Draw Graphs with JSON Data

Previous post dealt with sending JSON data around. Now, I need to be able to draw it. After looking for graphing libraries, I’ve settled on Chart.js and on CanvasJS. Common steps All graphs need a canvas element to function: First thing I wanted, was to get the data with AJAX. This way, my page would […]

Send JSON Graph Data from Django

Posted on February 3February 3 By laur

I’m trying to write a Django application to deal with my finances. I’ve got a nice page listing various transactions, but I thought it’d be nice to have a graph too, to see where I actually am on the spot. To do this, I’ll need two components: A JSON sender from Django A receiver and […]

Mirror a Confluence Site

Posted on October 22October 8 By laur

TL;DR: wget has a mode capable of saving cookies. The other day I thought it’d be interesting to have a local copy of a confluence wiki, to avoid hitting the internet every time I needed a howto. So, I’ve tried curl first and failed (probably my fault really). So, after a few tries, I managed […]

Jenkins Pipeline Deployment Variants

Posted on October 18October 8 By laur

This post outlined a list of steps in a pipeline. When building actual pipelines, I’ve noticed the deployment process is more than just deployment. I’ve identified several variants: orchestration deployment (e.g. helios deployment) file copy like this git update for e.g. assets repositories This might be useful if you’re building a mechanism based on a […]

Rundeck – Speeding Up Even More the Cleaning Process

Posted on October 12October 8 By laur

As I was running the script, I’ve noticed it ran very slow. I have left it for a few days to run (700K executions), I’ve noticed the speed increased linearly over time. As Rundeck has both DB and files to store its data, it looked to me that it was the file system which was […]

Delete Executions in Rundeck – Wrapping it all Up

Posted on October 9October 8 By laur

The previous posts have built the components to allow us to get projects, jobs, executions and remove executions from a Rundeck instance via its API. Now, we can just wrap them up :) The list of packages we need is:

import time
import datetime
import sys
import logging

import time

import datetime

import sys

import logging

For convenience, I’ve declared a bunch of constants we can use throughout the project: […]

Remove Executions in Rundeck

Posted on October 8 By laur

TL;DR: You have to get the executions’ list and remove the appropriate ones using hte API. Once we’ve managed to get the list of job executions, we can use the API to remove the relevant executions. The command is rather simple:

def deleteExecutions(server, port, api_key, execution_ids):
    url =  server +':'+port+'/api/12/executions/delete?ids=' + 
        ','.join(execution_ids)
    headers = {'Content-Length': '0', 'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }
    requests.post(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

def deleteExecutions(server, port, api_key, execution_ids):

url = server +':'+port+'/api/12/executions/delete?ids=' +

','.join(execution_ids)

headers = {'Content-Length': '0', 'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }

requests.post(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

This method requires: server – the Rundeck’s server address port – the port […]

Get Job Executions in Rundeck

Posted on October 2October 8 By laur

Following the previous articles, we are now in position to query job executions. The query is done via API as well. As a job can have an arbitrary number of executions, it’s advisable to use pagination. The code follows the same lines as the one in the previous entries:

# API call to get the list of the executions for a Job.
SIZE = 100
def getExecutionsForAJob(server, port, api_key, job_id, page=0, size=SIZE):
    url =  server +':'+port + \
        '/api/1/job/'+job_id + \
        '/executions?max='+('%d' % size) + \
        '&offset='+('%d' % (page * size))
    log.info(url)
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json','X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)
    return r.text.encode('utf-8')

# API call to get the list of the executions for a Job.

SIZE = 100

def getExecutionsForAJob(server, port, api_key, job_id, page=0, size=SIZE):

url = server +':'+port + \

'/api/1/job/'+job_id + \

'/executions?max='+('%d' % size) + \

'&offset='+('%d' % (page * size))

log.info(url)

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json','X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, verify=False)

return r.text.encode('utf-8')

This function builds the URL […]

Map Subdomains to Docker Containers with Synology

Posted on October 2 By laur

The other day I got fed up with having to insert diskstation.local:12345 to point towards an installed service on my NAS. I also thought that my SO has difficulties remembering all the ports (I do too) and cleaning up the browser cache doesn’t help either. So, I thought: Wouldn’t it be nicer if instead of […]

List Rundeck Jobs for a Project

Posted on September 6 By laur

Now that we Rundeck have a list of project names, we might want to see which jobs were created for each project. To do this, we need: The Rundeck instance’s address (server, port) The API key (api_key) A project’s name (project_name) First, we need to get the list of jobs for a project:

import requests

def listJobsForProject(server, port, api_key, project_mame):
    url =  server +':'+port+'/api/1/jobs'
    payload = { 'project':  project_mame }
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }
    r = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers, verify=False)
    return r.text.encode('utf-8')

import requests

def listJobsForProject(server, port, api_key, project_mame):

url = server +':'+port+'/api/1/jobs'

payload = { 'project': project_mame }

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'X-RunDeck-Auth-Token': api_key }

r = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers, verify=False)

return r.text.encode('utf-8')
