#1457 Document --server support for extension pull/update, datastore setup, and vault migrate

Opened by stack72 · 7/29/2026· Shipped 7/29/2026

Problem

PR #2006 added `--server` support to four commands that were previously local-only:

  • `swamp extension pull`
  • `swamp extension update`
  • `swamp datastore setup extension`
  • `swamp vault migrate`

The collaboration how-to and individual command reference pages need to be updated to document this capability, so admins know they can set up a shared server remotely without SSH access.

Proposed Solution

  1. Update the collaborate how-to to include the remote admin setup flow:

    • `swamp extension pull @org/ext --server ` to install extensions
    • `swamp datastore setup extension @swamp/s3-datastore --config '...' --server ` to configure the datastore
    • `swamp vault migrate my-secrets --to-type @swamp/aws-sm --server --yes` to migrate vault secrets
  2. Update the command reference pages for each of the four commands to mention `--server` / `--token` with examples.

  3. Note the limitations:

    • `vault migrate --dry-run` is not supported with `--server`
    • `vault migrate` requires `--to-type` with `--server` (no interactive mode)
    • `--repo-dir` is ignored with `--server` (the server has its own repo)

Alternatives

Leave the docs as-is and rely on `--help` output — but the collaboration how-to is the primary onboarding path for team setups, so it should cover this.
