Usage

The script is at scripts/ovh-cli.py. Commands:

# Account info
ovh-cli.py me

# Domains
ovh-cli.py domains                      # List all domains
ovh-cli.py domain <domain>              # Get domain info
ovh-cli.py domain <domain> renew        # Check renewal info

# DNS (OVH-managed zones, not Cloudflare)
ovh-cli.py dns <domain>                 # List DNS records
ovh-cli.py dns <domain> get <id>        # Get specific record
ovh-cli.py dns <domain> create --type A --subdomain www --target 1.2.3.4 [--ttl 300]
ovh-cli.py dns <domain> update <id> --target 5.6.7.8
ovh-cli.py dns <domain> delete <id>
ovh-cli.py dns <domain> refresh         # Refresh zone (apply changes)

# VPS
ovh-cli.py vps                          # List all VPS
ovh-cli.py vps <name>                   # VPS details
ovh-cli.py vps <name> status            # Current state
ovh-cli.py vps <name> reboot            # Reboot VPS
ovh-cli.py vps <name> start             # Start VPS
ovh-cli.py vps <name> stop              # Stop VPS
ovh-cli.py vps <name> ips               # List IPs

# Cloud Projects
ovh-cli.py cloud                        # List projects
ovh-cli.py cloud <project> instances    # List instances
ovh-cli.py cloud <project> instance <id> # Instance details

# Dedicated Servers
ovh-cli.py dedicated                    # List servers
ovh-cli.py dedicated <name>             # Server details
ovh-cli.py dedicated <name> reboot      # Reboot server

# SSL Certificates
ovh-cli.py ssl                          # List certificates
ovh-cli.py ssl <id>                     # Certificate details

# Bills & Orders
ovh-cli.py bills [--limit N]            # Recent bills
ovh-cli.py orders [--limit N]           # Recent orders

Common Patterns

Check domain expiry:

ovh-cli.py domain pushp.ovh renew

Add DNS record:

ovh-cli.py dns pushp.ovh create --type A --subdomain api --target 203.0.113.50
ovh-cli.py dns pushp.ovh refresh

Manage VPS:

ovh-cli.py vps myvps status
ovh-cli.py vps myvps reboot

Notes

• DNS changes require refresh to apply
• Use --json flag for machine-readable output
• Some operations are async; check status with subsequent calls
