Playing around with this for a small amount of time, it is very neat but also there are a bunch of things that are unclear / undocumented (I assume the documentation is coming so I'm not faulting them for it not being there yet).

Some things that are unclear:

- How should I auth to github? sprite console doesn't use ssh (afaik) so I guess not agent forwarding?

- What on machine api's are available? Can I use the fly oidc provider[1]? There's a /.sprite/api.sock but curl'ing /v1/tokens/oidc gets a 404.

- How much is it going to cost me? I know there is pricing but its hard to figure out what actual usage would be like. Also I don't see any usage info in the webui right now.

Don't think of this as in any way connected to the Fly Machines API. For now, just take it on its own terms. We'll have an open-source local version of it relatively soon, if that clarifies anything.

To follow up on this a bit, something that I really want is a way to build and launch apps from an llm really easily. I am imagining and environment with a database, object storage, and a publicly reachable webserver. I think this could be that with OIDC auth to an s3 bucket and litestream.

I was previously thinking about doing the same thing on my homeserver with tailscale to expose the web interface publicly and tailscale oidc auth to an s3 bucket for object storage.

I have a Sprite with an auth token to an isolated Sprite org, it works really well for this.

SQLite works great for my apps. I haven't needed object storage yet, storing files on disk is enough.

i believe the .sprite dir has some stuff to help claude answer those questions. haven’t done it myself but my friend said he was able to get claude to set it all up for him (yolo mode helps) including connecting to github.
