A reimplementation of the Runtipi CLI in the Go programming language with some imporevements and new features.

Warning ⚠️: This project is built and maintained by volunteers. There is no guarantee of support or security when you use it. While the system is considered stable, it is still in active development and may contain bugs.

Info 🗒️: Runtipi CLI Go is written in 100% Go, if you would like to help check out the issues section or our Discord server!

Why?

We are just having fun with Nicolas learning new languages and we thing Go is a better option for our CLI.

Features

The Runtipi Go CLI has all the official Runtipi CLI features and the following ones:

• List app backups command (./runtipi-cli app list-backups)
• Healthcheck command using the worker API
• System readings from the worker API
• Backup command
• List backups command (for runtipi)
• Neofetch command (easter egg)
• Automatic backup of the CLI before update
• Increased timeout on app commands to 5 and 15 minutes (for updates) to make sure it is the same as the dashboard timeout

Installation

To install the CLI you need to follow 4 simple steps.

1. Download the latest version matching your system's arch from the releases page.
2. Put the CLI in your runtipi folder and rename it to runtipi-cli-go.
3. Make it executable chmod +x runtipi-cli-go
4. Start using it sudo ./runtipi-cli-go start

Building

To build the CLI you need to have go installed and then run these commands:

Firstly clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/runtipi/runtipi-cli-go
cd runtipi-cli-go/

Install packages:

go get .
