CDNFoundry CLI commands

Confirm the target environment

Before a production command, verify the exact release, Compose files, environment file, host role, and database endpoint. Never paste secrets into command arguments or run maintenance commands against an assumed context.

Run commands from the Laravel application directory, or through the repository's core Docker Compose service. List only CDNFoundry commands with:

php artisan list cdnf
docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan list cdnf

View the authoritative arguments and options for any command with:

php artisan help cdnf:<area>:<action>
docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan help cdnf:<area>:<action>

Commands that enqueue work return before asynchronous runtime changes finish. Run production examples with docker compose --env-file .env.prod -f compose.prod.yml exec core php artisan ... against an already-running core service.

Administration

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:admin:create {--name=} {--email=}	Prompts for a password and creates an administrator plus an audit event. Fails on invalid or duplicate input; avoid supplying passwords in shell arguments or history.	No

docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan cdnf:admin:create --name="Operations Admin" --email="admin@example.test"

API

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:api:openapi {--check}	Generates the route-derived OpenAPI contract and endpoint catalog. --check makes no changes and fails when committed artifacts are stale; without it, the command rewrites generated documentation.	No

docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan cdnf:api:openapi --check

Audit

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:audit:prune {--batch=1000}	Permanently deletes one bounded batch of audit events beyond configured retention. Increase the batch cautiously because deletion load grows with it.	Daily at 03:10

Backups

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:backups:create {--wait}	Creates backup and operation records, then queues an encrypted PostgreSQL Restic backup. --wait executes the job in the foreground and waits for repository acknowledgement. Fails if the repository is not configured.	Daily at 01:30 when configured
cdnf:backups:restore {operation}	Restores the backup approved by a successful restore-preflight operation. This is destructive, requires the explicit restore maintenance boundary, runs migrations, queues reconciliation, and leaves maintenance mode active if recovery fails.	No

docker compose --env-file .env.prod -f compose.prod.yml exec core php artisan cdnf:backups:create --wait
docker compose --env-file .env.prod -f compose.prod.yml exec core php artisan cdnf:backups:restore 6f9619ff-8b86-d011-b42d-00c04fc964ff

DNS and domains

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:dns:deprovision-due	Dispatches at most 1,000 due DNS-zone deprovision jobs in chunks of 100. It does not wait for PowerDNS changes.	Every minute
cdnf:domains:finalize-deprovisioning {--limit=100}	Dispatches finalization for due retired domains after runtime tombstones are safe. The effective limit is clamped to 1–1,000.	Every minute

Edge

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:edge:complete-placement-drains {--limit=100}	Promotes ready target pools after DNS drain, advances desired revisions, records audit events, and queues edge reconciliation. Limit is clamped to 1–1,000.	Every minute
cdnf:edge:dispatch-origin-checks {--limit=100}	Dispatches a jittered, bounded batch of explicitly enabled origin checks. Limit is clamped to 1–500 and at most five checks are selected per domain.	Every minute
cdnf:edge:prune-revisions {--limit=1000}	Permanently removes expired derived edge revisions and artifacts while retaining active and rollback-protected state. Limit is clamped to 1–10,000.	Daily at 02:30
cdnf:edge:reconcile-stale-placements {--limit=100}	Requeues interrupted stale placement deployments so they converge. Limit is clamped to 1–1,000.	Every minute

docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan cdnf:edge:reconcile-stale-placements --limit=50

Platform settings

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:platform:settings:show {group?} {--json}	Reads PostgreSQL-backed settings, descriptions, defaults, and active values. Supply an optional group; --json emits machine-readable output.	No
cdnf:platform:settings:set {group} {values}	Validates a JSON object, updates one setting group and revision, and queues runtime reconciliation when required. Quote JSON to prevent shell expansion.	No

docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan cdnf:platform:settings:show dns_lifecycle --json
docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run --rm core php artisan cdnf:platform:settings:set dns_lifecycle '{"deprovision_delay_days":14}'

Security and WAF

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:security:reconcile-readiness {--limit=100}	Expires emergency controls and advances quiet domains through bounded security recovery, producing reconciliation work. Limit is clamped to 1–1,000.	Every minute
cdnf:waf:expire-exclusions {--limit=100}	Permanently removes due managed-WAF exclusions in bounded domain batches, increments revisions, records audit events, and queues signed edge artifacts. Limit is clamped to 1–1,000.	Every minute

TLS

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:tls:dispatch-maintenance {--limit=500}	Cleans expired ACME challenges, queues bounded managed-certificate maintenance, and publishes administrator expiry/failure alerts. Limit is clamped to 1–2,000.	Hourly

Usage

Command and syntax	Purpose and effects	Scheduled
cdnf:usage:finalize	Dispatches an idempotent rebuild for the most recently finalized UTC usage hour. It does not wait for ClickHouse aggregation.	Hourly at minute 20

Scheduler

All command schedules use overlap prevention. The scheduler also runs framework or internal non-command work, which is intentionally not renamed here.

Scheduled command	Frequency	Purpose
cdnf:dns:deprovision-due	Every minute	Queue due DNS removals
cdnf:domains:finalize-deprovisioning	Every minute	Finalize safe domain retirement
cdnf:edge:complete-placement-drains	Every minute	Complete ready placement drains
cdnf:edge:reconcile-stale-placements	Every minute	Retry stale placements
cdnf:edge:dispatch-origin-checks	Every minute	Queue due opt-in origin checks
cdnf:edge:prune-revisions	Daily at 02:30	Remove expired derived revision history
cdnf:tls:dispatch-maintenance	Hourly	Maintain managed certificates and alerts
cdnf:security:reconcile-readiness	Every minute	Advance bounded security recovery
cdnf:waf:expire-exclusions	Every minute	Remove due WAF exclusions
cdnf:usage:finalize	Hourly at minute 20	Queue the finalized usage hour
cdnf:audit:prune	Daily at 03:10	Delete one expired audit batch
cdnf:backups:create	Daily at 01:30 when configured	Queue the control-plane backup

Laravel's horizon:snapshot runs every five minutes and model:prune runs hourly. They remain unchanged because they are not CDNFoundry-owned commands.
