NervesHub has had a CLI for a long time. It is called nerves_hub_cli and for the longest time you’d add it as a dependency. But only once you found out it existed, which took me a minute…

A while back it was changed to be an escript that you could get separately from your mix project. That was a big improvement, thanks to @gus.

And thanks to various efforts by Gus and @joshknz we now have it wrapped up in a Burrito, vastly improved experience throughout the CLI and it can even be installed via Homebrew or curl.

brew install nerves-hub/tap/nh

or

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nerves-hub/nerves_hub_cli/master/install.sh | sh

You can then run this to set up your instance and then authenticate:

nh config set uri "https://manage.nervescloud.com/"
nh user auth

From there you can nh device list or nh device cert import until you are satisfied. Essentially it exposes all the typical clicking around you would do in the UI to set things up meaning NervesHub is really, really scriptable and friendly to automation.

We also have direct API integration of course. The Swagger UI is right here for NervesCloud (me and Josh’s hosted NervesHub service).

This has been available for a bit so I figured I’d give a brief update, especially since a lot of folks don’t even know there is a CLI
