The first public GitHub release listed by the repository API is v0.1.0 from June 2019, followed by v1.0.0 and v2.0.0 releases in November 2020 and v3.0.0 in February 2024. The project is built around common Go CLI tooling, with cobra and viper listed in go.mod and a README command tree that exposes Vultr services as subcommands. ### Adoption history The official README documents several installation routes that matter to package users: GitHub release binaries, Go install, Arch Linux pacman, Homebrew, Fedora dnf, OpenBSD pkg_add, Docker images, and Chocolatey. The supplied package metadata also records packaging across Homebrew, dnf, nix, pacman, Scoop, and winget. ### How it is used The README and Vultr Docs show vultr-cli as a terminal client for listing and creating infrastructure resources. Authentication uses the VULTR_API_KEY environment variable, while an optional YAML config can be supplied with --config and may contain an api-key value; environment variables override config-file values. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, vultr-cli is a compact example of a provider-owned cloud CLI shipped through multiple native package ecosystems while tracking a fast-moving cloud API client dependency, govultr. Its GitHub releases, Go module path, Docker image, and distro package entries make it easy to compare upstream release cadence against downstream packaging lag. ### Timeline - 2019: GitHub repository created and v0.1.0 released. - 2020: v1.0.0 and v2.0.0 released. - 2024: v3.0.0 released and the module path uses github.com/vultr/vultr-cli/v3. - 2025: Changelog records expanded cloud-resource coverage such as CDN, database, object storage, logs, and VPC updates. - 2026: v3.10.0 released with instance, ISO, script-file, and govultr dependency updates. ### Related projects - govultr is the official Go client dependency used by vultr-cli. The README also points users to Vultr's API key settings and Docker image distribution for the CLI. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for vultr-cli.
