The rebuild and its phases

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The platform is rebuilt, not repaired. One module in this repository stands it up from nothing, one phase at a time, against one named target, and tears it down again in reverse.

The command

The rebuild is three functions of the rebuild Dagger module, which dagger.toml makes the workspace’s entry point. Run them from this repository’s checkout:

dagger call up --target <name> [--resume] [--through <phase>] [--no-pause]
dagger call down --target <name> [--confirm <name>]
dagger call preflight --target <name>

up runs the preflight check, then applies and verifies phases in order. It stops at a checkpoint after each phase. --no-pause runs on without stopping, and --through names the last phase it runs. With --resume, it continues the target’s unfinished run instead of starting a new one.
down tears down every phase in reverse order, phase 0 last. It’s safe to run again after it fails partway, and it succeeds when there’s nothing left.
preflight runs only the preflight check, and changes nothing.

There’s no default target: each function refuses to run without --target. None of them is ever served from Dagger’s cache, and neither is any command a phase runs against a target, so every call really reads and changes the target it names.
