Tools (184)

  • set_api_key

    Set your BorealHost API key for this session. Call this if you already have an API key (from checkout completion, the BorealHost panel, or a container claim). All subsequent tool calls will use this key for authentication. Args: api_key: Your BorealHost API key (format: bh_<48 hex chars>) Returns: {"success": true, "message": "API key set for this session", "key_prefix": "bh_..."}

  • whoami

    Check the current API key's account info, scopes, and site count. Requires: BOREALHOST_API_KEY env var (read scope). Returns: {"user": {"id": "uuid", "email": "...", "date_joined": "iso8601"}, "api_key": {"id": "uuid", "name": "...", "prefix": "bh_...", "scopes": ["read", "write"], "created_at": "iso8601"}, "account": {"sites": 2, "active_subscriptions": 1}} Errors: UNAUTHORIZED: Missing or invalid API key

  • request_api_key

    Request an API key for a site YOU ARE RUNNING ON (challenge-response). ⚠ ONLY USE THIS IF YOU ARE EXECUTING INSIDE THAT SITE'S OWN CONTAINER. If you bought or ordered the site from somewhere else, this is the wrong tool: it returns "pending" and the pending never resolves, because the proof it asks for is a file you cannot reach. Use `get_checkout_status(checkout_id)` on the checkout that paid for the site — that hands over the site-scoped key over plain HTTP with no container access. The refusal and the pending response both name it under `alternative` when one is available. Two-step verification flow: 1. A claim token is written into that site's container, at the per-site path the response gives you in `claim_path` (mode 600, owner admin — readable only from on the container). Do not hardcode the path. 2. Read that file and call claim_api_key(token) within 1 hour Refused for sites on SHARED containers. One container there serves up to 40 customers behind one agent, so readin

  • claim_api_key

    Claim an API key using a claim token from the container. After calling request_api_key(), read the claim token from the path that call returned in `claim_path`, on that site's container, and pass it here. The token is single-use — once claimed, it cannot be used again. The API key is automatically activated for this MCP session. Args: claim_token: The claim token string read from the container file Returns: {"api_key": "bh_...", "key_prefix": "bh_...", "site_slug": "my-site", "scopes": ["read", "write"], "message": "API key created and activated..."} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid, expired, or already-claimed token

  • list_plans

    List available hosting plans with pricing and resources. No authentication needed. Args: track: Filter by plan track. Valid values: "single_site", "agency". ⚠ The track is not the site count — most plans on BOTH tracks include several sites (site_starter 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12). Read `max_sites` on the plan, and use add_site() to fill a slot. Leave empty to list all tracks. include_deprecated: Include deprecated plans (default: false) Returns: [{"slug": "site_starter", "name": "Starter", "track": "single_site", "hosting_type": "shared", "price": {"monthly": 5, "annual": 2, "currency": "CAD"}, "resources": null, "features": {"max_sites": 1, "ai_modules": [...], "ai_agents": [], "free_domain_annual": false}}, ...]

  • create_checkout

    Start a new checkout session to purchase a hosting plan. No authentication needed. After creating, call update_checkout to set buyer info, then complete_checkout to pay. The response carries a `checkout_secret`, returned ONCE, that every later step of this checkout requires. It is held in memory for this MCP session and sent automatically — but it is gone if the server restarts. If a session key is set, the checkout is owned by that account and the API key authorizes the later steps on its own, which is the durable path. Args: sku: Plan SKU in format bh_{plan_slug}_{monthly|annual}. Examples: "bh_site_starter_monthly", "bh_site_pro_annual", "bh_site_managed_monthly", "bh_site_business_annual". Call list_plans() to discover all available plan slugs. Returns: {"id": "uuid", "sku": "bh_site_starter_monthly", "plan_slug": "site_starter", "billing_period": "monthly", "status": "not_ready", "buyer_email": "", "requested_slug": "", "create

  • update_checkout

    Set buyer email and desired site slug on a checkout session. The checkout must be in "not_ready" status. Setting requested_slug transitions status to "ready" (required before completing). Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID from create_checkout buyer_email: Optional email — if omitted, a synthetic agent identity (agent-{uuid}@api.borealhost.ai) is created at completion requested_slug: Desired site identifier. Must be 3-50 chars, lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, cannot start/end with hyphen. Must be globally unique. site_type: What the docroot should serve — wordpress (default), php, php-nodb or static-site. ⚠ Set it HERE: the checkout locks once buyer info is set, so choosing later means provisioning a WordPress you then convert away from, abandoning its tree in the docroot and paying a minute of provisioning for nothing. Returns: {"id": "uuid", "sku": "...", "plan_slug":

  • complete_checkout

    Complete checkout with payment and start site provisioning. The checkout must be in "ready" status. Two payment methods: - "stripe_checkout" (default): Returns a short, chat-safe payment URL. **Present `payment_url` to the human — NOT `stripe_checkout_url`.** The raw Stripe URL has a required `#fragment` that chat UIs routinely strip when rendering markdown links, which causes Stripe to show "page not found". `payment_url` is a short BorealHost redirect that preserves the fragment via HTTP 302. After paying, the human lands on a confirmation page (`confirmation_url`) — not on raw JSON. Then poll get_checkout_status() until status becomes "completed". The API key appears in the first poll after payment (shown once, then cleared). Payment provisions the site; nothing else has to be called to create it. - "stripe_payment_method": Charges a Stripe PaymentMethod directly. Requires payment_method_id. On success, returns the API key immediately. Args: checkout_id: C

  • get_checkout_status

    Poll a checkout session for status updates. Call this after complete_checkout to track payment and provisioning. Polling strategy: - First 60 seconds: every 5 seconds - After 60 seconds: every 15 seconds - Stop after 10 minutes if not completed Checkout statuses (in order): - "not_ready": Missing required fields (slug) - "ready": All fields set, awaiting payment - "awaiting_payment": Stripe checkout page opened, waiting for human - "in_progress": Payment received, site being provisioned - "completed": Site ready — API key included (shown once, then cleared) - "canceled": Checkout was abandoned - "failed": Payment or provisioning failed Terminal statuses: "completed", "canceled", "failed". Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID Returns (when completed): {"id": "uuid", "status": "completed", "api_key": "bh_...", "api_key_message": "Store this API key securely...", "api_key_pending": false, "subscription_id": "uuid", "subscription_status": "active", "site

  • list_checkouts

    List checkouts belonging to the authenticated account. Requires: API key. Only checkouts with a recorded owner appear — every checkout created while authenticated, plus every checkout that reached payment. An anonymous checkout whose one-shot secret was lost cannot be listed; create checkouts authenticated to keep them addressable. Args: status: Optional filter — "not_ready", "ready", "awaiting_payment", "completed", "canceled", "failed". Returns: {"checkouts": [{...same shape as get_checkout_status...}], "note": "..."}

  • cancel_checkout

    Abandon an unpaid checkout and expire its Stripe payment link. Use this to clean up abandoned attempts rather than leaving them to sit. A completed checkout is never cancelled here — that would be a refund, and it is refused. Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID Returns: The checkout, with status "canceled". Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Checkout was already paid — cancel the subscription from the panel instead FORBIDDEN: Missing checkout_secret and no owning API key

  • add_site

    Provision a site into a slot a plan you ALREADY PAY FOR includes. Two different things can be meant by "create a site". Buying one is the checkout flow (create_checkout → update → complete). This is the other: most plans include several sites, and this uses one of them at no extra cost. site_starter includes 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12, and the agency plans more. `whoami` and `list_sites` show what the account already holds. ⚠ Prefer this over buying a second subscription when a slot is free. Sites under ONE subscription share one CPU pool, one disk quota and one rate-limit bucket — that shared budget is what the plan sells. Two subscriptions split it, so the customer pays twice for capacity they had. Requires: API key with write scope, on the account that owns the plan. Args: slug: Sub-domain for the new site (lowercase, digits, hyphens) subscription_id: The subscription whose slot to use client_name: Display name for the site (optional) domain: Custom domain; defa

  • set_site_type

    Change what a site's docroot IS, without deleting anything. Types: wordpress WordPress, PHP and a database (the default) php PHP and a database, no WordPress php-nodb PHP, no database static-site HTML/CSS/JS only, no PHP and no database ⚠ NON-DESTRUCTIVE. Existing files stay on disk and existing databases are not dropped. They remain the customer's data and keep counting against their plan's quota — this changes how the site is SERVED, not what it holds. Converting back later finds everything where it was. ⚠ Moving to a type without PHP does not merely stop executing .php — it stops serving them. The vhost returns 404 for php/phtml, because falling through to the static handler would return the file's SOURCE, and a docroot converted from WordPress still contains wp-config.php with the database password in it. Shared hosting only. On a VPS the whole container is the customer's and they reconfigure it with the tools inside it. Requires: API key with write sc

  • get_wallet

    The account's prepaid balance, and what THIS key may spend from it. Two ceilings, and both apply: the balance bounds the ACCOUNT, the allowance bounds this KEY within it. Plan against `spendable_cents`, which is the lower of the two — a $50 balance behind a $5 allowance means $5, and planning against the balance is planning a purchase that gets refused. `can_spend: false` with a non-zero balance is normal and means this key has no budget allocated. That is not a bug: a key with no allowance may not spend the account's money, which is the whole reason allowances exist. Ask the human to allocate one in the panel (Compte → Clés API). Read-only. Money goes in through a human — an agent able to top up its own budget does not have one. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"currency": "CAD", "balance_cents": 5000, "spendable_cents": 500, "can_spend": true, "key_allowance": {"limit_cents": 2000, "spent_cents": 1500, "remaining_cents": 500}} To

  • get_site_status

    Get detailed status of a hosted site including resources, domains, and modules. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier (the slug chosen during checkout) Returns: {"slug": "my-site", "plan": "site_starter", "status": "active", "domains": ["my-site.borealhost.ai"], "modules": {...}, "resources": {"memory_mb": 512, "cpu_cores": 1, "disk_gb": 10}, "created_at": "iso8601"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug or not owned by this account

  • manage_dns

    Create or delete DNS records for a site. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier action: "create" or "delete" record_type: "A", "AAAA", "CNAME", "MX", "TXT", or "SRV" subdomain: Subdomain part (e.g. "www", "mail"). Leave empty for the apex/root domain. value: Record value. Required for "create". Examples: A: "1.2.3.4", CNAME: "example.com", MX: "mail.example.com", TXT: "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all" The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service. Returns: {"success": true, "record": {"type": "A", "subdomain": "www", "value": "1.2.3.4"}} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Missing value for create, invalid record type NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug

  • install_app

"none", "mysql", or "postgresql" (depends on template) domain: Custom domain override (default: {app_name}.{site_domain}) display_name: Human-friendly name (default: derived from app_name) Returns: {"id": "uuid", "app_name": "myapp", "status": "installing", "message": "Installation started. Poll for progress."} Errors: FORBIDDEN: Plan does not support apps (shared plans) VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid template, app_name, or duplicate name

  • get_app_status

  • execute_query

    Run ONE bounded read against a site's database. One statement, beginning with SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN, with no second statement and no data-modifying clause anywhere in it. The container proves the statement is a read before running it and caps the result: 200 rows by default, 1000 maximum, 2 MB of cell data. `truncated` in the response says whether a cap was reached. ⚠ THIS TOOL CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING, AND RETRYING WITH DIFFERENT WORDING WILL NOT MAKE IT. Anything that is not a single bounded read is refused with READ_ONLY and nothing runs. To change data or schema, use the tool for the job: optimize_database, database_search_replace, manage_db_user, list_databases, list_tables — and for creating, altering, dropping, importing or exporting tables, the database manager in the control panel, which has no tool here. Requires: API key with write scope (unchanged — the scope is the customer's published permission for this operation, not a claim about what it does). Args:

  • list_port_forwards

    List ports published from this site's container to the public internet. These are iptables DNAT rules on the node, NOT the IP allow/deny rules that add_firewall_rule manages — those two tools do unrelated things and neither substitutes for the other. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier Returns: {"port_forwards": [{"id": "...", "external_port": 3478, "internal_port": 3478, "protocol": "udp", "status": "active", "public_address": "203.0.113.5:3478", "port_preserved": true}], "limit": 15, "port_budget": 7680, "ports_used": 1, "max_range_ports": 1024, "public_ip": "203.0.113.5"}

  • add_port_forward

    Publish a container port on the node's public IP (TCP or UDP). This is how inbound UDP reaches a container. There is no other way: the container's own address is private, and the IP allow/deny rules of add_firewall_rule cannot route anything. PORT PRESERVATION MATTERS. Leave external_port at 0 and a port is allocated from 10000-19999 — your service becomes reachable, but on a DIFFERENT number. That is fine for HTTP or ssh and broken for every protocol that carries its own port inside the payload: STUN, TURN, RTP/WebRTC, SIP, WireGuard, QUIC. For those, pass external_port equal to internal_port. A media server needs a contiguous span, not one port — pass internal_port_end. A span is always published unchanged and counts as ONE rule against your limit. Some ports are refused because the host or its neighbours already answer on them: 22, 80, 443, 2222, 9201, 51820, and the bands 9210-9250, 9310-9350 and 20000-20099. The last one is why the "forward UDP 20000-20999 for Janus" recipe pr

  • remove_port_forward

    Stop publishing a port, by the rule id from list_port_forwards. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier forward_id: Rule id (uuid) from list_port_forwards Returns: {"removed": true, "forward_id": "..."}

  • get_logs

    Retrieve container logs (error, access, or PHP). Requires: API key with read scope.

  • search_domain

    Check domain availability and get pricing. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com", "mybiz.ca") Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "available": true, "registration_estimate_cad": "15.99", "currency": "CAD", "price_cad_includes_privacy": false, "total_cad": null, "quote_required": true} Note: .ca domains require ca_legal_type when registering.

  • register_domain

    Register a new domain with WHOIS contact info and Stripe billing. First request a quote (quote_only=True), present registration_cad, privacy_cad, total_cad, term and privacy choice, and obtain customer consent. Then repeat the same input with quote_only=False and the quote_token. Never automatically accept a replacement token after a price change. Included annual registration covers registration only; selected privacy uses the same BoC daily USD/CAD rate, rounded to CAD cents, no markup. Registration/renewal convert their actual operation-specific USD cost first, then apply 10% and round up to CAD .95. Rates older than four days refuse. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: whois_privacy: Explicit privacy choice; defaults selected only for supported paid TLDs. quote_only: True returns a quote without registration or payment. quote_token: Signed five-minute quote accepted by the customer. domain: Full domain name (e.g. "example.ca", "mybusiness.com") first_nam

  • add_subdomain

    Create and route a subdomain of a site-linked domain. Creates the DNS A record (if absent) pointing at the site's server, then configures the nginx vhost and SSL certificate on that server. The domain must already be linked to a site (see link_domain). Idempotent: if the DNS record already exists and points at the site's server, the nginx/SSL steps are (re)applied — safe to re-call, e.g. to retry SSL after DNS propagation. May take up to 3 minutes when a certificate is issued. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Registrable domain linked to a site (e.g. "example.com") subdomain: Subdomain label only, no dots (e.g. "blog") Returns: {"fqdn": "blog.example.com", "domain": "example.com", "site": "my-site", "message": "..."} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain not linked to a site, invalid label, or an existing record points at a different server

  • delete_subdomain

    Remove a subdomain: its DNS record, nginx vhost and certificate. The inverse of add_subdomain. Removes the DNS record AND the server-side vhost and cert, so the name stops resolving and stops being served. Nothing else on the domain is touched. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Registrable domain linked to a site (e.g. "example.com") subdomain: Subdomain label only, no dots (e.g. "blog") Returns: {"fqdn": "blog.example.com", "domain": "example.com", "removed": ["dns", "vhost", "cert"], "message": "..."} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or subdomain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain not linked to a site, or invalid label

  • link_domain

    Link a domain to a hosted site. Attaches the domain to the specified site and triggers automatic DNS configuration and SSL provisioning. WARNING: Regenerates this site's nginx vhost on the host from scratch. Any config applied to that vhost by hand is lost, silently — the site keeps serving and only the hand-added behaviour disappears. Config set via the nginx-snippet endpoint is NOT affected: it lives in a separate file the regenerated vhost re-includes, which is what that endpoint is for. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") site_slug: Site identifier to link the domain to Returns: {"success": true, "domain": "example.com", "linked_site": "my-site", "message": "Domain linked"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or site not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain already linked to another site

  • get_site_nginx_snippet

    Read the custom nginx config for a domain on the BorealHost host proxy. Your site sits behind a BorealHost reverse proxy that terminates TLS and forwards to your container. This returns the custom nginx block applied to that proxy for this domain (empty if you have not set one). Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "content": "location ...", "exists": true} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain is not linked to a site

  • set_site_nginx_snippet

    Set custom nginx config on the BorealHost host proxy — WebSocket, timeouts, headers. Use this when configuring your container's own nginx is not enough because something in front of it is interfering. The host proxy sits between the internet and your container, and by default its catch-all `location /` does not do anything special per-site. WEBSOCKETS: if your WebSocket endpoint returns 400 through your domain but upgrades correctly (101) when tested inside your container, the Upgrade header is being dropped in front of you. Add a location block that relays it: location ^~ /your/ws/path/ { proxy_pass <your site's existing upstream>; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_read_timeout 3600; proxy_send_timeout 3600; error_page 502 503 504 =502; } When testing with curl, force HTTP/1.1 (curl --http1.1). A WebSocket handshake uses the Upgrade header, whi

  • set_domain_usage

    Set what a registered domain points at — a site, someone else's nameservers, our DNS with no site, or a redirect to another URL. Use this to park a domain, hand it to an external host, or forward it. Switching modes tears down the previous one (a forwarded domain that becomes a site domain loses its redirect, and vice versa). Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") usage_mode: "site" — link it to a hosted site (needs site_slug); "external_ns" — delegate to the customer's own nameservers (needs nameservers), we stop managing its DNS entirely; "dns_only" — our nameservers, records edited by hand, nothing served; "forward" — our nameservers plus an HTTP redirect to forward_url (needs forward_url) site_slug: Site to link to, when usage_mode="site" nameservers: Ordered list of 2–6 nameserver hostnames, when u

  • domain_settings

Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") auto_renew: Optional bool enabling/disabling automatic renewal whois_privacy: Optional bool. False disables saved proxy service. Paid activation via True is refused; request an activation quote through Support. locked: Optional bool enabling/disabling registrar lock (prevents unauthorized transfers) Returns: {"success": true, "domain": "example.com", "auto_renew": true, "whois_privacy": true, "locked": true} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found or not owned by account

  • resend_registrant_verification

    Request OpenSRS verification email to its existing owner contact. Requires a write-scope API key and an owned registered/transferred domain. Call only when the customer requests a resend. No recipient override. Returns domain, send_acknowledged, inbox_delivery_confirmed (always false), registrant_verified, and the refreshed registrant_verification snapshot. A send acknowledgement confirms neither inbox delivery nor verification; status can remain unknown if the subsequent status refresh fails. PROVIDER_REFUSED (502) means no email should be assumed sent. CONFLICT (409) means another resend is in progress; RATE_LIMITED (429) has Retry-After 3600. Never automatically retry a refused, busy or throttled resend.

  • list_domain_dns

    List all DNS records for a domain. Returns DNS records at the domain level (independent of site-level manage_dns). Use this for domains that may not be linked to a site. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") Returns: [{"id": "record-id", "type": "A", "subdomain": "www", "value": "1.2.3.4"}] The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service. Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found or not owned by account

Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") record_type: "A", "AAAA", "CNAME", "MX", "TXT", or "SRV" value: Record value (e.g. "1.2.3.4" for A, "mail.example.com" for MX) subdomain: Subdomain part (e.g. "www", "mail"). Empty for apex domain. priority: MX priority (required for MX records) The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service.

  • launch_compute_instance

    Launch an on-demand hourly compute instance (Canada, CAD). Billing starts at launch (per minute, 1-hour minimum) and runs until terminate_compute_instance — stopping does NOT stop the charge. Every instance has a hard TTL (max_lifetime_hours, default 72h) after which it is auto-terminated. Usage is metered onto your existing BorealHost subscription; an active subscription is required. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: instance_type: From list_compute_types, e.g. "lsw.c3.large" image_id: From list_compute_images, e.g. "UBUNTU_24_04_64BIT" name: Optional label for the instance ssh_public_key: Public key installed as root access.

    List your on-demand compute instances with month-to-date spend. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"instances": [...], "month_to_date_spend_cad": 12.34, "monthly_spend_cap_cad": 500.0}

  • get_compute_instance

    Get live details for a compute instance (state, public IP, accrued cost). State is synced from the cloud provider on each call. SSH as root once state is "running" and public_ip is set. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: instance_id: Instance UUID from launch_compute_instance / list Returns: {"id", "state", "public_ip", "hourly_price_cad", "accrued_cad", "terminate_after", ...}

  • start_compute_instance

    Start a stopped compute instance. Requires: API key with write scope.

  • stop_compute_instance

    Stop a compute instance. WARNING: hourly billing continues while stopped. Use terminate_compute_instance to stop the charges permanently. Requires: API key with write scope.

  • reboot_compute_instance

    Reboot a running compute instance. Requires: API key with write scope.

  • terminate_compute_instance

    Permanently terminate a compute instance — this stops hourly billing. The instance and its disk are destroyed and cannot be recovered. Copy any results off the instance before terminating. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: Final instance dict with state "terminated" and total accrued_cad.

  • list_compute_volumes

    List your compute volumes — machines that survive instance termination. A volume is a whole machine (packages, drivers, services, users, data) stored in Canada. Detaching destroys the instance but keeps the machine; attaching restores it onto a fresh instance, optionally of a DIFFERENT type. That is how you move a workload from a small CPU box to a big GPU box without rebuilding it. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"volumes": [{"id", "name", "state", "instance_type", "stored_gb", "has_snapshot", "instance": {...} or null}, ...], "price_cad_per_gb_month": 0.03} state is one of: creating, attached, detaching, detached, attaching, error. Only "attached" has a running instance you can log into.

  • get_compute_volume

    Get a volume's live state, its instance, and its monthly storage cost. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: Volume dict plus "monthly_storage_cad". After attach, poll this until instance.state is "running" — then allow a few more minutes for the restore to finish and the machine to reboot into itself.

  • create_compute_volume

    Create a persistent machine and boot its first instance. Start here, then set the machine up however you like (install packages, drivers, models). Everything you do becomes part of the volume the first time you detach or snapshot it. While attached you pay hourly compute; while detached you pay only for stored bytes (CA$0.03/GB/month). Stopping an instance does NOT save money on this provider — detaching is what stops the compute charge. Requires: API key with write scope, and an active subscription. Args: name: Label for the volume, e.g. "trainer" image_id: From list_compute_images, e.g. "UBUNTU_24_04_64BIT". Cannot change later — restores must land on the same OS. instance_type: From list_compute_types, e.g. "lsw.g6.xlarge". CAN change on every later attach. ssh_public_key: Required. Volume instances always boot via cloud-init, so this is the only way in. root_disk_size: GB. Defaults to the type's minimum (o

  • adopt_compute_instance

    Turn an instance you are ALREADY running into a persistent volume. Use this when you launched something, set it up, and then decided you want to keep it. Nothing reboots and no data moves — the machine you have becomes the volume, and you can detach it afterwards to stop paying for compute while keeping the machine. Beats creating a volume and rebuilding. Only instances launched with an ssh_public_key qualify. One launched with your own user_data carries only your key, and a key cannot be added to a machine we cannot already log into — check "managed_ssh" on the instance. Requires: API key with write scope, and an active subscription. Args: instance_id: A running lsw.* instance you own name: Label for the volume (defaults to the instance name) Returns: Volume dict with state "attached", wrapping that same instance. No snapshot exists yet — the first one is taken on detach or snapshot. Errors: CONFLICT: Not running, already a volume, BorealHost Metal, or launch

  • detach_compute_volume

    Queue: snapshot the machine, verify it, then destroy the instance. This is how you stop paying for compute while keeping your work. ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "detaching" — it does NOT mean the detach finished. The capture takes minutes (roughly 1 min per 10 GB plus verification), so it runs in a background worker. Poll get_compute_volume until state is "detached" (done) or "error" (failed). Safety: if the snapshot or its verification fails, the instance is left RUNNING and the volume goes to state "error". Your data is never traded for a tidy state machine. Retry the detach once you have fixed the cause. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: Volume dict with state "detaching". Poll for the outcome.

  • attach_compute_volume

    Restore a detached volume onto a fresh instance — optionally a new type. Pass a different instance_type to move the same machine to different hardware: this is the closest thing to changing instance type that the provider allows, since it has no resize API at all. The restore runs at first boot and the machine reboots into itself, so the instance answers SSH BEFORE it is ready. Poll get_compute_volume and give it a few minutes (measured: ~6 min for a 10 GB GPU machine end to end). The machine keeps its SSH host keys, so your client will not warn about a changed host identity. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: volume_id: A volume in state "detached" ssh_public_key: Required — installed via cloud-init at boot instance_type: Defaults to the type it last ran on root_disk_size: GB. May grow, never shrink below the volume's size. Returns: Volume dict with state "attached" and a new instance. Errors: CONFLICT: Volume is not detached, or has no snapshot y

  • snapshot_compute_volume

    Queue a checkpoint snapshot without detaching — before a risky change. ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "snapshotting"; poll get_compute_volume until it is back to "attached" (done) or "error". Named systemd units are stopped for the capture so the snapshot is application-consistent (a live database directory copied mid-write is not reliably restorable). The worker restarts nothing — reboot or start them yourself afterwards. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: volume_id: A volume in state "attached" quiesce_units: Services to stop during capture, e.g. ["ollama.service", "postgresql.service"] Returns: Volume dict with state "snapshotting". Poll for the outcome.

  • delete_compute_volume

    Permanently delete a volume and everything stored in it. Irreversible: the instance is released AND the stored data is purged from object storage, so billing genuinely stops. Refuses while an instance is live unless force=True, so a running machine's only copy cannot be destroyed by reflex. Requires: API key with admin scope. Returns: {"id", "state": "deleted"}

  • container_action

    Start, stop, or restart a site's container. Only for plans with a dedicated container (VPS / split-VPS / dedicated). Shared-hosting sites share a container and cannot restart it. The response reports the observed container state after the action. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier action: "start", "stop", or "restart" Returns: {"site", "action", "status": "running|stopped", "observed": true} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Shared-hosting plan or unknown action

  • set_backup_retention

    Set the backup retention policy for a VPS site. Storage is billed on real stored bytes, so deeper history costs the customer, not the platform. Values are clamped to platform bounds; the response reports what was actually stored. Pass -1 to leave a knob unchanged, or reset=true to restore defaults. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"site", "retention": {...}}

Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"engine", "action", "result": {...}}

  • transfer_out_domain

    Prepare a domain to transfer to another registrar. Unlocks the domain and emails the EPP/auth code to the registrant contact on file (BorealHost never sees the code). The domain keeps working here until the transfer completes. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"domain", "unlocked": true, "auth_code_emailed": true, "message"}

  • enable_wildcard

    Route *.domain (every subdomain) to the domain's linked site. Creates a wildcard DNS record and issues a wildcard certificate via ACME DNS-01. SLOW — DNS propagation is part of the challenge, expect 2-5 minutes. Requires the domain to be linked to a site and its DNS hosted by BorealHost. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"domain", "wildcard", "site", "ssl_active", "not_after"}

  • upload_ssl_cert
