How to create an organization with CLI

Is it possible to create an organization with the CLI?

I figure it would have to be with appwrite teams ... but I think that's limited to in-project teams.

You're correct on the main assumption that the teams is used for the in-project teams.

But this is one of the great things in Appwrite it uses the same logic in-project for managing the system-wide project, your console.

For example you can see here that the teamsCreate function is used for creating system-wide organization

The reason it create that team in the system-wide level is because the SDK use for that one is the console one as you can see two lines before

    let sdk = await sdkForConsole();

In conclusion, if you'll use the CLI as JavaScript library you'll be able to create system-wide organization just as in the code above. Otherwise it's not an option.

use the CLI as JavaScript library what do you mean by this? By CLI I mean the command line interface https://appwrite.io/docs/command-line-deployment

I mean by creating a JavaScript project For example you create a node js project Then install the cli SDK

npm install appwrite-cli

And in your code you can write something like this

function createOrg(orgName){
  let sdk = await sdkForConsole();

  response = await teamsCreate({
            teamId: 'unique()',
            name: orgName,
            sdk,
            parseOutput: false
        })
}

Then in your index.js

  createOrg('Org1');

And run it

node index.js

Of course this is a rough coding, you'll need to add the async and the error handling

So I guess creating an organization is impossible with just using the command line interface?

Otherwise it's not an option. Yes
