Nginx-LE cli tooling

Nginx-LE provides optional cli tooling to manage your Nginx-LE instance.
The cli tooling is based on dart and the DCli library.
To install the cli tooling:
(If you already have dart installed you can go straight to step 3.)
  1. 1.
    Install dcli install guide
  2. 2.
    Restart your terminal
  3. 3.
    Activate Nginx-LE
pub global activate nginx_le
On linux this amounts to:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y wget ca-certificates gnupg2
wget https://github.com/noojee/dcli/releases/download/latest-linux/dcli_install -O dcli_install
chmod +x dcli_install
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin":"$HOME/.dcli/bin"
./dcli_install
pub global activate nginx_le
The DCli installer also installs dart (if its not already installed).
The Nginx-LE cli exposes the following commands:
