LocalStack AWS CLI

This package provides the awslocal command, which is a thin wrapper around the aws command line interface for use with LocalStack.

Installation

You can install the awslocal command via pip:

pip install awscli-local[ver1]

Note that the command above also installs the latest version of the underlying AWS CLI version 1 (awscli) package. Use this command if you prefer to manage your own version of awscli (e.g., v1/v2) and install the wrapper script only:

pip install awscli-local

Note: Automatic installation of AWS CLI version 2 is currently not supported yet (at the time of writing there is no official pypi package for v2 available), but the awslocal command should technically also work with AWS CLI v2.

Usage

The awslocal command has the same usage as the aws command. For detailed usage, please refer to the man pages of aws help.

Example

Instead of the following command ...

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566 kinesis list-streams

... you can simply use this:

awslocal kinesis list-streams

Configurations

You can use the following environment variables for configuration:

• LOCALSTACK_HOST: Set the hostname for the localstack instance. Useful when you have localstack is bound to another interface (i.e. docker-machine).
• USE_SSL: Whether to use https endpoint URLs (required if LocalStack has been started with USE_SSL=true enabled). Defaults to false.
• DEFAULT_REGION: Set the default region. Overrides AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable.
