weatherapi CLI

Shortest Useful Command

go run ./cmd/weatherapi -config config.yml

This starts the HTTP API with the supplied YAML configuration. The configured Postgres database must be reachable, and templates.base_dir must point to the text response templates when text output is used.

Command Overview

weatherapi is the service executable in cmd/weatherapi. It loads configuration, opens configured database handles, selects the first configured database as the primary weather data store, registers HTTP endpoints, and starts the feedapi HTTP runtime.

Build and run a local binary:

go build -o ./weatherapi ./cmd/weatherapi
./weatherapi -config config.yml

Run with the default config path:

./weatherapi

Flag Reference

Flag	Default	Description
`-config`	`WEATHERAPI_CONFIG` when set, otherwise `config.yml`	Path to the YAML config file.

weatherapi does not currently expose other CLI flags.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
`WEATHERAPI_CONFIG`	Default config path used when `-config` is not provided and the value is not blank.

Command-line flags take precedence over environment defaults.

Config Path Precedence

-config /path/to/config.yml
non-blank WEATHERAPI_CONFIG
config.yml in the current working directory

Startup and Shutdown

Startup fails if configuration cannot be loaded, no database is configured, a configured database cannot be opened, the primary database cannot be selected, or the HTTP app cannot be constructed.

The process listens for SIGINT and SIGTERM. When a signal is received, the runtime context is canceled and feedapi performs graceful HTTP shutdown. Database close errors during shutdown are logged.
