cozyctl CLI

[kevin880202]

Hello team, it would be great to have a CLI tool. A CLI tool could make the cozystack admin experience better, including managing Cozystack and interacting with Cozystack api. The CLI could also be integrated with Talm and talos-bootstrap. cozyctl talm and cozyctl talos-bootstrap Here are some examples:

1. cozyctl install -v 0.30 for

kubectl create ns cozy-system
kubectl apply -f cozystack-config.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack/releases/download/v0.30.0/cozystack-installer.yaml

2. cozyctl get monitoring-password -n tenant-root for

kubectl get secret -n tenant-root grafana-admin-password -o go-template='{{ printf "%s\n" (index .data "password" | base64decode) }}'

3. cozyctl gen config --bundle paas-full for generating the manifests
4. cozyctl deploy kubernetes for deploying a kubernetes through capi

I believe, talm is close to what you are talking about for deployment tasks

Talm is only for managing talos linux, not the cozystack platform. I hope there is a CLI tool for the platform itself to make some operations easier.

I love this idea, we can create a kubectl plugin an distribute it via krew

I also like this idea!

now that the Feature tag is added, can we start to work on this feature?

If so, I'd like to start the CLI work, if you are planning a sub-module or a separate repository for it, these have beeb discussed in a community meeting?
