The FastAPI app deliberately turns off docs/redoc/openapi in production:
docs_url="/docs" if not settings.is_production else None
but the root endpoint returned `"docs": "/docs"` unconditionally. So the
public API root promised a URL that 404s — api.bootno.de/ says
{"name":"Bootnode API","version":"2.0.0","docs":"/docs","status":"operational"}
while /docs, /redoc and /openapi.json all return {"detail":"Not Found"}.
Anyone reading the root to find the schema followed a dead link, and the
disabled-in-prod decision was correct, so the answer is to tell the truth
rather than re-enable them.
root() now mirrors app.docs_url and omits the key entirely when docs are off,
so the two cannot drift again — there is no second place to remember when the
setting flips. Verified both ways: with docs_url None the key is absent, with
"/docs" it is present.
Bootnode
Web3 Backend in a Box - Run locally or deploy to cloud.
Go rewrite (HIP-0106) in progress. The current production service is the Python FastAPI app under
api/. A Go scaffold that mounts intosuperbaseper HIP-0106 lives alongside it —api/,cmd/bootnode/,schema/,zap/. Seedocs/PYTHON_TO_GO_PORT.mdfor the endpoint-by-endpoint port map and the new Go README section below.
Quick Start
docker compose up -d
Done. Your Web3 backend is running:
- API: http://localhost:8000
- Dashboard: http://localhost:3001
- API Docs: http://localhost:8000/docs

Go rewrite (HIP-0106)
The Go subsystem mounts into superbase (the unified Hanzo Cloud
binary). It exposes a single Mount(r chi.Router, deps api.Deps) error
entry point and a public ZAP schema (schema/bootnode.zap) covering
every cross-subsystem type.
bootnode/
schema/bootnode.zap # public typed surface (ZAP)

Build
go build ./...
go vet ./...
go run ./cmd/bootnode # listens on :8100 (BOOTNODE_ADDR to override)
Generate ZAP bindings
cd zap && make gen # no-op if zapc isn't installed
zapc lives at ~/work/hanzo/zap/zapc-rs/. Brand policy: no
.capnp files, no "Cap'n Proto" references on the public surface
(HIP-0106).
