Accessing the Solace CLI

The Solace CLI is used to configure and manage the PubSub+ software event broker

In a machine image, to access the Solace CLI, you can either:

  • enter the following command from the Linux Host shell:
    solacectl cli [-u <username>]

    where -u or --username specifies the CLI username to log in with. If this option is not given, the default user, root, is used.

  • ssh to port 2222

In a container image, to access the Solace CLI, you can either:

  • ssh to port 2222
  • run the CLI from the container via the runtime engine. For example:
    docker exec -it solace /usr/sw/loads/currentload/bin/cli -A

    Note that if you use the Docker Engine command above, you are using the CLI in anonymous mode (that is, unauthenticated).
