The actuated-cli requires an access token for GitHub and is designed to be used by a user with access to the actuated dashboard.
Most of the operations on the actuated dashboard are available as CLI commands.
Download the latest release from the releases page.
Then add the URL to either .bashrc or .zshrc:
export ACTUATED_URL=https://example.com
Or, run this command in a shell before executing any of the CLI commands.
You can perform this step using GitHub's Device Flow:
actuated-cli auth
Or you can obtain a Personal Access Token (PAT) manually from https://github.com/settings/tokens
In either case, saving the token to $HOME/.actuated/PAT
will mean you can avoid having to pass in the --token
flag to each command.

Connect to the first available session from your account:
actuated-cli ssh connect
Connected to the second session in the list:
actuated-cli ssh connect 2
Connect to a specific session by hostname:
actuated-cli ssh connect runner1
Connect to a specific session with a host prefix:
actuated-cli ssh connect 6aafd
View the serial console and systemd output of the VMs launched on a specific server.
- Check for timeouts with GitHub's control-plane

- See boot-up messages
- Check for errors if the GitHub Runner binary is out of date
actuated-cli logs \
--owner actuated-samples \
--age 15m \
server1
The age is specified as a Go duration i.e. 60m
or 24h
.
You can also get the logs for a specific runner by using the --id
flag.
actuated-cli logs \
--owner actuated-samples \
--id ea5c285282620927689d90af3cfa3be2d5e2d004 \
server1
Show the logs of the actuated agent binary running on your server.
View VM launch times, etc.
actuated-cli agent-logs \
--owner actuated-samples \
--age 15m \
server1
If a job has been retried for 30 minutes, without a runner to take it, it'll be taken off the queue.
This command will re-queue all jobs that are in a "queued" state.
Run with sparingly because it will launch one VM per job queued.
actuated-cli repair \
actuated-samples
Restart the agent by sending a kill -9
signal:
actuated-cli restart \
--owner actuated-samples \
server1
Any inflight VMs will be killed, see also: actuated-cli update --force
Reboot the machine, if in an unrecoverable position:
actuated-cli restart \
--owner actuated-samples \
--reboot \
server1
Use with caution, since this may not perform a safe and clean shutdown.
Add --json
to any command to get JSON output for scripting.
API rate limits apply, so do not run the CLI within a loop or watch
command.
The --staff
flag can be added to the runners
, jobs
and the repair
commands by OpenFaaS Ltd staff to support actuated customers.
