fly ssh console adds --no-container

Introduced 2026-08-13 · score 0.92

HOW TO USE IT

When opening an SSH console to a Fly app, use `fly ssh console --no-container` to connect to the machine itself rather than one of its containers.

WHY THIS HELPS

Open an SSH console without a container when working on a Fly app.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v0.4.83
• --no-container: Connect to the machine itself rather than to one of its containers. Mutually exclusive with `--container`.
• --container: Selects a container to connect to; cannot be used with `--no-container`.
• Prerequisite: The command requires a Fly session and an app name; it connects to a running app instance.
