Configure CLI

To configure your CLI, you must configure your CLI with an API Key created in Nullstone.

Create API Key

Visit https://app.nullstone.io/profile and click "New API Key". Typically, the name of the API Key refers to the machine/system where the API Key is stored and used.

Run the following command to configure your CLI with the generated API Key.

nullstone configure --api-key=<api-key>

Set Default Organization

The Nullstone CLI scopes requests to Nullstone servers based on a default organization that you will configure on your machine. To configure this default organization, run the following command. The <org-name> refers to your organization's name in Nullstone that has no spaces or uppercase characters. This setting is required for most CLI commands.

nullstone set-org <org-name>

Alternatively, you can use the global --org flag to specify an organization per command.

nullstone --org=<org-name> deploy <app-name> <env-name>
