instance-update stopped the unit and only then started the upload, so a transfer that dies mid-way leaves the host with no running Werkator and nothing to start again. That is not theoretical: deploying to vm4006 on 2026-09-03 failed with "scp: Connection closed" with the service already stopped. The upload now happens before the stop, and each artifact is transferred to a .part file whose sha256 is compared with the local one before it is moved into place, retrying twice. A truncated archive would otherwise unpack into a broken runtime, which is worse than the failed transfer it came from. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Werkator
Lightweight, declarative and highly opinionated software build system (CI/CD).
Documentation
- docs/configuration.md — configuration reference
- docs/bootstrapping.md — initializing a repository with
init - docs/deployment.md — running Werkator as a systemd service behind a reverse proxy
Developer Setup
Source .envrc to add tools/ to your PATH, or install direnv to have this done automatically on cd:
source .envrc
Common tasks:
./gradlew build # compile and run all checks
./gradlew test # run tests
./gradlew ktlintFormat # auto-format Kotlin sources
./gradlew ktlintCheck # check formatting (also runs as part of build)
adr-status # show all architecture decisions at a glance
direnv
direnv sources .envrc automatically whenever you enter the repository and unloads it when you leave.
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install direnv
# add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook bash)" # or: eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
Trust the project's .envrc once per clone:
direnv allow
