Add your Packet auth token and a project name with the associated project id to the packet.json configuration file.

cat laniakea/examples/packet.json

    "auth_token": "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN",
    "projects": {
        "fuzzing": "YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
    }
}

Basic Usage Examples

Creating either on-demand (-create-demand) or spot (-create-spot) devices:

laniakea packet -project fuzzing -create-demand -tags fuzzers -count 3

Show created devices by applying a tag based filter:

laniakea packet -project fuzzing -list-devices -only tags=fuzzers

Terminate all devices, matching the filter criteria:

laniakea packet -project fuzzing -terminate -only tags=fuzzers
