deisctl

Deis Control Utility

deisctl is a command-line utility used to provision and operate a Deis cluster.

Installation

Please refer to the installation docs at http://docs.deis.io/en/latest/installing_deis/install-deisctl/.

Remote Configuration

While deisctl can be used locally on a CoreOS host, it is extremely useful as a tool for remote administration. This requires an SSH tunnel to one of your CoreOS hosts.

Test password-less SSH connectivity to a CoreOS host:

$ ssh core@172.17.8.100 hostname
deis-1

Export the DEISCTL_TUNNEL environment variable:

$ export DEISCTL_TUNNEL=172.17.8.100

Provision a Deis Platform

The deisctl install platform command will schedule all of the Deis platform units. deisctl start platform activates these units.

$ deisctl install platform

Please run `deisctl start platform` to boot up Deis.

Note that the default start command activates 1 of each component. You can scale components with deisctl scale router=3, for example. The router, the registry and the store gateway are the only component that currently scales beyond 1 unit.

You can also use the deisctl uninstall command to destroy platform units:

Done.

To uninstall a specific component, use deisctl uninstall router.

Note that uninstalling platform units will not remove the data units or underlying data containers. Data must be destroyed manually.

Usage

The deisctl tool provides a number of other commands, including:

• deisctl list - list Deis platform components
• deisctl status <component> - retrieve Systemd status of a component
• deisctl journal <component> - retrieve Systemd journal output
• deisctl start <component> - start a platform component
• deisctl stop <component> - stop a platform component
• deisctl install <component> - install a single platform component
• deisctl uninstall <component> - uninstall a single platform component
• deisctl scale <component>=<num> - scale a component to the target number of units
• deisctl refresh-units - download latest unit files
