Rewrite the CLI as a thin client over the authenticated API so agents and scripts reach every resource the UI does (ROADMAP2 phase A2). - shared Client with bearer auth, error-envelope decoding, and stable exit codes: 0 ok / 1 error / 2 auth / 3 not-found / 4 validation / 5 unreachable - named profiles in ~/.containr.yaml (current_profile + profiles.*); resolution order --flag > env > profile > localhost default; CONTAINR_TOKEN / CONTAINR_API_URL / CONTAINR_PROFILE env support - --json prints raw API responses; --yes skips confirmations; destructive commands refuse non-interactively without it - auth login verifies the token against /user/profile before saving, interactive prompt via term.ReadPassword - commands for every resource: tokens, projects, services, deploy, deployments (logs/rollback), logs --follow (SSE), exec, variables (set/unset merge with secret masking preserved), databases (backup/restore/download), cron, templates, nodes + agent tokens, scaling, ha, security, gateway, admin, notifications - containr up: git remote + branch → create-or-reuse service → deploy Verified live: login/status/tokens/projects/services, up creating a service + deployment, non-TTY confirmation refusal, scope-capped admin rejection (exit 2), revoke.

Containr CLI
The CLI controls every part of a Containr instance — the same API surface
the web UI uses. Build it with scripts/build-cli.sh or
go build ./cmd/cli from app/backend.
Authentication
Create a personal access token in the web UI under
Settings → Personal Access Tokens (or containr tokens create), then:
containr auth login cnp_... # verify + store
containr auth login cnp_... --url https://containr.example.com
containr auth login cnp_... --name production # named profile
containr auth status # show active profile + identity
containr auth logout
Resolution order for every command: --token/--api-url flags >
CONTAINR_TOKEN/CONTAINR_API_URL env > active profile >
http://localhost:8080/api/v1. The active profile is --profile >
CONTAINR_PROFILE > current_profile in ~/.containr.yaml.
Output and scripting
--jsonprints the raw API response — safe to pipe and parse.--yes/-yskips confirmation on destructive commands (delete, revoke, restore, failover). Non-interactive shells refuse destructive commands without it.- Exit codes are stable:
0ok,1error,2auth/permission,3not found,4validation,5unreachable.

up deploy the current directory
containr up
Run inside a git checkout: uses remote.origin.url + the current branch
as the build source, creates a service named after the directory when none
exists, then triggers a deployment.
containr up --project <id>
containr up --project <id> --image ghcr.io/example/app:latest # image, no build
Set project_id on the active profile to omit --project (stored in
~/.containr.yaml under profiles.<name>.project_id).
