impreza-cli — Official CLI for Impreza Host

Command-line interface for the Impreza Host public REST API. Built on top of impreza-sdk — same auth model, same Tor support, same retry behaviour, plus multi-context configuration and Rich-rendered tables for human- friendly output.

pip install impreza-cli

Requires Python 3.10+. See ../CHANGELOG.md for release history.

Quickstart

# 1. Add a context with your API credentials. Generate keys in
#    Impreza Account → API Keys; whitelist the calling
#    machine's IP at the same screen.
$ impreza context create personal --key imp_... --secret ...
Context 'personal' created and set as default.

# 2. Confirm everything works. impreza doctor runs five sequenced
#    health checks (config, API reachable, key status, IP
#    whitelist, account profile) and exits 0 only if all pass.
$ impreza doctor

impreza doctor
----------------------------------------
[OK]    active-context: Default context
[OK]    api-reachable: GET /account/api-keys/self OK (142ms)
        key prefix='imp_a1b2c3d4', label='devkit'
[OK]    key-status: status='active'
[OK]    ip-whitelist: request_ip 198.51.100.23 matches entry ('home')
[OK]    account-profile: Jane Doe <jane@example.com>, balance 5.00 USD
                         registered 2024-01-15
----------------------------------------
All checks passed. 5/5.

# 3. Read commands span every resource group:
$ impreza account info             # profile + balance
$ impreza vps list                 # across both backends
$ impreza domain check example.com mydomain.io
$ impreza catalog products --group "VPS"

# 4. Pipe into jq for scripting (every read verb supports --output
#    json | yaml):
$ impreza invoice list --output json \
    | jq '[.[] | select(.status == "Unpaid")] | length'

# 5. Write verbs are gated by confirm_or_exit so you don't lose
#    data accidentally; pass --yes / -y to skip prompts in scripts:
$ impreza vps reboot 17988
$ impreza vps proxmox snapshots create 17988 pre-update
$ impreza domain dns add example.com --type A --name www --value 203.0.113.24

# 6. Crypto top-up. --browser opens the BTCPay invoice URL
#    automatically; --wait polls until the gateway confirms
#    (default 2h timeout matches server-side invoice expiry).
$ impreza account topup --amount 50 --method xmr --browser --wait

Authentication

Two ways to authenticate. The CLI tries them in order:

  1. Context (recommended) — impreza context create <name> stores credentials in a config file; commands read them automatically. Per-invocation override via impreza --context other <command>.

  2. Environment variables — IMPREZA_API_KEY + IMPREZA_API_SECRET. Useful in CI, but contexts are preferred for local work.

The config file lives at:

OS Path
Linux $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/impreza/config.toml (default ~/.config/impreza/config.toml)
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/impreza/config.toml
Windows %APPDATA%\impreza\config.toml

Override with IMPREZA_CONFIG=/path/to/config.toml for testing or non-standard layouts.

On POSIX, the config file is chmod 0o600 after every write so only the owner can read the credentials. Windows ACLs are left to the OS default.

Commands

The CLI groups commands by resource. Run impreza <group> --help to see the full subcommand list, or impreza <group> <command> --help for option-level detail.

Group Verbs Notes
context create / use / list / current / delete Local credential management — never hits the network
doctor (single command) Health check — config + API reachable + key status + IP whitelist + account profile
account info / balance / services / topup / topup-status Profile + balance + services + crypto top-up
catalog products / product / product-groups / tlds Pre-purchase discovery
domain show / check / pricing / register / transfer / set-nameservers / lock / unlock / id-protection / raa-verify / gdpr-auth / transfer-approval + domain dns list / add / update / delete / activate Domain registrations + full DNS CRUD
vps list / show / status / start / stop / reboot / shutdown / set-hostname / set-password / reinstall / migrate / cancel + vps proxmox snapshots / backups / backup-schedules / network + vps cloud images / rescue / iso / ssh-keys / vnc / vnc-password / resize / boot-order / ipv6 Cross-backend (Proxmox + Cloud) VPS with smart dispatch
order list / show / create / upgrade Submit / browse product orders
service cancel Submit cancellation request (any service)
webhook list / show / create / update / delete / rotate-secret / deliveries / event-types Webhook subscription management + delivery history. Event-payload contract documented in ../openapi/asyncapi.yaml.
invoice list / show Invoices with line items + transactions
key whoami Active API key identity + IP whitelist

Conventions:

  • Destructive verbs prompt for confirmation; pass --yes / -y to skip the prompt in scripts.
  • Operation-returning verbs (vps reinstall, vps migrate, vps proxmox snapshots rollback, vps proxmox backups create/restore) accept --wait to block on the Proxmox queue, with --timeout (default 600 s for fast ops, 1800 s for the slower restores).
  • Cost-incurring verbs (domain register/transfer/id-protection, order create/upgrade, account topup) call out the balance impact in the confirmation prompt; an InsufficientCredit 402 surfaces with a hint pointing at impreza account topup.
  • Verbs that mutate a resource emit a green success line on stdout; queued / reboot-required state changes emit a cyan info line. Errors are red on stderr.

Service termination policy: service cancel / vps cancel submit an AddCancelRequest — staff approves the actual termination. There is no direct customer path to terminate a service or remove a service suspension (suspension is billing-state and is removed automatically when the overdue invoice is paid, or manually by staff after an abuse hold is resolved).

Output formats

Every command supports --output table|json|yaml (short form -o).

Format Default Best for
table yes human reading at the terminal
json piping into jq, automation, scripting
yaml human-editable config snapshots, CI/CD pipelines

YAML output requires the optional pyyaml dependency:

pip install impreza-cli[yaml]

The CLI raises a clear RuntimeError pointing at the install hint if you select --output yaml without it.

The flag works at both the global level and per-command:

# Global default for the invocation
impreza --output json account info

# Per-command override (wins over global)
impreza --output yaml account info --output table

Tab completion

Typer ships completion for bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell out of the box:

# Install for the current shell (auto-detected)
impreza --install-completion

# Or explicitly
impreza --install-completion bash    # / zsh / fish / powershell

# Inspect the script before installing
impreza --show-completion bash

After installing, restart the shell (or source ~/.bashrc / equivalent) and impreza <TAB> should suggest resource groups, impreza account <TAB> should suggest verbs, and so on.

Tor

Four knobs, from the most persistent to the most one-off:

# Persisted at context creation (writes [settings] use_tor=true)
impreza context create offshore --key imp_... --secret ... --via-tor

# Explicit SOCKS5 proxy instead (wins over use_tor; works for any
# SOCKS5, not just Tor)
impreza context create offshore --key imp_... --secret ...   --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050

# One-shot global flag on any command
impreza --via-tor account info

# Env var, picked up by the SDK transparently
IMPREZA_USE_TOR=1 impreza account info

All four route through the local Tor daemon's SOCKS5 port with remote DNS (no local lookup of the API hostname). Because exit nodes rotate, set the API key's IP factor to tofu or keyonly in the client area — whitelist cannot work without a stable egress IP. When the account uses the API's .onion mirror, the IP factor sees a stable loopback instead.

The SDK's auto_tor=True path (probe Tor, fall back to clearnet) isn't surfaced through the CLI yet — it is a fail-open convenience, which is the wrong default here.

Error handling

The CLI maps SDK exceptions to friendly stderr messages and a non-zero exit code, matching the format ImprezaError.__str__ produces:

Error: Invalid API credentials. (code=UNAUTHORIZED) [request_id=req_abc]

Tracebacks never leak from expected failures (auth errors, missing contexts, 404s, 429s, etc.). Bugs in the CLI itself still raise so the traceback isn't swallowed — that's intentional.

Reviewed application configuration

Version 0.6.0 adds configuration export, review and apply. Documents are limited to 64 KiB of UTF-8 and carry secret references instead of values. Applications retain their current configuration until a reviewed plan is explicitly applied.

See the configuration guide for SDK and CLI examples, permissions, review expiry and replay behavior.

Development

git clone https://github.com/imprezahost/impreza-devkit.git
cd impreza-devkit/cli-python

python -m venv .venv
# Linux/macOS:        source .venv/bin/activate
# Windows PowerShell: .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Install editable + test/dev/yaml extras + the SDK as a path dep
pip install -e ../sdk-python -e ".[test,dev,yaml]"

pytest                              # unit + Typer-runner E2E
ruff check
mypy --strict impreza_cli

To run the live integration smokes (skipped silently without creds):

export IMPREZA_API_KEY="imp_..."
export IMPREZA_API_SECRET="..."
# Optional, for `impreza domain show / dns list`:
export IMPREZA_TEST_DOMAIN="<a domain on your account>"

pytest -v -s tests/

The smokes exercise the same surface as the unit tests against the real API, so they catch contract drift between the CLI and the server.
