Closes the audit's Critical "operator can't deploy a serverless endpoint
end-to-end from the CLI" finding. Two new subcommand families bring the
CLI coverage from 14 commands to ~25:
- pic routes {ls, create, rm, check, match}: full route CRUD plus the
dry-run conflict checker and the URL matcher already exposed by the
dashboard. The create form accepts --path-kind, --host-kind, and
--dispatch (sync|async) so async routes can finally be created
headlessly. The ls output adds a dispatch column.
- pic admins {ls, create, show, set, rm}: per-instance admin user
management. Create reads passwords from stdin via --password - so
shell history never sees the cleartext. Set is a JSON-Merge-Patch
shape that lets operators deactivate accounts or rotate roles
without touching the dashboard.
Six new ignored integration tests follow the established #[ignore]
pattern (DATABASE_URL gates them). They cover the happy-path round
trip, the async-dispatch persistence path, the password-required
error path, and the capability gate (a Member sees HTTP 403). All
pass against the local dev stack with PICLOUD_DEV_MODE=true +
PICLOUD_DEV_INSECURE_KEY=i-understand-this-is-insecure.
The `pic members` and `pic domains` subcommands the audit mentioned
are deferred — the apps_api shape may shift in v1.2 with per-app
roles and rebuilding the CLI surface twice would be churn.

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
