Components are optional services in your stack, such as fcrepo or Blazegraph, that can be switched on or off without rebuilding the whole project. sitectl delegates component management to the plugin for the active context, so the commands work across different stack types. See the components concept page for an explanation of what components are and how they work.

component

Components are optional stack features — such as Fcrepo or Blazegraph — that can be toggled on or off. sitectl dispatches component commands to the plugin associated with the active context. The plugin provides the component registry; sitectl provides a consistent entry point regardless of which stack you are working with. Use “sitectl component list” to show registered components, allowed dispositions, and any component-specific flags accepted by “sitectl component set”.

describe

Show the current state of each component registered by the active context’s plugin. Each component is reported as on, off, or drifted. A drifted component means the current project configuration does not match a complete supported disposition — run reconcile to review and bring it into alignment.

reconcile

Inspect each component and apply any changes needed to bring the project back into alignment. By default the command is interactive and asks before applying changes. Pass --report to preview what would change without applying it.
A component shows as drifted when its project files do not match one complete supported disposition, for example after a partial manual Compose edit. Sitectl derives this from the current files and has no historical component-state record. Run reconcile to review the detected drift and bring the project back into alignment.

set

Set the state or disposition of a named component in the active context’s plugin. Prefix the component name with the plugin namespace to target it directly: sitectl component set isle/fcrepo off sitectl component set isle/blazegraph off All flags after “set” are forwarded to the plugin’s component set handler. Use “sitectl component set --help” or “sitectl component list <component>” to see component-specific flags.
