Planned Docker & Packaging

One-Command Install with Docker

Package Sound Suite as a Docker image with safe, zero-data-loss upgrades and publish to the Docker MCP Catalog for one-click Claude Desktop integration.

  • Containerize the appdocker compose up brings the full stack online with Redis, persistent volumes, and healthchecks
  • Safe upgrade mechanics — automatic pre-migration backups, version handshake to prevent accidental downgrades, enforced prisma migrate deploy only
  • Semver release pipeline — image tags (:stable, :latest, exact versions), automated upgrade test matrix before promotion
  • MCP slim image — lightweight MCP-only container for Docker Desktop's MCP Toolkit, no manual config files needed
  • Unified data directory — single volume for SQLite, LanceDB, exhibits, and backups with versioned layout for future-proof migrations
Planned GPU & Cloud

RunPod Cloud GPU Overflow

When your local GPU is fully loaded, automatically route excess work to RunPod cloud GPUs. Pay per-second, zero idle cost.

  • Auto mode switching — orchestrator detects workload and switches between indexing and searching modes automatically
  • RunPod integration — serverless endpoints for embedding/reranking, on-demand pods for completion/OCR with auto-shutdown on idle
  • Cost controls — configurable hourly, daily, and monthly spend limits with automatic enforcement and 80% threshold alerts
  • Admin settings page — configure API key, GPU preferences, per-role overflow toggles, and monitor active cloud instances with live cost tracking
Planned Framework

Next.js & Prisma Upgrades

Incremental, zero-data-loss upgrades to the latest framework versions for better performance and reliability.

  • Next.js 16.2 — minor patch upgrade with Turbopack production build support now fully stable
  • Prisma 7 with better-sqlite3 — native SQLite driver adapter that properly honors WAL mode and busy_timeout, eliminating intermittent lock errors during concurrent ingestion
  • Smaller Docker image — Prisma 7 drops the Rust engine binary, reducing package size by ~90%
Future Database

PostgreSQL + pgvector (When Needed)

Currently deferred — SQLite + LanceDB serves single-user local deployments well. Migration planned only when the use case demands it.

  • Triggers — multi-user access, remote server deployment, 10,000+ documents, or compliance requirements
  • Quick wins now — centralize VectorStore access, add orphan detection, LanceDB compaction, and tunable busy_timeout
