Running from a BOSH-deployed VM

cfdot is most useful in the context of a running Diego deployment. If you use cf-deployment , cfdot is already available on the BOSH-deployed Diego VMs. To use it:

bosh ssh <DIEGO_JOB>/<INDEX>
cfdot

The cfdot pre-start script installs the setup script into /etc/profile.d. This setup script does 3 things:

• Exports environment variables to target the BBS API in the deployment.
• Puts the cfdot binary on the PATH.
• Puts a jq binary on the PATH.
