Self-hosted, read-only workflow viewer for DBOS Transact — FastAPI backend.

dbos-argus

Self-hosted, read-only workflow viewer for DBOS Transact.

Argus is a web dashboard for the durable workflows your DBOS apps are already running. It opens a read-only connection to the same Postgres your DBOS app uses and renders the workflow state from dbos.workflow_status and friends. No agents, no app-side wiring, no schema of its own.

This is the PyPI package: a FastAPI backend with the SvelteKit console SPA bundled inside the wheel. One uvx away.

For production workflow operations, use DBOS Conductor — the DBOS-supported management service for recovery, retention, alerting, and team controls. Argus is a dev-focused companion for inspecting workflow state.

Quick start

Point at the same Postgres your DBOS app writes to. Open http://localhost:8090.

uvx (no install)

uvx dbos-argus --db-url "postgresql://USER:PASS@localhost:5432/YOURDB"

pipx

pipx install dbos-argus
dbos-argus --db-url "postgresql://USER:PASS@localhost:5432/YOURDB"

Docker

docker run --rm -p 8090:8090 \
  -e ARGUS_DATABASE_URL="postgresql://USER:[e-mail]:5432/YOURDB" \
  tmarkovski/dbos-argus:latest

A bare postgresql:// URL is fine — Argus rewrites the scheme to postgresql+asyncpg:// for you. For Azure Database for PostgreSQL hosts, sslmode=require is enabled by default.

Configuration

	Purpose
--db-url / ARGUS_DATABASE_URL	Postgres URL your DBOS app writes to
ARGUS_CORS_ORIGINS	Comma-separated allowed origins (only when serving the console from a different host than the API)
