Moved to
nself license loginin v1.5.0, removed in v1.6.0. The old spelling keeps working until then.
See cmd-license for the current command. Command-Canon lists every move.
Log in to your ɳSelf account.
nself login authenticates the CLI with your ɳSelf account (cloud.nself.org or a self-hosted ɳSelf Cloud instance). On success, a session token is stored in the local credential store (~/.nself/auth.json, mode 0600) and used automatically by subsequent commands that require authentication.
Self-hosted users with no cloud account can skip this step, the CLI operates without a cloud login for local stack management. nself login is required for:
- Accessing
cloud.nself.orgto provision or manage hosted stacks - Syncing license keys from your account
- Pushing plugin submissions via
nself plugin submit
# Interactive login (browser-based OAuth)
nself login
# Print the login URL instead of opening a browser (e.g. over SSH)
nself login --no-browser
# Log in again even though a session already exists
nself login --force- cmd-logout, Log out and clear session
