Civo Command-Line Client
Introduction
Civo CLI is a tool to manage your Civo.com account from the terminal. The Civo web control panel has a user-friendly interface for managing your account, but in case you want to automate or run scripts on your account, or have multiple complex services, the command-line interface outlined here will be useful. This guide will cover the set-up and usage of the Civo CLI tool with examples.
STATUS: This project is currently under active development and maintenance.

Set-up
Civo CLI is built with Go and distributed as binary files, available for multiple operating systems and downloadable from https://github.com/civo/cli/releases.
Installing on macOS
If you have a Mac, you can install it using Homebrew:
brew tap civo/tools
brew install civoor if you prefer you can run this in the console:
curl -sL https://civo.com/get | shInstalling on Windows
Civo CLI is available to download on windows via Chocolatey and Scoop
For installing via Chocolatey you need Chocolatey package manager installed on your PC.
- run the following command after confirming Chocolatey on your PC
choco install civo-cli
and it will install Civo CLI on your PC.
For installing via Scoop you need Scoop installed as a package manager, then:
- add the extras bucket with
scoop bucket add extras
- install civo with
scoop install civo
You will also, of course, need a Civo account, for which you can register here.
Installing on Linux
For Linux Civo CLI can be installed by various methods.
- Install via the direct shell script:
curl -sL https://civo.com/get | sh-
Install via the brew package manager, as shown in the above instructions for MacOS.
-
Install via wget, specifying the release version you want.
Note that the version in the example below may not be the latest. Specify the version based on the latest available if you are using this method.
wget https://github.com/civo/cli/releases/download/v1.0.40/civo-1.0.40-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf civo-1.0.40-linux-amd64.tar.gz
chmod +x civo
mv ./civo /usr/local/bin/
- You can also build the binary, but make sure you have go installed,
git clone https://github.com/civo/cli.git
cd cli
make
cd ..
cp -r cli $HOME
export PATH="$HOME/cli:$PATH"With this, we have installed the Civo CLI successfully. Check it is working by running any of the following commands.
Note: For the first time when you are running, make sure you set your current region. Check Region for more information.
Running the Civo CLI tool and getting help
To use the tool, simply run civo with your chosen options. You can find context-sensitive help for commands and their options by invoking the help or -h command:
civo help,
civo instance help,
civo instance create help
and so on. The main components of Civo CLI are outlined in the following sections.
Version/Updating CLI
Every user receives a reminder to update the CLI once in 24 hours as well as notified to update the CLI version in case of any error. Run civo update to update the CLI to the latest version.
Docker Usage
Civo's CLI utility can also run within a Docker container, if you prefer to keep your base OS clean.
To run, you generally will want to map the API key for persistence.
touch $HOME/.civo.json
docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.civo.json:/.civo.json civo/cli:latestYou can also use the Kubernetes options of the CLI. Kubectl is included inside our image, to use it you just need to mount the configuration in the container.
touch $HOME/.civo.json
mkdir $HOME/.kube/
touch $HOME/.kube/config
docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.civo.json:/.civo.json -v $HOME/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config civo/cli:latestTo make usage easier, an alias is recommended. Here's an example how to set one to the same command as would be used if installed directly on the system, and using the Docker image:
Ubuntu etc:
alias civo="docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.civo.json:/.civo.json civo/cli:latest"
# Maybe put the above line in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc
civo sshkey list
civo instance list
civo instance create --size g2.xsmall
civo k8s listFor Fedora users:
alias civo="docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.civo.json:/.civo.json:Z -v $HOME/.kube/config:$HOME/.kube/config:Z civo/cli:latest"Here's an example how to set an alias and get started with Kubernetes.
alias civo="docker run -it --rm -v $HOME/.civo.json:/.civo.json -v $HOME/.kube/config:$HOME/.kube/config civo/cli:latest"
# Maybe put the above line in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc
civo sshkey list
civo instance list
civo instance create --size g2.xsmall
civo k8s listGlobal Options
The civo cli have multiple global options, that you can use, like this:
--config string config file (default is $HOME/.civo.json)
-f, --fields string output fields for custom format output (use -h to determine fields)
-h, --help help for civo
-o, --output string output format (json/human/custom) (default "human")
--pretty Print pretty the json output
--region string Choose the region to connect to, if you use this option it will use it over the default region
-y, --yes Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactive
API Keys
Introduction
In order to use the command-line tool, you will need to authenticate yourself to the Civo API using a special key. You can find an automatically-generated API key or regenerate a new key at https://www.civo.com/api. The CLI have a global env variable call CIVO_TOKEN if this is set, the CLI will use this token instead of the one in the config file. This is useful for scripting situations or CI/CD pipelines. When you set the CIVO_TOKEN you will see a new apikey entry with the name tempKey in the civo apikey list command.
Adding a current API Key to your account
You can add the API Key to the CLI tool through the API Keys command.
civo apikey add apikey_name apikey such as:
$ civo apikey add Demo_Test_Key DAb75oyqVeaE7BI6Aa74FaRSP0E2tMZXkDWLC9wNQdcpGfH51r
Saved the API Key Demo_Test_Key as DAb75oyqVeaE7BI6Aa74FaRSP0E2tMZXkDWLC9wNQdcpGfH51rAs you can have multiple API keys stored to handle multiple accounts, you will need to tell which key the tool should use to authenticate with civo apikey current [apikey_name]. This sets your chosen API key as the default key to use for any subsequent commands:
$ civo apikey current Demo_Test_Key
Set the default API Key to be Demo_Test_KeyBy default, the Civo account credentials API Key along with other settings like region will be saved in a file called .civo.json in the user home directory. The default location of the file can be changed using the environment variable CIVO_CONFIG.
Managing and listing API keys
You can list all stored API keys in your configuration by invoking civo apikey list or remove one by name by using civo apikey remove apikey_name.
To see the secret key you can use civo apikey show which will show only the default key, to see others just use civo apikey show NAME
civo apikey list

Introduction
An instance is a virtual server running on the Civo cloud platform. They can be of variable size and you can run any number of them up to your quota on your account.
Creating an instance
You can create an instance by running civo instance create with a hostname parameter, as well as any options you provide:
Options:
-t, --diskimage string the instance's disk image name (from 'civo diskimage ls' command)
-l, --firewall string the instance's firewall you can use the Name or the ID
-h, --help help for create
-s, --hostname string the instance's hostname
-u, --initialuser string the instance's initial user
-r, --network string the instance's network you can use the Name or the ID
-p, --publicip string This should be either "none" or "create" (default "create")
-i, --size string the instance's size (from 'civo instance size' command)
-k, --sshkey string the instance's ssh key you can use the Name or the ID
-g, --tags string the instance's tags
-w, --wait wait until the instance's is ready
Example usage:
$ civo instance create --hostname=api-demo.test --size g3.small --diskimage=ubuntu-focal --initialuser=demo-user
The instance api-demo.test has been created

Viewing the Default User Password For an Instance
You can view the default user's password for an instance by running civo instance password ID/hostname
$ civo instance password api-demo.test
The instance api-demo.test (112f2407-fb89-443e-bd0e-5ddabc4682c6) has the password BrbXNW2RUYLe (and user demo-user)You can also run this command with the option -o and -f to get only the password output, useful for scripting situations:
$ civo instance password api-demo.test -o custom -f Password
BrbXNW2RUYLeViewing Instance Public IP Address
If an instance has a public IP address configured, you can display it using civo instance public-ip ID/hostname:
$ civo instance show api-demo.test -o custom -f public_ip
74.220.21.246The above example uses -o and -f to display only the IP address in the output.
Setting Firewalls
Instances can make use of separately-configured firewalls. By default, an instance is created with default all port open firewall rules set. If you want to secure your instances more, so you will need to configure some rules (see Firewalls for more information). Once you have configured the rules you can check it by running civo firewall ls
$ civo firewall ls
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+---------+-------------+-----------------+
| ID | Name | Network | Total rules | Total Instances |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+---------+-------------+-----------------+
| c9e14ae8-b8eb-4bae-a687-9da4637233da | Default (all open) | Default | 3 | 0 |
| f79db64d-41f0-4be0-ae80-ce4499164319 | Kubernetes cluster: Demo | Default | 2 | 0 |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+---------+-------------+-----------------+You can take the firewall ID and use it to associate a firewall with an instance, use the command civo instance firewall ID/hostname firewall_id. For example:
$ civo instance firewall api-demo.test f79db64d-41f0-4be0-ae80-ce4499164319
Set the firewall for the instance api-demo.test (112f2407-fb89-443e-bd0e-5ddabc4682c6) to Kubernetes cluster: Demo (f79db64d-41f0-4be0-ae80-ce4499164319)Listing Instances
You can list all instances associated with a particular API key by running civo instance list.
Listing Instances sizes
You can list all instances sizes by running civo instance size.
Rebooting/Restarting Instances
A user can reboot an instance at any time, for example to fix a crashed piece of software. Simply run civo instance reboot instanceID/hostname. You will see a confirmation message:
$ civo instance reboot api-demo.test
Rebooting api-demo.test. Use 'civo instance show api-demo.test' to see the current status.If you prefer a hard reboot, you can run civo instance hard-reboot instanceID/hostname instead.
Removing Instances
You can use a command to remove an instance from your account. This is immediate, so use with caution! Any snapshots taken of the instance, as well as any mapped storage, will remain.
Usage: civo instance remove instanceID/hostname. For example:
$ civo instance remove api-demo.test
The instance (api-demo.test) has been deletedStopping (Shutting Down) and Starting Instances
You can shut down an instance at any time by running civo instance stop instanceID/hostname:
$ civo instance stop api-demo.test
Stopping api-demo.test. Use 'civo instance show api-demo.test' to see the current status.Any shut-down instance on your account can be powered back up with civo instance start instanceID/hostname:
$ civo instance start api-demo.test
Starting api-demo.test. Use 'civo instance show api-demo.test' to see the current status.(Re)Tagging an Instance
Tags can be useful in distinguishing and managing your instances. You can retag an instance using civo instance tags instanceID/hostname 'tag1 tag2 tag3...' as follows:
$ civo instance tags api-demo.test 'ubuntu demo'
The instance api-demo.test (b5f82fa7-b8e4-44aa-9dda-df02dab71d6c) has been tagged with ubuntu demo. Use 'civo instance show api-demo.test' to see the current tags.'
$ civo instance show api-demo.test

Create a cluster
You can create a cluster by running civo kubernetes create with a cluster name parameter, as well as any options you provide:
-a, --applications string optional, use names shown by running 'civo kubernetes applications ls'
-p, --cni-plugin string optional, possible options: flannel,cilium. (default "flannel")
-c, --create-firewall optional, create a firewall for the cluster with all open ports
-e, --existing-firewall string optional, ID of existing firewall to use
-u, --firewall-rules string optional, can be used if the --create-firewall flag is set, semicolon-separated list of ports to open (default "default")
-h, --help help for create
-m, --merge merge the config with existing kubeconfig if it already exists.
-t, --network string the name of the network to use in the creation (default "default")
-n, --nodes int the number of nodes to create (the master also acts as a node). (default 3)
-r, --remove-applications string optional, remove default application names shown by running 'civo kubernetes applications ls'
--save save the config
-s, --size string the size of nodes to create. (default "g4s.kube.medium")
--switch switch context to newly-created cluster
-v, --version string the k3s version to use on the cluster. Defaults to the latest. Example - 'civo k3s create --version 1.21.2+k3s1' (default "latest")
-w, --wait a simple flag (e.g. --wait) that will cause the CLI to spin and wait for the cluster to be ACTIVENote
- The '--create-firewall' will open the ports 80,443 and 6443 in the firewall if '--firewall-rules' is not used.
- The '--create-firewall' and '--existing-firewall' flags are mutually exclusive. You can't use them together.
- The '--firewall-rules' flag need to be used with '--create-firewall'.
- The '--firewall-rules' flag can accept:
- You can pass 'all' to open all ports.
- An optional end port using 'start_port-end_port' format (e.g. 8000-8100)
- An optional CIDR notation (e.g. 0.0.0.0/0)
- When no CIDR notation is provided, the port will get 0.0.0.0/0 (open to public) as default CIDR notation
- When a CIDR notation is provided without slash and number segment, it will default to /32
- Within a rule, you can use comma separator for multiple ports to have same CIDR notation
- To separate between rules, you can use semicolon symbol and wrap everything in double quotes (see below) So the following would all be valid:
- "80,443,6443:0.0.0.0/0;8080:1.2.3.4" (open 80,443,6443 to public and 8080 just for 1.2.3.4/32)
- "80,443,6443;6000-6500:4.4.4.4/24" (open 80,443,6443 to public and 6000 to 6500 just for 4.4.4.4/24)
$ civo kubernetes create my-first-cluster
Created Kubernetes cluster my-first-clusterAdding pools the cluster
You can add more pools to your cluster live (obviously 1 is the minimum) while the cluster is running. It takes the name of the cluster (or the ID), the parameter of --nodes which is the new number of nodes to run and --size which is the size of the pool,
if --node and --size are not specified, the default values will be used.
civo kubernetes node-pool create my-first-cluster
The pool (8064c7) was added to the cluster (my-first-cluster)Scaling pools in the cluster
You can scale a pool in your cluster, while the cluster is running. It takes the name of the cluster (or the ID), the pool ID (at least 6 characters), and --nodes which is the new number of nodes in the pool. You can get the pool ID details form civo k3s show my-first-cluster
civo kubernetes node-pool scale my-first-cluster pool-id --nodes 5Deleting pools in the cluster
You can delete a pool in your cluster. It takes the name of the cluster (or the ID) and the pool ID (at least 6 characters)
civo kubernetes node-pool delete my-first-cluster pool-idRecycling nodes in your cluster
If you need to recycle a particular node in your cluster for any reason, you can use the recycle command. This requires the name or ID of the cluster, and the name of the node you wish to recycle preceded by --node=:
$ civo k8s recycle my-first-cluster --node=k3s-my-first-cluster-5ae1561e-node-pool-a56f
The node (k3s-my-first-cluster-5ae1561e-node-pool-a56f) was recycledNote: When a node is recycled, it is fully deleted. The recycle command does not drain a node, it simply deletes it before building a new node and attaching it to a cluster. It is intended for scenarios where the node itself develops an issue and must be replaced with a new one.
Viewing or Saving the cluster configuration
To output a cluster's configuration information, you can invoke civo kubernetes config cluster-name. This will output the kubeconfig file to the screen.
You can save a cluster's configuration to your local ~/.kube/config file. This requires kubectl to be installed. Usage:
civo kubernetes config my-first-cluster -s
Saved config to ~/.kube/configIf you already have a ~/.kube/config file, any cluster configuration that is saved will be overwritten unless you also pass the --merge option. If you have multiple cluster configurations, merging allows you to switch contexts at will. If you prefer to save the configuration in another place, just use the parameter --local-path or -p and the path. If you use --switch the cli will automatically change the kubernetes context to the new cluster.
civo kubernetes config my-first-cluster -s --merge
Merged with main kubernetes config: /root/.kube/config
Saved configuration to: /root/.kube/config
Access your cluster with:
kubectl config use-context my-first-cluster
kubectl get nodeRenaming the cluster
Although the name isn't used anywhere except for in the list of clusters (e.g. it's not in any way written in to the cluster), if you wish to rename a cluster you can do so with:
civo kubernetes rename my-first-cluster --name="Production"
Kubernetes cluster my-first-cluster is now named ProductionStarting a cluster without default applications
By default, Traefik is bundled in with k3s. If you want to set up a cluster without Traefik, you can use the remove-applications option in the creation command to start a cluster without it:
civo kubernetes create --remove-applications=Traefik-v2-nodeport --nodes=2 --waitThe command uses the application name as displayed by running civo kubernetes applications ls.
Removing the cluster
If you're completely finished with a cluster you can delete it with:
civo kubernetes remove my-first-clusterKubernetes Applications
Introduction
You can install applications from the Applications Marketplace through the command-line interface. The installation depends on whether you are creating a new cluster or adding applications to an existing cluster.
Listing Available Applications
To get an up-to-date list of available applications on the Marketplace, run civo kubernetes apps list. At the time of writing, the list looked like this:

Show Applications details when is installed in the cluster
This option will be allow you to see the post-install instruction of every app installed in the cluster
civo kubernetes application show Traefik apps-demo-clusterthe first parameter is for the name of the app and the second is the name of the cluster
Installing Applications Onto a New Cluster
To specify applications to install onto a new cluster, list them at cluster creation by specifying their name from the list above:
civo kubernetes create apps-demo-cluster --nodes=2 --applications=Redis,LinkerdNow, if you take a look at the cluster's details, you will see the newly-installed applications listed:
$ civo kubernetes show apps-demo

| Traefik | (default) | Yes | architecture |
| Linkerd | 2.5.0 | Yes | architecture |
| Redis | 3.2 | Yes | database |
+---------+-----------+-----------+--------------+Note: Applications like metrics-server are installed by default on any new cluster you create. If you don't need to install the default applications, use the --remove-applications flag as below:
civo kubernetes create apps-demo-cluster --nodes=2 --applications=Redis,Linkerd --remove-applications=metrics-serverInstalling Applications to an Existing Cluster
If you want to add a new application to an existing cluster, you can do so by running the civo applications command specifying the cluster and the app(s) you wish to add:
$ civo kubernetes applications add Longhorn --cluster=apps-demo
Added Longhorn 0.5.0 to Kubernetes cluster apps-demo-clusterInstalling Applications That Require Plans
Some applications, specifically database apps, require a storage plan that you can specify at installation time from the list of plan options. If you do not provide a plan for an application that requires one, the CLI will notify you and suggest a default size:
$ civo kubernetes applications add mariadb --cluster=apps-demo
You requested to add MariaDB but didn't select a plan. Please choose one... (5GB, 10GB, 20GB) [5GB]: 10GB
Thank you, next time you could use "MariaDB:10GB" to choose automatically
Added MariaDB 10.4.7 to Kubernetes cluster apps-demo-clusterDomains and Domain Records
Introduction
We host reverse DNS for all instances automatically. If you'd like to manage forward (normal) DNS for your domains, you can do that for free within your account.
This section is effectively split in to two parts: 1) Managing domain names themselves, and 2) Managing records within those domain names.
We don't offer registration of domains names, this is purely for hosting the DNS. If you're looking to buy a domain name, we recommend LCN.com for their excellent friendly support and very competitive prices.
Set Up a New Domain
Any user can add a domain name (that has been registered elsewhere) to be managed by Civo.com. You should adjust the nameservers of your domain (through your registrar) to point to ns0.civo.com and ns1.civo.com.
The command to set up a new domain is civo domain create domainname:
$ civo domain create civoclidemo.xyz
Created a domain called civoclidemo.xyz with ID 418181b2-fcd2-46a2-ba7f-c843c331e79bYou can then proceed to add DNS records to this domain.
List Domain Names
To see your created domains, call civo domain list:
$ civo domain list
+--------------------------------------+-----------------+
| ID | Name |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------+
| 418181b2-fcd2-46a2-ba7f-c843c331e79b | civoclidemo.xyz |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------+Deleting a Domain
If you choose to delete a domain, you can call civo domain remove domain_id and have the system immediately remove the domain and any associated DNS records. This removal is immediate, so use with caution.
Creating a DNS Record
A DNS record creation command takes a number of options in the format civo domain record create domain_id [options] and the options are this.
Options:
-n, --name string the name of the record
-p, --priority int the priority of record only for MX record
-t, --ttl int The TTL of the record (default 600)
-e, --type string type of the record (A, CNAME, TXT, SRV, MX)
-v, --value string the value of the record
Usage is as follows:
$ civo domain record create civoclidemo.xyz -n www -t 600 -e A -v 192.168.1.1
Created a record www1 for civoclidemo.xyz with a TTL of 600 seconds and with a priority of 0 with ID 4e181dde-bde8-4744-8984-067f957a7d59Listing DNS Records
You can get an overview of all records you have created for a particular domain by requesting civo domain record list domain.name:
$ civo domain record list civoclidemo.xyz
+--------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-------------+------+----------+
| ID | Type | Name | Value | TTL | Priority |
+--------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-------------+------+----------+
| 4e181dde-bde8-4744-8984-067f957a7d59 | A | www.civoclidemo.xyz | 192.168.1.1 | 1000 | 0 |
+--------------------------------------+------+---------------------+-------------+------+----------+Deleting a DNS Record
You can remove a particular DNS record from a domain you own by requesting civo domain record remove record_id. This immediately removes the associated record, so use with caution:
$ civo domain record remove 4e181dde-bde8-4744-8984-067f957a7d59
The domain record called www with ID 4e181dde-bde8-4744-8984-067f957a7d59 was deletedFirewalls
Introduction
You can configure custom firewall rules for your instances using the Firewall component of Civo CLI. These are freely configurable, however customers should be careful to not lock out their own access to their instances. By default, all ports are closed for custom firewalls.
Firewalls can be configured with rules, and they can be made to apply to your chosen instance(s) with subsequent commands.
Configuring a New Firewall
To create a new Firewall, use civo firewall create new_firewall_name:
$ civo firewall create civocli_demo
Created a firewall called civocli_demo with ID ab2a25d7-edd4-4ecd-95c4-58cb6bc402deYou can also create a firewall without any default rules by using the flag -r or --create-rules set to false. In both cases, the usage is like:
civo firewall create new_firewall_name --create-rules=false
You will then be able to configure rules that allow connections to and from your instance by adding a new rule using civo firewall rule create firewall_id with the required and your choice of optional parameters, listed here and used in an example below:
Options:
-a, --action string the action of the rule can be allow or deny (default is allow) (default "allow")
-c, --cidr string the CIDR of the rule you can use (e.g. -c 10.10.10.1/32,148.2.6.120/32) (default "0.0.0.0/0")
-d, --direction string the direction of the rule can be ingress or egress (default is ingress) (default "ingress")
-e, --endport string the end port of the rule
-h, --help help for create
-l, --label string a string that will be the displayed as the name/reference for this rule
-p, --protocol string the protocol choice (TCP, UDP, ICMP) (default "TCP")
-s, --startport string the start port of the rule
Example usage:
$ civo firewall rule create civocli_demo --startport=22 --direction=ingress --label='SSH access for CLI demo' -a allow
New rule SSH access for CLI demo created
$ civo firewall rule list civocli_demo
+--------------------------------------+-----------+----------+------------+----------+--------+-----------+-------------------------+
| ID | Direction | Protocol | Start Port | End Port | Action | Cidr | Label |
+--------------------------------------+-----------+----------+------------+----------+--------+-----------+-------------------------+
| 74fff0d7-0ba4-497b-bbc1-83179b4e3b23 | ingress | tcp | 22 | 22 | allow | 0.0.0.0/0 | SSH access for CLI demo |
+--------------------------------------+-----------+----------+------------+----------+-----------+----------------------------------+You can see all active rules for a particular firewall by calling civo firewall rule ls firewall_id, where firewall_id is the UUID of your particular firewall.
Managing Firewalls
You can see an overview of your firewalls using civo firewall list showing you which firewalls have been configured with rules, and whether any of your instances are using a given firewall, such as in this case where the firewall we have just configured has the one rule, but no instances using it.
$ civo firewall list
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+---------+-------------+-----------------+----------------+--------------------+
| ID | Name | Network | Total rules | Total Instances | Total Clusters | Total LoadBalancer |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+---------+-------------+-----------------+----------------+--------------------+
| 3ac0681d-2f71-4921-ae20-019272d9248b | Default (all open) | Default | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+--------------------+To configure an instance to use a particular firewall, see Instances/Setting firewalls elsewhere in this guide.
To get more detail about the specific rule(s) of a particular firewall, you can use civo firewall rule list firewall_id.
Deleting Firewall Rules and Firewalls
You can remove a firewall rule simply by calling civo firewall rule remove firewall_id rule_id - confirming the Firewall ID to delete a particular rule from - as follows:
$ civo firewall rule remove 09f8d85b-0cf1-4dcf-a472-ba247fb4be21 4070f87b-e6c6-4208-91c5-fc4bc72c1587
Removed Firewall rule 4070f87b-e6c6-4208-91c5-fc4bc72c1587
$ civo firewall rule list 09f8d85b-0cf1-4dcf-a472-ba247fb4be21Similarly, you can delete a firewall itself by calling civo firewall remove firewall_id:
$ civo firewall remove 09f8d85b-0cf1-4dcf-a472-ba247fb4be21
Removed firewall 09f8d85b-0cf1-4dcf-a472-ba247fb4be21
$ civo firewall listNetworks
Introduction
Civo allows for true private networking if you want to isolate instances from each other. For example, you could set up three instances, keeping one as a and load balancer, with instances acting as e.g. a database server and a separate application server, both with private IPs only.
Viewing Networks
You can list your currently-configured networks by calling civo network list. This will show the network ID, name label and its CIDR range.
Creating Networks
You can create a new private network using civo network create network_label:
$ civo network create cli-demo
Create a private network called cli-demo with ID 74b69006-ea59-46a0-96c4-63f5bfa290e1Listing Networks
To list all the networks you can run civo network ls
$ civo network ls
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+---------+
| ID | Label | Region | Default |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+---------+
| 28244c7d-b1b9-48cf-9727-aebb3493aaac | Default | LON1 | true |
| fa21edfa-c089-421c-8008-0c0c7784386a | test | LON1 | false |
| 35ec87e7-fbd2-4ee8-849a-f88d7363e23f | cli-demo | LON1 | false |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------+---------+Removing Networks
Removal of a network, provided you do not need it and your applications do not depend on routing through it, is simple - you call civo network remove network_ID:
$ civo network remove 74b69006-ea59-46a0-96c4-63f5bfa290e1
Removed the network cli-demo with ID 74b69006-ea59-46a0-96c4-63f5bfa290e1Object Stores
Introduction
Object stores are S3-compatible data storage structures on Civo. Through creating object stores in your account, you can manage unstructured data within the size limits of each object store and subject to your quota.
Listing Object Stores
You can run civo objectstore ls to get the list of all object stores in your account.
$ civo objectstore ls
+--------+----------+------+---------------------------+--------+
| ID | Name | Size | Object Store Endpoint | Status |
+--------+----------+------+---------------------------+--------+
| 699e42 | cli-demo | 500 | objectstore.lon1.civo.com | ready |
| 083e59 | test | 500 | objectstore.lon1.civo.com | ready |
+--------+----------+------+---------------------------+--------+Creating Object Stores
You can create an object store by running civo objectstore create with an object store name parameter. You can also specify the size by using the --size flag. If you don't specify the size, it will be set to 500GB by default. If you do not specify a --region flag, the object store will be created in your currently-active region.
$ civo objectstore create cli-demo
Creating Object Store cli-demo in LON1
To check the status of the Object Store run: civo objectstore show cli-demoUpdating Object Stores
Provided you have room in your Civo quota, you can update the size of an object store by running civo objectstore update with the object store name and the new size.
$ civo objectstore update cli-demo --size=1000
The Object Store with ID 699e42a7-918b-42f7-ac22-fb9869e835ad was updated to size: 1000 GBDeleting Object Stores
You can delete an object store by running civo objectstore delete with the object store name.
$ civo objectstore delete cli-demo
Warning: Are you sure you want to delete the cli-demo Object Store (y/N) ? y
The Object Store (cli-demo) has been deletedObject Store Credentials
Introduction
Access to object stores is controlled by credentials management. When a new object store is created, a default administrative set of credentials is created with it. You can create other credentials for object stores you create, and export credential information for use in applications.
Listing Object Store Credentials
You can run civo objectstore credential ls to get the list of all object store credentials in your account.
$ civo objectstore credential ls
+----------------------+----------------------+--------+
| Name | Access Key | Status |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------+
| cli-demo-xazd-7de9b2 | 3W-X-Y-X-Y-X-Y-X-Y-X | ready |
| cli-demo-fa5d-fe8d50 | QW-X-Y-X-Y-X-Y-X-Y-N | ready |
+----------------------+----------------------+--------+Creating Object Store Credentials
You can create an object store credential by running civo objectstore credential create with a credential name parameter. You can also specify an access key and a secret access key with ----access-key and --secret-key flags respectively. If no flag is provided, we'll generate both the keys for you.
$ civo objectstore credential create cli-demo-credential --access-key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY --secret-key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Creating Object Store Credential cli-demo-credential in LON1Exporting Credentials
You can export the credentials by running civo objectstore credential export with the access key for your credential. We support export in 2 formats - env and s3cfg. For more information on credential export formats, refer to the help text found at civo objectstore credential export --help.
If no --format flag is passed, we export it to env by default.
$ civo objectstore credential export --access-key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
# Tip: You can redirect output with (>> ~/.zshrc) to add these to Zsh's startup automatically
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=LON1
export AWS_HOST=https://objectstore.lon1.civo.comDeleting Object Store Credentials
You can delete an object store credential by running civo objectstore credential delete with the credential name as a parameter.
$ civo objectstore credential delete cli-demo-fa5d-7de9b2
Warning: Are you sure you want to delete the cli-demo-fa5d-7de9b2 Object Store Credential (y/N) ? y
The Object Store Credential (cli-demo-fa5d-7de9b2) has been deletedQuota
All customers joining Civo will have a default quota applied to their account. The quota has nothing to do with charges or payments, but with the limits on the amount of simultaneous resources you can use. You can view the state of your quota at any time by running civo quota show. Here is my current quota usage at the time of writing:
$ civo quota show
+------------------+-------+-------+
| Item | Usage | Limit |
+------------------+-------+-------+
| Instances | 4 | 16 |
| CPU cores | 5 | 16 |
| RAM MB | 7168 | 32768 |
| Disk GB | 150 | 400 |
| Volumes | 4 | 16 |
| Snapshots | 1 | 48 |
| Public IPs | 4 | 16 |
| Subnets | 1 | 10 |
| Private networks | 1 | 10 |
| Firewalls | 1 | 16 |
| Firewall rules | 1 | 160 |
+------------------+-------+-------+
Any items in red are at least 80% of your limitIf you have a legitimate need for a quota increase, visit the Quota page to place your request - we won't unreasonably withhold any increase, it's just in place so we can control the rate of growth of our platform and so that errand scripts using our API don't suddenly exhaust our available resources.
Sizes
Civo instances come in a variety of sizes depending on your need and budget. You can get details of the sizes of instances available by calling civo sizes list. You will get something along the lines of the following, the result will be depends or your selected region:

+--------------------+--------------------------------+------------+-----+---------+-----+SSH Keys
Introduction
To manage the SSH keys for an account that are used to log in to cloud instances, the Civo CLI tool provides the following commands. You would need to generate a new key according to your particular circumstances, if you do not have a suitable SSH key yet.
Uploading a New SSH Key
You will need the path to your public SSH Key to upload a new key to Civo. The usage is as follows: civo ssh create NAME --key /path/to/FILENAME
Listing Your SSH Keys
You will be able to list the SSH keys known for the current account holder by invoking civo ssh list:
$ civo sshkeys ls
+--------------------------------------+------------------+----------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------+------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| 8aa45fea-a395-471c-93a6-27485a8429f3 | civo_cli_demo | SHA256:[Unique SSH Fingerprint] |
+--------------------------------------+------------------+----------------------------------------------------+Removing a SSH Key
You can delete a SSH key by calling remove for it by ID:
$ civo ssh remove 531d0998-4152-410a-af20-0cccb1c7c73b
Removed SSH key cli-demo with ID 531d0998-4152-410a-af20-0cccb1c7c73bDisk Image
Introduction
Civo instances are built from a disk image. Currently there centos, debian and ubuntu are supported.In order to create an instance the diskimage ID is needed that can be found by running civo diskimage ls

+--------------------------------------+-----------------+----------------+-----------+--------------+Volumes
Introduction
Volumes are flexible-size additional storage for instances. By creating and associating a Volume with an instance, an additional virtual disk will be made available for backups or database files that can then moved to another instance.
Volumes for Kubernetes clusters do not have to be created – a cluster object for a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim will create the volume in your account.
Volumes take disk space on your account's quota, and can only be created up to this quota limit. For more information about the quota system, see Quota.
Creating a Volume
You can create a new volume by calling civo volume create NAME SIZE(GB):
Options:
-h, --help help for create
-t, --network string The network name/ID where the volume will be created (default "default")
-s, --size-gb int The new size in GB (required)
$ civo volume create CLI-demo-volume -s 25
Created a volume called CLI-demo-volume with ID 59076ec8-edba-4071-80d0-e9cfcce37b12Attaching a Volume to an Instance
Mounting (Attaching) a volume onto an instance will allow that instance to use the volume as a drive:
$ civo volume attach CLI-demo-volume api-demo.test
The volume called CLI-demo-volume with ID 59076ec8-edba-4071-80d0-e9cfcce37b12 was attached to the instance api-demo.testIf this is a newly-created volume, you would need to partition, format and mount the volume. For more information, see the Learn guide here. Note: You can only attach a volume to one instance at a time.
Detaching a Volume From an Instance
If you want to detach a volume to move it to another instance, or are just finished with it, you can detach it once it's been unmounted using civo volume detach volume_id:
$ civo volume detach CLI-demo-volume
The volume called CLI-demo-volume with ID 59076ec8-edba-4071-80d0-e9cfcce37b12 was detachedListing Volumes
You can get an overall view of your volumes, their sizes and status by using civo volume list:
$ civo volume ls
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+---------+----------+----------+-------+-------------+-----------+
| ID | Name | Network | Cluster | Instance | Size | Mount Point | Status |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+---------+----------+----------+-------+-------------+-----------+
| 59076ec8-edba-4071-80d0-e9cfcce37b12 | CLI-demo-volume | Default | | | 25 GB | | available |
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+---------+----------+----------+-------+-------------+-----------+Deleting Volumes
To free up quota and therefore the amount to be billed to your account, you can delete a volume through civo volume delete volume_id. This deletion is immediate:
$ civo volume delete CLI-demo-volume
The volume called CLI-demo-volume with ID 59076ec8-edba-4071-80d0-e9cfcce37b12 was deletedIf a Kubernetes volume is showing with a status of dangling it can be deleted to release the quota and prevent further billing by running civo volume delete <VOLUME-NAME> --region <REGION-NAME>.
Teams
Teams are a grouping of users, each member of a team having one or more permissions, or roles. When a user logs in, they don't have to select which team to use - only which account they want to act within. The permissions available are the total set of permissions they have across the teams in that account, combined.
List all teams
You can run civo teams ls to get the list of all teams
$ civo teams ls

+--------------------------------------+------------------+Create a new team
To create a new team in your account, the cmd you need to run is civo teams create <NEW-TEAM-NAME> and a new team will be created with the given name.
$ civo teams create Community
Created a team called Community with team ID 475a087b-bec8-4a66-ac14-95bc09bd8d1eRename a team
To rename a team, you need to run the cmd civo teams rename <OLD-TEAM-NAME> <NEW-TEAM-NAME>
$ civo teams rename Community Advocacy
The team with ID 475a087b-bec8-4a66-ac14-95bc09bd8d1e was renamed to AdvocacyDelete a team
To delete a team, you need to run the cmd civo teams delete <TEAM-NAME>
$ civo teams delete Advocacy
Warning: Are you sure you want to delete the Advocacy team (y/N) ? y
The team (Advocacy) has been deletedPermissions
Each member of a team is assigned one or more permissions, or roles. The permissions available are the total set of permissions they have across the teams in that account, combined.
List all permissions
You have to run the cmd civo permissions ls to list down all the available permissions.

+-------------------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+Region
As Civo grows, more regions for your instances will become available. You can run civo region ls to list the regions available. Block storage (Volumes) is region-specific, so if you configure an instance in one region, any volumes you wish to attach to that instance would have to be in the same region.
List all region
You can run civo region ls to get the list of all region
civo region ls

To change the region the only cmd you need run is civo region current <REGION-CODE> and you will see a message like this:
civo region current NYC1
The default region was set to (New York 1) NYC1
Use region in non-interactive mode
To set the region in non-interactive mode, you only need pass to the command this --region <REGION-CODE> like this
civo kubernetes create production-01 -n 4 --wait --region NYC1Enabling shell autocompletion
The civo binary is delivered with the support for bash, zsh, powershell and fish, and you can use in this way
civo completion [bash|zsh|powershell|fish]
Sourcing the completion script in your shell enables civo autocompletion.
However, the completion script depends on bash-completion, which means that you have to install this software first (you can test if you have bash-completion already installed by running type _init_completion).
Install bash-completion
bash-completion is provided by many package managers (see here). You can install it with apt-get install bash-completion or yum install bash-completion, etc.
The above commands create /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion, which is the main script of bash-completion. Depending on your package manager, you have to manually source this file in your ~/.bashrc file.
To find out, reload your shell and run type _init_completion. If the command succeeds, you're already set, otherwise add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:
source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completionReload your shell and verify that bash-completion is correctly installed by typing type _init_completion.
Enable civo autocompletion
You now need to ensure that the civo completion script gets sourced in all your shell sessions. There are two ways in which you can do this:
-
Source the completion script in your
~/.bashrcfile:echo 'source <(civo completion bash)' >>~/.bashrc
-
Add the completion script to the
/etc/bash_completion.ddirectory:civo completion bash >/etc/bash_completion.d/civo
If you have an alias for civo, you can extend shell completion to work with that alias:
echo 'alias c=civo' >>~/.bashrc
echo 'complete -F __start_civo c' >>~/.bashrcInstall zsh-completion
The civo completion script for Zsh can be generated with the command civo completion zsh. Sourcing the completion script in your shell enables civo autocompletion.
To do so in all your shell sessions, add the following to your ~/.zshrc file:
source <(civo completion zsh)If you have an alias for civo, you can extend shell completion to work with that alias:
echo 'alias c=civo' >>~/.zshrc
echo 'complete -F __start_civo c' >>~/.zshrcAfter reloading your shell, civo autocompletion should be working.
If you get an error like complete:13: command not found: compdef, then add the following to the beginning of your ~/.zshrc file:
autoload -Uz compinit
compinitTo set the civo completion code for zsh to auto-load on start up yo can run this command.
civo completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_civo"Contributing
