Auto-start

Auto-start lets Solo launch eligible commands automatically for a project.

How it works#

During app launch, Solo checks auto-start after each stored project is initialized. The main configuration and policy conditions are:

• The process is a command, not a terminal or agent.
• The project's Auto Start setting is enabled.
• auto_start is enabled for that command.
• The command is trusted.
• Any license or project limits allow the launch.

Configure#

You can set auto-start in the command settings with Edit command..., or set auto_start: true in solo.yml.

Project settings also include an Auto Start switch that controls whether Solo starts that project's auto-start commands during app launch, after the stored project is initialized.

The sidebar also has a project action for starting only commands marked for auto-start. That manual action is available even when the project's startup Auto Start switch is off. Separate bulk actions can start all trusted commands regardless of the auto-start flag.

Notes#

• If a command is untrusted, Solo skips it without running it.
• Changing auto_start in solo.yml is a trust-sensitive change. A changed command variant may need review before it can auto-start.
