run-app skillB

run-app is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: Build and start the Mendix app in Docker, and restart it after changes. Use when asked to run, launch or restart the app in a container. For the fast inner loop prefer run-local..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Run App Skill

This skill builds and starts the Mendix application in Docker.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this when:
- The user asks to run, start, or launch the app
- The user asks to rebuild and restart after making changes
- The user wants to test their changes in a running environment

## Prerequisites Check

Before running, verify:

1. **mxcli is local** — always use `./mxcli`, not `mxcli`
2. **Docker is available** — check with `docker ps`

Everything else (MxBuild, runtime, Docker stack) is auto-downloaded/initialized by `docker run`.

---

## Quick Start: One Command

```bash
# Setup, build, and start — handles everything automatically
./mxcli docker run -p MxCliDemoApp2.mpr --wait
```

This single command:
1. Downloads MxBuild (if not cached)
2. Downloads the Mendix runtime (if not cached)
3. Initializes the Docker stack (if not already done)
4. Builds the PAD package
5. Starts the containers in the background
6. Waits for "Runtime successfully started" (with `--wait`)

The app is available at: **http://localhost:8080**
Admin console: **http://localhost:8090** (password: `AdminPassword1!`)

mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/run-app@sha256:d0e04bbb60cf187b

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
