Interaction with the Shuttle platform is mainly done with the shuttle Command Line Interface (CLI). Some tasks, such as viewing logs, can also be done in the Shuttle Console.
After installation, you will have two commands: shuttle and cargo shuttle.
  • shuttle is used for interacting with the shuttle.dev platform.
  • cargo shuttle is used for interacting with the shuttle.rs platform.
This documentation covers the shuttle.dev platform.
To get an overview of available commands, subcommands, and options, run: 
shuttle help
# or
shuttle <command> --help

Cookbook / Cheat Sheet

These are some useful sequences of commands that are handy to keep in your back pocket. For full documentation, use --help on the respective command. Use the global --debug flag to print detailed debug output.

  • shuttle deploy: Deploy the project to Shuttle.
  • shuttle deploy --no-follow: Don’t poll deployment state. Alias: --nf.
  • shuttle deploy --secrets <file>: Use a non-default secrets file for this deployment.

  • --name <name> to specify project name explicitly (see Project).
  • --id <id> to specify project id explicitly (see Project).

  • shuttle deployment stop: Stop any currently running deployments.
  • shuttle deployment redeploy: Redeploy the latest deployment without building.
  • shuttle deployment redeploy [id]: Redeploy the specified deployment id without building.
