What is wormholesystems-cli?

wsctl is a command line tool that automates setting up and maintaining a self hosted Wormhole Systems instance, an application built around EVE Online tools. Rather than manually cloning a repository, editing configuration files, and running Docker commands by hand, wsctl walks you through an interactive setup wizard that handles the entire container stack, including cloning the necessary repositories, generating secrets, building Docker images, and initializing the database. The wizard asks a series of questions, such as whether you want a production setup with automatic SSL certificates or a simple local test mode, what domain and contact information to use, and your EVE Online developer application credentials. In production mode, it detects your server's public IP address, tells you exactly which DNS records to create, and checks that those records have actually taken effect before continuing. It also checks for conflicts with other Docker containers already running on the machine and can adjust its own network setup to avoid clashing with them. Before making any changes, it shows a complete summary of every setting, file, and command it plans to run, and only proceeds once you approve. If the setup process is interrupted, whether by a failed step or by stopping it manually, progress is saved to a state file, and running the setup command again picks up exactly where it left off instead of starting over. A separate update command keeps the EVE Online game data inside the instance current by downloading the latest static data and running database migrations. The tool is written in Rust and is built with automated testing that checks its configuration generation against the real upstream container templates every week, so that changes to the underlying stack are caught quickly. It requires git and Docker with a recent version of Compose, and installation is done through a single shell command that downloads a prebuilt binary for your platform. The project is released under the MIT license.
