powerpipe mod

Powerpipe mod management.

Mods provide an easy way to share Powerpipe pipelines. Find mods using the public registry at hub.powerpipe.io.

Usage

powerpipe mod init
powerpipe mod install [mod_path] [args]
powerpipe mod list [args]
powerpipe mod show mod_name [args]
powerpipe mod uninstall mod_name [args]
powerpipe mod update [mod_path] [args]

Sub-Commands

powerpipe mod init

Initialize the current directory with a mod.pp file.

Examples

Initialize a mod (create a mod.pp) in the current directory:

powerpipe mod init

Initialize a mod (create a mod.pp) in another directory:

powerpipe mod init --mod-location ~/my_mod

powerpipe mod install

Install one or more mods and their dependencies. In addition to downloading the mod, Powerpipe will add the mod dependency to the mod.pp file.

Powerpipe uses git to install and update mods. When you run powerpipe mod install or powerpipe mod update, Powerpipe will first try using HTTPS and if that does not work it will try SSH. If your SSH keys are configured properly for git, you should be able to pull from private repos that you have access to, as well as public ones. Alternatively, you can authenticate with a GitHUb personal access token or application token. Set the POWERPIPE_GIT_TOKEN environment variable to your token and Powerpipe will use the token when installing and updating mods.

When you install a mod, the latest version is installed by default:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights

When installing a mod, you may specify a semver constraint. The latest version that meets the constraint will be installed, and the constraint will be added to the mod.pp and honored by subsequent steampipe mod update operations.

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@1.x.x

To install from a tagged commit, append the mod repo with @ and the tag:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@mycustomtag

Note that the syntax is the same as for semver constraints, and if the tag value is a valid semver string, Powerpipe will interpret it as a semver constraint and not a literal tag name.

To install from a branch, append the mod repo with # and the branch name:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights#main

When developing mods, it can be useful to work from a local copy. To install a mod from a local filesystem path, just pass the path to the install command:

powerpipe  mod install ../steampipe-mod-aws-insights

Arguments

Update Strategy

It is also possible to have more granular control of the update behavior - e.g. when to check for new commits. The --pull argument can be used to specify the update strategy when running powerpipe update or powerpipe install:

Examples

Install the latest version of a mod:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights

Install an exact version of a mod:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@0.1.0

Install a version of a mod using a semver constraint:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@'^1'
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@1
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@1.x.x
powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@'>=0.20'

Install a mod from a GitHub tag:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights@my-tag

Install a mod from a GitHub branch:

powerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-insights#main

Install a mod from a local directory:

powerpipe  mod install ../steampipe-mod-aws-insights

Install all mods specified in the mod.pp and their dependencies:

powerpipe mod install

Preview what powerpipe mod install will do, without actually installing anything:

powerpipe mod install --dry-run

Install all missing mods specified in the mod.pp and update all their dependencies:

powerpipe mod install --pull full

powerpipe mod list

List mods from the current mod and its direct dependents.

Examples

List mods:

powerpipe mod list

List all mods in JSON format:

powerpipe mod list --output json

List mods using settings from a workspace:

powerpipe mod list --workspace my_workspace

powerpipe mod show

Show details of a mod from the current mod or its direct dependents.

Examples

Show details of a single mod in the current mod:

powerpipe mod show aws_compliance

Show details of a mod in JSON format:

powerpipe mod show aws_compliance --output json

Show details of a mod using settings from a workspace:

powerpipe mod show aws_compliance -workspace my_workspace

powerpipe mod uninstall

Uninstall a mod and its dependencies.

Arguments

Examples

Uninstall a mod:

powerpipe mod uninstall github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-azure-insights

powerpipe mod uninstall github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-gcp-insights --dry-run

powerpipe mod update

Update one or more mods and their dependencies.

Arguments

Examples

Update a mod to the latest version allowed by its current constraint:

Update all mods specified in the mod.pp and their dependencies to the latest versions that meet their constraints, and install any that are missing:

powerpipe mod update

Update all mods specified in the mod.pp and their dependencies to the latest versions that meet their constraints, and install any that are missing. Check branches and tags for both latest and accuracy:

powerpipe mod update --pull full
