Monorepo for wisp.place. A static site hosting service built on top of the AT Protocol.
wisp.place
nekomimi.pet
1The project is wisp.place. It is a static site hoster built on top of the AT Protocol. The overall basis of the project is that users upload site assets to their PDS as blobs, and creates a manifest record listing every blob as well as site name. The hosting service then catches events relating to the site (create, read, upload, delete) and handles them appropriately.

3The lexicons look like this:
4```typescript
5//place.wisp.fs
6interface Main {
7 $type: 'place.wisp.fs'
8 site: string
9 root: Directory
10 fileCount?: number
11 createdAt: string
12}
13
14interface File {
15 $type?: 'place.wisp.fs#file'
16 type: 'file'
17 blob: BlobRef
18 encoding?: 'gzip'
19 mimeType?: string
20 base64?: boolean
21}
22
23interface Directory {
24 $type?: 'place.wisp.fs#directory'
25 type: 'directory'
26 entries: Entry[]
27}
28
29interface Entry {
30 $type?: 'place.wisp.fs#entry'
31 name: string
32 node: $Typed<File> | $Typed<Directory> | $Typed<Subfs> | { $type: string }
33}
34
35interface Subfs {
36 $type?: 'place.wisp.fs#subfs'
37 type: 'subfs'
38 subject: string // AT-URI pointing to a place.wisp.subfs record
39 flat?: boolean
40}
41
42//place.wisp.subfs
43interface Main {
44 $type: 'place.wisp.subfs'
45 root: Directory
46 fileCount?: number
47 createdAt: string
48}
49
50interface File {
51 $type?: 'place.wisp.subfs#file'
52 type: 'file'
53 blob: BlobRef
54 encoding?: 'gzip'
55 mimeType?: string
56 base64?: boolean
57}
58
59interface Directory {
60 $type?: 'place.wisp.subfs#directory'
61 type: 'directory'
62 entries: Entry[]
63}
64
65interface Entry {
66 $type?: 'place.wisp.subfs#entry'
67 name: string
68 node: $Typed<File> | $Typed<Directory> | $Typed<Subfs> | { $type: string }
69}
70
71interface Subfs {
72 $type?: 'place.wisp.subfs#subfs'
73 type: 'subfs'
74 subject: string // AT-URI pointing to another place.wisp.subfs record
75}
76
77//place.wisp.settings
78interface Main {
79 $type: 'place.wisp.settings'
80 directoryListing: boolean
81 spaMode?: string
82 custom404?: string
83 indexFiles?: string[]
84 cleanUrls: boolean
85 headers?: CustomHeader[]
86}
87
88interface CustomHeader {
89 $type?: 'place.wisp.settings#customHeader'
90 name: string
91 value: string
92 path?: string // Optional glob pattern
93}
94```

96The main differences between place.wisp.fs and place.wisp.subfs:
97 - place.wisp.fs has a required site field
98 - place.wisp.fs#subfs has an optional flat field that place.wisp.subfs#subfs doesn't have

100The project is a monorepo. The package handler it uses for the typescript side is Bun. For the Rust cli, it is cargo.
101
102### Typescript Bun Workspace Layout
103
104Bun workspaces: `packages/@wisp/*`, `apps/main-app`, `apps/hosting-service`
105
106There are two typescript apps
107**`apps/main-app`** - Main backend (Bun + Elysia)
108
109- OAuth authentication and session management
110- Site CRUD operations via PDS
111- Custom domain management
112- Admin database view in /admin
113- React frontend in public/
114
115**`apps/hosting-service`** - CDN static file server (Node + Hono)
116
117- Watches AT Protocol firehose for `place.wisp.fs` record changes
118- Downloads and caches site files to disk
119- Serves sites at `https://sites.wisp.place/{did}/{site-name}` and custom domains
120- Handles redirects (`_redirects` file support) and routing logic
121- Backfill mode for syncing existing sites
122
123### Shared Packages (`packages/@wisp/*`)
124
125- **`lexicons`** - AT Protocol lexicons (`place.wisp.fs`, `place.wisp.subfs`, `place.wisp.settings`) with
126 generated TypeScript types
127- **`fs-utils`** - Filesystem tree building, manifest creation, subfs splitting logic
128- **`atproto-utils`** - AT Protocol helpers (blob upload, record operations, CID handling)
129- **`database`** - PostgreSQL schema and queries
130- **`constants`** - Shared constants (limits, file patterns, default settings)
131- **`observability`** - OpenTelemetry instrumentation
132- **`safe-fetch`** - Wrapped fetch with timeout/retry logic
133
134### CLI
135
136**`cli/`** - Rust CLI using Jacquard (AT Protocol library)
137- Direct PDS uploads without interacting with main-app
138- Can also do the same firehose watching, caching, and serving hosting-service does, just without domain management
139
140### Other Directories
141
142- **`docs/`** - Astro documentation site
143- **`binaries/`** - Compiled CLI binaries for distribution
