Configure

Get your API token from the v6Node dashboard, then:

v6ctl config set token v6_...

Token is stored at ~/.config/v6ctl/config.json with 0600 permissions.

Alternatively, set V6_TOKEN in your environment.

Use

v6ctl nodes list                                # list your nodes
v6ctl nodes show <pay-id>                       # full details for a node
v6ctl nodes create -r 7 -p 13 -k 3200 -t debian-13
v6ctl nodes reboot <pay-id>
v6ctl nodes delete <pay-id>

v6ctl keys list                                 # list SSH keys
v6ctl keys create -d "laptop" -k "ssh-ed25519 AAAA..."

v6ctl webhooks create -u https://example.com/hook -e node.deployed

v6ctl plans                                     # available plans + pricing
v6ctl regions                                   # available regions
v6ctl templates                                 # available OS templates

Run v6ctl --help or v6ctl <command> --help for the full reference.
