Driven by adopting lakehouse (an existing daemon that bundles its own SPA) — see docs/findings-lakehouse.md. #3 deploy reloads the gateway. castle deploy regenerated the Caddyfile but left the running Caddy on the old config, so new proxy routes were silently dead. Deploy now reloads the gateway when it's running. #1 castle expose <program>. Turns an adopted program into a service (run/port/health/proxy/systemd) in one command — the missing daemon-to-service step. Flags: --port --health --path --run --port-env --host --no-proxy. #2 port_env mapping. A service can declare expose.http.internal.port_env so castle sets the env var the program actually reads (e.g. lakehoused reads LAKEHOUSED_DAEMON_PORT, not castle's convention LAKEHOUSE_PORT). Castle now genuinely drives an adopted daemon's bind port. #4a auto-base for react-vite. The build passes VITE_BASE = the gateway serve prefix (/<name>/, or / for castle-app); vite.config reads it. A castle-built frontend now works at its subpath with no hand-tuned base. castle-app's vite.config updated as the reference. #4b host-based routing. proxy.caddy.host routes a whole hostname to the backend root via a host matcher inside the :9000 site, so a root-based SPA (base="/") serves unchanged — the fix for proxying an app castle can't rebuild. Caddyfile now emits 'auto_https off' (HTTP-only gateway on a non-standard port). Nit: activate skips the editable reinstall when the tool is already on PATH. Tests: core 94, cli 24, api 52; ruff + app build clean. Verified live: lakehouse runs under systemd, API at /lakehouse, full UI (SPA boots) via host routing.
React + TypeScript + Vite
This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.
Currently, two official plugins are available:
- @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel (or oxc when used in rolldown-vite) for Fast Refresh
- @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh
React Compiler
The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.
Expanding the ESLint configuration
If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type-aware lint rules:
export default defineConfig([
globalIgnores(['dist']),
{
files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
extends: [
// Other configs...
// Remove tseslint.configs.recommended and replace with this
tseslint.configs.recommendedTypeChecked,
// Alternatively, use this for stricter rules
tseslint.configs.strictTypeChecked,
// Optionally, add this for stylistic rules
tseslint.configs.stylisticTypeChecked,
// Other configs...
],
languageOptions: {
parserOptions: {
project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
},
// other options...
},
},
])
You can also install eslint-plugin-react-x and eslint-plugin-react-dom for React-specific lint rules:
// eslint.config.js
import reactX from 'eslint-plugin-react-x'
import reactDom from 'eslint-plugin-react-dom'
export default defineConfig([
globalIgnores(['dist']),
{
files: ['**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
extends: [
// Other configs...
// Enable lint rules for React
reactX.configs['recommended-typescript'],
// Enable lint rules for React DOM
reactDom.configs.recommended,
],
languageOptions: {
parserOptions: {
project: ['./tsconfig.node.json', './tsconfig.app.json'],
tsconfigRootDir: import.meta.dirname,
},
// other options...
},
},
])
