- Extract all deploy logic from CLI into castle-core/deploy.py as a reusable deploy() function
* Resolves services/jobs to DeployedComponents
* Generates systemd units and Caddyfile
* Copies frontend assets and reloads systemd
* Returns DeployResult with deployed count and messages
- Simplify CLI deploy command to a thin wrapper calling castle_core.deploy()
- Add POST /deploy endpoint to castle-api for remote deployment management
* Supports optional {name} body param to deploy one or all services
* Returns deployment result as JSON
- Register deploy router in castle-api main.py
- Update README with new deploy endpoint documentation
This enables full remote management: build, test, lint, and deploy any castle
node over HTTP (e.g. POST http://node:9000/api/deploy)
- Added base_url field to DeployedComponent for external URL proxying
- Updated Caddyfile generator to proxy to base_url when present instead of requiring local port
- Added runner: remote handling in deploy command (returns empty run_cmd, marks as unmanaged)
- Reformatted long ternary expression in registry.py for readability
This enables castle to manage services that proxy to external endpoints without requiring a local process.
Move all instance state into ~/.castle/ with clear separation:
- code/ — user project source (was components/)
- artifacts/ — generated specs, built content (was generated/, static/)
- data/ — service runtime data (was /data/castle/)
- secrets/ — credentials
castle.yaml moves to ~/.castle/castle.yaml as the canonical location.
Source paths use repo: prefix for git repo programs (castle-api, app)
and relative paths for user projects (code/central-context).
Add idempotent install.sh for bootstrapping infrastructure (Docker,
Caddy, MQTT, Postgres, Neo4j) with interactive service detection.
Remove components/ from repo (now in ~/.castle/code/), deinit
submodules, remove .gitmodules.
- Updated the terminology from "components" to "programs" across the codebase, including in config loading, saving, and manifest specifications.
- Introduced a new `stacks.py` file to handle lifecycle actions for development stacks, implementing handlers for Python and React Vite stacks.
- Adjusted tests to reflect the new program structure and ensure proper functionality.
- Revised documentation to align with the new terminology and structure, ensuring clarity on the purpose and configuration of programs, services, and jobs.
