# Operations

Lifecycle commands for a running sfp server. Every command takes `--tenant`. Add `--ssh-connection` and `--identity-file` when running remotely from your workstation, or omit them when running directly on the server.

***

## Registry credentials

**Export `DOCKER_REGISTRY` + `DOCKER_REGISTRY_TOKEN` to env before every `start` / `stop`** — they are not read from the tenant `.env` that init wrote, only from environment variables. New shell session = re-export.

```bash
export DOCKER_REGISTRY="source.flxbl.io"
export DOCKER_REGISTRY_TOKEN="your-source-flxbl-pat"
```
