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.
