Everything the console does, scriptable

The console is one client of the control plane. Anything you can do there you can do from a script, which is what makes provisioning a customer a job rather than an afternoon.

See pricing Documentation

The admin console’s API tokens, Applications tab: two tokens, each with what it may do and the address it may send as.

The API

REST, documented by an OpenAPI schema generated from the same definitions the server validates with — so the documentation cannot describe a shape the API does not accept. Swagger UI ships with it. Tokens are scoped and revocable.

Swagger UI included
Scoped, revocable tokens
Owner, admin and domain-admin roles

The CLI

mailctl installs the stack, diagnoses it, backs it up, restores it and upgrades it — with a rollback that is conditional on whether the database has migrated, because an upgrade that has already changed the schema cannot be undone by swapping images back.

Headless from the start

The installer takes an answers file, so a server can be provisioned without anybody opening a browser. From 0.3.0, the release it installs is verified against a signed manifest before anything is pulled or written.
