Platform.sh offers a tool that allows you to manage your projects from the command line. It enables you to do almost everything in a terminal that you can do in the Dashboard, and much more.
Platform.sh’s CLI is pre-installed in the cli container. Note: required docksal/cli version: 2.3.0+.
Follow the official docs to generate your API token.
Add the token to $HOME/docksal/docksal.env:
fin config set --global SECRET_PLATFORMSH_CLI_TOKEN="XMAG92S9_9gf5Mlhb7-JIEjVwYYhY-MGuKcspAdL0CjkU"
If you’d rather not put the token in your global environment file then the token can be added to $PROJECT/docksal/docksal-local.env by running:
fin config set --env=local SECRET_PLATFORMSH_CLI_TOKEN="XMAG92S9_9gf5Mlhb7-JIEjVwYYhY-MGuKcspAdL0CjkU"
Refresh cli service configuration with fin project start. This will inject the token into cli and authenticate
in the container with Platform.sh.
Use fin platform <command> from the host or platform <command> inside cli.
Please refer to the official docs for usage details.
Note: It is also possible to add/override these values via .docksal/docksal.env and .docksal/docksal-local.env at the project level. Keep in mind, .docksal/docksal.env is a shared configuration file and should be committed to git. .docksal/docksal-local.env, on the other hand, can be used for local overrides and should be excluded from git. As such, it is best to use .docksal/docksal-local.env for any personal keys and tokens configured at the project level.
For easier integration with Platform.sh environment use the pull command. This allows you to easily bring your assets (db, files, and code) down to your local environment quickly without manually running through the steps.
