UII Python API

This repository contains an implementation of a client for the Virtomize Unattended Install Images API.

Build an ISO

Building an ISO requires two steps.

1. Create a client. This requires the API token created in the UI (see below).

   import uiipythonapi as uii
   api = uii.Client("token here")

2. Building the ISO by using build on the client object.

   err = api.build("debian10.iso", "debian", "10", "x86_64", "hostnamehere", [{
           "dhcp": True,        
           "nointernet": False,
   }])

   build requires the following parameters:

   • A path to the output file
   • The name of the distribution
   • The version number of the distribution
   • The architecture of the distribution (x86_64 in most cases)
   • A configuration of the network interfaces

Register an API token

Before using this client library, you need to register an API token under your account. For this, login into the website and go to the "API-Token" tab.

There, create a new API token by clicking "Create" and give it a name. Then click save.

A new token will be created. Copy this token, as it will be hidden, once you log out. There, create a new API token by clicking "Create" and give it a name. Then click save.
