manager-app-cli is a powerful CLI tool that allows you to manage all your scripts and web applications in a beautiful, interactive terminal interface. Instead of dealing with complex pm2 commands, control everything via an intuitive dashboard!

✨ Features

• 🖥️ Beautiful GUI: Interactive terminal dashboard with status indicators (🟢 Online, 🔴 Error, 🟡 Starting).
• 🚀 Auto-Detect: Easily add projects with /add index.js – the CLI automatically detects whether it's Node, Next.js, Python, or Java.
• 📁 Workspaces: Group your projects into workspaces (e.g., "Backend", "Frontend") for maximum overview.
• 🔄 Background Daemon: All your processes continue to run 100% isolated and secure in a user-specific background daemon via Unix Sockets, even if you close the CLI.
• ⚡ Autostart: Mark important projects as "Startup" so they automatically boot up when the server starts.
• 📜 Live Logs: Stream logs in real-time directly in the CLI.
• 🤖 Headless Mode: Fully controllable via classic Bash commands (perfect for CI/CD scripts).

📦 Installation

Install the package globally via npm:

npm install -g manager-app-cli

🚀 Getting Started

Simply start the interactive dashboard by typing the name in your console:

manager-app-cli

Adding a Project

You can add projects directly from the terminal or within the dashboard:

manager-app-cli add index.js -name "My Backend"

💻 Essential Commands (Headless / GUI)

You can enter all commands directly in the interactive menu starting with a /, or type them classically into the terminal:

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | add <file> | Adds a new project (Auto-detects JS/PY/Java) | | start <id/name> | Starts a specific project | | stop <id/name> | Stops a project | | restart <id/name>| Restarts a project | | logs <id/name> | Shows the live logs of the project | | delete <id/name> | Deletes a project from the manager | | project <id> "Name"| Moves a project into a new/existing workspace | | startup <id> on/off| Toggles automatic autostart for this project |

(Tip: Type /help in the GUI to browse through all commands!)

🛠️ Advanced Features

Workspaces

Keep your system tidy. You can use the [TAB] key to switch between different workspaces (folders) in the GUI at any time.

User Isolation

The background daemon runs extremely securely via a Unix Domain Socket (~/.manager-cli/data.sock). Every Linux user on your server has their own completely isolated Manager Daemon.

Error Detection

The system automatically scans the output of your scripts. If a crash or severe error occurs, the status indicator changes to 🔴 ERROR, so you can instantly see which project is having issues.

🌍 Multilingual

The CLI is bilingual! Type /lang de or /lang en in the dashboard to switch between German and English.
