# nexus-cli
`nexus-cli` is a small non-interactive CLI for the nexus-sync server API.
## Install for development
```bash
pip install -e .
nexus-cli --help
```
The default server URL is `http://127.0.0.1:5852`. Override it with
`--server-url` or `-s`.
## List clients
```bash
nexus-cli --list
```
## Show client info
```bash
nexus-cli client linux-client
```
The output includes basic client metadata and advertised `available_commands`.
## Queue a command for a client
```bash
nexus-cli client linux-client --run-command hostname
nexus-cli client linux-client --run-command hostname --timeout-seconds 30
```
Payload shape:
```json
{
"name": "hostname",
"args": {},
"timeout_seconds": 30
}
```
## Show command execution info
```bash
nexus-cli command cmd_123
```
If the client has reported a result, stdout and stderr are printed.
## JSON output
Use `--json` for machine-readable output:
```bash
nexus-cli --json --list
nexus-cli --json client linux-client
nexus-cli --json command cmd_123
```
## Localization
CLI output is localized with `gettext` (catalogs managed by Babel). Only
user-facing CLI strings are translatable; daemon/server log messages are
deliberately left untranslated.
Select a language with the `NEXUS_SYNC_LANG` env var (falls back to the system
locale, then to the source English strings):
```bash
NEXUS_SYNC_LANG=ru nexus-cli command cmd_123
```
Translation sources live in `src/nexus_sync/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/nexus.po`.
Workflow (requires `pip install -e ".[dev]"`):
```bash
make i18n-extract # rebuild the .pot template from _()-wrapped strings
make i18n-update # merge new/changed strings into existing catalogs
make i18n-init LANG=de # start a new language
# edit the .po file, then:
make i18n-compile # build the .mo files shipped with the binary
```
`make cli` compiles catalogs automatically and bundles them into the binary.
## Build standalone binary
```bash
make cli
```
This creates `dist/nexus-cli` through PyInstaller (with localization catalogs
bundled via `--add-data`).
