Akeeba Remote CLI is looking for a personalized configuration file. This is true on every Operating System except Microsoft Windows which does not make available the necessary information to do so.

Configuration files only apply to remote.phar. The Dockerized version does not read files from your user folder. |
The file is named .akeebaremotecli (mind the
leading dot!) and is located in your home directory. In standard Unix
notation that would be ~/.akeebaremotecli
This is a plain text file which follows the INI format. Each
configuration section can define a set of options which have the same
effect as being passed to the command line itself. Each section is
referenced by the --host command line parameter.
If you do not define a host, the default entry [akeebaremotecli] will be
used instead.
Configuration file example:
[akeebaremotecli] host=https://www.example.com secret=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef [mybackup] host=https://www.example.com secret=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef action=backup profile=2 [example] host=https://www.example.com secret=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef profile=3
Example using the default section (tests the connection):
remote.phar test
Example using a named section, without having to specify a command (takes a backup with profile #2):
remote.phar backup --host=mybackup
Example using a named section, specifying commands and overriding options (takes a backup with profile #1);
remote.phar backup --host=example --profile=1
