The Cloudron CLI tool

The Cloudron CLI tool allows you to install, configure and test apps on your Cloudron. It is also used to submit your app to the Cloudron Store. The machine subcommand can be used for various maintenance tasks on a selfhosted Cloudron.

Read the Cloudron.io documentation for in-depth information.

Installation

Installing the CLI tool requires node.js and npm. The CLI tool can be installed using the following command:

npm install -g cloudron

Depending on your setup, you may need to run this as root.

You should now be able to run the cloudron help command in a shell.

Tab completion

To add tab completion to your shell, the cloudron tool can generate it on the fly for the shell you are using. Currently tested on bash and zsh.

Just run the following in your shell

. <(cloudron completion)

This command loads the completions into your current shell. Adding it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available everywhere.

Tests

The tests can run against a Cloudron as follows:

CLOUDRON=<domain> USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<password> mocha tests/
