GtS CLI Tool

GoToSocial compiles to an executable binary.

The standard way of using this binary is to run a server with the gotosocial server start command.

However, this binary can also be used as an admin tool, and for debugging.

Here's the full output of gotosocial --help, without the big list of global config options.

GoToSocial - a fediverse social media server

For help, see: https://docs.gotosocial.org.

Code: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Usage:
  gotosocial [command]

Available Commands:
  admin       gotosocial admin-related tasks
  debug       gotosocial debug-related tasks
  help        Help about any command
  server      gotosocial server-related tasks

Under Available Commands, you can see the standard server command. But there are also commands doing admin and debugging etc, which will be explained in this document.

!!! Info "Passing global config to the CLI"

For all of these commands, you will still need to set the global options correctly so that the CLI tool knows how to connect to your database, which database to use, which host and account domain to use, etc.

You can set these options using environment variables, passing them as CLI flags (eg., `gotosocial [commands] --host example.org`), or by just pointing the CLI tool towards your config file (eg., `gotosocial --config-path ./config.yaml [commands]`).

!!! Info

When running CLI commands, you'll get a bit of output like the following:

```text
time=XXXX level=info msg=connected to SQLITE database
time=XXXX level=info msg=there are no new migrations to run func=doMigration
time=XXXX level=info msg=closing db connection
```

This is normal and indicates that the commands ran as expected.

!!! Warning "Restarting GtS after running admin commands"

Because of the way internal caching works in GoToSocial, you may need to restart GoToSocial after running some of these commands in order for the effect of the command to "take". We are still looking for a way to make this unnecessary. In the meantime, commands that require a restart after running the command are highlighted below.

gotosocial admin import

This command can be used to import data from a file into your GoToSocial database.

If GoToSocial tables don't yet exist in the database, they will be created.

If any conflicts occur while importing (an already exists while attempting to import a specific account, for example), then the process will be aborted.

The file format should be a series of newline-separated JSON objects (see above).

gotosocial admin import --help:

import data from a file into the database

Usage:
  gotosocial admin import [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help          help for import
      --path string   the path of the file to import from/export to

Example:

gotosocial admin import --path example.json --config-path config.yaml

gotosocial admin media list-attachments

Can be used to list the storage paths of local, remote, or all media attachments on your instance (including headers and avatars).

local-only and remote-only can be used as filters; they cannot both be set at once.

If neither local-only or remote-only are set, all media attachments on your instance will be listed.

You may want to run this with GTS_LOG_LEVEL set to warn or error, otherwise it will log a lot of info messages you probably don't need.

gotosocial admin media list-attachments --help:

list local, remote, or all attachments

Usage:
  gotosocial admin media list-attachments [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help          help for list-attachments
      --local-only    list only local attachments/emojis; if specified then remote-only cannot also be true
      --remote-only   list only remote attachments/emojis; if specified then local-only cannot also be true

Example output:

gotosocial admin media list-emojis

Can be used to list the storage paths of local, remote, or all emojis on your instance.

local-only and remote-only can be used as filters; they cannot both be set at once.

If neither local-only or remote-only are set, all emojis on your instance will be listed.

You may want to run this with GTS_LOG_LEVEL set to warn or error, otherwise it will log a lot of info messages you probably don't need.

gotosocial admin media prune orphaned

This command can be used to prune orphaned media from your GoToSocial.

Orphaned media is defined as media that is in storage under a key that matches the format used by GoToSocial, but which does not have a corresponding database entry. This is useful for excising files that may be remaining from a previous installation, or files that were placed in storage mistakenly.

!!! Warning "Requires a stopped server"

This command only works when GoToSocial is not running, since it acquires an exclusive lock on storage.

Stop GoToSocial first before running this command!

prune orphaned media from storage

Usage:
  gotosocial admin media prune orphaned [flags]

Flags:
      --dry-run   perform a dry run and only log number of items eligible for pruning (default true)
  -h, --help      help for orphaned

By default, this command performs a dry run, which will log how many items can be pruned. To do it for real, add --dry-run=false to the command.

Example (dry run):

gotosocial admin media prune orphaned

Example (for real):

gotosocial admin media prune orphaned --dry-run=false

gotosocial admin media prune remote

This command can be used to prune unused/stale remote media from your GoToSocial.

Stale media means avatars/headers/status attachments from remote instances that are older than media-remote-cache-days.

These items will be refetched later on demand, if necessary.

Unused media means avatars/headers/status attachments which are not currently in use by an account or status.

!!! Warning "Requires a stopped server"

This command only works when GoToSocial is not running, since it acquires an exclusive lock on storage.

Stop GoToSocial first before running this command!
