A dashboard is a wall panel somebody hangs in their own hallway, so it now wears what they choose: a look, and a palette of their own colours. Two complete component sets live under `Dashboard/ui/` — `glass` (translucent panes over a slowly moving ground) and `material` (Material 3 tonal cards) — behind one prop contract. Every control's state, keyboard and `aria-` live in `ui/core` and are shared, so the two sets are the same dashboard drawn twice rather than two products: a set only decides what a control looks like while doing it. Four settings join the channel, each drivable by a flow like any other: `look`, `palette`, `background` and `touch`. A palette is an ordered list of hex colours — background, surface, primary, accent, text, then more chart colours — pasted from a coolors.co link or typed, written onto the canvas as the token variables everything already reads. Trailing roles are derived, so three colours are a whole dashboard, and derived text is held to AA rather than trusted (`theme.check.ts` measures it). A palette also decides light or dark, since its first colour is the ground. Widgets are measured against their own tile with container queries rather than against the viewport, animate through `motion`, and can be drawn without their title. The three reworks: - a bar draws a row per reading, up to eight, each in the dashboard's own data colours and each able to carry its own scale — replacing readings nested in one fill, which could only ever share one colour and stop at three. Documents written the old way are read as rows. - a chart's range picker moved to a column down its right-hand edge, which gives the plot back a whole row of a short tile. - the colour wheel became a disc: hue is the angle and saturation the distance from the middle, so a colour is one gesture rather than three, with brightness on a slider beside it. `index.css` and `lib/motion.ts` are untouched — the dashboard overrides token *values* on its canvas, never the blocks the two repos share.
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.
