etherion 0.1.6

Self-hosted AI orchestration platform — agentic runtime you own end-to-end

Etherion

The self-hosted agentic platform. You own it entirely.

---

Etherion is an autonomous, goal-oriented AI platform you deploy on your own hardware. Give it a business objective — it decomposes, executes, and synthesises the result using a team of AI specialists. No task breakdowns. No SaaS lock-in. No data leaving your infrastructure.

User: "Analyse my top 50 customers for churn risk and draft personalised emails"

Platform: → Decomposes goal → Selects specialists → Executes in parallel
          → Reads your CRM (Jira / HubSpot / Shopify) → Writes emails
          → Delivers results. Done.

# 2. Edit .env (API keys, database password, etc.)

# 3. Boot infrastructure  (Postgres + Redis + MinIO via Docker Compose)
etherion bootstrap --mode docker

# 4. Run migrations
etherion migrate

# 5. Create first tenant
etherion tenant create --email [e-mail] --password yourpass

# 6. Start API
etherion serve

# 7. Open the terminal UI
etherion-tui

That's it. Visit http://localhost:8080/graphql for the API playground.

Every tenant is fully isolated at the database layer via Row-Level Security — not just application logic. A bug in application code cannot cause cross-tenant data leaks.

What Makes It Different

Goal-Oriented Execution

The Orchestrator agent receives a goal, builds a checklist, picks specialists, and executes — no manual task decomposition required.

Natural Language Agent Creation

"Create an agent that watches my Shopify store for abandoned carts
 and sends personalised recovery emails with a 10% discount code."

The platform designs the architecture, connects your tools, wires the knowledge base, and deploys it.

Knowledge Base Without Hallucinations

Every query forces a live web search alongside retrieval. The platform never answers from stale embeddings alone.

Full Operator Control

• Run on bare metal, VMs, or Docker
• All data stays on your infrastructure
• Secrets injected into RAM via Vault — never written to disk
• OAuth apps registered by YOU, not by us

---

Features

Area	Details
Orchestration	Checklist-based 2N+1 loop, parallel specialist dispatch, full audit trail
Knowledge base	pgvector semantic search, per-tenant RLS, multimodal (PDF, images, text)
OAuth integrations	GitHub, Google, Slack, Microsoft 365, Notion, Jira, HubSpot, Linear, Shopify
Object storage	MinIO — per-tenant buckets, presigned URLs, artifact management
Secrets	HashiCorp Vault — secrets injected at runtime, never persisted in env
TUI	Bubble Tea — onboarding wizard, OAuth manager, live job monitor, tenant switcher
CLI	etherion init / bootstrap / migrate / serve / tenant / status
API	FastAPI + GraphQL subscriptions, REST, WebSocket, multipart upload
Auth	JWT, multi-provider OAuth login, invite-only onboarding, per-tenant RLS
Real-time	Redis Pub/Sub → GraphQL subscriptions → live execution traces in UI

CLI Reference

etherion init          Scaffold .env and docker-compose in current directory
etherion bootstrap     Start infrastructure (--mode docker | nix)
etherion migrate       Run Alembic database migrations
etherion serve         Start the API server
etherion worker        Start Celery worker  (start | beat)
etherion tenant        Manage tenants and users
etherion status        Health-check: Postgres, Redis, MinIO, API, Worker

Deployment Modes

Mode	Command	When to use
Docker	--mode docker	First install, dev, single server
Nix	--mode nix	Bare-metal, fully declarative, reproducible prod

For production, the Nix mode provisions the full stack declaratively: NixOS → Matchbox → Ansible → systemd + MinIO + Vault.

Contributing

Etherion uses an agent-first contribution model. Before writing a single line, your AI agent must read:

1. Z/tech.md — full architecture
2. Z/agents.md — contribution workflow and standards

Every PR must include a contribution log (Logs/Daily/<your-email>) and a Z/tech.md update. See Z/agents.md for the full workflow.
