The release workflow was already right; what it would have uploaded was not. `fluksio` had no readme, so its PyPI page would have been blank — the app repo's own README is a contributor's map of `frontend/` and `docker/`, which is the wrong front page for `pip install fluksio`. It now has one of its own, aimed at somebody who landed on the project page. Both distributions gain authors, urls, keywords and classifiers; `twine check` passes clean on all four artifacts where it warned on two before. The workflow publishes `fluksio-worker` first, because `fluksio` depends on it and the other order leaves a few seconds — the whole of a first release — in which the dependency cannot be resolved. `--check-url` makes a re-run skip what is already uploaded rather than failing on it, which matters because a version on PyPI can never be replaced. Licence metadata is deliberately still absent: LICENSE is MIT in somebody else's name, inherited from the template this was scaffolded from, and whose it should be is not a decision to make in a commit. NOTEPAD carries it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_012ue1tkFWB1bcGy3aWhCKpU
Fluksio
A node-based automation engine: flows, dashboards and batch runs, in one resident process with no infrastructure behind it.
pip install fluksio
fluksio serve
That is the whole installation — no Docker, no database server, no ports to
open. It keeps a SQLite database, a git repository of your flows and an
artifact store under ~/.fluksio, and prints an admin password once.
For data science
Your functions become nodes where they already live. Install Fluksio into the environment you work in and your nodes run on it — the packages are already there:
# myresearch/train.py
import fluksio
from fluksio import Port, node
@node(
requires=["dataset", Port("lr", "float")],
provides=[Port("loss", "float", stream=True), Port("weights", "artifact")],
device="gpu", device_policy="prefer",
)
def fit(dataset, lr, epochs=25):
for epoch in range(epochs):
loss = step(...)
yield {"loss": loss} # published as it happens, kept as a series
return {"weights": fluksio.save_artifact("weights.pt")}
# myresearch/pipeline.py
from fluksio import Flow, Port
from myresearch.train import fit
train = Flow("train", nodes=[prepare, fit, evaluate],
inputs=[Port("lr", "float", initial=0.01)], outputs=["score"])
fluksio login --url http://127.0.0.1:8000
fluksio sync myresearch
fluksio run train --lr 0.05 --wait
The decorators return your functions untouched, so everything stays callable,
testable and importable as what it was. A metric leaves through a declared
port rather than a logging call, which is why there is no log_metric(): the
run keeps the whole series, a chart can bind to it, and a downstream node can
consume it.
What else it does
- Flows — typed messages between nodes, wired by name, edited on a canvas or declared in code. Every change is a commit in a git repository you own.
- Runs — an experiment and a CI-style job are the same entity. Parameters, seed, result, per-node timings, artifacts and the commit it ran at.
- Dashboards — charts and controls bound to the same messages the flows carry, with no separate metrics pipeline.
- Remote workers —
pip install fluksio-workeron the GPU box; it dials out over one websocket, so nothing there has to be reachable.
