@chilly-king-10285 Does Ory CLI apply to selfhosted services?

Yes, Ory CLI is essential for self-hosting Ory components and local development. Its functionality helps manage and configure Ory Network projects, and the ability to export configurations allows you to bring your setup from a self-hosted environment to the cloud and vice versa [source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/ory-cli-install-use).

I assume the correct answer is no, and the answer generated above is misleading? Or maybe the bot has a different understanding of "apply" to me.

Hello @boundless-lighter-39776 More or less yea. There are dedicated CLIs for each Ory service; see the one for Hydra for example: https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/cli/hydra-clients-create These generally do the same as the Ory Network CLI - and some things you cant do there like database cleanup operations etc. In Ory Network you additionally have the option to manage your Ory Network projects (i.e. deployments of Ory services) through the CLI, like exporting configuration etc. This is something you cant do with the self-hosted CLIs, but you most likely dont need to as you can edit the configuration file directly on your server/container etc.
