# Core service commands

> Shared sitectl commands for infrastructure services used across application stacks.

export const Compose = () => <Tooltip headline="Compose" tip={<>
        Docker Compose is Docker's tool for defining and running multi-container applications.{" "}
        <a href="https://docs.docker.com/compose/">https://docs.docker.com/compose/</a>.

    </>
  </Tooltip>;

Core service commands are built into `sitectl` for infrastructure behavior that repeats across application stacks. Use them from any context whose <Compose /> project contains the relevant service.

```bash theme={null}
sitectl mariadb backup
sitectl solr status
sitectl traefik tls letsencrypt --email ops@example.org
sitectl traefik bot-mitigation on
```

The boundary is ownership:

* Core `sitectl` owns shared service operations, stable command namespaces, and helpers that are useful across many applications.
* Application plugins own app-specific workflows, create flows, CLIs, migrations, sync helpers, and the small amount of route or config wiring needed to connect an app to shared services.

This keeps common operations consistent across Drupal, Islandora, WordPress, OJS, Omeka, and ArchivesSpace without requiring every app plugin to carry its own MariaDB, Solr, cache, or Traefik implementation.

## Ingress belongs here

TLS mode selection, local certificate setup, Let's Encrypt settings, bring-your-own certificate installation, ingress status, and bot mitigation are Traefik service commands. App plugins can supply app-specific router names or route-file details, but operators should start with [`sitectl traefik`](/plugins/traefik) for shared ingress behavior.

## When to use an app plugin

Use an application plugin when the command is about the application itself: Drush for Drupal, WP-CLI for WordPress, OJS tools, Omeka API resources, ArchivesSpace API helpers, or ISLE migration and repository workflows. Use core service commands when the operation is about a shared infrastructure service inside the stack.
