boocode

Self-hosted single-user developer chat app. v1: chat only.

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

Local dev

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

# 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/boocode \
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

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.

What v1 has

Project sidebar, sessions per project, chat with streaming responses over WebSocket, four file-read tools scoped to the project root (view_file, list_dir, grep, find_files), and a model picker driven by llama-swap's /v1/models.

What v1 does not have lives in v2 (terminal pane) and v3 (Coder pane).
