feat!: support auto start on boot by gaojunran · Pull Request #53 · jdx/pitchfork

gaojunran · 2025-10-19T15:23:28Z

Now we finally have this feature, which means a giant step towards our goal - a daemon manager.

auto-launch crate is forked and maintained by myself, as it lacks launching methods for non-desktop environment on Linux.

And it is hard to test this feature. I manually tested macOS and Linux on my machine.

Note

Adds start-on-boot via a new BootManager (auto-launch), pitchfork boot subcommands, supervisor --boot that auto-starts boot_start daemons, plus log range flags and docs.

Core/Runtime:
- Introduces BootManager (uses forked auto-launch) to register the supervisor for start-on-boot.
- Supervisor.start accepts --boot mode and auto-starts daemons configured with boot_start = true.
- PitchforkTomlDaemon adds optional boot_start field.
CLI:
- New pitchfork boot command with enable, disable, and status subcommands.
- pitchfork supervisor run adds --boot flag.
- pitchfork logs adds --from and --to time filters.
Docs:
- Adds “Start on Boot” guide and CLI docs; updates sidebar and supervisor/logs usage.
Deps/Build:
- Adds auto-launch (git fork) and updates related crates in lockfile.
Tests:
- Updates TOML tests to accommodate new boot_start field.
Misc:
- Removes renovate.json.

this won't work when we try to cut a release, you'll need to publish it

👌🏻. I got it!

 ## Subcommands

- [`pitchfork supervisor run [-f --force]`](/cli/supervisor/run.md)
+- [`pitchfork supervisor run [-f --force] [--boot]`](/cli/supervisor/run.md)


this is such a different thing I think it should be a dedicated command

@jdx Well this flag is only for system-level daemon, such as systemd and LaunchAgent, and users should not use them. The system-level daemon run pf sup run --boot on boot, and all registered daemons will run. I think it's better to hide them from the document, so that user won't use it?

The logic of launching between pf sup run and pf sup run --boot is alike, except that the --boot launches the registered daemons together.

If you mean pf boot status | disable | enable, they are dedicated commands for users.

Hope to learn about your idea!

ah ok that makes sense
