StrikeHub

What is StrikeHub?

StrikeHub is a desktop application that acts as a host shell for Strike48 connector apps. It discovers running connector processes, communicates with them over IPC, and renders each as an embeddable panel inside a single native window. Connector apps are native desktop tools that integrate with the Prospector Studio agent platform. StrikeHub manages their lifecycle, authentication, and UI embedding so each connector can focus on its domain.

Key Features

Connector Sidebar

Browse and manage all registered connectors:

  • Online/offline/checking status indicators
  • One-click connector switching
  • Visual connector health overview

Embedded Content Area

Unified rendering of connector UIs:

  • Renders the active connector's UI via an iframe backed by the connector:// custom protocol
  • Seamless switching between connector apps
  • Native window integration

Authentication

OIDC-based identity management:

  • OIDC flow with Keycloak
  • Automatic token injection into connector HTML
  • Session management across connectors

Health Monitoring

Continuous connector status tracking:

  • Periodic health checks against each connector
  • Automatic status updates in the sidebar
  • Graceful handling of connector restarts

Configuration

TOML-based connector management:

  • Connector config at ~/.config/strikehub/connectors.toml
  • Environment variable overrides
  • Per-connector settings

Each connector runs as a separate process with its own Axum HTTP server. StrikeHub embeds the connector's UI via an iframe pointed at a connector:// custom protocol URL. Orchestration (health checks, lifecycle management) happens over the same Unix domain socket.

StrikeHub is built with a modular crate structure:

strikehub/
├── Cargo.toml          (workspace root)
├── crates/
│   ├── sh-core/        (config, IPC runner, auth, proxy, WS relay)
│   └── sh-ui/          (Dioxus desktop UI components)

Technology Stack

  • Language: Rust
  • UI Framework: Dioxus 0.6 (desktop mode)
  • HTTP Server: Axum
  • Integration: Prospector Studio agent platform
  • Build Tool: Just command runner

Use Cases

StrikeHub is designed for:

  • Security Operations - Host red team and security assessment connector apps in a unified workspace
  • DevOps Workflows - Manage Kubernetes clusters and deployments via the KubeStudio connector
  • Team Collaboration - Share a consistent desktop environment across teams
