## Overview
The `spx` binary is the central administration tool for managing your Spinifex infrastructure. It provides commands for cluster initialization, account management, node operations, VM lifecycle, and service control.
**Binary location:** `/usr/local/bin/spx` (binary install) or `~/Development/mulga/spinifex/bin/spx` (source install)
All services in the Spinifex platform are managed through this single binary.
## Instructions
## Account Management
Create a new isolated account with an admin user and AdministratorAccess policy:
```bash
spx admin account create --name myteam
export AWS_PROFILE=spinifex-myteam
```
List all accounts:
```bash
spx admin account list
```
## Node Management
List nodes in the cluster:
```bash
spx get nodes
```
```
NAME STATUS IP REGION AZ UPTIME VMs
node1 Ready 127.0.0.1 ap-southeast-2 ap-southeast-2a 2m 0
node2 Ready 127.0.0.2 ap-southeast-2 ap-southeast-2a 2m 0
node3 Ready 127.0.0.3 ap-southeast-2 ap-southeast-2a 2m 0
```
## Monitor Resources
```bash
spx top nodes
```
Prints per-node CPU/memory usage and cluster-wide instance type availability.
## Image Management
```bash
spx admin images list
spx admin images import --name debian-13-arm64
```
Catalog imports verify the image against the catalog-declared SHA-256/SHA-512 digest before extraction. Use `--file` to import operator-supplied media (verification skipped — operator is responsible for integrity), or `--force` to re-download after a checksum mismatch.
## Cluster Shutdown
Coordinated, phased shutdown of the entire cluster (API/UI → VMs → viperblock → predastore → NATS/daemon):
```bash
spx admin cluster shutdown
```
## Troubleshooting
### Permission Denied Running Spinifex
The binary may not be executable. Fix permissions:
```bash
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/spx
```
If you get permission errors during operations, ensure you're running with appropriate privileges. Some OVN and networking commands require `sudo`.
### Services Fail to Start
Check the daemon logs for specific errors via `systemctl`/`journalctl`:
```bash
systemctl status 'spinifex-*'
journalctl -u spinifex-daemon -f
journalctl -u 'spinifex-*' -f
```
Common causes include port conflicts, missing OVN configuration, or untrusted CA certificates.
