OCI Designer Toolkit 0.11.0

OCI designer toolKIT (OKIT) is a browser based tool that allows the user to design, deploy and visualise (introspect/query) OCI environments through a graphical web based interface.

• Design

  The Web based interface will allow architects and designers to build a visual representation of their infrastructure and then export this in a number of formats.

  • svg
  • png
  • jpeg

• Generate

  Once completed the design can be enhanced to add key property information allowing the designed infrastructure to be exported to a number of DevOps frameworks.

  • Ansible
  • Terraform
  • OCI Resource Manager

  This allows for rapid proto-typing and building.

• Introspect

  OKIT will also allow the user to introspect existing OCI environments, through simple query functionality embedded within the web interface, to provide a portable generic json file, that can be used to visualise existing systems or generate terraform/ansible.

Installation

Detailed OKIT Installation steps can be found in the OCI Designer Toolkit Installation Guide.

Quick Start

The docker image is the recommended runtime server OKIT provides a simple Docker Compose script to build and start the container.

Clone Repository

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/oracle/oci-designer-toolkit.git

Create Config File

Create the OCI cli config file in the directory oci-designer-toolkit/containers/oci with contents similar to that below. The key_file is a fixed value because the contents of the oci-designer-toolkit/containers/oci will be copied to the appropriate users home directory, as ~/.oci, during the build process.

[DEFAULT]
user=ocid1.user.oc1..aaaaaaaak6z......
fingerprint=3b:7e:37:ec:a0:86:1....
key_file=~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem  
tenancy=ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaawpqblfem........
region=us-phoenix-1

Copy Key File

Copy your oci_api_key.pem to the oci-designer-toolkit/containers/oci directory.

Build and Start

cd oci-designer-toolkit/containers/docker
docker-compose up --detach

Note: For full connection to OCI you will need to follow the Installation Create Config File instruction prior to building.

Once started the Designer BUI can be accessed on http://localhost/okit/designer
