Official command-line interface for Cascade, enabling node deployment, infrastructure onboarding, and deterministic migration of existing hosting environments into the Aftora infrastructure stack.
Cascade CLI is the infrastructure deployment and migration tool for the Cascade platform.
It allows operators to provision new nodes, standardise infrastructure, and migrate existing environments — including Pterodactyl, WHMCS-based hosting stacks, and traditional VPS panels — into a unified, policy-enforced Cascade architecture.
Designed for production environments, Cascade CLI ensures that all deployed nodes conform to Headwaters-defined security invariants and Fabric-enforced policy controls.
- Node provisioning and bootstrap automation
- Secure node registration into Cascade
- Infrastructure validation and hardening
- Migration tooling for:
- Pterodactyl environments
- WHMCS-based hosting stacks
- VPS control panels
- Reverse proxy and routing configuration
- SSL automation
- Configuration normalization and drift detection
Cascade CLI focuses on deterministic transformation rather than ad-hoc imports.
When migrating environments, it:
- Audits existing configurations
- Identifies incompatibilities
- Applies secure normalization
- Enforces policy compliance
- Produces reproducible infrastructure state
The goal is not just “move it over,” but to elevate it into a hardened Cascade-native architecture.
- All node registrations are authenticated and validated
- Migration workflows enforce security invariants
- Policy enforcement delegated to Fabric where applicable
- Explicit confirmation required for destructive operations
- Fail-closed defaults
- No implicit privilege escalation
- Deterministic infrastructure onboarding
- Secure-by-default node configuration
- Idempotent migrations
- Explicit operator control
- Reproducible state transitions
