Command Implementation Matrix

Spinifex Admin CLI

Platform management commands not exposed via the AWS gateway API. These are CLI-only commands.

Service Management

Service lifecycle commands for starting, stopping, and checking status of all Spinifex cluster services. Each service subcommand supports start, stop, and status operations.

Command	Flags	Description
spx service predastore start	--port (default: 8443), --host (default: 0.0.0.0), --base-path, --config-path, --debug, --tls-cert, --tls-key, --backend (distributed/filesystem, default: distributed), --node-id (default: 0), --pprof, --pprof-output	Creates predastore service instance with S3-compatible storage backend → starts service
spx service predastore stop	—	Stops the predastore service
spx service predastore status	—	Reports predastore service status
spx service viperblock start	--s3-host (default: 0.0.0.0:8443), --s3-bucket (default: predastore), --s3-region (default: ap-southeast-2), --plugin-path (auto-detected via nbdkit --dump-config plugindir; typically /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nbdkit/plugins/nbdkit-viperblock-plugin.so on amd64, overridable via SPINIFEX_VIPERBLOCK_PLUGIN_PATH in /etc/spinifex/systemd.env)	Loads cluster config → connects to NATS and Predastore → starts viperblock block storage service with NBD plugin

spx service nats stop	—	Stops the NATS service
spx service nats status	—	Reports NATS service status
spx service spinifex start	--wal-dir	Loads cluster config → starts spinifex daemon (VM orchestration, NATS subscriptions, health endpoint)
spx service spinifex stop	—	Stops the spinifex daemon service
spx service spinifex status	—	Reports spinifex daemon service status
spx service awsgw start	--host (default: 0.0.0.0:9999), --tls-cert, --tls-key, --debug	Loads cluster config → starts AWS-compatible gateway with SigV4 auth, IAM policy enforcement, TLS

spx service vpcd stop	—	Stops the vpcd service
spx service vpcd status	—	Reports vpcd service status

Cluster Inspection

Operational commands for inspecting cluster state. These fan out NATS requests to all nodes and aggregate responses.

Command	Flags	Description
spx get nodes	--timeout (default: 3s)	Loads config → publishes to spinifex.node.status fan-out topic → collects responses within timeout → merges config-known nodes with NATS responders → nodes that don't respond shown as NotReady
spx get vms	--timeout (default: 3s)	Publishes to spinifex.node.vms fan-out topic → collects VM info from all nodes → sorts by node then instance ID → prints table. Alias: spx get instances

Resource Monitoring

Command	Flags	Description
spx top nodes	--timeout (default: 3s)	Publishes to spinifex.node.status fan-out topic → collects CPU/memory usage per node → aggregates instance type capacity across all nodes → prints two tables: per-node resource usage and cluster-wide instance type availability

Cluster Initialization

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin init	--nodes, --node, --bind, --port, --region, --az, --cluster-name, --cluster-bind, --cluster-routes, --predastore-nodes, --services, --formation-timeout, --token-ttl, --force	Generates root IAM credentials (AKIA-prefixed access key + secret) → creates master.key (AES-256, 32 bytes, 0600) → writes bootstrap.json (consumed on first start) → generates CA + server TLS certificates → generates join token (written to join-token file, displayed in join command) → creates NATS config with auth token → writes spinifex.toml, awsgw.toml, predastore.toml → configures AWS CLI spx profile → creates directory structure under ~/spinifex/
spx admin join	--host (required), --node (required), --token (required), --bind, --port, --region, --az, --cluster-bind, --cluster-routes, --data-dir, --services	Connects to leader node with join token (Authorization: Bearer header) → retrieves cluster configuration → configures local node to join cluster and participate in distributed operations

Version

Command	Flags	Description
spx version	—	Prints Spinifex version, commit hash, OS, and architecture (populated via build-time ldflags)

Cluster Operations

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin cluster shutdown	--force (shutdown even if nodes don't respond), --timeout (max wait per phase, default 120s), --dry-run (print phase plan without executing)	Performs coordinated, phased shutdown of entire cluster. Phases execute in order: GATE (stop API/UI) → DRAIN (stop VMs) → STORAGE (stop viperblock) → PERSIST (stop predastore) → INFRA (stop NATS/daemon). Each phase waits for all nodes to ACK before proceeding. Uses JetStream state tracking.

Certificate Management

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin cert renew	--extra-ip (additional IPs for SANs), --extra-dns (additional DNS names for SANs)	Reads existing CA → regenerates server certificate with all current network interface IPs and machine hostname in SANs → writes new cert. Use after adding a new network interface or changing IP addresses.

Upgrade Management

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin upgrade	--yes (apply without prompting), --config-dir (persistent, default: ~/spinifex/config), --spinifex-dir (persistent, default: ~/spinifex)	Reads current config versions from registry → computes pending config migrations (from→to per target) → prints version summary and pending list → prompts for confirmation unless --yes → runs migrate.DefaultRegistry.RunAllConfig() to apply migrations to config files. Intended for upgrades between Spinifex versions. Operators can skip migrations during install by setting INSTALL_SPINIFEX_SKIP_MIGRATE=1, then run spx admin upgrade manually to review and apply. After completion, services must be restarted with sudo systemctl restart spinifex.target. Invoked non-interactively by scripts/setup.sh with --yes.

Account Management

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin account create	--name	Connects to NATS → CAS loop on spinifex-account-counter:next_id for sequential 12-digit ID → creates Account record in spinifex-accounts KV → creates admin user in new account → creates access key for admin → creates AdministratorAccess policy (Action:, Resource:) → attaches policy → prints credentials
spx admin account list	—	Connects to NATS → IAMService.ListAccounts() → prints table with Account ID, Name, Status, Created

Image Management

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin images import	--name, --file, --distro, --version, --arch, --platform, --boot-mode (bios/uefi/uefi-preferred), --tag, --force, --skip-verify	Catalog imports (--name) download the image, fetch the catalog Checksum URL, verify the SHA-256/SHA-512 digest, and inherit BootMode from the catalog entry. --boot-mode overrides the catalog value when set. Mismatch fails closed; the cached file is left on disk and --force re-downloads. --file imports skip checksum verification (operator-supplied media is outside Spinifex's trust boundary, the skip is logged at INFO for audit) and require an explicit --boot-mode because there is no catalog metadata to inherit from. --skip-verify bypasses verification for catalog imports and emits a WARN slog + stderr notice; use only for debugging or when upstream mirrors are confirmed-broken.
spx admin images list	—	Lists available OS images that can be imported or downloaded
spx admin images remove	--image-id (required), --force, --yes	Loads ami-<id>/config.json, walks transitive dependents — copied snapshots whose VolumeID == imageID, volumes whose SnapshotID references the internal snap-ami-<id> or any derived snap, and account AMIs created via CopyImage whose SnapshotID is a derived snap — then prompts (skipped with --yes) before deleting ami-<id>/config.json (the DescribeImages barrier) followed by the rest of ami-<id>/ and snap-ami-<id>/. Account-owned AMIs are refused with a hint pointing at aws ec2 deregister-image + aws ec2 delete-snapshot. --force bypasses the dependency, ownership and config-corrupt checks for salvage of orphaned blocks.

GPU Management

Command	Flags	Description
spx admin gpu status	--node (default: local node)	Queries spinifex.node.status fan-out → finds the target node response → prints Node, GPU hardware (model list or "none detected"), IOMMU state, vfio-pci state, passthrough enabled/disabled, and GPU pool allocation (allocated/total). Also lists GPU-capable instance types when passthrough is active.
spx admin gpu enable	—	Checks current passthrough state via NATS → errors if already enabled or prerequisites not met (directs to setup) → writes gpu_passthrough = true to spinifex.toml via admin.SetGPUPassthrough → sends SIGHUP to spinifex-daemon via systemctl kill -s HUP → polls node status for up to 30 s until daemon confirms new state → prints final gpu status output. Must be run directly on the target host.
spx admin gpu disable	—	Checks current passthrough state via NATS → errors if already disabled or if AllocGPUs > 0 (must terminate GPU instances first) → writes gpu_passthrough = false → sends SIGHUP to spinifex-daemon → polls for up to 30 s → prints final gpu status output. Must be run directly on the target host.
spx admin gpu setup	—	Idempotent host configuration for GPU passthrough. Steps (skipped if already applied): detect GPUs via gpu.Discover → collect PCI IDs for all IOMMU-group siblings → check/enable IOMMU in GRUB (intel_iommu=on iommu=pt or amd_iommu=on iommu=pt) → write vfio udev rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/99-spinifex-vfio.rules) → blacklist nouveau (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf) → blacklist amdgpu if AMD GPU present (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-amdgpu.conf) → write vfio-pci early binding config (/etc/modprobe.d/vfio-pci.conf) → add vfio modules to initramfs. If any change requires a reboot: runs update-initramfs -u and exits with reboot instructions. After reboot: verifies vfio_pci module is loaded → verifies each GPU is bound to vfio-pci (binds explicitly via driver_override if unbound) → calls gpu enable to activate passthrough.
spx admin gpu mig status	— (must be run on target host)	Runs gpu.Discover() locally → for each GPU prints: PCI address, model, MIG capability, MIG mode (enabled/disabled/N/A); for GPUs with MIG enabled lists active MIG slices with GI ID, profile name, and mdev path.
spx admin gpu mig enable	--profile <name> (required, e.g. 1g.10gb), --gpu <pci-addr> (optional, default: all MIG-capable GPUs)	Checks no GPU instances running (NATS) → discovers MIG-capable GPUs via gpu.Discover() (filtered by --gpu if set) → enables MIG mode on each target (gpu.EnableMIGMode) → lists available profiles (gpu.ListProfiles) and validates requested profile name → destroys any existing instances (gpu.DestroyAllInstances) → creates new instances filling GPU capacity (gpu.CreateInstances) → writes mig_profile to spinifex.toml via admin.SetMIGProfile → sends SIGHUP to spinifex-daemon. Must be run directly on the target host.
spx admin gpu mig disable	--gpu <pci-addr> (optional, default: all MIG-capable GPUs)	Checks no GPU instances running (NATS) → discovers MIG-capable GPUs via gpu.Discover() (filtered by --gpu if set) → destroys all GPU instances (gpu.DestroyAllInstances) → disables MIG mode (gpu.DisableMIGMode) → clears mig_profile in spinifex.toml via admin.SetMIGProfile → sends SIGHUP to spinifex-daemon. Must be run directly on the target host.

IMDS (Instance Metadata Service)

Available at 169.254.169.254 from inside every running guest VM, matching AWS. The endpoint is reached from within a guest over plain HTTP, exactly as on EC2, with no in-VM agent to install. DHCP and fully static guests reach it identically, with no in-guest route configuration.

IMDSv2-only. Every read requires a session token. A tokenless (v1-style) GET returns 401 Unauthorized with an empty body. Obtain a token with a PUT /latest/api/token carrying X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds (1–21600), then send it back in X-aws-ec2-metadata-token on every read.

# Inside the guest VM:
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" \
    -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 60")
curl -s -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" \
    http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

# Tokenless GET → 401 Unauthorized (empty body)
curl -i http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id
