Edge Command Line Interface (CLI)

Note Edge CLI is only available on Linux for x86_64 architecture.

The Edge Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool that allows you to set up and manage aspects of your Edge site.

As of 2024.05, the Edge CLI is included in the Edge site installer.If you need to download or update only the Edge CLI, see the commands in the table below per your Edge site installation method.

Warning If your Edge site installer is older than 2025.04, you must reinstall your Edge site to download the Edge CLI before the 2025.02 release in February, 2025.

How to use Edge CLI commands on a Managed Kubernetes cluster

Note This is not an exhaustive list of commands. If you want to see the full list of commands available via the Edge CLI, run the CLI help command.

Actions Definitions
Install an Edge site

You can install your Edge site on a managed Kubernetes cluster by following the steps outlined in Install an Edge site, in addition to running one of the following commands:

Note 
  • You can install your Edge site with either terminal logging or terminal and file logging. Both options log the output of your Edge site installation.
    • Terminal logging only saves the output to the Edge terminal.
    • Terminal and file logging saves the output both to the terminal and a separate file. This file will be saved in the current directory with the naming format: edge-installer-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log
  • Copy 
    ./edgecli install
    • You must add -n <my-namspace> to the command if your Edge site will be installed:
      • Via the Edge CLI using the restrictive method.
      • Via the Helm chart.
    • If you want to use a private docker registry, add the following parameters to the install command:
      ParametersDescription
      --registry-url (required)

      The URL of your private docker registry.

      For example:

      https://edge-docker-delivery.repository.collibra.io

      --registry-host (optional)

      Where your private docker is hosted. If you do not specify this parameter, it is automatically derived from --registry-url

      For example:

      edge-docker-delivery.my-registry.docker.io

      --registry-user (optional)The username of the private docker registry. This parameter is not required if registry is public.
      --registry-pass (optional)The password of the private docker registry. This parameter is not required if registry is public.
      • With terminal logging:
        ./edgecli install 
--registry-url https://private-docker.registry.com 
--registry-user user1 
--registry-pass pass12
    • Optional, if you want to use a proxy, add --proxy <path to properties file> to the install command.
      • You want to install your Edge site with a forward proxy.
        1. Prepare the proxy.properties file to point to your proxy server address, port, and credentials.
        2. Run the following command:
          Copy
          ./edgecli install --proxy proxy.properties
    • Optional, if you want to use a custom certificate, add --ca ca.pem to the install command.
      1. You want to install your Edge site with a forward man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy.
        1. Prepare the proxy.properties file to point to your MITM proxy server address, port, and credentials.
        2. Prepre the ca.pem certificate file. This is the Certificate Authority that the forward MITM proxy uses to sign Certificates.
        3. Run the following command:
          Copy
          ./edgecli install --proxy proxy.properties --ca ca.pem
  • Copy 
    ./edgecli install 2>&1 | tee "edge-installer-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log"
    • You must add -n <my-namspace> to the command if your Edge site will be installed:
      • Via the Edge CLI using the restrictive method.
      • Via the Helm chart.
    • If you want to use a private docker registry, add the following parameters to the install command:
      ParametersDescription
      --registry-url (required)

      The URL of your private docker registry.

      For example:

      • You want to install your Edge site with a forward proxy.
        1. Prepare the proxy.properties file to point to your proxy server address, port, and credentials.
        2. Run the following command:

          ./edgecli install --proxy proxy.properties 2>&1 | tee "edge-installer-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log"
    • Optional, if you want to use a custom certificate, add --ca ca.pem to the install command.
      1. You want to install your Edge site with a forward man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy.

Uninstall an Edge site

If you have installed your Edge site using the Edge CLI method, you can uninstall your Edge site by using one of the following commands:

  • With terminal logging
    Copy
    ./edgecli uninstall
  • With terminal and file logging:
    Copy
    ./edgecli uninstall 2>&1 | tee "edge-installer-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log"
Note 
  • If your Edge site was installed using the old method, and not the Edge CLI method, use the uninstall command via the Edge tool.
