Summary

  • add brev ports create <instance-or-node> <port> with open and add aliases
  • create raw TCP, UDP, and SSH mappings with repeatable --allow <CIDR>
  • create HTTP/HTTPS application endpoints with --public, repeatable --authorize, and --hostname
  • support managed instances and registered nodes with table output or the stable Add ports command for instances and nodes #441 JSON schema, using protocol without a separate kind

Why

PR #441 exposes existing Brev-managed mappings through brev ports ls. This stacked follow-up adds the create flows, including the same HTTP application-port creation used by the UI.

Impact

Users can expose raw services or HTTP applications from the terminal, configure source or authorization access during creation, and capture the unique port_id for automation.

Stack

Validation

  • go test -race ./pkg/cmd/ports ./pkg/cmd
  • go build -o /tmp/brev-port-restack-create-brev .
  • help smoke tests for ports, ports ls, ports create, and the ports open alias

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added brev ports create with aliases for opening TCP, UDP, SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS ports.
    • Supports instances and external nodes, JSON or table output, source restrictions, custom hostnames, and HTTP authorization settings.
    • Added validation for port numbers, protocols, hostnames, and access-control options.
  • Documentation

    • Added command reference material and examples for creating and listing ports.
    • Marked ports commands as beta.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds brev ports create for TCP, UDP, SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS ports. It supports instances and external nodes, access controls, hostname options, JSON output, validation, API requests, result rendering, tests, and documentation.

Port Creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command contract and registration
.agents/skills/brev-cli/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/brev-cli/reference/commands.md, pkg/cmd/ports/ports.go, pkg/cmd/ports/ports_test.go
The create command is registered with aliases and beta metadata. Documentation and tests cover protocols, flags, defaults, examples, and JSON output.
Input parsing and protocol routing
pkg/cmd/ports/open.go, pkg/cmd/ports/open_test.go
The command validates ports, protocols, hostnames, and protocol-specific flags. It normalizes repeated access values and routes HTTP requests separately from network requests.
Port requests and result rendering
pkg/cmd/ports/open.go, pkg/cmd/ports/open_test.go
The command creates network or HTTP ports for environments and external nodes, applies HTTP authorization defaults, handles API responses, and renders table or JSON output.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ba87c

The CLI creation flow can forward malformed access ranges and can generate an overlong hostname for some valid custom-hostname inputs, causing rejected requests or unusable endpoints. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on these bounded validation and naming risks.

Poem

A rabbit opened ports with care,
TCP and HTTP filled the air.
Flags were checked in line,
Hostnames stayed within design,
And JSON sparkled bright and fair.

310-312: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-CIDR values for --allow.

normalizeAllowedSources only trims and deduplicates values. It accepts values such as not-a-cidr and forwards them in AllowedSources, although the command contract defines --allow as a CIDR. Parse each value with net.ParseCIDR before calling Open, and add an invalid-CIDR command test. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Proposed validation
 import (
+	"net"
 	"strings"
 )

 func normalizeAllowedSources(values []string) ([]string, error) {
-	return normalizeUniqueValues(values, "allowed source")
+	normalized, err := normalizeUniqueValues(values, "allowed source")
+	if err != nil {
+		return nil, err
+	}
+	for _, value := range normalized {
+		if _, _, err := net.ParseCIDR(value); err != nil {
+			return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid allowed source %q: must be a CIDR", value)
+		}
+	}
+	return normalized, nil
 }
