Notes

Prices for current images are retrived from Joyent's public listing. There are some packages which joyent no longer lists prices for. These prices are either coppied from earlier data, or assumed based on the most similar current package. These prices are stored in /lib/old-prices.json. If prices are returned from Joyent's public listing, those results will be used rather than those in old-prices.json

All prices are for open-source servers (smartOS, Ubuntu, etc). The prices of your induvidual machines will be higher than listed for licensed servers (windows, zeus, etc).

Currently, the binary package(s) assume you will be running the commands from bash, and have the following environment variables set for the normal smartdc API:

• SDC_URL url for the Joyent API (something like https://us-sw-1.api.joyentcloud.com/)
• SDC_ACCOUNT your joyent account name
• SDC_KEY_ID the fingerprint of your SSH key

If you are upgrading from smartdc v6x, note the name change for the required ENV variables, and click visit https://npmjs.org/package/smartdc to learn how to generate your ssh fingerprint
