Lighthouse Cloud Server Operations

Manage Tencent Cloud Lighthouse instances via tccli CLI.

Your knowledge of tccli parameters and API limits may be outdated. Always use tccli <service> <action> --help to verify parameters before execution.

Prerequisites

tccli --version

If not installed: pip install tccli

Credential Setup

When the user has not chosen a method, default to OAuth.

OAuth Login (Recommended)

Use script/tccli-oauth-helper.sh for non-interactive OAuth login:

# Step 1: Check credential status
bash script/tccli-oauth-helper.sh --status

# Step 2: Generate authorization URL (if credentials are missing or expired)
bash script/tccli-oauth-helper.sh --get-url

# Step 3: User opens the URL in browser, completes login, and gets a base64 code

# Step 4: Complete login with the code
bash script/tccli-oauth-helper.sh --code "base64_code_from_browser"

# Step 5: Verify
tccli cvm DescribeRegions

Workflow:

1. Run --status to check existing credentials
2. If expired/missing, run --get-url — show the URL to user
3. User opens URL → logs in → copies the base64 code from browser
4. Run --code with the base64 code to complete login
5. Verify with tccli cvm DescribeRegions

Notes:

• Credentials are temporary (expires in ~2 hours)
• State is valid for 10 minutes after --get-url
• Do NOT use tccli sts GetCallerIdentity to verify — it does not support OAuth credentials

AK/SK Setup

Only if the user explicitly provides SecretId and SecretKey:

tccli configure set secretId <SecretId>
tccli configure set secretKey <SecretKey>
tccli configure set region ap-guangzhou

Logout

tccli auth logout

Quick Reference

Scenario Routing

Read the corresponding reference file before executing:

User wants to...
├─ Query / start / stop / reboot instances  -> references/instance-management.md
├─ Reset password / view blueprints         -> references/instance-management.md
├─ Deploy applications / verify deployment   -> references/application-deployment.md
├─ View CPU / memory / bandwidth metrics    -> references/monitoring-alerting.md
├─ Set up alarm policies                    -> references/monitoring-alerting.md
├─ Manage firewall rules                    -> references/firewall-management.md
├─ Execute commands on instance             -> references/remote-command-tat.md
├─ Create / restore snapshots               -> references/snapshot-blueprint.md
├─ Create custom images                     -> references/snapshot-blueprint.md
├─ Check traffic usage                      -> references/traffic-package.md
├─ Identify current instance (ID / IP)      -> bash script/whoami.sh [--id | --ip]
└─ Other operations                         -> tccli lighthouse --help

Operation Safety

Rules:

1. Region is required for all operations except DescribeRegions
2. Query before modify — always Describe first, never blind Create / Delete
3. Use real IDs — get InstanceId from DescribeInstances, never use placeholders
4. Verify parameters — run --help when unsure about parameter names or formats
5. Lighthouse and CVM are separate products — do NOT mix their APIs
6. Create means new — when user asks to "create" / "deploy" / "set up" something (e.g., "create a server", "deploy an app"), create a NEW instance by default. Do NOT use existing instances unless the user explicitly specifies an existing instance ID.

Common Regions

Run tccli cvm DescribeRegions for the full list.

Channel Output Compatibility

Many messaging channels (WeChat, 企业微信, Slack, Teams, Telegram, etc.) apply Markdown rendering or Markdown-to-plain-text conversion before displaying messages. Common transformations that silently corrupt output:

• Paired underscores stripped: _xxx_ → xxx (italic markers)
• Paired asterisks stripped: *xxx* → xxx (bold/italic markers)
• Backslash escapes consumed or displayed literally
• URLs with special characters mangled or truncated

This corrupts:

• URLs containing underscores (e.g., redirect_url, app_id in OAuth links)
• CLI output with underscored identifiers (e.g., instance_name, secret_id)
• Script output containing underscored fields or special characters

Rules for all channel output:

1. URLs: Replace _ (underscore) with %5F in any URL shown to the user. For example, the OAuth authorization URL parameters like redirect_url, app_id must use %5F instead of _.
2. CLI / script output: Always wrap output in code blocks (triple backticks) to prevent Markdown interpretation. Prefer code blocks for any multi-line output containing underscores, asterisks, or other Markdown-sensitive characters.
3. General text: Avoid bare underscores and asterisks in plain text. Use backtick-wrapped inline code for any identifier containing these characters (e.g., instance_name, secret_id).
4. Links: When providing clickable links, ensure the full URL is inside a code block or use URL-encoding for special characters. Do not rely on Markdown link syntax [text](url) — the URL may be altered by the channel.

Error Handling

1. Check credentials: tccli cvm DescribeRegions
2. Verify the region parameter
3. Run tccli lighthouse <Action> --help to confirm parameter format
4. Check instance status: tccli lighthouse DescribeInstances --region <region>
