Spinup Logo

Quickly spin up your multi command projects.

• Nginx
• Dnsmasq (only for unix based systems)

To install the required packages on a debian based system you can use the following command:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev nginx dnsmasq

Download the .deb package from the releases. There is a separate version for Ubuntu 24.04 due to the different libwebkit2gtk package version being used.

To install the package run the following command where {{version}} is the version of the package:

sudo dpkg -i spinup-{{version}}.deb

To install the required packages on a rpm based system you can use the following command:

sudo dnf install nginx dnsmasq

Download the .rpm package from the releases.

To install the package run the following command where {{version}} is the version of the package:

sudo rpm -i spinup-{{version}}.rpm

Install the required packages:

brew install nginx dnsmasq

Download the spinup-{{version}}-macos.zip archive from the releases and unzip the archive:

unzip spinup-{{version}}-macos.zip

Run the installation script:

sudo ./spinup-{{version}}-macos/install.sh

This will create the required directories and files.

To run the app you can use the following command:

spinup

This will start the app where you can add command (templates) and projects.

To add a command template you can use the following command:

spinup command add <name> <command>

Example:

spinup command add example "npm run dev"

To remove a command template you can use the following command:

spinup command remove|rm <name>

Example:

spinup command remove example

To list all the command templates you can use the following command:

spinup command list|ls

Commands are templates, so we can use variables that are then defined in the project configuration.

Example:

spinup command add example "npm run dev -- --port {{port}}"

port and domain are reserved variables that are used to define the port and domain (based on the name) of the project. These are required to be when adding a project.

More information on variables can be found in the Variables section.

To add a project you can use the following command:

spinup project add <name> <port> [commands...]

This will create a configuration for the project in the sqlite database for spinup located in your .config/spinup folder.

Example:

spinup project add example 8001 example1 example2

To remove a project you can use the following command:

spinup project remove|rm <name>

Example:

spinup project remove example

To list all the projects you can use the following command:

spinup project list|ls

You can add custom variables to the project configuration file. These variables can be used in the command templates.

spinup variable add <project> <name> <value>

Example:

If we define a command template like this:

spinup command add "example" "npx vite -- --loglevel {{loglevel}}"

We can add a variable to the project configuration like this:

spinup variable add example loglevel silent

spinup run example

To run a project you can use the following command:

spinup run <project>

This will run the commands defined in the configuration for the project.
