Brings up the whole platform behind a single Caddy entrypoint so the
routing topology can be exercised end-to-end before any feature code
lands. Same Caddyfile shape (admin / data plane / dashboard) maps to
single-process MVP today and will map to cluster mode later by
swapping the upstream lists, not by restructuring the proxy.
* caddy/Caddyfile — dev: HTTP only, picloud and dashboard upstreams
by service name. caddy/Caddyfile.prod — Let's Encrypt for
PICLOUD_DOMAIN with PICLOUD_ADMIN_EMAIL.
* docker/orchestrator.Dockerfile — multi-stage build of the
`picloud` all-in-one against the pinned 1.92 toolchain; debian
slim runtime, non-root user, /healthz HEALTHCHECK.
* docker/dashboard.Dockerfile — node:24-alpine builder + caddy
runtime that serves the static SPA with SPA fallback.
* docker-compose.yml — postgres + picloud + dashboard + caddy,
Caddy exposed on host :8000 (configurable), Postgres on :15432
(loopback only). Health-gated startup ordering.
* docker-compose.prod.yml — overlay: removes Postgres host
mapping, expands Caddy to 80/443/443udp, swaps Caddyfile.prod,
adds restart policy.
* .env.example documents every knob the compose stack reads.
Verified via `docker compose up -d`:
* `curl :8000/healthz` → 200 ok (orchestrator)
* `curl :8000/api/admin/scripts` → 404 (manager, routed correctly)
* `curl :8000/api/execute/<id>` → 404 (orchestrator, routed correctly)
* `curl :8000/` → SPA index served (dashboard via Caddy)
* `curl :8000/favicon.svg` → 200 image/svg+xml
* Postgres healthy and reachable on 127.0.0.1:15432.

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
