CLI configuration

Flags win over environment variables. Omitted flags are not serialized as defaults (argparse.SUPPRESS).

Globals

Flag Environment Role
--url EVE_IAC_URL HTTPS eve-iac-agent URL
--token EVE_IAC_TOKEN Bearer token
--ca-file EVE_IAC_CA_FILE Pinned CA certificate file
--ca-pem EVE_IAC_CA_PEM Pinned CA PEM text
--username EVE_IAC_USERNAME Login only
--password EVE_IAC_PASSWORD Login only (prefer the env var in CI)
--json SDK result JSON on stdout
--yes Confirm destroy / prune / replace / wipe
--timeout-ms Override the operation timeout

--version prints the package version (X.Y.Z).

Precedence

  1. CLI flag if present
  2. Environment variable
  3. Empty / omitted

CA: if --ca-file / EVE_IAC_CA_FILE is set, that file is read. Otherwise --ca-pem / EVE_IAC_CA_PEM. There is no TOFU and no SecretStorage.

Non-interactive login

export EVE_IAC_URL=https://eve.example:8787
export EVE_IAC_CA_FILE=./ca.pem
export EVE_IAC_USERNAME=admin
export EVE_IAC_PASSWORD
eve-iac login --json

Human login omits the token on stdout. --json emits LoginData including token. Store that token as EVE_IAC_TOKEN for later commands. Do not print tokens in CI logs.

export EVE_IAC_TOKEN
eve-iac session

Project commands take a lab directory that contains .eve-iac.yml, plus optional --lab to override eve.lab (must start with /).
