AEWeb CLI (Command-Line Interface)

Repository: https://github.com/archethic-foundation/aeweb-cli

This tool, built with NodeJS, can be used to deploy files and websites to the Archethic blockchain. Once installed, as instructed in the README, the aeweb command is available.

aeweb generate-address

This command is used to generate an address from a seed.

Use case

You might use this on TestNet for example, to determine an address to use the faucet on.

$ aeweb generate-address --seed myseedphrase --index 0
00005da88a4adaf5b40c958a20db981bd168008e03efbb7fc9d35e11be182a0d3065

aeweb deploy

This command is used to deploy the content of a folder or a single file. It will create the transactions, estimate the fees and, after confirmation, will write the transactions on the network.

Parameters:

• seed The keychain seed, used to prove you are the owner of the transaction chain used to pay the fees
• endpoint https://testnet.archethic.net | https://mainnet.archethic.net | http://127.0.0.1:4000
• path The path of the folder/file to upload

$ aeweb deploy --seed myseedphrase --endpoint https://testnet.archethic.net --path ./website

There Can Be Only One

There can only be a single deployment per seed. Which makes it possible to update it by running the exact same command. The endpoint of your deployment will not change.

If you need to deploy another website, use another seed (and transfer funds to it via the Wallet app).
