Running ccloud CLI 100% automated within a cloud setup

[miguel_sousa]

Hi!

We are working on a batch rendering application. In short, we process 3dsMax scene files, export them as .vrscenes and through command line scripts submit them to Chaos Cloud for rendering.

There's some functions for command line job submission we required for our application but weren't able to find in the documentation:

- Authentication directly through the command line, without user interaction. Using the ccloud auth command opens a browser window;
- Updating the Chaos Cloud client application through the command line, without user interaction. Sometimes, the command ccloud update also opens a browser window to download a new version of the application;

Are these functions available on the command line interface? Or any possible work arounds? Right now, we are running into problems when trying to reliably and consistently produce renderings in our automation, because we never know if ccloud will open a browser window that requires user interaction (and without updating, it seems to refuse working sometimes).

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi miguel_sousa ,

Currently there are ways how to automate these two points you are asking for via the Chaos Cloud CLI. But they might change soon. That's why I will share them with you via a Direct Message - not to cause any confusion if someone looks for them in the future.

Bests,
Vladie
