Show HN: UruFlow – Terminal-based deployment tool with custom TCP protocol

2•musnas•1h ago
UruFlow is a self-hosted deployment engine designed for teams who prefer terminals over browser dashboards.

Architecture: server + agents communicating over UFP (UruFlow Protocol), a custom binary protocol built for real-time bidirectional streaming.

Why not HTTP: Traditional tools poll for updates. UruFlow pushes. When a deploy triggers, the agent receives the command instantly. Logs stream line-by-line as they execute — not on refresh, not batched, actual real-time.

UFP wire format: - Header: magic bytes (0x55 0x46) + version + type + payload length - Body: JSON - Message types: auth, metrics, commands, health checks - Persistent TCP connection with TLS support

The server runs a full TUI, The agent handles git operations, Docker builds, and streams output back through UFP.

Technical choices: - Go, single binary for server and agent - SQLite for state - Bubbletea for TUI

Supports Docker Compose, Dockerfile, Makefile builds. GitHub/GitLab webhooks for auto-deploy.
