CLI

LyftData includes a CLI for running the server in evaluation mode, administering the control plane, and automating common workflows.

Connect to a server

The CLI targets a server URL (HTTPS by default). Set it once per shell:

• Linux/macOS: export LYFTDATA_URL=https://server-host:3000/
• Windows (PowerShell): $env:LYFTDATA_URL = "https://server-host:3000/"

Then authenticate:

lyftdata login admin

If the server is using the default self-signed certificate, re-run with --tls-insecure (or set LYFTDATA_TLS_INSECURE=true) until you install a trusted certificate.

Common commands

• Help: lyftdata --help, lyftdata <command> --help
• Version: lyftdata --version
• Run components: lyftdata run server, lyftdata run worker
• Jobs: lyftdata jobs …
• Workers: lyftdata workers …
• Deployments: lyftdata deployments …
• Diagnostics: lyftdata diag, lyftdata doctor

External worker hosts

For dedicated worker hosts, use the worker-only binary:

• lyftdata-worker --help
• Windows service management: lyftdata-worker service install --help

See Workers and your OS-specific worker guide for full setup steps.
