A WordPress-inspired CMS whose entire backend is PiCloud Rhai scripts deployed with pic apply, plus a SvelteKit frontend. Built to dogfood the project tool, CLI, and SDK; exercises docs/kv/files/users, docs+queue+cron +pubsub triggers, the transactional-outbox notification chain, a docs before-interceptor, set_if CAS, SSE, per-app CORS, env overlays, and a durable Workflow (validate -> enrich || seo -> publish -> finalize) started with workflow::start and polled with workflow::run_status, visualized live with Svelte Flow. FINDINGS.md / SECURITY.md capture every gap, surprise, and security issue found (each tagged [PiCloud] vs [CMS]); the platform fixes for the actionable ones ship in the preceding commit. Also folds in the read-only `pic` allowlist entries added to .claude/settings.json during the session (fewer-permission-prompts). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
