OCTO Admin

Admin console for the OCTO platform — tenants, organisations, users, channels, and Lobster agent configuration from a single pane of glass.

octo-admin is the TypeScript / React console that platform operators use to manage an OCTO deployment. It is a thin front-end over octo-server's admin APIs — no business logic of its own, no side database. Everything you see or click turns into a call into the main OCTO backend.

🌟 Why OCTO Admin

• Operator console, not a second product. octo-admin only exposes what octo-server already supports through its admin APIs. No shadow schema, no drift between "what the admin UI can do" and "what the backend actually enforces".
• Separate surface, separate deploy. The admin UI is a distinct bundle so ops can publish it on an internal URL (VPN-only, SSO-gated) while the user-facing octo-web goes on the public edge.
• Built for day-2 work. Tenant bootstrap, org / user audit, channel moderation, Lobster agent feature-flag toggles, webhook rotation — the screens are tuned for the "run OCTO in production" workflow, not the first-demo one.

🚀 Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/Mininglamp-OSS/octo-admin.git
cd octo-admin
pnpm install
pnpm dev

By default the dev build points at http://localhost:8080 (the same octo-server instance you'd run for octo-web development). Copy .env.example to .env.local and edit VITE_ADMIN_API_* to aim it at a different backend.

For a production build:

pnpm build        # emits static assets under ./dist
# serve ./dist behind an SSO-aware reverse proxy (nginx / envoy / ...)

Docker deployments proxy the primary admin API through API_BACKEND and the Marketplace admin API through MARKETPLACE_BACKEND. Keep Marketplace admin authentication on the user's Octo login token; do not ship marketplace service credentials as VITE_* variables because Vite compiles them into the browser bundle.

📦 Modules / Architecture

Top-level layout:

octo-admin talks to octo-server over the /admin/* REST surface. It never talks to the primary database directly. Operator authentication is delegated to octo-server (SSO or admin-token), and every mutation must pass backend-side RBAC before it is persisted.

🧭 Philosophy

OCTO ships under three shared principles that apply to every repository in this matrix:

1. Local-first. Anything that can run on the user's own box — chats, embeddings, agents — should. Your data stays yours; cloud is a choice, not a requirement.
2. Humans judge, AI thinks and acts. Humans focus on taste (what matters, what's right, what to ship). Lobster agents — OpenClaw-powered digital doubles — carry the thinking and execution load.
3. Release-as-product. Every open-source cut is shipped as a self-contained product, not a code dump: one squash per release, Apache 2.0, no internal baggage, reproducible from this repo alone.
