Lagoon CLI Cheat Sheet

If you’re a Lagoon user, you’re probably using the Lagoon CLI (if not - check it out!). We’ve got a cheat sheet of useful commands to help you get the most out of Lagoon.

Confirm it’s working

# Test it out
lagoon login

# if using something other than main “id_rsa” use the below to point to private key
lagoon login -i ~/.ssh/path-to-rsa

# Use this command to see who you are logged in as
lagoon whoami

Update project settings

# update project branches
lagoon update project -p [project-name] -b "^([branch-1]|[branch-2])$"

# update project repo
lagoon update project -p [project-name] -g git@github.com:[repo-name]/[project-name].git

# update which branch is production
lagoon update project -p [project-name] -E [branch-name]

# set “pull requests enabled” to true for project
lagoon update project -p [project-name] -m true

SSH

# SSH access is for debugging purposes. Any changes made to files will be lost the next time the container restarts. 
# SSH into Lagoon remote
lagoon ssh -p [project-name] -e [environment-name]

Add / Delete Envs

# Manually delete an environment from Lagoon (will not delete the branch from your repo)
lagoon delete environment -p [project-name] -e [environment-name]
# You can also do this through the UI; there is a button on the dashboard which allows you to manually delete envs.

# To add env: 
  # Make sure the branches are set correctly on your project
  # Create branch
  # Make your first commit on the branch and push to repo
  # If you have your branches correctly configured on Lagoon, this should trigger an automatic deployment of the environment.

lagoon list variables

# Add or update a variable to an environment or project

# Add or update a variable to an environment or project

List groups, projects, users

# List groups you have access to (alias: g)

# List projects in a group (alias: gp)

# List all users in groups
