Each was a loose end recorded under `### SDK` in the notepad. `serve` takes its own pidfile down on SIGTERM. uvicorn restores the handler it found and re-raises the signal it stopped on, so the default handler ended the process without unwinding and the `finally` never ran — which is what a stop sends, and what left `serve.pid` behind. `serve.log` is cut back past 5 MB by the engine rather than by the screen that started it, so an adopted engine is bounded too. Gated on its own stdout being an appended regular file, which is what makes the cut safe: the kernel then puts the next write at the new end. Cards are counted from `/dev/nvidia[0-9]*`, so `FLOW_GPUS`/`--gpus` of 0 means "work it out" the way `FLOW_CPUS` always has. The engine counts, not the accountant — a remote worker builds one of those from its own inventory, and detecting there would hand it the engine host's cards. The worker counts last: what a batch job says it was granted still wins. `GET /runs/metrics/names` is the distinct over a selection that `--list` and the terminal's metric picker were approximating by reading the newest run that had measured anything, which missed a name only an older run ever wrote. `MetricSink` announces each batch it has written (`run_metric`, carrying the names). Not a per-point event: one covers up to 500 points or two seconds of them, and the rows stay the record. The terminal comparison fills in as the first readings land instead of staying blank until reopened, and the browser refetches the run and any comparison rather than the list behind them. `retry --group` pages the list route by `before` instead of stopping at 500. The terminal dashboard takes the terminal's colours (`ansi-dark`), and the web UI can re-pair from Settings without disconnecting first.

Fluksio App
Fluksio is a node-based automation software that brings trust and reliability to your flow. It just works and looks good.
The core of Fluksio: a node-based, test-driven automation software built to scale. This
repo holds the FastAPI backend, the flow engine, and the dashboard SPA. It is served on
app.${DOMAIN} (SPA) and api.${DOMAIN} (API)
Layout
backend/ FastAPI + SQLModel + Alembic + SQLite
fluksio/flow/ the flow engine (nodes, pipeline, state backends, controller)
fluksio/cli.py `fluksio serve` / `enroll` / `worker`
worker/ the `fluksio-worker` distribution: the agent and the node runner
frontend/ React 19 + TanStack Router + Tailwind 4 + shadcn/ui
docs/ the public documentation site (zensical), served on docs.${DOMAIN}
docker/ compose.yml → compose.dev.yml → compose.local.yml (+ compose.traefik.yml)
scripts/ generate-client.sh, test.sh
Install without Docker
Get started quickly by running
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve
Then, head over to fluksio.com, sign up and add a new instance. Using the code provided, run
fluksio enroll <code>
and you're ready to rock.
Fluksio is distributed at it's heart. A machine that should only run nodes for an engine elsewhere installs less:
pip install fluksio-worker
fluksio-worker --url wss://api.fluksio.com/api/v1/workers/attach --token "$TOKEN" --labels gpu
Getting started
Normally driven from the workspace root (make init once, then make dev). Standalone:
make install # uv sync + bun install
make dev-utils # proxy and mailcatcher only
make dev-backend # FastAPI on :8000, hot reload
make dev-frontend # Vite on :5173
make test # pytest + Playwright (the e2e half needs the stack up)
make lint # ruff + mypy + biome
make generate-client # regenerate the frontend SDK from the OpenAPI schema
make help lists every target.
Documentation
The public site lives in docs/ and is built with zensical:
make docs-serve # live preview on :8000
make docs # static build into ./site
It is served at docs.${DOMAIN} by the docs service in docker/compose.yml,
and .gitea/workflows/docs.yml builds it with --strict on every push.
