Relay entries

cmdop remotes is the registry of relays this machine connects to. It is the counterpart of cmdop server, which runs a relay other machines connect to.

cmdop remotes list cmdop remotes add <url> cmdop remotes use <slug> cmdop remotes show cmdop remotes remove <slug>

cmdop remote is an alias for cmdop remotes. Running cmdop remotes with no subcommand prints a brief list.

Slugs

Every entry is addressed by a slug, which Cmdop derives from the relay URL rather than letting you choose it:

URLSlug
https://relay.example.comrelay.example.com
http://192.168.1.10:8080192-168-1-10_8080

Run cmdop remotes list to see the slug for each entry; the active one is marked.

Add an entry

cmdop remotes add https://relay.example.com cmdop remotes add https://relay.example.com --name "Prod relay" cmdop remotes add https://relay.example.com --no-check
FlagPurpose
--name <text>Human-readable display name shown in cmdop remotes list.
--no-checkSkip the health probe — use when the relay is not reachable yet but you want the entry staged.
--insecureSkip TLS verification for the probe. Self-signed self-hosted relays only.
--forceOverwrite an existing entry with the same slug.

Adding an entry does not join this machine to that relay. Run cmdop join <join-key> afterwards against that relay.

Inspect and switch

cmdop remotes list cmdop remotes list --json cmdop remotes show cmdop remotes show <slug> cmdop remotes show --reveal-secrets cmdop remotes use <slug> cmdop remotes use <slug> --no-check

show with no argument shows the active entry. Stored credentials are masked unless you pass --reveal-secrets.

use sets the active relay. It probes the relay first, but a failed probe only prints a warning — the switch still happens. --no-check suppresses the probe.

Remove an entry

cmdop remotes remove <slug> cmdop remotes remove <slug> --yes

-y/--yes skips the confirmation prompt. rm and delete are aliases. If you remove the active entry, no relay is active until you pick another one.
