vk open

Usage

vk open <service>

Services

Command	Description	URL
`vk open db`	Database viewer	`http://localhost:8081`
`vk open storage`	Storage (S3) browser	`http://localhost:9001`
`vk open queues`	Queue & cache monitor	`http://localhost:5540`
`vk open crons`	Cron job status	Terminal output

Description

Opens local dev tools for the infrastructure services declared in your project’s vk.config.ts. All tools run locally — no data leaves your machine.

Services are started automatically if they are not already running. You never need to manually start Docker containers.

Examples

# Open the database viewer
vk open db

# Open the storage browser
vk open storage

# Open the queue & cache monitor
vk open queues

# View cron job status (requires vk dev running)
vk open crons

# Cron status on custom port
vk open crons --port 8080

vk open db

Opens a web-based database viewer connected to the current project’s database. Browse tables, run queries, and inspect data.

Automatically connects to the current project’s primary database
Running vk open db from a different project switches the viewer to that project’s database
Database names are project-prefixed (e.g. my_app_main)
No configuration needed — credentials are managed automatically
Use --all to show all project databases at once

vk open storage

Opens the storage console where you can browse, upload, and manage files in your project’s S3-compatible buckets.

Login credentials: minioadmin / minioadmin
Buckets are prefixed with your project name (e.g. my-app-uploads)

vk open queues

Opens a visual monitor for Redis, used by both queue and cache intents. Inspect keys, monitor queue lengths, and debug message flow.

Auto-connects to the local Redis instance
Works for both queue intents and cache intents

vk open crons

Displays cron job status directly in the terminal. Shows each job’s name, schedule interval, last run time, and next scheduled run.

  Name                      Interval     Last Run               Next Run
  ─────────────────────────  ────────────  ──────────────────────  ──────────────────────
  cleanup                   5m           2025-01-15T10:30:00Z    2025-01-15T10:35:00Z
  daily-report              24h          2025-01-15T00:00:00Z    2025-01-16T00:00:00Z

Note: Requires vk dev to be running since cron jobs are managed by the dev server.

Requirements

Docker running (for db, storage, and queue viewers)
VentureKit project with vk.config.ts
Infrastructure intents matching the service you want to open
