Terminal

Introduction

Some of your Vito instance can be managed from the command line. These commands are run on the Vito host itself, from the project root (for example /home/vito/vito). For the Docker version, run them inside the container.

Clear Logs

Delete all server logs from the database.

php artisan logs:clear

Create User

Create a new user for your Vito instance. The role defaults to admin.

php artisan user:create [name] [email] [password] [--role=admin]

Delete older metrics

Delete older monitoring metrics from the database to keep it lean.

php artisan metrics:delete-older-metrics

Generate SSH Keys

Vito has a default public/private SSH key pair created on installation. These keys are used to connect to Custom servers to authenticate, and are then removed from the target server. You can re-generate them if needed.

php artisan ssh-key:generate {--force}

The keys are located in the storage directory.

Maintenance commands

Vito runs a number of background tasks on a schedule (for example checking server connections, collecting metrics, and renewing certificates). You normally never need to run these yourself, but it can be useful to trigger one manually, for example to force an immediate check rather than waiting for the next scheduled run.

Check server connections

Re-check the SSH connection status of all servers.

php artisan servers:check

Check for server updates

Check each server for available OS package updates.

php artisan servers:check-updates

Check pending domains

Check DNS resolution for hosted domains that are still pending, activating any that now resolve.

php artisan domains:check-pending

Sync GitHub App installations

Reconcile your local GitHub App source controls with the installations on GitHub. This is the same action as the Sync button on the GitHub App page.

php artisan github-app:sync
