The Dosei CLI

After you have Dosei up and running, you can connect using dosei.

External apps talk to Dosei using a TCP socket and Dosei specific protocol. This protocol is implemented in Dosei sdks for the different programming languages. However, to make hacking with Dosei simpler, Dosei provides a command line utility that can be used to send commands to Dosei. This program is called dosei.

To install and configure dosei follow this two-step guide Dosei CLI Getting started guide.

Alternatively if you prefer not to install dosei locally, you can run it from the Docker container:

docker exec -it dosei dosei

Test if you can connect using the CLI

The first thing to do to check if Dosei is working properly is sending a info command using dosei:

$ dosei info
{
  "server": {
    "id": ...,
    "mode": "STANDALONE",
    "address": {
      "host": "127.0.0.1",
      "port": 8844
    },
    "version": ...,
    "integration": {
      "github": null
    }
  }
}
