Workers execute ticket sessions for projects. Each worker is created from a provider, runs in Docker, and accepts work according to its policy and the projects that are allowed to use it.
Worker lifecycle
Workers expose lifecycle and health state through the dashboard. LStack monitors heartbeats, adopts durable worker resources after a core restart, and prevents unavailable workers from receiving new assignments.
Assignment eligibility
A worker can receive a ticket only when:
- The worker is healthy and available.
- The project is allowed to use it.
- Its provider and policy permit the assignment.
- It has not reached its active-session limit.
Isolation boundary
The dashboard runs on the host, while worker execution occurs in managed Docker containers. LStack mounts only the execution paths and resources required for assigned work.
Rebuilding a worker image does not update existing worker containers. Recreate workers when they must pick up a new image.
