Landscape API client made in Rust

An automatic update to the new version of the 'landscape-api' snap by Canonical introduced a bug that led to application crashes and disrupted my automation workflow.

To circumvent this issue, I created a small, purpose-built utility tailored to manage Landscape Script Attachments with efficiency.

Key advantages of this application include:

• Pre-built API authentication capabilities, saving you initial setup time
• Easily extendable features to meet evolving needs
• Simplified native OS packaging with cargo-deb and cargo-rpm
• Independence from Python or any other specific OS tools
• Potential to create a static release using 'musl' if required
• Can be cross compiled for Windows and probably macOS

Building

Clone the repository. Step in to the randscape-api folder, and run cargo build.

Usage

Setup the environment in the same way you would do for the landscape-api made by Canonical. You can use the template file load-env.sh for details. Load the environment variables:

source load-env.sh

Run the command:

./target/debug/randscape-api 
randscape-register 0.3.0
The landscape-api command that actually works
