It provides two main entry points: `galaxyctl` for managing service lifecycle (start, stop, log retrieval) and `galaxy` for running a Galaxy server in the foreground with live log output.\n\nThe package abstracts away the complexity of configuring and coordinating these services, supporting both supervisor and systemd as underlying process managers. It reads Galaxy configuration from YAML files, generates appropriate service definitions, and handles process supervision. Gravity is a dependency of Galaxy since version 22.01, though it can be installed independently for use with Galaxy source checkouts or custom deployments.","worth_installing":"Yes. Gravity is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a real operational problem for Galaxy deployments. Install it if you are running a Galaxy server or managing Galaxy from source; it is already a dependency of Galaxy 22.01+. Low install friction and broad Python version support (3.8\u20133.14) make adoption straightforward."},"id":"gravity","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gravity","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gravity.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gravity/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-11","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gravity","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Command-line utilities to assist in managing Galaxy servers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":108052,"position":12581,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.3"}
