To connect to Ory CLI for self-hosted Ory Kratos, you'll need to first install the Ory CLI and then configure it to work with your self-hosted instance. Here's how to do it: ## 1. Install the Ory CLI Depending on your operating system: ### For macOS:

brew install ory/tap/cli

### For Linux:

bash <(curl <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ory/meta/master/install.sh>) -b . ory sudo mv ./ory /usr/local/bin/

### For Windows:

scoop bucket add ory <https://github.com/ory/scoop.git> scoop install ory

Verify the installation with:

ory help

[Installation guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/installation) ## 2. For self-hosted Ory Kratos When working with a self-hosted Ory Kratos instance, you need to: 1. Clone and run Ory Kratos locally:

git clone --depth 1 --branch master <https://github.com/ory/kratos.git> cd kratos git checkout master git pull -ff docker-compose -f quickstart.yml -f contrib/quickstart/kratos/cloud/quickstart.yml up --build --force-recreate -d

2. Set the environment variable to point to your local Kratos instance:

export ORY_SDK_URL=<http://localhost:4433>

[Getting Started guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/react#run-your-react-app) ## 3. Export/Import Configuration You can export the configuration from your self-hosted Kratos instance to use with the CLI:

ory get identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

Or import a configuration file to your Ory Identities:

ory update identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --file config.yaml

[Identity CLI guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/identity-cli) ## 4. For Local Development If you're developing locally, you can use Ory Tunnel to create a connection between your local environment and Ory:

ory tunnel --dev --project $PROJECT_SLUG <http://localhost:3000>

This opens port 4000 on your local machine and allows your application to communicate with Ory Kratos. [Local Development guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/local-development#local-development) Remember that the Ory Tunnel should only be used for development purposes. For production, you should add a custom domain to your project.

To connect the Ory CLI to your self-hosted Ory Kratos instance deployed on AWS Cloud services, you need to configure the CLI to point to your Kratos admin API endpoint. Here's how to do it: ## Connect Ory CLI to Self-Hosted Kratos on AWS The key is to set the

--endpoint

flag or the corresponding environment variable to point to your Kratos admin API URL: 1. Using the endpoint flag:

kratos --endpoint <https://your-kratos-admin-api.aws-domain.com> <command>

2. Using environment variable:

export KRATOS_ADMIN_URL=<https://your-kratos-admin-api.aws-domain.com>    kratos <command>

This approach works for all Kratos CLI commands that interact with a remote instance, such as: - Identity management:

kratos identities list

,

kratos identities get

, etc. - Remote status checks:

kratos remote status

- Version information:

kratos remote version

## Example Commands Here are some examples of commands you might use with your AWS-deployed Kratos:

# List all identities kratos --endpoint <https://your-kratos-admin-api.aws-domain.com> identities list  # Get a specific identity kratos --endpoint <https://your-kratos-admin-api.aws-domain.com> identities get <id>  # Check if your Kratos instance is running kratos --endpoint <https://your-kratos-admin-api.aws-domain.com> remote status

The Ory CLI will use the specified endpoint to communicate with your Kratos instance running on AWS. ## Additional Information - Make sure your AWS security groups and network settings allow connections from your local machine to the Kratos admin API. - Ensure proper authentication is set up if your admin API requires it. - The admin API should not be publicly accessible without proper security measures. For more details on available commands, you can refer to the [Kratos CLI documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/cli/kratos) and [Kratos remote commands](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/cli/kratos-remote).
