CLI Reference

DevNote think about adding some more examples/usecases? Update/assure the commands are still as are and valid.

DevNote add some more notes, descriptions. Consider generating this.

Corteza command-line interface tool allows you to quickly interact with different parts of the system — from changing the settings to assigning roles to users.

Running CLI interface via docker

If you are running a deployment via docker or docker compose, you can easily execute an already running server outside of the containers.

Docker Compose

Refer to more docker compose examples at useful Docker commands.

$ docker-compose exec <service name> ./bin/corteza-server <command>

Docker

First, find the ID of the container which is running your Corteza server in the current project directory. You can use the accrued container ID to execute CLI commands as illustrated by the following example.

The example assumes the service name is server.

$ docker ps | grep `basename $PWD | sed -e 's/\.//g'`_server
$ docker exec <container ID> ./bin/corteza-server <command>
