Astro Local Environment

This skill helps you manage your local Airflow environment using the Astro CLI.

To set up a new project, see the setting-up-astro-project skill. When Airflow is running, use MCP tools from authoring-dags and testing-dags skills.


Start / Stop / Restart

# Start local Airflow (webserver at http://localhost:8080)
astro dev start

# Stop containers (preserves data)
astro dev stop

# Kill and remove volumes (clean slate)
astro dev kill

# Restart all containers
astro dev restart

# Restart specific component
astro dev restart --scheduler
astro dev restart --webserver

Default credentials: admin / admin

Restart after modifying: requirements.txt, packages.txt, Dockerfile


Check Status

astro dev ps

View Logs

# All logs
astro dev logs

# Specific component
astro dev logs --scheduler
astro dev logs --webserver

# Follow in real-time
astro dev logs -f

Access Container Shell

# Bash into scheduler container
astro dev bash

# Run Airflow CLI commands
astro dev run airflow info
astro dev run airflow dags list
