Cmdra Documentation

Remote execution docs for the daemon, the CLI, and every supported client surface.

Cmdra exposes argv commands, shell commands, persistent shell sessions, output replay, and file transfer over gRPC with mutual TLS. This site documents installation and usage across Linux, macOS, Windows, the CLI, the TUI, Go, Python, Robot Framework, and Ansible.

Coverage

Operational use notes

Operations

Install the daemon

Set up cmdrad in foreground or service mode on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with mTLS and CN-based access control.

Open guide CLI

Operate with cmdractl

Run commands, attach to shell sessions, inspect metadata, and move files through the operator CLI.

Open guide TUI

Operate with cmdraui

Use the Bubble Tea terminal UI to inspect executions and transfers, launch new work, and attach to live sessions.

Open guide SDKs

Build against the SDKs

Use the Go and Python client libraries for synchronous and asynchronous execution and transfer workflows.

Open guide Integrations

Integrate with test and automation tools

Use the Python wrapper layers with Robot Framework and Ansible without building your own transport glue.
