dcloud-cli

DrupalCloud CLI (dcloud)

A command-line interface for managing DrupalCloud spaces, monitoring usage, and interacting with the DrupalCloud API using personal access tokens.

Installation

npm install -g dcloud-cli

Authentication

Initial Setup

Before using the CLI, you need to authenticate with your DrupalCloud personal access token:

dcloud auth login

This will:

• Open your browser to the DrupalCloud authentication page
• Allow you to sign in and create a personal access token
• Display the token for you to copy
• Prompt you to paste the token in the CLI

Alternatively, you can use manual token entry:

dcloud auth login --manual

This will prompt you for:

• API Base URL: Your DrupalCloud instance URL (e.g., https://app.drupalcloud.com or http://localhost:3333)
• Personal Access Token: Your personal access token (format: dc_tok_...)

The CLI will verify the token and store the credentials securely in your system keychain or config directory.

Token Management

# View current authentication status
dcloud auth status

# Switch to a different token/instance
dcloud auth login --url https://staging.drupalcloud.com

# Logout (remove stored credentials)
dcloud auth logout

# Test authentication
dcloud auth test

Note: Token creation and management must be done through the web interface at /organization/tokens for security reasons.

Configuration

The CLI stores configuration in ~/.dcloud/config.json:

{
  "currentProfile": "default",
  "profiles": {
    "default": {
      "baseUrl": "https://app.drupalcloud.com",
      "tokenHash": "sha256_hash_of_token"
    },
    "staging": {
      "baseUrl": "https://staging.drupalcloud.com",
      "tokenHash": "sha256_hash_of_token"
    }
  }
}

Actual tokens are stored securely using the system keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service).

Token Management

Token management is not available through the CLI for security reasons.

To create, update, or delete tokens:

• Visit the web interface at /organization/tokens
• Sign in with your account credentials
• Use the token management interface

This ensures tokens can only be managed through secure, authenticated web sessions.

Organization Management

dcloud org info

# Get organization members
dcloud org members

# Get security settings
dcloud org security

User Management

# List organization users
dcloud users list

# Invite new user
dcloud users invite [e-mail] --role developer

# Update user role
dcloud users update 789 --role admin

# Available roles: owner, admin, developer, member

CI/CD Integration

# Create a dedicated CI token through the web interface at /organization/tokens
# Then use it in CI scripts:
export DCLOUD_TOKEN="dc_tok_..."
dcloud spaces create "PR-${PR_NUMBER}" --template drupal --type starter
SPACE_ID=$(dcloud spaces list --json | jq -r '.spaces[] | select(.name=="PR-'${PR_NUMBER}'") | .id')
dcloud spaces status $SPACE_ID

Monitoring Scripts

# Check for spaces stuck in 'creating' status
dcloud spaces list --status creating --json | jq -r '.spaces[] | select((.createdAt | fromnow) > 3600) | .name'

# Get usage alerts
dcloud usage --json | jq -r 'select(.usagePercentages.storage > 80) | "Storage usage: " + (.usagePercentages.storage | tostring) + "%"'

Error Handling

The CLI returns appropriate exit codes:

• 0: Success
• 1: General error
• 2: Authentication error
• 3: Permission error
• 4: Not found error
• 5: Validation error

Environment Variables

• DCLOUD_TOKEN: Override stored token (useful for CI/CD)
• DCLOUD_BASE_URL: Override base URL
• DCLOUD_PROFILE: Use specific profile
• DCLOUD_TIMEOUT: Request timeout in seconds
• DCLOUD_NO_COLOR: Disable colored output

Security

• Tokens are stored securely using the system keychain
• Sensitive data is never logged or displayed in plain text
• API requests use HTTPS with proper authentication headers
• Token permissions are validated on each request

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

# Token authentication failed
dcloud auth test
dcloud auth login

# API connectivity issues
dcloud health --verbose

# Permission denied
dcloud tokens list  # Check your token permissions

# Timeout errors
dcloud config set timeout 60

Debug Mode

# Enable debug output
dcloud --verbose spaces list

# Check configuration
dcloud config show

# Test token permissions
dcloud auth test --permissions

API Integration

The CLI directly uses the DrupalCloud API with these endpoints:

• GET /api/spaces - List spaces
• POST /api/spaces - Create space
• GET /api/spaces/{id} - Get space details
• PATCH /api/spaces/{id} - Update space
• DELETE /api/spaces/{id} - Delete space
• POST /api/spaces/{id}/clone - Clone space
• POST /api/spaces/{id}/archive - Archive space
• POST /api/spaces/{id}/unarchive - Unarchive space
• GET /api/usage - Get usage data
• Token management endpoints (web interface only)

Contributing

The CLI is built with:

• Node.js/TypeScript
• Commander.js for CLI framework
• Axios for HTTP requests
• Keytar for secure credential storage
• Chalk for colored output
• CLI-table3 for formatted tables
