Service Control
mac pull, mac start, mac stop, mac restart, mac status, mac logs,
mac info, and mac clean.
mac pull
Pull container images from the configured registry. Mode is required.
mac pull all # All images (master + agent)
mac pull master # Master images only
mac pull agent # Agent images only
Images are version-pinned to match the package version (see
/usr/share/mango-ai-center/VERSION). Set MAC_REGISTRY to use a private mirror — see
Environment.
mac start
Start MAC services. Mode is required.
mac start all # Master + Agent on this host
mac start master # Master only (web UI, API, Prometheus)
mac start agent # Agent only (exporters, sdk-agent, bmc-agent)
mac start pulls any missing images, brings up the compose project in detached mode, and
prints the access URLs. The agent mode also registers this host with the master at
MASTER_IP.
mac stop
Stop the running services. Mode is required.
mac stop all
mac stop master
mac stop agent
mac stop agent notifies the master so the node is deregistered from the inventory.
This is the right command to use when you are retiring a server. For a temporary outage
(reboot, maintenance window), it is fine to just power-cycle the host — agents that simply
go offline remain registered, so your inventory survives.
mac restart
Convenience wrapper for mac stop <mode> followed by mac start <mode>. Mode is
required.
mac restart all
mac restart master
mac restart agent
Use this after editing variables with mac env set so the new values reach the
containers.
mac status
Lists every MAC container on this host with its status and published ports.
mac logs
Stream container logs without remembering the exact docker-compose invocation.
mac logs # tail every running MAC container
mac logs api-server # tail one service
mac logs api-server prometheus # tail a subset
mac info
Prints a single-screen summary of the local installation: CLI version, registry, config directory, effective env variables, and the role detected on this host. Use it as the first diagnostic when a node is behaving unexpectedly.
mac version
mac version # or: mac -v / mac --version
Prints just the CLI version and exits — useful in scripts that gate on the installed MAC version.
mac clean
Removes everything: containers, the MAC docker network, named volumes (including the Prometheus time-series database and Loki logs), and the locally cached MAC images. Use this to start completely fresh.
mac clean
mac clean is destructive and cannot be undone. Back up Prometheus volumes first if you
want to preserve historical metrics.
