v2.0.0-pre.2 — Public pre-release of Pryv.io v2

What is this?

This is the first public pre-release of Open Pryv.io v2 — a ground-up rewrite of the Pryv.io core server with pluggable storage, single-image Docker deployment, and built-in multi-core support.

Pre-release: This version is under active development. For the last stable v1 release, see the release/1.9.3 branch.

Major changes from v1

• Pluggable storage engines — MongoDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, InfluxDB, filesystem, rqlite. Engines are plugins under storages/engines/ with manifest-driven configuration.
• Unified master process — single bin/master.js manages N API workers + M HFS workers + optional previews worker. Single Docker image (pryvio/core) replaces multi-container orchestration.
• Built-in user registration — no external service-register needed. Registration fully self-contained via PlatformDB (rqlite).
• Built-in MFA — SMS-based two-factor authentication as mfa.* API methods (activate, confirm, challenge, verify, deactivate, recover).
• rqlite for PlatformDB — distributed platform storage for single- and multi-core deployments with Raft consensus.
• Multi-core deployments — HTTP 421 wrong-core routing, DNS-based or DNSless topology, platform-config-snapshot hash comparison for drift detection.
• Backup, restore & integrity — engine-agnostic backup to JSONL+gzip, per-user integrity verification with SHA-256 hashes.
