fly workers

To list the currently registered workers, including additional metadata, run:

$ fly -t example workers

This can be useful for monitoring the status of your workers, if you suspect that one keeps dropping out of the pool or getting tasked with too many containers, etc.

fly prune-worker

To remove a stalled, landing, landed, or retiring worker, run:

$ fly -t example prune-worker --worker worker-name

To prune all stalled workers, run:

$ fly -t example prune-worker --all-stalled

This is for those cases where you know a worker is not coming back. Note that running workers cannot be pruned, since they'll just re-register themselves anyway.

fly land-worker

To initiate landing of a worker and eventually (after draining) cause it to exit, run:

$ fly -t example land-worker --worker worker-name

fly containers

To list the active containers across all your workers, run:

$ fly -t example containers

This can be useful when discovering the containers available for fly intercepting.

fly volumes

To list the active volumes across all your workers, run:

$ fly -t example volumes

This can be useful to observe the caches warming across your cluster, and could be a good indicator of disk use.

fly curl

To execute an arbirary API request, you can run something like the following:

$ fly -t example curl /api/v1/info

This command is just a shim that runs curl under the hood. To pass flags to curl, pass a -- argument after the path so that fly can distinguish them from its own flags:

$ fly -t example curl /api/v1/builds -- \
    -X PUT \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d @plan.json

Note: if you use this command the assumption is that you know what you're doing. If you find yourself using this command often, let us know - perhaps there's a missing command!
