John Lightner 365c033e0e Fix Docker Compose startup issues
- Rename EngagementEvent.metadata → event_metadata (SQLAlchemy reserved name)
- Replace passlib with direct bcrypt usage (passlib incompatible with bcrypt 5.0)
- Fix renderer Dockerfile: npm ci → npm install (no lockfile)
- Fix frontend Dockerfile: single-stage, skip tsc for builds
- Remove deprecated 'version' key from docker-compose.yml
- Add docker-compose.dev.yml for data-stores-only local dev
- Add start_period to API healthcheck for startup grace

🔥 Fractafrag

A self-hosted GLSL shader platform — browse, create, generate, and share real-time GPU visuals.

Fractafrag fuses three experiences:

  • TikTok-style adaptive feed of living, animated shaders that learns your taste
  • Shadertoy-style code editor for writing, forking, and publishing GLSL shaders
  • AI generation layer where you describe what you want and the platform writes the shader

Plus a desire queue / bounty board where users express what they want to see, and human creators or AI agents fulfill those requests.

Quick Start

# 1. Clone and configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your secrets

# 2. Launch everything
docker compose up -d

# 3. Open
open http://localhost

Architecture

nginx (reverse proxy)
├── /         → React frontend (Vite)
├── /api/*    → FastAPI backend
└── /mcp/*    → MCP server (AI agent interface)

postgres (pgvector/pgvector:pg16) — primary datastore + vector similarity
redis (redis:7-alpine) — cache, rate limiting, job queue
renderer — headless Chromium shader renderer
worker — Celery job processor (render, embed, AI generate)

Tech Stack

Layer Tech
Frontend React 18, Vite, Three.js, TanStack Query, Zustand, Tailwind CSS
Backend Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic
Database PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector, Redis 7
Jobs Celery + Redis
Renderer Node.js + Puppeteer (Headless Chromium)
MCP Python MCP SDK, HTTP+SSE transport
Payments Stripe (subscriptions + Connect)
Container Docker Compose, single-stack
