HTTP (`http::*`):
- `HttpService` trait (picloud-shared) + reqwest-backed `HttpServiceImpl`
(manager-core), wired into the `Services` bundle.
- SSRF deny-list applied to the resolved IP via a custom reqwest
`dns_resolver` (covers every redirect hop + defeats DNS rebinding) plus
a literal-IP check at URL-parse time. Scheme/port restrictions, request
+ response body caps (stream-with-cap), layered timeout. Error reason is
a CIDR category, never the IP. `PICLOUD_HTTP_ALLOW_PRIVATE` dev override
(logs a startup warning).
- Rhai bridge with three-arg split `verb(url, body, opts)` (resolves the
brief's body-vs-opts contradiction; unknown opt keys throw). Body
dispatch by type; response `#{status,headers,body,body_raw}` with JSON
auto-parse; non-2xx does not throw.
- `Capability::AppHttpRequest` → existing `script:write` scope (no new
Scope variant). `SdkCallCx` gains `script_id` (attribution + User-Agent).
Cron triggers (4th trigger kind):
- Migration 0017 widens the kind/source_kind CHECKs and adds
`cron_trigger_details`. `cron`/`chrono-tz` parse + validate 6-field
schedules and IANA timezones.
- `spawn_cron_scheduler` polls due triggers and enqueues to the universal
outbox; the dispatcher delivers them (one-line match-arm extension).
Catch-up fires exactly once per trigger per tick, not once per missed
window. `ctx.event.cron` for handlers.
- `POST /api/v1/admin/apps/{id}/triggers/cron` reuses the v1.1.3
cross-app + kind!=module target check.
- Dashboard: admin-gated Triggers tab (cron create form + list).
Follow-ups: redact module backend errors at the resolver boundary (log
original at error level); pin `rhai = "=1.24"`; CHANGELOG incl. retroactive
v1.1.3 cross-app-trigger security note. Version bumps: workspace 1.1.4,
SDK 1.5, dashboard 0.10.0.

PiCloud
A lightweight, self-hosted, event-driven serverless compute platform. Upload a Rhai script, get an HTTP endpoint. Designed to run on a single modest server with no idle CPU cost, and to scale out to a small cluster when you need it.
Status: Phase 1 — MVP scaffolding in progress.
The authoritative design lives in
serverless_cloud_blueprint.md.
Why
Existing serverless platforms are either cloud-locked, heavyweight, or both. PiCloud aims for the opposite end of the spectrum: one binary, one database, one reverse proxy — running on hardware you already own.
Architecture (one paragraph)
PiCloud splits into three logical services — manager (control plane: scripts, schedules, dashboard), orchestrator (per-node event ingress and dispatch), and executor (per-node Rhai sandbox) — each backed by a *-core Rust library. In MVP they run in a single process; in cluster mode they run as three binaries with one manager and one orchestrator + executor per node. Caddy fronts everything; PostgreSQL is the single source of truth.
See CLAUDE.md for working notes and serverless_cloud_blueprint.md for the full design.
Quick Start
Coming as scaffolding lands. For now:
# Rust toolchain (pinned via rust-toolchain.toml)
cargo check --workspace
# Run the all-in-one MVP binary (once main.rs is wired up)
cargo run -p picloud
