# Configuration and use of monqctl

# Installation

Installation is done on the server d-head.

  1. Download the latest MONQ Management Client from our repository:

    curl -LO https://downloads.monq.ru/tools/monqctl/`curl -s https://downloads.monq.ru/tools/monqctl/latest.txt`/linux-x64/monqctl.zip
    To download a specific version paste in the command fragment `$(curl -s https://downloads.monq.ru/tools/monqctl/latest.txt)` the needed version number.

    For example, the command to load version v1.1.0 for Linux would be:

    curl -LO https://downloads.monq.ru/tools/monqctl/v1.1.0/linux-x64/monqctl.zip

  2. Unzip the downloaded file:

    #debian based distribs
sudo apt-get install unzip
#redhat based distribs
sudo yum install unzip

unzip monqctl.zip

  3. Make the monqctl binary executable:

    chmod +x ./monqctl

  4. Move binary to a directory defined in the environment variable $PATH:

    sudo mv ./monqctl /usr/local/bin/monqctl

  5. Make sure you have the latest version of monqctl installed:

    monqctl --version

# Configuration

Getting started with monqctl requires you to configure the program context for use with a particular instance of Monq.

NOTE

When configuring monqctl you will need a token to access MONQ ReleaseHub. It must be obtained by contacting the Monq support.

Let's assume that your Monq system installation is located at the following address: monq.domain.com

  1. Add an instance of Monq to the context configuration.

    monqctl config set instance monq.domain.com --server=http://pl-microservice-registry.api.monq.domain.com

  2. Add permissions to access the Monq instance. Tokens are not used in earlier versions of the microservices registry.

    monqctl config set credential monq-user

  3. Add access to MONQ ReleaseHub to receive updates. A token for receiving updates, you can get in your personal account or from a manager.

    monqctl config set releasehub monq-release-hub --token=<token>

  4. Configure the context that binds the Monq instance, access permissions, and MONQ ReleaseHub to access updates.

    monqctl config set context monq.domain.com --instance=monq.domain.com --credential=monq-user --releasehub=monq-release-hub

  5. Set the current context of the Monq instance to work with.

    monqctl config use-context monq.domain.com
