Vicinae Backend

Backend for the Vicinae extension store.

Currently hosted by @aurelleb on a hetzner VPS.

Architecture

The architecture of this service is very simple on purpose.

• Hono to serve web requests
• Prisma + sqlite to maintain the list of available extensions in database
• Assets and extension code stored on the local filesystem (could be easily moved to an actual object storage service if needed)

Vicinae integration

The Vicinae extension store command makes requests to this backend service to retrieve extension-related content.

Vicinae does not contact the service outside of this command.
