DR CLI Reference

DR CLI Reference

When you need this: the game server will not boot and you have SSH access to the Linux host. This command-line tool builds a zip you open in the DR Viewer (early preview — may not work fully yet).

---

Quick usage

cd /path/to/your/server/mods
java -jar watchtower-cli-1.0.0.jar dr

Output: watchtower-dr-bundle-<timestamp>.zip

Use the same version as your mod when possible. Download from GitHub Releases or Modrinth.

Common options

Flag	What it does
--server <path>	Server root if not running from mods/
--out /tmp	Write zip somewhere the panel allows
--minutes 720	Log window if no boot time found (default 24h)

Examples

java -jar watchtower-cli-1.0.0.jar dr
java -jar watchtower-cli-1.0.0.jar dr --server /home/container
java -jar watchtower-cli-1.0.0.jar dr --out /tmp

---

What's in the zip

• Summary JSON and brief text
• Log excerpts around the last start attempt
• Crash summaries
• Mod list and changes vs prior report (when available)

---

Where to put the JAR

Recommended: mods/ next to the Watchtower mod. NeoForge does not load it as a mod — you only run it with java -jar over SSH.
