RACKCORP REST API EXAMPLES

PHP:

Simple server creation:

<?php


// IMPORTANT - as describe in our documentation, the Rackcorp follows the REST API standards and each function must be requested
with the correct METHOD (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). Pay attention to this detail when create your code to use CURL

function rackcorpAPI($action, $request) {

		$URL = 'https://api.rackcorp.net/api/v2.8'+$action;
        $request["APIUUID"] = "";

        $request["APISECRET"] = "";
        $request["cmd"] = $action;

        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);

Starting a server using cloud-init:

After creating a server, you can also choose to start it using cloud-init with your own custom code:

$cloudInitStartupData = Array(

        "cloudInit" => Array(

                "volumeName" => "config-2",

                "userData" => "#cloud-config

ssh_pwauth: True

users:

  - default

  - name: user1

    groups: sudo

    shell: /bin/bash

    sudo: ['ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL']

    plain_text_passwd: testtest888

    lock_passwd: false

",

                "metaData" => "instance-id: ServerTest9999

local-hostname: MyServerHostname9999

"

        )

);

$serverIDToStart = 9999;

$tx = Array ("objId"=>$serverIDToStart, "objType"=>"DEVICE", "type"=>"STARTUP", "data"=>json_encode($cloudInitStartupData));



// See earlier example for rackcorpAPI function

$response = rackcorpAPI("rctransaction.create", $tx);

var_dump($response);

?>
