rgwadmin

Documentation Status

rgwadmin is a Python library to access the Ceph Object Storage Admin API.

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/radosgw/adminops/

API Example Usage

from rgwadmin import RGWAdmin

rgw = RGWAdmin(accesskey='XXX', secretkey='XXX', server='obj.example.com') rgw.create_user( uid='liam', display_name='Liam Monahan', email='liam@umiacs.umd.edu', user_caps='usage=read, write; users=read', max_buckets=1000) rgw.setuserquota( uid='liam', quota_type='user', maxsizekb=1024*1024, enabled=True) rgw.removeuser(uid='liam', purgedata=True)

User Example Usage

from rgwadmin import RGWAdmin, RGWUser

RGWAdmin.connect(accesskey='XXX', secretkey='XXX', server='obj.example.com') u = RGWUser.create(userid='test', displayname='Test User') u.user_quota.size = 1024 * 1024 # in bytes u.user_quota.enabled = True u.save() u.delete()

Requirements

rgwadmin requires the following Python packages:

* requests * requests-aws4auth

Additionally, you need to have a Ceph Object Storage instance with a user that has appropriate caps (capabilities) on the parts of the API that you want to access. See the Ceph Object Storage page for more information.

Version 2.3.1 was the last to support Python 2. As of version 2.4.0 we support using V4 signing for requests to the Ceph RGW Admin server only.

Compatibility

rgwadmin implements all documented Admin API operations or recent versions of Ceph. We also implement some of the undocumented ones, too...

install rgwadmin
