wheels deploy accessory

Sidecar container lifecycle. Every accessory verb takes the accessory name as a positional argument (or all for fan-out) and targets the pinned host(s) for that accessory: wheels deploy accessory boot db.

VerbPurpose
bootFirst-time install + run.
rebootStop, remove, re-install.
startdocker start.
stopdocker stop.
restartdocker restart.
detailsdocker ps --filter.
logsTail accessory logs.
removeStop + remove the container.
Argument / flagDescription
<name>Required positional. Accessory name, or all to fan out.
--destination=<name>Overlay destination config.
--dry-runPrint commands without executing.

Omitting the name throws DeployAccessoryCli.MissingName. There is no --name= flag — the deploy parser ignores it, so --name=db also ends in DeployAccessoryCli.MissingName.

Accessory verbs are not part of the rolling app deploy. wheels deploy leaves accessories alone — that’s deliberate, so routine rollouts can’t accidentally bounce your database. See Accessories.
