Digi Control documentation
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
- Run dctl locally.
- Select a module in the left pane.
- Open actions with Enter/F3.
- 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.
