- The commands listed in this article are intended to be used by network administrators that have knowledge of the Linux CLI.
Introduction
ATTENTION: Use the commands listed in this article with caution and only when there is a good reason to do so.
Below you will find some useful console commands for self-hosted UISP installations. You can use these commands to restart the UISP instance or restore a backup. Run all the commands listed in this article from a user account that has sudo privileges. Use the --help flag at the end of a command to list the available options.
Stopping and (re)starting UISP
Run the command below to restart/rebuild all UISP containers.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli restart
Run the command below to stop all UISP containers.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli stop
Run the command below to start all UISP containers.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli start
Set the Superadmin Role
The Superadmin role is necessary for access to the CRM module. The command below sets the specified user as a super admin.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-superadmin --username <username>
Running this command without the --username option will list all users that are currently set as super admin:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-superadmin
Recovering Passwords and Disabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
As a first step, we recommend creating a list of all users:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-password
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli disable-two-factor
After that, run this command for a specific username to change the password
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-password --username <username>
or run this command to disable two-factor authentication (2FA) for a specific user:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli disable-two-factor --username <username>
Refreshing the Let's Encrypt Certificate
This command refreshes the Let's Encrypt certificate.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli refresh-certificate
Reducing the Device Update Frequency
This command reduces the UISP device update frequency, which is helpful when your UISP instance is overloaded and it is not possible to log into the Web UI.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli reduce-device-update-frequency
Clearing and Restoring UISP and Device Backup Files
Use the following command to clear the backup files of devices that are connected to the UISP console (server):
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli clear-device-backups
Use the following command to restore the UISP server from a selected backup file.
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli restore-backup --file <backup-file>
NOTE: The most recent/latest automatic backup file is used if you do not specify the --file option.
Changing the Processor Worker Count
ATTENTION: The <count> value should not be higher than the actual number of available CPU cores. It is possible to set this value to auto in order to let UISP decide how many workers it needs. It is recommended to have at least 0.5 Gb (500Mb) of free RAM available for each worker.
Set the number of worker processes to the desired value (count) or use auto:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-workers <count>
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli set-workers auto
Whitelisting IP Addresses for the Web UI and API
The following commands will allow you to block access to the Network module of the UISP and specify a list of IP addresses that are allowed to access the Network module GUI and API.
Show the current whitelist:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli ip-whitelist --show
Create a new whitelist:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli ip-whitelist --set "203.0.113.1,198.51.100.0/25,2001:db8:12:34::/64"
Clear the whitelist to allow access from all addresses:
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli ip-whitelist --clear
NOTE: This only limits which users are allowed to connect to the Network module UI and API. Devices connecting to UISP are not affected by this whitelist.
