The backend image now builds the SPA and serves it on the API's own origin
(fluksio/spa.py), so an instance is a single container with no proxy, DNS,
port 80 or .env: `docker compose up -d` with the new compose.yml runs it on
localhost:8080. It starts on fluksio serve (persisted secret key, first
admin printed once) and brings its own Redis when REDIS_HOST is unset.
Slimmer: python:3.13-slim, no dev group, uv once, fastapi without the cloud
CLI. Optional features are per-feature extras (mqtt, influx, email, sentry,
ml, server for all) picked with the EXTRAS build argument; numpy moved to
`ml`. ffmpeg left the image for imageio-ffmpeg via the Modules screen.
The operator stack runs the same image with app. and api. routed to it; the
nginx frontend service, the LAN nginx proxy and DOMAIN in the backend are
gone, and the MCP issuer is FRONTEND_HOST.
The gates have never gone green on the new runners. Three separate reasons:
- backend/Dockerfile shipped Python 3.10 while the code imports typing.Self
and datetime.UTC, so the container exited on import and the suite could not
even load its conftest. The image moves to 3.13 and the packages declare
>=3.12, which is the floor the tests actually pass on; ruff's target follows
and rewrites timezone.utc and asyncio.TimeoutError accordingly. Relocking
drops the 3.10 branch, which bumps FastAPI and so regenerates the SDK.
- frontend/README.md had no trailing newline and two dashboard widgets used
arbitrary text-[…] sizes. Both are em-relative on purpose, so they move to
the inline style the neighbouring ramp already uses.
- Every commit left its own run queued: without a concurrency group a runner
that was offline for a while works through a backlog nobody reads. A stack
that fails to come up now prints its logs before the teardown removes it.
One process owns this database — the image has run a single uvicorn
worker for that reason since the four-engines bug — so a file beside the
flows is the honest shape for it, and it is what lets `fluksio serve`
need no infrastructure at all. Live values, node execution and the work
queue never came here anyway; what does is a rollup a minute at a time,
a row per cascade and the run history, and WAL keeps the readers going
while that one writer works.
DATA_DIR is now the one setting that moves everything an installation
keeps; the rest derive from it and the images still spell theirs out.
The schema is prepared in-process at startup, so the prestart service is
gone, and the ten Postgres-only revisions collapse into one portable
baseline.
Three things only worked because psycopg was casting for us: a token's
subject arriving as a string where the column is a UUID, `greatest`, and
`date_bin`. The timestamps needed a column type of their own — SQLite
stores no offset, and a naive datetime read back either raises against an
aware `now` or serialises as local time.
Postgres stays in the stack only for Umami, behind the analytics profile.
Ports n3xd's four: pre-commit, backend tests, sharded Playwright and a
compose smoke test. Everything comes from the committed .env.example, so
no repository secrets are needed; Actions still has to be enabled per
repository and a runner registered with the ubuntu-latest label.
container_name, published ports and image tags are all daemon-global, so
two shards on one runner would fight over them. compose.ci.yml resets
them and tags per project. test-backend keeps the fixed names because it
reaches Postgres from the runner host.
