The editor folder select was a flat list making it impossible to distinguish subfolder nesting. Now builds a tree and renders with └ prefix indentation (e.g. " └ Projects" under "Work"). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Switchboard Core
A self-hosted extension platform. Identity, teams, permissions, workflows, and a package system. Everything else ships as installable extensions.
What This Is
Switchboard Core is the kernel. It provides the primitives that extensions build on: users, teams, groups, scoped credentials, a Starlark sandbox, workflow orchestration, notifications, and a package installer. It does not include AI chat, providers, personas, or any domain-specific features — those are all extension packages.
Stack
- Backend: Go / Gin
- Frontend: Preact + htm (no build step)
- Database: PostgreSQL (production) + SQLite (dev/test/edge)
- Sandbox: Starlark with capability-gated modules
- Deployment: Single Docker image, Kubernetes
Quick Start
# Docker (recommended)
docker compose up --build
# → http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)
# Or from source
git clone <repo-url> && cd switchboard-core
cp server/.env.example server/.env # edit DB credentials
cd server && go run .
# → http://localhost:8080
Bundled packages (workflows, surfaces, task manager) are auto-installed on first boot. See Distribution Guide for production deployment and customization.
Kernel Features
- Auth: Builtin password, mTLS (client cert), OIDC (Keycloak et al.)
- Teams & Groups: Horizontal isolation + vertical permissions
- Packages: Unified registry for surfaces, extensions, libraries, workflows
- Starlark Sandbox: Capability-gated server-side scripting for extensions
- Workflows: Staged processes with forms, review, and webhooks
- Connections: Scoped credential storage (global/team/personal), AES-256-GCM encrypted
- Notifications: In-app with per-type preferences
- Audit Log: All admin operations logged
- Object Storage: PVC or S3-compatible
- Multi-Replica HA: PG-backed WS tickets and rate limit counters

Project Status
v0.3.8 — Distribution. Bundled packages auto-install on first boot, builder image for faster custom builds, per-environment package allowlists. See ROADMAP.md for the full journey from v0.1.0 kernel extraction through v0.3.x workflows to the upcoming v0.4.0 Notes surface.
