The capsule template — a full-stack starter in one command

Update, 31 July 2026: the managed-AI part below is switched off —

/capsule/<app>/ai returns 503 INFERENCE_DISABLED and the build injects no

AI URL. The database, sign-in and realtime parts are unaffected. It is being

brought back on Scaleway-hosted models in Paris and stays off until that

processing is approved; GET /capabilities reports what any one instance has.

See Managed AI inference.

Starting something new that needs a database and sign-in? The capsule template scaffolds it with the wiring already done:

bunx percher create my-app --template capsule
bunx percher publish

You get a PocketBase database, provisioned with your schema before the app goes live, plus email/password sign-in (Google a command away) and realtime subscriptions — connected out of the box. On a paid plan where managed inference is switched on, src/lib/ai.ts adds keyless AI with no key to paste, and none in the browser.

It's for starting something new. For an app you already have, percher init detects the framework and generates the config instead.
