Use when Dozzle needs to be running in a browser to test a change by hand (clicking the UI, screenshots, driving it with Chrome or Playwright). Starts an instance on a free port derived from this worktree, so several worktrees can each have one at the same time, and never disturbs an instance someone else started.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Run a Dozzle instance for testing

Several worktrees are usually checked out at once and more than one of them may already
be serving. **Never assume 3100 is yours** — it almost certainly belongs to another
worktree, and killing it kills someone else's session.

## Start one

```bash
make dev-auto   # backgrounded; see below
```

It prints the URL before anything else:

```
▸ dozzle dev on http://localhost:3356 (vite 5502, agent 7136)
```

The ports come from `scripts/dev-ports.mjs`, hashed from this checkout's path and then
walked forward until free, so **this worktree always gets the same URL** and two
worktrees never land on the same one. To know the URL without starting anything:

```bash
bun scripts/dev-ports.mjs --json
```

Run it in the background and wait for the port rather than a fixed sleep:

```bash
PORT=$(bun scripts/dev-ports.mjs --json | grep -o '"DOZZLE_PORT": [0-9]*' | grep -o '[0-9]*')
# start make dev-auto with run_in_background, then:
until curl -sf -o /dev/null http://localhost:$PORT/; do sleep 1; done
```

`make dev-auto` is `air` + `vite` with hot reload, which is what you want while iterating
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amir20/dozzle/run-dev-instance@sha256:0694c5442bb72037

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.111c9c6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
