompse https://github.com/vst/clompse/releases/latest/download/clompse-static-linux-x86_64
sudo install -m 755 /tmp/clompse /usr/local/bin/clompse

Or install it into your nix profile (replace <VERSION> with the latest version):

nix profile install --file https://github.com/vst/hostpatrol/archive/v<VERSION>.tar.gz app

Configuration

Here is an example configuration file:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vst/clompse/main/config_schema.json

name: "Example Configuration"

cloud_profiles:
  - name: "Personal"
    connections:
      - type: "aws"
        value:

  - name: "Work - Internal"
    connections:
      - type: "aws"
        value:
          access_key_id: "AKIAIOSFODH7EXAMPLE"
          secret_access_key: "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
  - name: "Work - Client"
    connections:
      - type: "do"
        value:
          token: "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
          spaces_access_key_id: "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
          spaces_secret_access_key: "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
      - type: "hetzner"
        value:
          token: "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
      - type: "hetzner"
        value:
          token: "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
          token_dns: "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"

Development

Provision Nix shell via direnv:

direnv allow

Big, long build command for the impatient:

hpack &&
    direnv reload &&
    fourmolu -i app/ src/ test/ &&
    prettier --write . &&
    find . -iname "*.nix" -not -path "*/nix/sources.nix" -print0 | xargs --null nixpkgs-fmt &&
    hlint app/ src/ test/ &&
    cabal build -O0 &&
    cabal run -O0 clompse -- --version &&
    cabal v1-test &&
    cabal haddock -O0
