Commands

Comtrya offer several commands for use. They can be listed in the terminal by running comtrya with the help command.

comtrya help

The primary command of use will be the apply command, which will apply the actions of provided manifests to the system.

Apply

The apply command will execute and run the manifests. There are a few ways to do this.

First, point it to a directory of manifests and have comtrya execute them all.

comtrya -d ./manifests apply

As shown, this is achieved with the -d option, which tells comtrya the directory that houses the manifests to be executed.

Second, specify specific manifest(s) to be executed.

comtrya apply -m one,two,three

The -m option is used to tell comtrya the specific manifests to run. Note that the name of the manifest (i.e. one.yaml) is only the name of the manifest and does not contain any path information or file extension (.yaml). So, /manifests/one is not a valid input. So it is expected to be located in the directory of the manifests you are specifying to run.

Suppose you have a directory manifests/ that contains the manifests one.yaml and two.yaml. You want to only execute one.yaml. There are three ways to achieve this.

cd manifests/
comtrya apply -m one

Or

comtrya -d manifests/one.yaml apply

Or, the third and final way is a combination of the two.

comtrya -d manifests/ apply -m one

Contexts

The contexts command is useful to see what comtrya knows about. This can be environment variables, included variables, information about the OS, user information and other variables. Below is an exmaple of the output.
