The CLI

cubeship talks to the instance's API from your machine.

cubeship login https://cubeship.example.com <your-api-key>
cubeship app list
cubeship app logs api
cubeship app env set api DATABASE_POOL=10

Make an API key under Account in the dashboard. Every noun has --help, and every command it can run is something the dashboard can too — they are the same API.

Installing it

It is one static binary, attached to every release for macOS and Linux, Intel and ARM:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/cubeshipd/cubeship/releases/latest/download/cubeship_darwin_arm64.tar.gz | tar -xz
sudo mv cubeship /usr/local/bin/

Swap darwin_arm64 for darwin_amd64, linux_amd64 or linux_arm64. That name carries no version, so the command keeps working after the next release; the same tarball is also attached under its version — which is what to ask for when you want a specific one — and checksums.txt is beside them.

There is no go install: the module is named cubeship rather than the path it lives at, and a downloaded binary covers the same ground.

The API

See The API: the CLI, the dashboard and MCP are three clients of it. Every noun is in the pages beside this one.
