This is a staff-only companion to the public Architecture & Internals topics. Those topics describe stock Talkyard as of v1.2026.003 and are deliberately deployment-agnostic. This page records the specifics of our install that were stripped from the ...

This walks through what happens when a browser asks Talkyard for a topic page — from the HTTP request, through the three-level render cache, out to the assets and uploads the page references, and finally the WebSocket that streams live updates. It al...

All of a Talkyard site's durable state lives in a handful of Docker named volumes, while its configuration and secrets come in as bind mounts and Docker secrets. This topic maps which container mounts what (and read-only vs read-write), then walks th...

This is a reference for how a stock Talkyard deployment is laid out at the container level, as of v1.2026.003: what each container runs, the private networks that segment them, and which services can talk to which over which network. Everything below...

Second topic body, distinct from alpha.

First topic. Has bold, a link, and inline code to check that markdown round-trips and matching still works.

This is the landing page for a short series of reference topics that map out how a stock Talkyard install fits together: the containers it runs, the networks they sit on, the state they persist, and the path a single page request travels from the bro...
