# boocode

Self-hosted single-user developer chat app. 3-app monorepo: BooChat (read-only chat), BooCoder (write tools + agent dispatch), BooTerm (PTY terminals).

**Agent navigation:** [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) · **Architecture:** [`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) · **Engineering reference:** [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md)

## Stack

- Node 20, Fastify, postgres (porsager/postgres), ws, zod
- React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind v4, shadcn/ui
- Postgres 16
- pnpm workspaces

## Layout

- `apps/server` — Fastify API + WebSocket + inference loop + file-read tools
- `apps/web` — React frontend; served by Fastify in production, Vite in dev
- `apps/booterm` — Fastify + node-pty + tmux for in-browser terminal panes
- `apps/coder` — Fastify write tools + ACP/PTY dispatcher + MCP server (BooCoder)

## Local dev

Requires Node 20, pnpm, Docker (for Postgres), and ripgrep.

```bash
# install
pnpm install

# bring up postgres only
cp .env.example .env
# edit POSTGRES_PASSWORD if you like; default DATABASE_URL points at the container
docker compose up -d boocode_db

# run server (port 3000) and web (port 5173) in two shells
DATABASE_URL=postgres://boocode:devpass@127.0.0.1:5500/boochat \
LLAMA_SWAP_URL=http://100.101.41.16:8401 \
pnpm dev:server

pnpm dev:web
```

The Vite dev server proxies `/api` and `/api/ws/*` to the Fastify backend with a
synthetic `Remote-User: sam` header so the Authelia auth layer can be skipped
during development.

## Production

```bash
cd /opt/boocode
docker compose up --build -d
```

Binds to `100.114.205.53:9500` (Tailscale). Authelia is expected to gate the
upstream and inject `Remote-User`. Postgres binds loopback only.
