Run and inspect

Use this after Getting started. These examples use the Compose runtime in v4.2.4. Verify hack version before using the archived command reference.

Start or restartCopy Anchor Link

hack up --detach
hack ps
hack open
hack restart web

Replace web with a declared service. A selected-service operation differs from a whole-project lifecycle; read the command reference before relying on hooks or implicit dependencies. Inspect the app after restart.

Read logsCopy Anchor Link

hack logs web --no-follow --tail 100
hack logs web --compose
hack logs --loki --since 2h --pretty

The first command is a finite snapshot. The second follows live Compose output; interrupt it with Ctrl-C. Loki history needs the global logging stack running on that host and is unavailable in slim environments. Read the matching command reference for supported filters and formats. Native authored logs have a narrower finite-command contract; these Compose examples do not establish native flag parity.

hack down

Use ordinary shutdown after review. Check reported failures rather than issuing broad cleanup commands.
