A dashboard could only ever receive as a set of tiles. This adds the dashboard itself as a receiver: `settings` maps a name to a value plus an optional binding. Unbound, the setting is simply its value — a wall panel that is always dark costs no flow. Bound, a flow drives it live and the value is the fallback. Two settings are wired: `theme` (system/light/dark) and `locked` (read-only). There is no schedule field on purpose — a node publishing to the bound message on a cron is what a schedule is here, which is the point of a channel. - `messages_for()` now walks a dashboard's bound settings as well as its widgets' bindings. Without this a paired screen is refused its own theme message, on the one surface the setting exists for; it bounds the socket too. - `locked` is gated in `usePublish`, so every control inherits it, and each control also draws itself disabled — a dead button reads as broken otherwise. The panel surface says Read-only in the corner. - The theme is a class on the dashboard's own surface, never the root: inside the app shell it must not flip the chrome. `.light` gains the tokens `.dark` already had (mirrored in the index repo) so both directions work on a subtree. - Settings bindings are type-checked from the document alone, the rule widget bindings follow, and mirrored on the server. - A bound setting is drawn on the flow canvas as a dashboard-level endpoint. - The demo's house flow now publishes `home.panel_theme`, which the demo dashboard's theme binds to: the panel goes dark after sunset, at no tile cost.

Fluksio App
Fluksio has the goal to build a revolutionary system to tackle any sort of automation challenge.
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); the marketing site lives in the sibling
index repo.
Layout
backend/ FastAPI + SQLModel + Alembic + SQLite — the `fluksio` distribution
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
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve # ~/.fluksio, SQLite, prints an admin password once
fluksio enroll <code> --portal https://hub.fluksio.com # watch it from the portal
Nothing else has to be running. --data-dir puts the installation somewhere else —
worth it on a cluster, where $HOME is often a network filesystem SQLite cannot use.
git is not required but is worth having: flows are files either way, and it is what
turns each save into a commit.
The dashboard is served by the portal, so a machine with no inbound route is reached
without opening a port: it dials out.
A machine that should only run nodes for an engine elsewhere installs less:
pip install fluksio-worker
fluksio-worker --url wss://api.example.com/api/v1/workers/attach --token "$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. Style
follows the root DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md; the tokens are mirrored in
docs/stylesheets/extra.css.
