Administration

Palpo supports management and auditing through command-line tools. In the future, administrator APIs and UI interfaces are planned.

Launching the Management Console

You can start the interactive command-line console by running the following command in the directory where the palpo executable is located:

palpo --config palpo.toml --server false --console

Here, --config palpo.toml specifies the configuration file to use. If you are using the default palpo.toml in the current directory, you can omit this option.

--server false means the server will not start, and --console launches the interactive command-line console.

You can run palpo --help to see detailed usage instructions.

Note: On Windows, the executable is named palpo.exe.

Inside the interactive console, you can use the help command to view available management commands.

Palpo supports the following management commands:

  • appservie: Manage Appservie-related tasks
  • user: Manage local user-related tasks
  • room: Manage room-related tasks
  • federation: Manage Federation-related tasks
  • server: Manage server-related tasks
  • media: Manage media-related tasks
