Setup and maintenance Every runtime command of an application binary, with its flags and purpose, from migrations and the server to workers, admin accounts and realtime checks. console 20

Setup and maintenance

Every application binary carries the framework's runtime commands. The examples use a binary named acme; yours is named by binary: in summer.yaml.

Migrations

Command Flags Purpose
migrate none Runs the framework migrations, then every plugin's migrations in dependency order.
migrate:rollback --plugin <id> Rolls back the last migration of the plugin; without the flag, of the last activated plugin that has migrations.
migrate:status none Prints a table of plugin, history table and applied migration IDs.
./bin/acme migrate
./bin/acme migrate:status
./bin/acme migrate:rollback --plugin acme.blog

Each plugin keeps its own migration history table, so rolling back one plugin never touches another. The migrations are listed in lagoon.

Application key

Command Flags Purpose
key:generate none Prints a fresh base64 32-byte key for app.key. It writes nothing and needs no database.
./bin/acme key:generate

Copy the printed value into SUMMER_APP__KEY. When you rotate the key, keep the old one in app.previous_keys so existing encrypted columns can still be read.

The HTTP server

Command Flags Purpose
serve --addr (default :8080) Opens the database and uploads bucket, builds the router, starts the in-process job worker and serves HTTP until SIGINT or SIGTERM, then shuts down within 10 seconds.
route:list none Builds the router the way serve does, without opening the database or listening, and prints every route with its method, pattern, plugin, middleware and raw flag.
./bin/acme route:list
./bin/acme serve --addr 127.0.0.1:8080

The default --addr listens on every interface. Pass a loopback address during development, and put a reverse proxy in front of the binary in production. The routing options are in surf.

Admin accounts

Command Arguments and flags Purpose
admin:create --email (required), --login, --role <code>, --superuser, --password (deprecated) Creates an activated backend administrator. --login defaults to the lower-cased email. The password is read from a hidden prompt, or from stdin when the input is not a terminal.
admin:reset-password <identifier> (login or email), --password (deprecated) Sets a new password, read like the one of admin:create, and revokes every token issued before the reset.
./bin/acme admin:create --email admin@example.com --superuser
./bin/acme admin:reset-password admin@example.com

Both commands prompt for the password without echoing it. In a script, pipe it on stdin, for example printf '%s\n' "$ADMIN_PASSWORD" | ./bin/acme admin:create --email admin@example.com --superuser. The --password flag still works but is deprecated and prints a warning, because the value stays in your shell history and is visible in the process list. The admin is described in cabana.

Queues and the scheduler

Command Arguments and flags Purpose
queue:work --queue <name>, repeatable Runs a job worker in the foreground on the named queues (default: every known queue) until SIGINT or SIGTERM. An unknown queue is an error that lists the known ones.
queue:clear [queue] (default default) Deletes the waiting, scheduled and retryable jobs of one queue and prints how many it cleared. Running jobs are never touched.
schedule:run --once Without --once, runs a scheduler-only worker until stopped. With --once, runs the entries due in the current minute and exits, for system cron.
./bin/acme queue:work --queue default --queue imports
./bin/acme queue:clear imports
./bin/acme schedule:run --once

serve runs a job worker in the same process unless queue.work_in_serve is false; set it to false when you run queue:work separately. Task scheduling explains the scheduler, and conga the queue settings.

Realtime and push

These commands are not added by the generated main. An application that uses Centrifugo or Web Push appends them to the list one of its plugins returns from pact.HasCommands: centrifugo.Commands returns websockets:health, and flare.Commands returns the two push commands.

Command Arguments and flags Purpose
websockets:health none Calls the Centrifugo info API and prints the configuration. Exits 1 when the API key is missing or the call fails. The key itself is never printed.
websockets:generate-vapid-keys --update, --show-current Shows the configured VAPID keys, truncated, then generates a new pair. With --update it saves them to the environment's overrides.yaml; without it, it prints the variables to set by hand.
websockets:test-push <user_id>, --show-config Lists a user's push subscriptions and, after confirmation, sends one encrypted test notification to each.
./bin/acme websockets:health
./bin/acme websockets:generate-vapid-keys --show-current
./bin/acme websockets:test-push 1

The settings are in lighthouse and flare.
