Watching it decide — which is what `commands: false` is for — caught two things a type check never would. It wanted to cool the house to 21 degrees in August. The comfort band is what *heating* aims at; the reference cooled above 26 and at night above 24.5, and this port had collapsed the two into one number. A compressor running every summer afternoon to reach a heating setpoint is the most expensive kind of correct-looking bug. And it was willing to heat while the pellet stove was doing the same job. The reference only ever let the heat pump heat when the stove reported itself faulty, which is the right way round: the stove is what heats this house and the pump is what covers for it. Both tables now have a check behind them, along with the boilers' — the three places in the house where a wrong threshold is a bill rather than a mistake.

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.
