Draw the execution map first
FormLogic’s web interface, PHP API, databases and hosted-app workers have different deployment needs. OAIY’s local runtime belongs to the machine that owns the selected models, services and devices. SoftN supplies app runtime and editor assets. ZIPP is embedded into the relevant host rather than functioning as a universal server by itself.
The result can be a small deployment, but it is not accurately described as “upload the frontend and everything else becomes static”. A site that only explains the projects can be static; a business application with authenticated records requires its configured backend.
Protect backend data and expose only public paths
For a source deployment of FormLogic, the documented web-server boundaries are the built UI and backend public directory. Private storage, logs, environment configuration and backend sources should not become ordinary static downloads. Follow the current deployment guide for HTTPS, workers and reverse-proxy handling.
Native hosted-app backends also need a compatible Node runtime on the API server. Standard form scripting and named actions use their own vendored guest and launcher paths. The developer guide explains the prerequisites for the actual execution mode.
Treat shared runtime releases as deployment inputs
FormLogic consumes its hosted SoftN runtime, embedded editors and native backend modules from a verified release. The integration checks identity and compatibility before installing the generated assets. Release jobs freeze a single upstream selection rather than repeatedly asking for whichever release is latest at that moment.
Operators should retain the package identity they tested and the recovery instructions for the deployed version. A moving branch name, a release tag and a downloaded artefact are related identifiers, but they are not interchangeable evidence of the exact bytes running in production.
Local services need an availability plan
OAIY must remain available while an app uses its local models or plugins. An account-backed relay avoids needing a direct connection from a remote browser to localhost, but it does not keep a sleeping computer awake or make a disconnected model service respond.
Choose a desktop or headless execution mode that fits the job. Record how services start after a restart, where logs are kept and who monitors failure. Aokie also needs the supported phone and Bluetooth path, which adds physical dependencies to the service.
Use the correct trust profile at each boundary
A portable client can contain editable source without containing private server credentials. A sandbox can expose specific host functions without granting unrestricted system access. A plugin can operate a device only within the permissions and contract the host deliberately grants.
ZIPP’s trusted native execution and hardened sandbox profiles serve different purposes. FormLogic and SoftN integrations add their own resource and permission policies. Review the host configuration instead of describing any embedded VM as automatically safe for every kind of untrusted code.
Evaluate the deployment with controlled data
Test the same packaged generation you intend to deploy. Exercise account permissions, an unavailable model, a repeated event, an interrupted operation and a restore from backup. Record which checks were performed on real hardware and which only ran against a software fixture.
Check the licences of the projects you distribute or host. FormLogic is source-available with commercial offering restrictions, while Aokie is proprietary. Open-source components do not automatically change the terms of the complete service. Consult the published licences and current project guidance.
