Developer utilities for working on onyx.app
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are an active Onyx contributor. The package is actively maintained (released 2026-08-14), has no known vulnerabilities, and significantly reduces friction for common development workflows. Install friction is moderate due to platform-specific wheels and external tool dependencies, but these are expected for a developer utility. Not recommended for non-Onyx use cases.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.9.
- Many commands require external tools: Docker (for compose/logs/pull), uv (for backend commands), GitHub CLI (for run-ci/cherry-pick/trace), AWS CLI (for screenshot-diff).
- See package description for installation links.

What it is and what it does
Onyx-devtools is a command-line utility (`ods`) packaged as a Python wheel that provides developer automation for the Onyx project. It wraps and orchestrates common development tasks including Docker container lifecycle management (compose, logs, pull), backend service startup (API server, model server), frontend script execution, devcontainer management, database administration, and OpenAPI schema generation. The tool depends on fastapi and openapi-generator-cli.
The package is designed for developers working within the Onyx repository. It reduces friction by providing a single entry point for multi-step development workflows—launching containerized services, managing database migrations, running backend servers with environment configuration, and executing CI/CD operations. Shell completion is available for bash, fish, PowerShell, and zsh. Many commands require external tools (Docker, uv, GitHub CLI, AWS CLI) to be installed and configured separately, making it primarily useful for developers already invested in the Onyx development environment.
Use it for
- Launch and manage Onyx Docker containers in dev or multitenant configuration without manually writing compose commands
- Start FastAPI backend services with environment variables pre-loaded from .vscode/.env without manual uvicorn setup
- View and follow logs from running services with tab-completion for service names
- Run database migrations, dumps, and restores without direct SQL or CLI tool invocation
- Generate OpenAPI schemas and client code for the Onyx API
- Manage devcontainer lifecycle (start, shell access, rebuild) for containerized development

Install
onyx-devtools on PyPI
Before you install
Medium install friction due to compiled wheels for multiple platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows, ARM64). The package is actively maintained with a recent release and no known vulnerabilities. Runtime dependencies on fastapi and openapi-generator-cli add setup complexity.
Requires Python >=3.9. Many commands require external tools: Docker (for compose/logs/pull), uv (for backend commands), GitHub CLI (for run-ci/cherry-pick/trace), AWS CLI (for screenshot-diff). See package description for installation links.
