+## Ente CLI
+
+- The Ente CLI binary is pre-built at `/app/code/ente` inside the app container.
+- Open the Cloudron web terminal (working directory `/app/code`) and run commands with `./ente ...` or add `/app/code` to your `PATH`.
+- A writable CLI config template lives at `/app/data/home/.ente/config.yaml` for pointing the CLI to your instance.
