Dasemu b8f5d8253f feat: SQLite-backed installations, REST API, admin auth and web UI
Replaces the slice-2 hardcoded installation with a full install/deploy
pipeline:

- SQLite persistence (better-sqlite3) with a single `installations`
  table and a draft -> cloning -> building -> built -> starting ->
  running/error/stopped state machine; env vars and bearer tokens are
  encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM, key derived from MASTER_KEY).
- Build/run orchestration: git clone (+ .env.example key detection),
  `nixpacks build` as a logged subprocess, dockerode container
  run/stop with forced host/port env vars and a TCP-connect health
  check before flipping an installation to "running".
- REST API (installations CRUD, build/deploy/redeploy, logs, token
  regeneration) behind single-operator session-cookie auth with a
  basic login lockout.
- Vite+React admin SPA: login, installation list, install wizard, and
  a detail page to configure env vars, trigger build/deploy/redeploy,
  view the build log, and copy the authenticated /mcp/<slug> URL.
- Dockerfile (multi-stage, pulls in nixpacks + the Docker CLI) and
  docker-compose.yml for production deployment.

Validated end-to-end against a real cloned repo: draft creation with
env-key detection, build, the error path on a failed health check, and
delete, all through the live API.

remote-mcp-manager

Self-hosted manager for MCP servers: install one from a GitHub repo URL, configure its env vars, build it with Nixpacks (no Dockerfile needed in the source repo), run it in a container, and get back an authenticated https://<your-domain>/mcp/<slug> URL guarded by a bearer token.

Quick start (production, Docker)

cp .env.example .env   # fill in ADMIN_PASSWORD, SESSION_SECRET, MASTER_KEY, PUBLIC_BASE_URL
docker compose up -d --build

Put your own reverse proxy (nginx, etc.) in front of port 3000 for TLS and your public domain.

Local development (Podman)

Requires nixpacks and a docker CLI pointed at your Podman socket (e.g. via the podman-docker package) on your PATH.

npm install
DOCKER_SOCKET_PATH=/run/user/$(id -u)/podman/podman.sock \
DATA_DIR=./data MASTER_KEY=... SESSION_SECRET=... ADMIN_PASSWORD=... \
  npm run dev:server

Because rootless Podman isolates the host network namespace from the container bridge, the manager itself must run as a container attached to mcp-net to reach the MCP containers it manages — running it directly on the host only works for routes that don't need to reach a sibling container (e.g. /health, /api/auth).

Known limitations

  • Nixpacks needs a dependency manifest (requirements.txt/pyproject.toml for Python, package.json for Node) in the installed repo. Repos without one will fail to build; the full build log is always visible in the UI to diagnose this.
  • No per-container resource limits, image garbage collection, or multi-user support yet.
  • Builds run one at a time.
Description
A self-hosted Docker manager for deploying MCP servers (yours or third-party) straight from a GitHub repository, with automatic builds (Nixpacks), environment variable configuration, and a reverse proxy that issues an authenticated token link, all from an admin panel.
