# run.dev

> AI-native local dev environment. One dashboard. All your services. Zero config files to babysit.

run.dev (binary: `rundev`) is a single Rust binary that replaces MAMP, nginx configs, and Docker Compose for local development. It provides a TUI dashboard, automatic local domains with real HTTPS, a reverse proxy, process management, and AI-powered crash diagnosis via Claude.

## Who it's for

Developers running multiple services locally — microservices, frontends, APIs. Anyone tired of opening 6 terminal tabs every morning and fighting "address already in use" before their first coffee.

## Key features

- TUI dashboard: see every project and service at a glance, start/stop with a keystroke
- Automatic local domains: `api.myapp.local`, `frontend.myapp.local` with real HTTPS
- Zero-config SSL: mkcert (CA-trusted, works with .app/.dev TLDs) or rcgen fallback
- Reverse proxy: SNI-based HTTPS routing from pretty URLs to localhost ports
- Process management: spawn, monitor, restart with CPU/RAM stats per service
- Smart project scanning: detects package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, manage.py, Gemfile, Procfile
- AI crash diagnosis: Claude reads stderr and explains what went wrong
- Mood system: vibing, chill, got the flu, wounded, flatlined, fixing

## How it works

1. Browser requests `https://api.myapp.local`
2. /etc/hosts resolves to 127.0.0.1
3. Port 443 forwards to 8443 via pfctl (macOS) or iptables (Linux)
4. run.dev's HTTPS proxy reads SNI, picks the right SSL cert
5. Host header maps to a route, traffic proxies to the service's localhost port

## Tech stack

- Language: Rust 2021 edition
- TUI: ratatui + crossterm
- Async: tokio
- HTTPS: tokio-rustls + rustls
- SSL certs: mkcert (preferred) or rcgen (fallback)
- AI: Anthropic Claude API via local proxy
- Config: serde + serde_yaml

## Install

```bash
curl -fsSL https://getrun.dev/install.sh | bash
```

Or build from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/danieltamas/run.dev.git
cd run.dev
make install
```

Requirements: Rust toolchain. No Node, Python, Docker, or external certificate tools needed.

## CLI commands

- `rundev` — open the TUI dashboard
- `rundev up [project]` — start project(s) and open dashboard
- `rundev down [project]` — stop project(s)
- `rundev status` — quick status check
- `rundev list` — list all projects and services
- `rundev doctor` — health check (ports, certs, hosts, helper)
- `rundev clean` — stop everything, remove /etc/hosts entries
- `rundev setup` — install privileged helper + port forwarding

## Config

Everything lives in `~/.config/rundev/` (or `~/Library/Application Support/rundev/` on macOS):

- `projects/*.yaml` — one YAML per project (name, domain, services with path/command/port/subdomain)
- `certs/` — auto-generated SSL certificates
- `config.yaml` — global settings (Claude proxy URL, theme)
- `state.json` — PID persistence for background mode

## Architecture

Modules: `app.rs` (state machine + event loop), `core/config.rs` (YAML project configs), `core/process.rs` (lifecycle management), `core/proxy.rs` (HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy), `core/ssl.rs` (cert generation), `core/hosts.rs` (/etc/hosts management), `core/scanner.rs` (project detection), `core/resources.rs` (CPU/RAM monitoring), `ai/diagnose.rs` (Claude crash diagnosis), `ai/mood.rs` (personality system), `ui/dashboard.rs` (TUI rendering), `ui/command.rs` (AI command bar).
