Operations

Run operational commands from the tinymash runtime root with the operating-system user that owns the installation:

php8.4 bin/tinymash.php list

Use --help on a command for its arguments, options, constraints, and examples. See the CLI reference for the complete command list. A successful command exits with status 0; failures return a non-zero status.

Routine commands

  • system:status reports the current runtime.
  • content:publish-due activates due scheduled entries.
  • housekeeping:status reports housekeeping policy and last-run state.
  • housekeeping:run performs routine cleanup and active plugin housekeeping.
  • cache:clear clears compiled templates, indexes, and public response caches.
  • cache:warm prepares public listing caches.
  • media:usage reports known media references.
  • deploy:audit checks managed application files against a release manifest.

Mutating CLI commands should not run as root. Root execution requires confirmation or the explicit --allow-root override and can leave files with ownership that prevents later web writes.

The normal operating baseline is simple: real cron for scheduled work, writable runtime paths with correct ownership, protected logs and backups outside public/, a stable PHP session name, clean release replacement, and a verified recovery path.

Backups, log review, available disk space, PHP-FPM health, cron output, mail delivery, TLS, web-server authentication, and plugin queues remain operator responsibilities outside ordinary page requests.
