Running interactive commands over SSH
You can run interactive commands, like a Rails console or a bash session, on a server (default is primary, use --hosts to connect to another):
# Starts a bash session in a new container made from the most recent app image
mrsk app exec -i bash
# Starts a bash session in the currently running container for the app
mrsk app exec -i --reuse bash
# Starts a Rails console in a new container made from the most recent app image
mrsk app exec -i 'bin/rails console'
Running details to show state of containers
You can see the state of your servers by running mrsk details:

You can also see just info for app containers with mrsk app details or just for Traefik with mrsk traefik details.
Running rollback to fix a bad deploy
If you’ve discovered a bad deploy, you can quickly rollback by reactivating the old, paused container image. You can see what old containers are available for rollback by running mrsk app containers. It’ll give you a presentation similar to mrsk app details, but include all the old containers as well. Showing something like this:

From the example above, we can see that e5d9d7c2b898289dfbc5f7f1334140d984eedae4 was the last version, so it’s available as a rollback target. We can perform this rollback by running mrsk rollback e5d9d7c2b898289dfbc5f7f1334140d984eedae4. That’ll stop 6ef8a6a84c525b123c5245345a8483f86d05a123 and then start e5d9d7c2b898289dfbc5f7f1334140d984eedae4. Because the old container is still available, this is very quick. Nothing to download from the registry.
Note: By default old containers are pruned after 3 days when you run mrsk deploy.
Running removal to clean up servers
If you wish to remove the entire application, including Traefik, containers, images, and registry session, you can run mrsk remove. This will leave the servers clean.
