Profiles

Setting up a profile

1. Run cx config create <name> where <name> is your chosen profile name
2. Run cx config use <name> to switch to the new profile and initialize it by running cx stacks list
3. Authenticate using your browser (be sure to log into the correct account)

For more detailed help on installation please refer to our Getting Started guide.

Switching between profiles

To switch between profiles, use cx config use <name>

All commands from that point onwards will run against the <name> profile. This is persisted between different terminal sessions until it's changed.

Setting Profile per command

If you would like to run a command with a different profile other than the current profile, you can use the --profile argument with all commands:

cx --profile NAME stacks list

Using profiles with organizations

When you create a profile you can specify the organization to which this new profile should be linked. For example:

cx config create hobby --org my_private_sandbox

...will create a profile named "hobby" that is linked to a Cloud 66 organization named "my_private_sandbox".

If you're unsure about the name of an organization you can run the cx info command and looking at the Name field. You can also see this by logging into your Dashboard, visiting Account Settings and clicking on Organisations in the Account panel on the left.
