Fluksio¶

Fluksio is a node-based automation engine. You describe what should happen as a graph of small pieces of logic, and it keeps that graph running — reacting to what arrives, or executing once from parameters to a result.

Two very different jobs turn out to be the same shape, which is why the same engine does both:

• A house, a lab or a plant produces values forever. A sensor publishes, a rule fires, a relay closes, a dashboard on the wall shows what happened. The flow never ends.
• An experiment produces a value once. Parameters go in, stages execute, and at some point it is done and has left behind metrics, artifacts and a record you can compare against last month's.

The first is a live flow, the second is a run. Both are the same nodes, the same type checking, the same editor and the same API.

What you actually get¶

• A flow engine that owns your graph, checks the types on every edge, and keeps running when a node fails rather than taking the rest down with it.
• A canvas that lays flows out for you and an editor for the Python inside each node — with the running values drawn on the wires while you work.
• Dashboards built next to the logic that feeds them, including ones you can hang on a wall tablet that has no keyboard.
• Runs: parameters, metrics, artifacts, sweeps, and a queryable history — without a second server and without paying a project bootstrap per execution.
• Distributed workers: a node marked device: gpu runs on the machine that has one, which dials out to the engine rather than needing to be reachable.
• An HTTP API that came first — everything the browser does, you can do from a script — plus an MCP endpoint for agents.

Start here¶

The setup is genuinely different depending on what you are here for, so Getting started splits in two: one path installs a Python package and gets out of your way, the other stands up a server you will be running for years. Everything after that is shared.

If you would rather look before installing, the hosted demo at fluksio.com runs a real instance with a small-house panel and a training pipeline on it.

Where things are¶

Fluksio is self-hosted by default. An installation runs offline, keeps its data on its own disk, and never contacts anything unless you connect it to a portal yourself.
