ProtonBox Client (PBOX) Build Status

The ProtonBox command line tools allow you to manage your ProtonBox applications from the command line. The Getting Started guide has additional info on installing the tool on each supported operating system.

Using PBOX to create an application

DEPENDENCIES:

  • git
  • openssh-clients
  • ruby (1.8.7 or later)
  • rubygems

Step 1: Run the setup command to configure your system:

$ pbox setup

Follow the instructions in setup to set your SSH keys and create a domain. The name you choose for your domain will form part of your application's public URL.

Step 2: Create a ProtonBox application:

$ pbox app create -a appname -r /path/to/new/git/repo -t <framework Ex: php-5.3>

Once that's complete, follow the directions printed at the end of running pbox app create.

Making changes to your application

Once your site is created, updating it is as simple as making changes to your git repo. Commit them, then push. For example:

$ edit index.php
$ git commit -a -m "what I did"
$ git push

Then just reload your web page to see the changes.
