08/28/2022, 8:45 PMDo you have any guide to run? I'm kinda lost

08/28/2022, 8:46 PMI think it's best to find out what you're doing and fix it. What did you do to get this error?

08/28/2022, 8:47 PMI am running this code
const cluster = new lib.Pool("cluster", {
type: "dir",
path: "/home/user/cluster_storage",

little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 8:48 PMHow are you running it? What command are you typing at the CLI?

brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 8:49 PMCLI? I'm not using CLI.
Do you have a guide to help me?

little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 8:50 PMAll the guides are on pulumi.com. Let's concentrate on what's going wrong. How are you starting the code? What do you do in order to get the code to run?

brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 8:52 PMmy code
cluster.tsimport * as lib from "@pulumi/libvirt";

});
console.log(cluster);l

08/28/2022, 8:52 PMHow are you running your code? What command do you type, what button do you click.. what causes the code to run?
b
brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 8:52 PMThe command to run this code is
npx ts-node ./cluser.tsl
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 8:53 PMOkay. That's the cause of this problem. You're running a node program.
Pulumi uses node, but it's not node. You need to run Pulumi.

brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 8:53 PMI didn't understand..
l
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 8:53 PMDon't type
npx ts-nodepulumi previewpulumi upThat's how you start a simple Pulumi program.

brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 8:54 PMI'll try
What is the relationship between pulumi and libvirt?
l
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 8:59 PMI don't know what libvirt is. Is it a Pulumi provider?
Ah yes, it is, I see it in your code above.
It is the binary that implements the API that Pulumi needs to interact with the cloud resources.
b
brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 9:01 PMI don't want to use Pulumi, but I want to use libvirt https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/libvirt/
l
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 9:04 PMThat's a link to Pulumi's documentation. You can't use a Pulumi plugin (libvirt) outside of Pulumi.
Pulumi runs the plugin.

08/28/2022, 9:05 PMGot it, I'll use it then

08/28/2022, 9:05 PM@brainy-forest-39638 > What is the relationship between pulumi and libvirt?
Pulumi is an infrastructure as code tool. Libvirt is an infrastructure provider
Pulumi allows you to interact with many different providers. A provider is, as I mention above, something that providers infrastructure.
You will need to use the Pulumi CLI to interact with your provider of choice.
you might consider starting with the Pulumi fundamentals course: https://www.pulumi.com/learn/pulumi-fundamentals/ which covers some of this

08/28/2022, 9:06 PMOr maybe you want to find libvirt's SDK and use that directly?
b
brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 9:06 PMIt would be great if I could find it, but I can't find it anywhere, can you help me?

08/28/2022, 9:07 PMIs this it? https://libvirt.org/

brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 9:08 PMyes
I don't find lib to connect to libvirt
l
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 9:08 PMAren't they on this page? https://libvirt.org/downloads.html
Pulumi is likely to be easier, it's designed for managing cloud resources, keeping them up to date, not updating when not necessary, etc. But if you need to run a simple command against the libvirt API, and you want to manage it yourself, then Pulumi isn't the way to do that.
b
brainy-forest-39638
08/28/2022, 9:10 PMYes, libvirt is there, but I need to use it with nodejs, and I don't know how to do it without some library
l
little-cartoon-10569
08/28/2022, 9:15 PMYes, there's no node bindings. I see a couple on npm, but they're 4 and 6 years since last publish. You could try them.. or use Pulumi. Jaxxstorm's link above is worth reading at this point, to see if Pulumi is a good fit for solving your problem.
