Every admin endpoint now resolves Capability for the loaded resource and calls authz::require(...) before mutating. Forbidden → 403; every handler State carries an Arc<dyn AuthzRepo>, plumbed from the new PostgresAppMembersRepository in the picloud binary. * api.rs (scripts): AppRead/AppWriteScript/AppLogRead bound to script.app_id after load. List branches on instance_role: Member → list_for_user, others → list (or ?app= filtered). * apps_api.rs: InstanceCreateApp on POST; AppRead on get/list_domains; AppAdmin on patch/delete/slug:check; AppManageDomains on create_domain/delete_domain. list_apps membership-filters for Member. * admin_users_api.rs: InstanceManageUsers on every endpoint. Mint + PATCH refuse to grant Owner unless the caller is already Owner (CannotEscalate / 422), on top of the existing last-owner guard. * route_admin.rs: AppRead on list/check/match; AppWriteRoute on create/delete bound to the route's actual app_id (added a RouteRepository::get(uuid) lookup so delete binds correctly). * AppRepository + ScriptRepository gain list_for_user(user_id) for membership-filtered listings.

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
