Connecting to Lager Boxes

Set up connections to your Lager Boxes

Before you can interact with your Lager test setup, you need to configure connections to your Lager Boxes.

---

Adding a Lager Box

Add your Lager Box using the boxes command:

lager boxes add --name my-lager-box --ip 100.91.127.26

Where:

• my-lager-box is a friendly name you choose
• 100.91.127.26 is the Lager Box’s IP address (Tailscale or local network)

---

Verifying the Connection

Test connectivity to your Lager Box:

lager hello --box my-lager-box

You should see a response like:

Hello from Lager Box! Version: 1.2.0

---

Listing Your Lager Boxes

View all configured Lager Boxes:

lager boxes

Output:

name                   ip               version   user
my-lager-box           100.91.127.26    0.2.25    lagerdata
my-other-lager-box     100.105.225.48   0.2.24    lagerdata

---

Setting a Default Lager Box

To avoid specifying --box with every command:

lager defaults add --box my-lager-box

Now commands will use my-lager-box by default:

# These are equivalent after setting default:
lager supply POWER voltage 3.3
lager supply POWER voltage 3.3 --box my-lager-box

---

Connection Methods

Lager Boxes can be accessed via:

Method	IP Format	Use Case
Tailscale VPN	100.x.x.x	Remote access over internet
Local Network	192.168.x.x	Same LAN as Lager Box
Corporate VPN	Varies	Enterprise network access

All methods work identically - just use the appropriate IP address for your network.

You’re now connected and ready to use all Lager CLI features.
