porter invoke

Invoke a custom action on an installation

Synopsis

Invoke a custom action on an installation.

The first argument is the installation name upon which to invoke the action. This defaults to the name of the bundle.

Porter uses the docker driver as the default runtime for executing a bundle image, but an alternate driver may be supplied via ‘–driver/-d’ or the PORTER_RUNTIME_DRIVER environment variable. For example, the ‘debug’ driver may be specified, which simply logs the info given to it and then exits.

The docker driver runs the bundle container using the local Docker host. To use a remote Docker host, set the following environment variables: DOCKER_HOST (required) DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY (optional) DOCKER_CERT_PATH (optional)

porter invoke [INSTALLATION] --action ACTION [flags]
