Train - Transport Interface

Train lets you talk to your local or remote operating systems with a unified interface.

It allows you to:

  • execute commands via run_command
  • interact with files via file
  • identify the target operating system via os

Train supports:

  • Local execution
  • SSH
  • WinRM
  • Docker
  • Mock (for testing and debugging)

Examples

Setup

Local

require 'train'
train = Train.create('local')

SSH

require 'train'
train = Train.create('ssh',
  host: '1.2.3.4', port: 22, user: 'root', keys: '/vagrant')

WinRM

require 'train'
train = Train.create('winrm',
  host: '1.2.3.4', user: 'Administrator', password: '...', ssl: true, self_signed: true)

Docker

require 'train'
train = Train.create('docker', host: 'container_id...')

Configuration

To get a list of available options for a plugin:

puts Train.options('ssh')

This will provide all configuration options:

{
  :host     => { :required => true},
  :port     => { :default  => 22, :required => true},
  :user     => { :default  => "root", :required => true},
  :keys     => { :default  => nil},
  :password => { :default  => nil},
  ...

Usage

# start or reuse a connection
conn = train.connection

# run a command on Linux/Unix/Mac
puts conn.run_command('whoami').stdout

# get OS info
puts conn.os[:family]
puts conn.os[:release]

# access files
puts conn.file('/proc/version').content

# close the connection
conn.close
