Phacility Cluster CLI Tools
This document provides an overview of the CLI tools for administrating devices in the Phacility Cluster.
Core Tools
These tools are provided by rCORE. They can be run from an administrative terminal outside of the cluster. The words "administrative terminal" mean "your laptop".
These tools are specific to the Phacility cluster and not part of the Phabricator upstream.
Commands which affect servers operate through the bastion. See Phacility Cluster Bastion.
Deployment Commands
These commands deploy or upgrade servers.
Deploying or upgrading a bastion host requires the master key.
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/remote | deploy | Deploy a new host, installing system software and rCORE on it. Then, upgrade. |
| bin/remote | upgrade | Install and upgrade application software on a deployed host. Then, restart. |
| bin/remote | restart | Restart one or more instances on an upgraded host. |
These workflows build on each other: deploy does all three steps; upgrade does the last two; restart does the least work.
deploy and upgrade apply to the entire host, and implicitly to all instances on the host. restart applies to all instances by default, but can restart a specific instance with --instance.
Operational Commands
These commands perform routine operational tasks.
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/remote | backup | Manually trigger an instance backup. |
Console Commands
These commands are like ssh and mysql, but connect through the bastion (and require the bastion to authorize the request).
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/remote | ssh | Open an administrative SSH console on a device, like connecting with ssh. |
| bin/remote | mysql | Open an administrative MySQL console on a device, like connecting with mysql. |
Bastion/Authorization Commands
These commands affect user access to the bastion, and thereby to the cluster.
Authorization must be performed with the master key.
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/remote | authorize | Authorize a user to use the bastion to perform operations work. |
Status Commands
These commands report host status.
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/remote | status | Report host status metrics. |
Internal Commands
These commands are used internally by other tools.
| Command | Workflow | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| bin/host | (All) | Local versions of bin/remote commands; what bin/remote ultimately invokes. |
| bin/bastion | (All) | Used by the bastion host to authorize and relay operational traffic. |
