Databases for hosted apps, and a backend kit that gives server-rendered apps guest accounts:
one Postgres on the apps server with a database per app, the spotcraft dev command to run
the same setup locally, and the dashboard to see and delete an app's users.

Before deploying, add the POSTGRES_AGENT_PASSWORD secret (see Upgrading).

Added

  • Postgres on the apps server (postgres service, Postgres 18), the base for databases for
    hosted apps. Reachable only inside Docker; the superuser only over the local socket.
  • App databases: database: true (the dashboard's Database checkbox) gives an app its own
    Postgres role and database as DATABASE_URL. Removing an app keeps its database unless you
    also choose to delete it (?purge=true). When the agent starts, it brings every app database
    up to date.
  • Backend kit (@spotcraft/kit on npm): guest accounts for server-rendered apps on Better
    Auth. Server-only: an httpOnly session cookie, no auth routes, and it fails to bundle for the
    browser. currentGuest reads without creating, so apps create guests only when a visitor
    saves something, not for every page view or crawler. New guests are limited per client
    address, and the kit checks the auth schema version.
  • spotcraft dev (spotcraft on npm): the apps server's Postgres and app database setup on
    your machine (start, stop, status, env --write, reset, migrate).
  • App users: for apps with a database, the dashboard lists their users (guests and
    registered, created, last seen) and deletes one with everything the app kept for them. The
    agent's API has GET /apps/:name/users and DELETE /apps/:name/users/:id.
  • Dashboard: a Database checkbox when adding or editing an app, the database in the app's
    settings, and "Also delete its database" when removing it.
  • npm packages published by CI on release tags, with provenance. Their APIs join the public
    API (ADR 0019).
  • Guide: Guest accounts with the backend kit,
    for a SvelteKit app locally and on Spotcraft.

Changed

  • The Deploy workflow needs a new secret, POSTGRES_AGENT_PASSWORD, on the production
    environment. The apps server needs about 1 GB more memory.

Security

  • Each app's role can open only its own database, and can't change the auth schema, which
    Spotcraft owns and migrates. The built-in databases are closed to everyone but the agent's
    role, which can create databases and roles but is not a superuser.
  • An app's database password is generated by the agent and kept with mode 600. The agent's API
    never returns it.
  • Two zlib CVEs in the distroless base image (CVE-2026-85091, CVE-2026-76844) are accepted
    until 2026-12-08: nothing in the images loads that zlib, and no fixed base image exists yet.

Upgrading from 0.1:

  1. Add POSTGRES_AGENT_PASSWORD (openssl rand -hex 32) to the production environment.
    Without it, the deploy stops with "POSTGRES_AGENT_PASSWORD is empty".
  2. Run the Deploy workflow with 0.2.0. Hosted apps keep running; they only get a database
    once you tick Database.
