# 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
```bash
# 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](docs/DISTRIBUTION.md) 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
## Documentation
- [Distribution Guide](docs/DISTRIBUTION.md) — Docker, bundled packages, builder image, production deployment
- [Architecture](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) — kernel components and design reasoning
- [Roadmap](ROADMAP.md) — current status and planned milestones
- [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) — version history
## 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](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.
