- Rename Go module switchboard-core → armature (155+ files) - Rename Docker image → gobha/armature - Rename K8s resources, secrets, deployments - Rename Prometheus metrics switchboard_* → armature_* - Rename env vars SWITCHBOARD_ADMIN_* → ARMATURE_ADMIN_* - Rename DB names switchboard_core* → armature* - Update all frontend branding, notification templates, docs - Update CI scripts, e2e tests, Keycloak realm, nginx conf - Rename scripts/switchboard-ca.sh → scripts/armature-ca.sh - Rename k8s/switchboard.yaml → k8s/armature.yaml - Rename chart alerting/dashboard files - Fix: DockerHub push uses env: binding for secret injection - Helm chart updated (name, labels, template functions, dashboard, alerting) - Replace favicon/icon assets with Armature brand No functional changes. Pure mechanical rename + CI fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Armature
A self-hosted extension platform. Identity, teams, permissions, workflows, and a package system. Everything else ships as installable extensions.
What This Is
Armature 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 armature
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
v0.5.0 — Realtime pub/sub primitive, dialog audit, and admin permissions
UI. Extensions can now publish events to WebSocket channels via Starlark;
clients subscribe with sw.realtime.subscribe(). Admin Packages page gains
per-permission grant/revoke controls and status badges. See
ROADMAP.md for the full journey from v0.1.0 kernel extraction
through v0.3.x workflows, v0.4.x Notes surface, to v0.5.x realtime and chat.
