Nimbra Edge CLI - A command-line tool for managing and monitoring Nimbra Edge installations. Built in Rust, it provides a unified interface for controlling various edge resources including inputs, outputs, appliances, nodes, regions, and network tunnels.

Installation

Download the latest release from GitHub Releases

Shell completions are automatically included in the Debian package. For other installations, generate and install completions:

if command -v edgectl &> /dev/null; then
    source <(COMPLETE=bash edgectl completion)
fi

Configuration

The easiest way to get started is to use the login command:

This will prompt for your Edge URL and credentials, then save them as a context for future use.

The configuration is stored under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/edgectl or $HOME/.config/edgectl on linux, $HOME/Library/Application Support/edgectl on macOS and {FOLDERID_RoamingAppData} on windows.

Multiple Contexts

edgectl supports multiple contexts (similar to kubectl) for managing different Edge installations:

# List contexts
edgectl context list

# Switch between contexts
edgectl context use production

Environment Variables

You can use environment variables to override settings:

export EDGE_URL="https://your-edge-api-endpoint"
export EDGE_PASSWORD="your-admin-password"
