Local dev servers

Scenario: you have a Go API and a Vite front-end. You want to start them however you already do, then use gokazi to see what's running and stop them selectively.

gokazi.yaml

version: '1.0'

tasks:
  web:
    name: node
    description: Vite dev server
    cwd: $PWD/web
    args: [vite]
  api:
    name: api-server
    description: Go API
    path: $PWD/bin
    cwd: $PWD
    args: [serve]

A few things to note:

• web.name: node because the dev server runs as node /path/to/vite. The cmdline contains vite, so we match on the arg, not the binary.
• api.path: $PWD/bin narrows to your local build, so a globally-installed binary by the same name elsewhere won't match.

Workflow

# Start your servers however you already do.
(cd web && npm run dev &)
go run ./cmd/api serve &

# See what gokazi found.
gokazi list

# Restart just the API.
gokazi stop api
go run ./cmd/api serve &

If gokazi list shows running: false for something you can see in ps, walk the troubleshooting checklist.
