CloudPanel: getting started with the clpctl command - JAY - 10-07-2026 CloudPanel comes with clpctl, a command-line tool for tasks you'd otherwise do in the browser. Run it as root. See every available command Code:Copy clpctl list This prints all commands grouped by area (sites, databases, Let's Encrypt, users, and so on). Add --help to any command to see its options, for example: Code:Copy clpctl site:add:php --help Why use it Automation: create sites, databases and certificates from scripts when setting up many servers. Recovery: reset an admin password or fix things when the web interface isn't reachable. Repeatability: the same command gives the same result every time. Before you run anything destructive Take a backup or snapshot first, and test commands on a staging server. If you've built useful clpctl scripts, share them in this thread.
