The dctl console — modes and purpose

Interactive local administration, text fallback and restricted direct software commands.

What it covers

  • Without arguments dctl opens the guided curses interface and is the primary console workflow.
  • For non-interactive/unsupported terminals it uses text fallback with modules, details and actions.
  • dctl is not a free-form root shell; every action is contract-bound, policy-checked and audited.
  • Specialised dctl-* entry points open the same interface at a specific domain.

How to use it

  1. Run dctl locally.
  2. Select a module in the left pane.
  3. Open actions with Enter/F3.
  4. Follow prompts, plan and confirmation.

Important rules

  • Direct arguments are only for supported software commands.
  • For WEB failure use dctl-runtime/dctl-diagnostics.
  • Text fallback has no interactive panes/function keys.
