@Studmuffn1134 LOL at "ThePlague"... (hackers unite!)

[Studmuffn1134]

@TheNorthernLight Finally someone gets the reference But what do u think I am doing wrong

[TheNorthernLight]

@Studmuffn1134 Sadly, I dont know squat about python, sorry!

[Studmuffn1134]

@TheNorthernLight Well could you do it in a language you know and maybe i would be able to convert it>?

Did some "kicking" around in python, I don't python that much so "readers beware"

How did i figure it out, the french blog from here was useful, but only showed listing methods. I was still very confused as to how to call the vm.stop and which parameters it took.

Enter xo-cli

xo-cli uses jsonrpc but is CLi only, but you can get very nice info from it just have to register and call "list-methods". should be available on your xo VM

xo-cli register http://[yourXO].example.com [yourusername]
#after registering/authenticating
xo-cli list-commands | egrep 'vm\.' --color=always

here you will get a nice list of all "methods" in jsonrpc related to vm and a line about vm.stop:

vm.stop id=<string> [force=<boolean>] [forceShutdownDelay=<number>] [bypassBlockedOperation=<boolean>]

which was enough information to alter the french guy's (Baron) example into this:

import aiohttp
import asyncio

from jsonrpc_websocket import Server

async def routine():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as client:
        server = Server('ws://[yourXO]/api/', client)

        await server.ws_connect()

        # signIn required
        result = await server.session.signIn(username='[xoAdmin]', password='[xoAdmin]') # email attribute is working in place of username
        
        #hard shutdown
        #result = await server.vm.stop(id='3f32beeb-ab3f-a8ac-087d-fdc7ed061b58', force=(bool(1)))
        
        #clean Shutdown
        result = await server.vm.stop(id='3f32beeb-ab3f-a8ac-087d-fdc7ed061b58', force=(bool(0)))
        
        print (result)

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(routine())

[Studmuffn1134]

@Gurve Is this for the vm's on the server or the host itself i need the host itself

[Gurve]

@Studmuffn1134 Sorry, must have somehow read another reply about vm and mixed them. But pretty sure you should be able to utilise the steps I did for host shutdown

xo-cli to get relevant api endpoints, xo-cli to get parameters for said endpoint and then press play

[Studmuffn1134]

@Gurve Do i have to enable the xo-cli?

[Gurve]

@Studmuffn1134 should be available in XO vm, it was atleast for me, I just used the XO installer script from github.

I did a quick search with xo cli now

xo-cli list-commands | egrep 'host.'

in case it looks weird "\." is just to escape the "." which just tells regex I am looking for an actual "."

import aiohttp
import asyncio

from jsonrpc_websocket import Server

async def routine():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as client:
        server = Server('ws://[yourXO]/api/', client)

        await server.ws_connect()

        # signIn required
        result = await server.session.signIn(username='[yourXOusername]', password='[yourXOPassword]') # email attribute is working in place of username
        
        #hard shutdown VM
        #result = await server.vm.stop(id='3f32beeb-ab3f-a8ac-087d-fdc7ed061b58', force=(bool(1)))
        
        #clean Shutdown VM
        #result = await server.vm.stop(id='3f32beeb-ab3f-a8ac-087d-fdc7ed061b58', force=(bool(0)))

        #bypassbackup and bypassevacuate set off by default but include for wholeness of parameters
        result = await server.host.stop(id=[hostUUID],bypassBackupCheck=(bool(0)),bypassEvacuate=bool(0))
        
        print (result)

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(routine())

I just built all examples into one, here in the end is the host.stop example also

I tried that and that is the error code I get

@Studmuffn1134 I changed my link from ws:// to https:// and it now gives me this error File "Z:\Valera\School\Lakeland University\Finished\Programming 2\Python Programs\StudsPrograms.venv\Lib\site-packages\jsonrpc_base\jsonrpc.py", line 213, in parse_response
