Local Dev Environment

Local Dev Environment

Start, stop, or check status of local development environment using Podman Compose.

Inputs

Persona

Load devops persona (podman, systemd). May need developer for curl; database for psql.

Workflow

1. Bootstrap

• persona_load("devops") — podman tools
• systemctl_is_active(unit="podman.socket") — ensure Podman socket active

2. Current Status

• podman_compose_status(project_dir=repo) — compose status
• podman_ps() — running containers

3. Perform Action

• If action in [stop, restart]: podman_compose_down(project_dir=repo)
• If action in [start, restart]: podman_compose_up(project_dir=repo, detach=true)

4. Post-Start (if action != status)

• podman_compose_status(project_dir=repo) — verify status
• podman_logs(container="{repo_basename}-app-1", tail=30) — recent logs

5. Database

• If run_migrations and action in [start, restart]: podman_exec(container="{repo_basename}-app-1", command="python manage.py migrate")
• psql_tables() — list tables (verify DB ready)
• psql_query(query="SELECT 1 as health_check;") — connectivity

6. Health Check (if health_check)

• curl_get(url="http://localhost:8000/api/v1/health/") — API health
• curl_timing(url="http://localhost:8000/api/v1/health/") — response time

7. Error Handling

• On "port already in use": stop conflicting process or podman_compose_down first
• On "connection refused": wait for container startup, check podman_logs

8. Session Log

• memory_session_log("Local dev environment: {action}", "repo={repo}")

Quick Actions

• View logs: podman_logs(container="<name>", tail=50)
• Run migrations: include run_migrations: true in inputs
• Restart: skill_run("local_dev_environment", '{"repo": "...", "action": "restart"}')
