}
```

--------------------------------

### Run Alembic migrations and start FastAPI

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/console/frameworks/fastapi

Run Alembic migrations and start the app in one command. Out Plane has no pre-deploy hook, so run migrations manually or fold them into the start command. Prefer running migrations once manually if you have more than one instance to avoid races.

```bash
sh -c "alembic upgrade head && uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT"
```

--------------------------------

### Wait for rollout with JSON output

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/app/instances

}
```

--------------------------------

### Run Prisma migrations and start server

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/console/frameworks/nextjs

Run database migrations before starting the server. Out Plane has no pre-deploy hook, so this command runs migrations and then starts the standalone server.

sh -c "npx prisma migrate deploy && node server.js"
```

--------------------------------

### Example: The only role and database

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/db/url

```bash
outplane db url orders
```

--------------------------------

### Run a local server against the deployed configuration

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/env/run

Runs `npm start` with the environment variables from the deployed configuration.

```bash
outplane env run -- npm start
```

--------------------------------

### Start Gunicorn with sh -c

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/console/frameworks/django

Use this as the start command for the application. It binds Gunicorn to 0.0.0.0 and the exposed port, expanding $PORT via sh -c. Replace myproject with the package containing wsgi.py.

```bash
sh -c "gunicorn myproject.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:$PORT --workers 4"
```

--------------------------------

### List database roles for a specific database

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/db/roles

Example command to list all logins for the 'orders' database.

```bash
outplane db role list orders
```

--------------------------------

### Example: Name them when there is a choice

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/db/url

Specifies the role and database explicitly when there is more than one of each. The command refuses to pick automatically and requires these flags.

```bash
outplane db url orders --role app --database main
```

--------------------------------

### Basic usage of skills list

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/skills/list

Displays all detected coding tools and their skill installation status on the machine.

```bash
outplane skills list
```

--------------------------------

### Quickstart: create database, wait for active, create app with DATABASE_URL

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/cli/agents

Quickstart workflow: create a managed PostgreSQL database, wait for it to become active, then create an application wired to it. The database must be created first because the application needs the connection string at creation time. The `--region` flag is required and permanent; use `aws-eu-central-1`. The `--env` substitution uses `outplane db url` without `--json`; adding `--json` would break the connection.

```bash
outplane db create quickstartdb --region aws-eu-central-1 --json
```

```bash
outplane db get quickstartdb --json --fields status
```

```bash
outplane app create <APP_NAME> \
  --repo outplane/outplane-examples \
  --branch main \
  --public-repo \
  --dir agent-quickstart \
  --port 8080:http:public \
  --env DATABASE_URL="$(outplane db url quickstartdb)" \
  --json
```

--------------------------------

### Check usage before deleting: outplane volume get data -o text

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/volume/get

Example command to get volume details in plain text format, useful for checking if a volume is in use before deletion.

```bash
outplane volume get data -o text
```

--------------------------------

### Create and mount in one step

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/volume/create

Provisions a 20GB disk and mounts it to the 'checkout' application at the specified path.

```bash
outplane volume create data --size 20 --app checkout --mount /var/lib/data
```

--------------------------------

### Install CLI in CI Pipeline

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/install

```dockerfile
FROM node:22-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --omit=dev
COPY . .
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
```

--------------------------------

### Show a disk: outplane volume get data

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/volume/get

Example command to retrieve details for a volume named 'data'.

```bash
outplane volume get data
```

--------------------------------

### Create an application connected to the database with outplane app create

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/agents

Creates an application from the public repository 'outplane/outplane-examples', using the 'agent-quickstart' subdirectory. The --port flag exposes port 8080 as public HTTP. The DATABASE_URL environment variable is set to the output of 'outplane db url quickstartdb'. Note: do not add --json to the db url command, as it would put a JSON object into the variable and cause connection failures.

```bash
outplane app create <APP_NAME> \
  --repo outplane/outplane-examples \
  --branch main \
  --public-repo \
  --dir agent-quickstart \
  --port 8080:http:public \
  --env DATABASE_URL="$(outplane db url quickstartdb)" \
  --json
```

--------------------------------

### Read mount path in a script: outplane volume get data --json --fields

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/volume/get

Example command that outputs JSON with selected fields (app, mountPath, sizeGb) for scripting. The output shows the JSON structure returned.

```bash
outplane volume get data --json --fields app,mountPath,sizeGb
```

```json
{
  "app": "checkout",
  "mountPath": "/data",
  "sizeGb": 10
}
```

--------------------------------

### List all repositories

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/repos

Lists all repositories the current user can deploy from.

```bash
outplane repos
```

--------------------------------

### Read the whole record instead

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/cli/port/get

Example of using the `--json` flag to get the full port record as JSON. The output includes fields like `port`, `public`, `scheme`, and `url`. This is useful when the caller wants the structured record rather than just the address.

```bash
outplane port get 3000 --app checkout --json
```

```json
{
  "port": 3000,
  "public": true,
  "scheme": "http",
  "url": "https://checkout-3000-acme.outplane.app"
}
```

--------------------------------

```bash
outplane build get [flags]
```

--------------------------------

### Start command with shell features

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/console/build-configuration

Use this command when your start command needs shell features like `&&`, `$VAR`, or pipes, because the start command runs as a direct exec, not through a shell. Wrap the command in `sh -c` to enable shell interpretation.

```bash
sh -c "npm run migrate && npm start"
```

--------------------------------

### Deploy an application

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/cli/agents

```bash
outplane db create quickstartdb --region aws-eu-central-1 --json
```

--------------------------------

### Create app from connected repo or container image

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/cli/agents

Create an application from a connected repository or from a container image. The first line is for a repository the person has connected; the second is for a container image they named. Angle brackets are placeholders and are invalid on purpose, so a pasted block fails before acting on a real resource.

```bash
outplane app create <APP_NAME> --repo <OWNER>/<REPO> --branch <BRANCH> --port <PORT>:http:public
```

```bash
outplane app create <APP_NAME> --image <IMAGE_REF> --port <PORT>:http:public
```

```

--------------------------------

### Listen on 0.0.0.0 with PORT

Source: https://docs.outplane.com/docs/console/frameworks/go

Reads the PORT environment variable, defaults to 8080, and starts an HTTP server bound to all interfaces. The ":"+port form binds 0.0.0.0; binding 127.0.0.1 or localhost makes the app unreachable.

```go
port := os.Getenv("PORT")
if port == "" {
    port = "8080"
}
log.Printf("listening on 0.0.0.0:%s", port)
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":"+port, nil))
```
