Using the WildFly CLI
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
The WildFly Command Line Interface (CLI) is a versatile administration tool that provides both an interactive console and scripting capabilities for managing the WildFly application server. Users can connect to the CLI, which operates like a file system and allows navigation and configuration of the server's various aspects, using commands similar to those in Bash. The CLI supports multiple protocols, silent authentication, and various operations, such as reading and writing attributes or performing atomic batch operations. Users can script CLI commands for non-interactive execution, incorporating flow control statements like if/else and try/catch/finally for automation tasks. The CLI's functionality is enhanced with features like tab completion, multiline commands, and a GUI mode for a more visual navigation experience.
