Local

The Local runtime runs supervised plugins as normal child processes on the same machine as Storyden.

Why use Local

• simplest setup
• no third-party runtime account required
• easiest option for self-hosted instances where you fully trust your plugins

Important boundary

Local runtime means local trust.

If you install a supervised plugin from someone else, that code runs on your machine with your machine's network and filesystem visibility.

Read Security before installing third-party plugins.

Configuration

Set:

PLUGIN_RUNTIME_PROVIDER=local

This is the default provider if you don't set anything.

Runtime provider configuration is documented in Configuration Reference.

Notes

• Supervised plugin logs are available in the plugin Logs tab.
• Storyden manages start/stop/restart for supervised plugins.
• External plugins are unaffected by runtime provider choice.
