Script to create rundeck job

[Dave Ruffin]

Is there a way to create a rundeck job from the command line, rest api, etc.?

Ideally i would like to script a way to create a rundeck job as opposed to using the gui to create one.

Hi Dave,

Yes you can generate a job definition as a text file and use the REST API to import it.

Here's the related doc:

• YAML format for job definitions: http://rundeck.org/docs/man5/job-yaml.html
  
• API doc for job import: http://rundeck.org/docs/api/index.html#importing-jobs
  
• CLI as alternative to API: https://rundeck.github.io/rundeck-cli/commands/ (see rd jobs load)

Over the last week or so I have been working on the following using the api

Create project

Create Jobs

Update jobs

I use bash as the scripting language

I store details about projects and job structure in json

What happens is that I loop through all the projects in my json file, and the create jobs (or update if they already exist) for that project.  So if I have 2 projects in the json file and 5 jobs, I would have 2 projects created (or not touched) and 10 jobs created or updated.  This uses the api.

The jobs define the action, for example deploy to staging for that project (project values are taken from the project json file)

What this means is that I can manage all the projects and jobs in separate file

This is still a work in progress, but I would be happy to share if you give me a few days (and would be useful)

Thanks

Grant
