About deploying CloudPoint in a non-interactive mode
CloudPoint is distributed as a Docker image. You can use standard Docker commands to install, uninstall, or upgrade CloudPoint. During a typical installation or upgrade, the installer may display several prompts requesting for a confirmation. You have to respond to these prompts to allow the installer to proceed with the operation.
However, you can suppress these prompts and run the CloudPoint deployment in an unattended, non-interactive mode. This is particularly useful if you plan to automate the installation process using deployment scripts or a third-party application.
To run the installer in a non-interactive mode, use the following additional parameters with the installation command:
Table: Command parameters for non-interactive mode
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-y | Represents a Yes. The installer considers this as an approval and proceeds with the operation. No prompts are displayed. |
-n | Represents a No. The installer considers this as a disapproval and may even suspend or exit from the requested operation. |
For example, the following command is used to install CloudPoint:
# sudo docker run --rm -it -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:new_version install
To run the same command in an unattended mode, use the following syntax:
# sudo docker run --rm -it -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:new_version install -y
The -y option passes an approval for all the subsequent installation prompts and allows the installer to proceed in a non-interactive mode.
