The runtime crash on v0.2.3:
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/app/server/util.js'
imported from /app/server/index.js
happened because the Dockerfile's stage-2 COPY only listed server/
index.js + server/license.js explicitly. When I started extracting
modules in v0.2.3 (util.js, gemini-helpers.js, audio.js, ytdlp.js,
cookies.js, config.js, license-middleware.js, history.js, library.js)
I forgot to update the COPY list, so those files were never copied
into the runner image. Local 'node' tests passed because the modules
exist on disk; the .s9pk container had only the two original files
and crashed on first import.
Fix:
COPY server/*.js ./server/
Glob picks up all top-level .js files automatically, including any
future extractions, while still skipping server/test/ and server/
node_modules/. This is the simplest forward-compatible form.
Bonus: refresh the vendored @keysat/licensing-client from 0.1.0 to
0.2.0. The new SDK adds:
• policySlug field on StartPurchaseOptions (so we can drive Core/
Pro tier selection programmatically from our backend)
• client.listPublicPolicies(productSlug) for fetching the tier
cards' data without auth
Both are prerequisites for the in-app buy flow planned in
~/.claude/plans/in-app-buy-flow.md. The vendor's own node_modules
(@noble/ed25519, @noble/hashes) is gitignored as before — Docker
builds re-install via `npm install --omit=dev --ignore-scripts` in
the vendor dir during stage 1.
Also includes the license-middleware update from earlier in the day:
a 30s license-file poll so a key set via the "Set Recap License"
StartOS action is picked up within seconds (instead of waiting for
the 6h scheduled validateOnline tick).
@keysat/licensing-client
TypeScript / JavaScript client for Keysat — a self-hosted Bitcoin-paid software licensing server that runs on Start9.
Works in modern browsers and Node 18+. No native dependencies; signature verification is done in pure JS via @noble/ed25519.
What you get
- Offline verification: check a license key with just the issuing server's public key. No network.
- Online validation: live revocation check and fingerprint binding via the service's
/v1/validateendpoint. - Purchase flow: kick off a BTCPay checkout and poll for the issued key.
Install
npm install @keysat/licensing-client
5-line offline check
import { Verifier, PublicKey } from '@keysat/licensing-client'
const verifier = new Verifier(PublicKey.fromPem(ISSUER_PUBKEY_PEM))
const ok = verifier.verify(keyFromUser)
console.log('licensed for product', ok.productId)
That's the whole integration. Embed your public key as a string at build time (e.g. Vite's ?raw import, webpack raw-loader, or just a const). If the verifier returns without throwing, the key is real and was issued by you.
10-line online check (with revocation + fingerprint)
import { Client } from '@keysat/licensing-client'
const client = new Client('https://license.example.com')
const result = await client.validate(keyFromUser, 'my-product', machineFingerprint)
if (!result.ok) {
console.error('rejected:', result.reason)
process.exit(1)
}
The server enforces revocation live and does trust-on-first-use fingerprint binding, so the same key used from a second machine gets rejected.
Purchase flow
const session = await client.startPurchase('my-product')
console.log('pay at:', session.checkoutUrl)
const key = await client.waitForLicense(session.invoiceId)
console.log('got license:', key)
waitForLicense polls until the BTCPay invoice settles and the service issues a key. It throws if the invoice expires or becomes invalid.
Browser usage
Everything here works in the browser too. Drop the library into your React/Svelte/Vue app and run offline verification client-side — no server call needed for the common case.
// Vite: import the PEM as a raw string at build time
import issuerPem from './issuer.pub?raw'
import { Verifier, PublicKey } from '@keysat/licensing-client'
const verifier = new Verifier(PublicKey.fromPem(issuerPem))
