Web UIΒΆ

Contractor has a web UI, served from the Contractor host. Open http://<contractor ip> in a browser and log in with the root user and the password you gave setupWizard. Use the site selector to pick which Site you are looking at.

The UI is for looking at what is going on. Creating and changing things is done with contractorcli, or the CInP API Documentation for Contractor API. The UI has pages for:

  • Home / Site graph - the Sites and what is in them

  • Foundations, Structures, Complexes and Dependencies - the details of each, their state, and the compiled configuration

  • Jobs and Job Log - the running jobs, their state and progress, and the history of what has run. The page has refresh and auto refresh buttons

  • BluePrints, PXEs and their scripts - the blueprints, their configuration values and scripts

  • Networks, Address Blocks and Plots - the network and physical layout

  • Directory - the DNS zones and entries

  • Cartographer - the machines that have checked in from the bootstrap image

  • Todo - the Foundations that are still waiting to be built

For the steps in Give it a Try use contractorcli.
