Reis (Turkish for "captain") is the official Bahriya command-line interface. It lets you manage your entire Bahriya infrastructure from the terminal — creating projects, deploying containers, managing secrets, and automating workflows without opening a browser.

What Reis can do

  • Authenticate with a personal access token (PAT)
  • Manage organisations — list and switch between orgs you belong to
  • Create and manage projects with region selection
  • Deploy containers with full configuration: image, resources, regions, environment variables, secrets, autoscaling
  • Manage Memcached instances alongside your containers
  • Store secrets and registry credentials with secure hidden input
  • Apply YAML files for declarative, repeatable infrastructure
  • Export resources to YAML for backup or version control

Three input modes

Reis supports three ways to interact with every command:

  1. Interactive mode — omit required flags and Reis walks you through guided prompts, fetching available options (projects, regions, registries) from the API
  2. Flag mode — pass all options as command-line flags for scripted or one-off operations
  3. YAML file mode — define resources in YAML files and apply them with reis apply -f

All three modes use the same API and produce identical results.
