Upsun CLI

The Upsun CLI is the official command-line interface for Upsun.

This repository hosts the source code and releases of the CLI.

This product includes PHP software, freely available from the PHP website

Install

To install the CLI, use either Homebrew (on Linux, macOS, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux) or Scoop (on Windows):

HomeBrew

brew install upsun/tap/upsun-cli

Scoop

scoop bucket add upsun https://github.com/upsun/homebrew-tap.git
scoop install upsun

Bash installer

Use the bash installer for an automated installation, using the most preferable way for your system.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsun/cli/main/installer.sh | bash

The installer is configurable using the following environment variables:

• INSTALL_LOG - the install log file
• INSTALL_METHOD - force a specific installation method, possible values are brew and raw
• INSTALL_DIR - the installation directory for the raw installation method, for example you can use INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin for a single user installation
• VERSION - the version of the CLI to install, if you need a version other than the latest one

Outside CI, the raw method also installs shell completion for the current user, without editing shell configuration files: bash completion in ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions (loaded by bash-completion 2), and fish completion in ~/.config/fish/completions when available. For zsh users (by $SHELL), it installs ~/.local/share/upsun/completion.zsh and prints the line to add to ~/.zshrc.

Installation configuration examples

Force the CLI to be installed using the raw method

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsun/cli/main/installer.sh | INSTALL_METHOD=raw bash

Install a specific version

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsun/cli/main/installer.sh | VERSION=5.0.0 bash

Install the CLI in a user owned directory

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsun/cli/main/installer.sh | INSTALL_METHOD=raw INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin bash

sudo curl -fsSL https://repositories.upsun.com/gpg.key -o /etc/apt/keyrings/upsun.asc
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/upsun.asc] https://repositories.upsun.com/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upsun.list

# Install the CLI
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y upsun-cli

RPM (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky)

# Add the repository
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/upsun.repo << 'EOF'

sudo dnf install -y upsun-cli

Manual installation

For manual installation, you can also download the latest binaries.

Docker

The CLI is also available as a Docker image:

docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/upsun/cli

Upgrade

Upgrade using the same tool:

HomeBrew

brew update && brew upgrade upsun/tap/upsun-cli

Scoop

scoop update upsun

Bash installer

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upsun/cli/main/installer.sh | bash

Alpine

sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade upsun-cli

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade upsun-cli

CentOS/RHEL/Fedora

sudo dnf upgrade -y upsun-cli

Update notifications

When a newer release is available, the CLI prints a short notice with the upgrade command for the tool you installed it with. It detects the install method automatically and, for system package managers (apt, yum/dnf, apk), stays silent because those update the CLI through the OS.

The notice is shown at most once a week and only in an interactive terminal. To control it:

• UPSUN_CLI_UPDATES_CHECK=0 disables update checks and notices entirely.
• UPSUN_CLI_INSTALL_METHOD=<method> forces the detected install method, where <method> is one of homebrew, scoop, npm, package, or script. Use package to silence the notice when the OS manages updates.

(For the platform command, the prefix is PLATFORMSH_CLI_ instead of UPSUN_CLI_.)

Building

Build a single binary:

make single

Build a snapshot:

make snapshot

Build a snapshot for a vendor:

# Download the config file at internal/config/embedded-config.yaml
make vendor-snapshot VENDOR_NAME='Vendor Name' VENDOR_BINARY='vendorcli'

Creating a Release

Releases are automated via GitHub Actions. To create a new release:

1. Create and push a new tag:

   git tag -m 'Release v5.0.0' 'v5.0.0'
   git push origin v5.0.0

2. The Release workflow will automatically:

   • Build binaries for all platforms
   • Sign packages (APK, DEB, RPM)
   • Create a GitHub release with all artifacts
   • Update package repositories at repositories.upsun.com
   • Build and push Docker image to ghcr.io/upsun/cli

Licenses

This binary redistributes PHP in a binary form, which comes with the PHP License.
