Description

Feature description

When starting Kestra via the CLI, there's no log line telling the user where to open the UI. New users have to guess the URL or check the docs.

We already have what we need to print it: micronaut.server.host, the actual bound port from EmbeddedServer, and micronaut.server.context-path for reverse-proxied setups.

After the server is up, print one line:

Kestra is ready at http://localhost:8080

Apply to server standalone, server local, and webserver. Skip headless components.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code where the server starts (likely in the CLI entry point or server initialization), then after the EmbeddedServer is ready, add a log statement that prints the UI URL using micronaut.server.host, the bound port, and micronaut.server.context path.
