# Retired af CLI guides (/legacy)



<Callout type="warn" title="Read this first">
  The guides in this section were written for the retired `af` command line tool
  and its sites, storage, functions, and IPFS workflow. The current CLI is `acc`.
  It deploys compute services (containers, templates, GPU and confidential
  workloads) and does not include the `af sites`, `af storage`, `af functions`,
  `af ipns`, `af ens`, or `af gateways` commands. Commands on these pages will not
  work with `acc`.

## What to use instead [#what-to-use-instead]

| You want to                                  | Use                                                                                                                                      |

| Deploy a container or an app from a template | [Quick start](/guides/quickstart) and `acc services create`                                                                              |
| Point a domain at a service                  | [Custom domains](/guides/custom-domains)                                                                                                 |
| Automate deploys from CI or an agent         | [Docs for AI agents](/ai-agents) and [Access tokens](/guides/api-keys)                                                                   |
| Host a static site                           | Not available in `acc` yet. Deploy the site inside a container (for example an `nginx` image that serves your build output).             |
| Store files on IPFS or Arweave               | Not available in `acc`. The self-hosted [decentralized container registry](/guides/decentralized-registry) covers image storage on IPFS. |

## Why these pages are still here [#why-these-pages-are-still-here]

They document product surface that is planned to return, and people still land
on them from older tutorials. Each page carries a banner. Nothing in this
section is used by the search index for "how do I" answers about `acc`.
