linode-cli allows you to manage your Linode account from your terminal.
Create, manage, and delete Linode VPSs, domain names, and more.
This repository provides the source code for the linode-cli snap which is available in the Snapcraft Store.
The snap is maintained by @FelicianoTech meanwhile the code for linode-cli itself is maintained by Linode.
The upstream repository can be found here.
linode-cli can be installed via snap on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04+, elementary OS 5, and many Linux distros with snapd installed by running:
sudo snap install linode-cli
If you don't have the snap command available, you might be able to find instructions for your distro here.
linode-cli is normally available via pip if you don't want to use Snap.
linode-cli <command> <action>
command is the part of the CLI you are interacting with, for example "linodes".
You can see a list of all available commands by using --help:
linode-cli --help
action is the action you want to perform on a given command, for example "list".
You can see a list of all available actions for a command with the --help for
that command:
linode-cli linodes --help
Some actions don't require any parameters, but many do. To see details on how
to invoke a specific action, use --help for that action:
linode-cli linodes create --help
The first time you invoke the CLI, you will be asked to configure it with a token, and optionally select some default values for "region," "image," and "type". If you configure these defaults, you may omit them as parameters to actions and the default value will be used.
This snap can be built with Snapcraft. On Ubuntu:
sudo snap install --classic snapcraft
snapcraft snap
