packages-worker

Get packages_worker running locally. All steps are idempotent — safe to run whether this is your first time or you're resuming after a break.

Prerequisites check

git branch --show-current        # should be feat/track-packages
docker info --format '{{.ServerVersion}}'
pnpm --version

If the branch is wrong: git checkout feat/track-packages && pnpm i.

Step 1 — Start packages-db

No-op if already running.

docker compose -f scripts/scaffold.yaml up -d packages
until docker compose -f scripts/scaffold.yaml exec packages pg_isready -U postgres; do sleep 1; done
echo "packages-db is ready"

Step 2 — Apply pending migrations

Flyway skips already-applied migrations, so this is safe to re-run.

arch=$(uname -m)
[ "$arch" = "arm64" ] && PLATFORM="--platform=linux/arm64/v8" || PLATFORM="--platform=linux/amd64"
docker build $PLATFORM -t packages_flyway \
  -f backend/src/osspckgs/Dockerfile.flyway backend/src/osspckgs --load

docker run --rm --network crowd-bridge \
  -e PGHOST=packages \
  -e PGPORT=5432 \
  -e PGUSER=postgres \
  -e PGPASSWORD=example \
  -e PGDATABASE=packages-db \
  packages_flyway

To create a new migration:

./scripts/cli scaffold create-packages-migration <descriptive_name>

Step 3 — Start the worker

DEV=1 ./scripts/cli service packages-worker up

Dev mode uses hot reload — edits to services/apps/packages_worker/src/ and services/libs/*/src/ are picked up immediately without restarting.

Day-to-day commands

# Follow logs
./scripts/cli service packages-worker logs

# Stop
./scripts/cli service packages-worker down

# Restart
./scripts/cli service packages-worker restart

# Check status
./scripts/cli service packages-worker status

Going further

• Add a new sub-worker (npm-sync, osv-sync, etc.): /packages-worker-add-entrypoint
• Record an architecture decision: /adr
• Before opening a PR: /preflight
• Commit with DCO sign-off: /commit

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
Connection refused on packages-db	Docker not running	docker compose -f scripts/scaffold.yaml up -d packages
permission denied: scripts/cli	CLI not executable	chmod +x scripts/cli
