Lib.rs

Flowrs is a TUI application for Apache Airflow. It allows you to monitor, inspect and manage Airflow DAGs from the comforts of your terminal. It is build with the ratatui library.

Installation

You can install flowrs via Homebrew if you're on macOS / Linux / WSL2:

brew tap jvanbuel/flowrs
brew install flowrs

or by downloading the binary directly from GitHub:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/jvanbuel/flowrs/releases/latest/download/flowrs-tui-installer.sh | sh

Alternatively, you can build flowrs from source with cargo:

cargo install flowrs-tui --locked

Usage

Managed Airflow services

The easiest way to user flowrs is with a managed Airflow service. The currently supported managed services are:

• Conveyor
• Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA)
• Google Cloud Composer
• Astronomer

To enable a managed service, run flowrs config enable -m <service>. This will add the configuration for the managed service to your configuration file, or prompt you for the necessary configuration details. On startup flowrs will then try to find and connect to all available managed service's Airflow instances.

Custom Airflow instances

If you're self-hosting an Airflow instance, or your favorite managed service is not yet supported, you can register an Airflow server instance with the flowrs config add command:

This creates an entry in a ~/.flowrs configuration file. If you have multiple Airflow servers configured, you can easily switch between them in flowrs configuration screen.

Only basic authentication and bearer token authentication are supported. When selecting the bearer token option, you can either provide a static token or a command that generates a token.
