CLI

Manage Openship Cloud

Deploy and operate Cloud projects from your laptop, CI runner, or another server.

Use a Cloud token to connect directly to Openship Cloud. Remote commands need Node.js 22 or later and network access to the API; Docker and a local Openship installation are not required.

Connect and select a workspace

openship login --cloud
openship --context cloud access workspaces
openship --context cloud --organization org_123 --json project list
openship --context cloud --organization org_123 server managed list

Save the organization during login with --organization org_123, or provide it before each command. The API enforces the token's membership and resource grants. Use a self-hosted API URL and its own token in another context to manage that installation with the same project and service commands.

Deploy code or redeploy a project

openship --context cloud --organization org_123 deploy \
  --folder --name my-app --server srv_123 --watch

openship --context cloud --organization org_123 deploy \
  --project proj_123 --watch

openship --context cloud --organization org_123 service list --project proj_123
openship --context cloud --organization org_123 project server-logs proj_123 --follow

Run the first command inside the source directory. The CLI uploads it through the SDK's source staging workflow and builds on the selected server. The second command redeploys the project's saved source and works outside its checkout. Use IDs returned by the resource commands. --watch checks the final outcome and reports pending decisions or failures.

A desktop or self-hosted project can also run on a linked managed server. Connect with the local context, use server managed available, then server managed connect <cloud-server-id>, and deploy to the returned local server ID. Project records remain on that controller. To manage records stored in Cloud itself, use the direct Cloud context. An owner's Cloud link never expands a scoped token's authority.

Inspect or buy capacity

openship --context cloud billing plans
openship --context cloud billing state --server srv_123
openship --context cloud billing usage --server srv_123 --group-by day
openship --context cloud billing subscription get --server srv_123

--server resolves that exact server's billing workspace. It does not select another subscription. Use --workspace for a known retained billing workspace.

To obtain another managed server, create its entry and request a checkout for a plan from billing plans:

openship --context cloud server managed create "Production"
openship --context cloud billing subscription create <plan-id> \
  --server <new-server-id> --idempotency-key <checkout-key>

Complete payment at the returned URL. Inspect billing checkout list and billing checkout get <id> before retrying a purchase whose response was lost. Creating a checkout is not confirmation that payment or provisioning finished.

For an existing subscription, review the exact quote before confirming a capacity change:

openship --context cloud billing change preview <plan-id> \
  --server srv_123 --idempotency-key <change-key>
openship --context cloud billing change apply <quote-id> \
  --server srv_123 --confirm-restart --yes

The server validates the quoted change, current state, ownership and restart consent. Custom capacity uses billing quote and the returned resources and quoteReference. See the billing reference and managed server reference.

JSON configuration and useful operations

Complex commands accept a JSON file or - for stdin. --schema prints the current input schema without contacting the API, for example openship project options proj_123 --schema or openship migration project --schema.

Use project environment for isolated environments, project resources for runtime limits, project database and project volume for managed data, backup for recovery, monitoring for issues and updates, and github for repositories and server-side build access. Availability depends on the selected controller and provider; unsupported operations return an error without switching to another target.
