Frequently asked questions

How do I authenticate in CI?
Use createos login --token with your API key. Get your key from Profile Settings > API Keys in the CreateOS dashboard. Store it as a CI secret (e.g., CREATEOS_API_KEY in GitHub Actions).
Does the CLI work on Linux CI runners?
Yes. The curl installer auto-detects Linux x86_64 and ARM64. It works on GitHub Actions (ubuntu-latest), GitLab CI, CircleCI, and any Linux-based runner.
How do I get JSON output for scripting?
Add --output json or -o json to any command. In non-TTY environments (pipes, CI), the CLI defaults to JSON automatically.
Can I deploy on every push to main?
Yes. Add the install + login + deploy steps to your CI workflow triggered on push to main. The CLI handles everything, no additional deployment tools needed.
