* 🐳 Split devenv compose for parallel workspaces Move shared services into an infra compose file and keep the main devenv container plus Valkey in a separate compose file driven by defaults.env. Parameterize host-side ports, container names, source path, and runtime env while keeping container-internal ports fixed for same-origin proxying. Make tmux startup idempotent, add attach-devenv for the live instance, move shared MinIO user setup to infra startup, and let exporter scripts load backend _env.local overrides. Co-authored-by: Codex <codex@openai.com> * 🐳 Run parallel devenv instances against shared infra Add support for running N parallel devenv instances under separate compose projects sharing Postgres, MinIO, mailer, and LDAP. Each instance has its own main container, Valkey, source checkout, tmux session, and host port range offset by 10000 (3449 -> 13449 -> 23449, etc.). ./manage.sh run-devenv-agentic --n-instances N reconciles the running set to exactly {ws0..ws(N-1)}: missing instances are created (workspace sync from the live repo via git ls-files + per-instance env-file generation under docker/devenv/instances/ + detached tmux startup), surplus instances are stopped highest-first via compose down (never -v), already-running instances are left untouched. ws0 binds the live repo at PWD; ws1+ are scratch clones under ~/.penpot/penpot_workspaces/. Backend workers (enable-backend-worker) are gated on PENPOT_BACKEND_WORKER in backend/scripts/_env; ws1+ overlays disable them so async-task notifications stay bound to a single Valkey Pub/Sub instance. Compose helpers wrap docker compose with env -i so per-instance overlay --env-file actually overrides defaults.env -- without the strip, the shell env from sourcing defaults.env at startup would shadow the overlay (Compose gives shell precedence over --env-file). Other: - Drop network aliases (- main, - redis); use container_name for cross-container DNS so multiple instances on the shared network don't fight over the same DNS name. - Pin volume names via name: (PENPOT_*_VOLUME) so volumes survive project renames; ws0 keeps the pre-existing physical names (penpotdev_*). - Remove cross-project depends_on from main.yml (postgres/minio-setup now live in penpotdev-infra); manage.sh ensure-infra-up docker-waits on the minio-setup one-shot. - Strict arg parsing in run-devenv / run-devenv-agentic; --n-instances 0 rejected. - Remove unused Host-matched server block from the Caddyfile. Memory mem:devenv/core and developer docs updated. Co-authored-by: Codex <codex@openai.com> * ✨ Document and stabilise the parallel-workspace CLI; wire AI agents Improve parallel-workspaces developer CLI, and add an opt-in layer that lets four AI coding agents (Claude Code, opencode, VS Code Copilot, OpenAI Codex CLI) drive a specific workspace through a single launcher command. Parallel-workspace semantics ---------------------------- each run-devenv-agentic call brings up one wsN; --ws N (integer; default 0) targets a specific workspace and auto-starts ws0 first when N>=1 so the worker invariant holds. --sync is forbidden on ws0 and re-seeds the workspace from the live repo for ws1+. Stop semantics mirror the start invariant -- ws0 is the last to stop, shared infra stops with it, --all walks every instance highest-first. The worker policy section explains why workers run only on ws0 (Postgres FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED is safe across many workers but the cron dedup primitive is best-effort, and :telemetry / :audit-log-archive are not idempotent). Per-instance Valkey Pub/Sub isolation, msgbus topology, and the "async task notifications miss ws1+ tabs" caveat are stated explicitly. The mem:prod-infra/core memory captures the same external-services and task-queue / Pub-Sub topology in agent-readable form, and mem:backend/core and mem:critical-info now cross-link it so backend work surfaces the horizontal-scaling constraints from the start. AI coding agent integration --------------------------- New top-level .devenv/ directory holds committed templates (templates/{claude-code,opencode,vscode}.json and templates/codex.toml, each with \${PENPOT_MCP_PORT} and \${SERENA_MCP_PORT} placeholders) plus committed shared entries (matching shared/* files for Playwright, the only workspace-independent server we ship today). ./manage.sh start-coding-agent <claude|opencode|vscode|codex> [--ws N] launches the chosen client against one workspace. It cd's into the target's directory (the live repo for ws0; workspace-path "wsN" for ws1+) and refuses to launch unless (a) the binary is on PATH, (b) the workspace directory exists for ws1+, and (c) the instance is up (devenv-main-running) -- the MCP servers only exist while the devenv is running. The agentic-devenv guide is restructured around this Quick start path, with a per-client table and a Manual configuration fallback for clients we don't cover.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.
Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.
Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.
Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.
The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.
With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.
Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.
If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us

Why Penpot
Penpot connects design, code, and AI workflows through a code-based approach, making designs readable by developers and AI via the MCP server. This approach helps teams ship what’s actually designed and manage design systems at scale with powerful design tokens. As a self-hosted, open-source and real-time collaboration platform, Penpot offers full flexibility, security, and ownership without vendor lock-in. Learn more about why Penpot is the platform for your team.
Plugin system
Penpot plugins let you expand the platform's capabilities, give you the flexibility to integrate it with other apps, and design custom solutions.
Designed for developers
Penpot was built to serve both designers and developers and create a fluid design-code process. You have the choice to enjoy real-time collaboration or play "solo".
Inspect mode
Work with ready-to-use code and make your workflow easy and fast. The inspect tab gives instant access to SVG, CSS and HTML code.
Integrations
Penpot offers integration into the development toolchain, thanks to its support for webhooks and an API accessible through access tokens.
Building Design Systems: design tokens, components and variants
Penpot brings design systems to code-minded teams: a single source of truth with native Design Tokens, Components, and Variants for scalable, reusable, and consistent UI across projects and platforms.
Getting started
Penpot is the only design & prototype platform that is deployment agnostic. You can use it in our SAAS or deploy it anywhere.
