pikopod init, doctor, demo - pikopod

init

pikopod init

Writes ./pikopod.yaml with mode 0600 and refuses to overwrite an existing one.

wrote pikopod.yaml — edit the upstreams block, then: pikopod doctor && pikopod up

The template is shown in Configuration.

doctor

pikopod doctor

Verifies the wiring end to end: the config loads, data_dir is writable, the salt is present or creatable, the agent port is free or already pikopod, and every upstream target answers a HEAD request.

  ✓ pikopod.yaml loads
  ✓ data dir writable
  ✓ salt present or creatable
  ✓ agent port free or agent already running
  ✓ upstream examplepay reachable (https://api.examplepay.com)
all checks passed — point your app at the agent and run `pikopod up`

Any failing check prints its reason under a ✗ and the command exits 2. Running it creates data_dir and the salt if they do not exist.

demo

pikopod demo

Zero config. Starts a fake provider in-process, sends traffic through the agent, silently changes the provider’s responses, and prints the alerts. Everything happens in a temporary directory that is removed on exit. Takes about a second.
