Daily ops

Once a profile is created, day-to-day work happens through a small handful of zeno subcommands and the per-profile dashboard at http://localhost:6101+.

This page lists the commands you actually run. The full flag table for each one lives in the CLI reference.

Lifecycle

zeno start personal          # start a stopped container
zeno stop personal           # stop without removing the container
zeno restart personal        # stop + start; cheapest way to pick up an env change
zeno start --all             # start every profile in state.db

Omit the profile argument to act on the sticky default (set with zeno profile use <name>).

Inspect

zeno profile list            # all profiles + live container status + ports
zeno profile show personal   # full detail for one profile
zeno logs personal --tail 100  # tail container logs (Ctrl-C to stop)
zeno open personal           # open the dashboard in your browser

Health and updates

zeno doctor                  # preflight: docker reachable, DB ↔ Docker drift, etc.
zeno upgrade                 # interactive picker: stable / pre-release / edge
zeno upgrade --list          # list every available release
zeno upgrade --to v2026.5.7-7  # pin to a specific release

zeno doctor reports drift between ~/.zeno/state.db and the running Docker world; it does not heal automatically. If something is wrong, the report tells you which command to run.

Dashboard URLs

Each profile binds the dashboard on 127.0.0.1 at a port allocated from the range 6101–6200. The first profile gets :6101, the second :6102, and so on. zeno profile list shows the assignment; zeno open <name> is the easy way in.

What you don't do at the CLI

• Connectors and skills. Installed via the dashboard, not the CLI. See Connectors and Skills.
• Crons. Scheduled and edited in the dashboard at /crons. See Crons.
• Container shell. Use docker exec directly — zeno shell was intentionally removed when the multi-profile CLI landed.
