MEO Site Management

Platform: This skill applies to MEO (Multi-site Enterprise Operations) subscriptions only. For ACE (Acquia Cloud Enterprise), see Application Management.

Use when:

• Listing, inspecting, creating, or updating sites
• Duplicating an existing site to create a new one
• Scheduling a site for deletion or recovering it
• Finding which sites belong to a codebase or subscription

Note: All commands below use acli api:v3:* (V3 API). Run acli list api:v3:sites to see all current site commands.

List Sites

# All sites you have access to
acli api:v3:sites:list

# Sites for a specific subscription
acli api:v3:subscriptions:list-sites <subscriptionId>

# Sites associated with a specific codebase
acli api:v3:codebases:list-sites <codebaseId>

# Sites in a specific environment
acli api:v3:environments:list-sites <environmentId>

Supports pagination: --offset=<n> and --limit=<n>.

Get Site Details

acli api:v3:sites:find <siteId>

Returns site id, name, label, codebase_id, status, and timestamps.

Create a Site

acli api:v3:sites:create <name> <label> <codebase_id>

# Example
acli api:v3:sites:create my-new-site "My New Site" d3b07384-d9a0-4568-b1c0-e1e23f123456

Optional flags: --description="...", --site_id=<uuid> (supply your own UUID).

Update a Site

acli api:v3:sites:update <siteId> --label="New Label" --description="Updated description"

Only label and description can be updated after creation.

Duplicate a Site

Creates a new site by copying an existing one into one or more environments.

acli api:v3:sites:duplicate <sourceSiteId> <site_name> <site_label> <environment_mapping>

# Example — duplicate into the same environment
acli api:v3:sites:duplicate abc-site-uuid new-site "New Site" \
  '[{"source_environment_id":"env-uuid","destination_environment_id":"env-uuid"}]'

Optional: --hook_argument="..." passes a custom argument to duplication hooks.

Schedule a Site for Deletion

Caution: Schedules the site and all its site instances for deletion. Use acli api:v3:sites:recover within the grace period to cancel.

acli api:v3:sites:schedule-delete <siteId>

Recover a Site Scheduled for Deletion

acli api:v3:sites:recover <siteId>

Cancels a pending scheduled deletion. Must be run before the grace period expires.

Delete a Site

Destructive operation — explicit approval required. Permanently deletes the site and all associated site instances. This cannot be undone. Confirm with the user before executing.

acli api:v3:sites:delete <siteId>

Typical Workflows

Provision a new site

# 1. Find the codebase UUID
acli api:v3:subscriptions:list-codebases <subscriptionId>

# 2. Create the site
acli api:v3:sites:create my-site "My Site" <codebaseId>

# 3. Associate it with an environment (creates a site instance)
acli api:v3:environments:create-site-instance <environmentId> <siteId>

Clone a site for a new tenant

acli api:v3:sites:duplicate <originalSiteId> \
  tenant-new "Tenant New" \
  '[{"source_environment_id":"<envId>","destination_environment_id":"<envId>"}]'
