Using WP CLI can be very helpful for a variety of management tasks.

Sites in FlyWP reside in the home directory. You can verify this by using the `pwd` command; You will be in the `/home/fly` directory. By using `ls` command, you’ll find all the available sites on your server.

If my domain is <strong>`domain.`tld</strong>, then the change directory will look like the following command *(change it as per your website’s name)*

```
cd domain.tld
```

First, we will get inside the containers own shell to run these commands.  
Now if you have an NGINX site, you can run WP CLI like this:

```
docker compose exec php wp
```

Or if you have an OpenLiteSpeed site;

```
docker compose exec --user=www-data openlitespeed wp
```

From there for example, showing all post list in an NGINX site:

```
docker compose exec php wp post list
```

For OpenLiteSpeed,

```
docker compose exec --user=www-data openlitespeed wp post list
```

Alternatively, if the docker compose command seems too long for your, you can go inside the container and run wp commands as usual.  
For Nginx site,

```
docker compose exec php bash
```

For OpenLiteSpeed,

```
docker compose exec openlitespeed bash
```

…and now as you’re inside the container. You will be able to run wp commands like you’re used to.

```
wp cli version
```

## Example

```
# Display the version currently installed.$ wp cli versionWP-CLI 2.10.0
```
