'''LuisCloud''' is a real, multi-user cloud hosting platform giving each account its own genuinely isolated Linux user on a shared virtual machine, styled visually after [[Cloudflare]]'s own dashboard.

== Hosting methods ==
* '''Manual command hosting''' -- runs any user-supplied shell command via <code>nohup</code> under the account's own Linux user, then tunnels the port publicly with <code>bore</code>
* '''Folder upload''' -- upload a static site folder directly; it's hosted and tunneled automatically, with optional HTTP Basic Auth protection
* '''AI-generated pages and apps''' -- describe a page or small app and an LLM writes it (a plain HTML page, or a dependency-free Python + sqlite backend), then hosts it immediately
* '''Fixed templates''' -- a Static Site, a JSON API, and a SQLite-backed CRUD app, deployed instantly with no AI call and no risk of broken generated code

== Tiers and quotas ==
Accounts are Free, Pro, or Ultra, each with separate general file storage and database storage quotas plus a concurrent tunnel limit. '''Ultra''' is not a paid tier -- it is a free usage-milestone reward, automatically granted once an account has hosted enough apps. AI generation is rate-limited to a flat number of generations per hour, applied equally regardless of tier.

== Other features ==
* '''Analytics''' -- per-host request counts and status codes, parsed directly from that host's own web server access log rather than a separate tracking layer
* '''Database file browser''' -- lists every sqlite/db file a hosted app has created, with size and which host it belongs to
* '''A terminal UI (TUI)''' client, installable as a standalone command, for managing hosts, templates, AI generation, and usage entirely from a terminal
* '''Onboard-your-agent prompt''' -- a copyable setup prompt describing the full API, so an AI coding agent with real tool access can drive an account directly via HTTP requests

== Architecture ==
Like [[LuisSearch]], LuisCloud runs as a Python stdlib <code>http.server</code> backend with SQLite for accounts and host records, fronted by a Cloudflare Pages deployment whose <code>_worker.js</code> proxies API traffic to the real backend running behind a <code>cloudflared</code> tunnel. Real compute happens on a KVM-based virtual machine reachable over SSH, where each account's Linux user and hosted processes actually live.
