The canonical instance -- the one with her actual writing -- turned out to be the least protected thing in the estate: - No scheduled backup at all; the newest snapshot was a month old. Now petal-backup.timer: VACUUM INTO, gzip, age-encrypt with the parodia public recipient, push to the VPS over headscale with a size check, prune both ends. Persistent=true because the box is not on 24/7. Neither machine can decrypt what it holds; the identity is offline. - Petal ran as a bare ./petal with PPID 1, so a crash or reboot left it down until somebody noticed. Now petal.service, verified by kill -9. - The Piper units retried forever without ever failing: RestartSec=3 against systemd's default 10s window means the burst limit is never reached, which is how a dead service logged 26,800+ restarts over a day while read-aloud silently fell back to browser speech. StartLimitIntervalSec=300 makes a broken Piper show up in --failed. backup-petal.sh now handles both deployment shapes (compose exec on the VPS, local binary on millenia) and encrypts before anything leaves the host. The VPS no longer uses it -- Petal rides parodia-backup there.
🌸 Petal
A self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor with warm bubbly design, auto-save, and
local-LLM grammar/ESL suggestions. See petal-spec.md for the full
design spec and BUILD_PLAN.md for build progress.
Stack
Go + chi backend · SQLite (modernc, pure Go) · React + Vite + Tiptap + Tailwind v4 frontend ·
local vLLM/Ollama for AI suggestions. Single-binary deployment (frontend embedded via go:embed).
Local development
Two processes during development:
# 1. Backend (serves /api on :8080)
go run ./cmd/server
# 2. Frontend dev server (HMR on :5173, proxies /api → :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
Open http://localhost:5173 while developing.
Production build (single binary)
cd web && npm run build # emits web/dist (embedded by the Go binary)
cd .. && go build -o petal ./cmd/server
./petal # serves UI + API on :8080
Configuration is via environment variables — copy .env.example to .env.
Deployment
docker compose up -d --build # petal + the two Piper read-aloud sidecars
Behind Traefik on the parodia.dev VPS; vLLM stays on millenia over headscale.
Full runbook — first deploy, the LLM link, backups and restore — in
deploy/README.md.
Status
Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik OIDC) is next; Copyleaks plagiarism is
still parked — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
