Five things a wall panel showed that a wall panel should not. **A tile's body no longer clips.** It scrolled, and a box that scrolls also cuts whatever crosses its edge — which took the glow off a lit button at exactly the width where the button filled its tile, and off a gauge's arc at exactly the height where the dial filled its own. Only what is written or listed asks for a scroller now; everything else is a picture drawn to fit, and what overflows is left to the frame, which clips at the tile's edge where a shadow has already faded out. The slider's phantom scrollbar goes with it. **The selector is a selector.** Named for what it does rather than what it is, and the choice it is holding is held in the dashboard's own primary — a pill that slides between the options rather than a grey one that had to be looked for. The stored type is untouched, so no document changes meaning. **The arrangement is held off the panel's edges**, by the same distance it holds between two widgets. The ground is not held off with it: a background covers the whole panel, and only what is arranged on it has a margin. No stored panel loses a row to it. **The rail is drawn on the panel.** It was chrome bolted to the edge of the screen beside the canvas — in the app's own design rather than the dashboard's, and on a scaled canvas not even lined up with it. It now takes a column out of the canvas the way the margin does, scaled with it and wearing its look. Which cell each widget sits in is unchanged; only how big a cell is. Two of these were the same mistake twice: an unlayered rule stating `position` for everything wearing a class — `.gl-surface` on a rail placed by a utility, and a blanket lift over every child of a pressable on a pill placed by `layoutId`. Both now say it one element at a time.
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.
