Using CLI

Gancio is distributed with an embedded CLI. To use the CLI you need to specify the config.json configuration file via --config <your_config.json> flag; by default the CLI will look for one in the current directory, so if your current directory is /opt/gancio (having followed the installation instructions) there is no need to specify it.

Using CLI with Docker installation

To use the CLI in a docker installation you can execute a shell inside the container with: docker exec --workdir /home/node/data -it gancio sh and following the normal CLI usage or running commands with:

docker exec --workdir /home/node/data gancio gancio <your command>

(the first “gancio” is the container name)
