Daemon¶

What it runs¶

The daemon is the local FastAPI routing hub on 127.0.0.1:8377 by default. It owns peer registration, message routing, ask state, schedules, durable jobs, dashboard routes, attachments, relay client connections, and lazy repair.

Service lifecycle¶

Run it in the foreground while debugging:

repowire serve

For normal use, repowire setup installs the service appropriate for the platform. Use repowire status and repowire doctor to inspect the local install.

Operating notes¶

• The daemon is local-first. The relay is optional and uses outbound WSS.
• Auth is configured through daemon.auth_token.
• Repair work is request-driven; Repowire does not add polling loops for liveness or persistence.
