# DevOps & Admin Dashboard Deployment Guide > Canonical deployment doc for `dashboard/`. The previous `DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` > has been folded into this file; it remains as a one-line redirect for > backwards compatibility with `deploy.sh` and external links. ## Overview This guide covers deploying both the DevOps Dashboard and Platform Admin Dashboard using the existing Traefik gateway infrastructure, following the same pattern as the trading dashboard (https://invttrdg.bytelyst.com). ## Public URLs - **DevOps Dashboard**: `https://devops.bytelyst.com` - **Admin Dashboard**: `https://admin.bytelyst.com` - **API Gateway**: `https://api.bytelyst.com` - Platform API: `https://api.bytelyst.com/platform/api` - DevOps API: `https://api.bytelyst.com/api/devops` ## Ports — quick reference The web container always listens on **3000** internally; what changes is what the host exposes. Memorize the column for the deployment mode you're in: | Mode | Web (host) | Backend (host) | Notes | |-------------------------------------|--------------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Local dev (`pnpm dev`) | `localhost:3000` | `localhost:4004` | Next listens directly on 3000. | | Docker Compose (this repo) | `localhost:3049` | `localhost:4004` | `docker-compose.yml` maps `127.0.0.1:3049:3000` (loopback only). | | Production (Traefik) | `https://devops.bytelyst.com` | `https://api.bytelyst.com/api/devops` | Traefik label `loadbalancer.server.port=3000` targets the container port. | Whenever a doc says "the dashboard runs on port 3000", it means the **container port** seen by Traefik / Next dev mode — not the host port for the deployed stack. Use the table above instead of relying on prose. ## Architecture ``` Internet → Traefik Gateway → Services ├─ DevOps Web (container :3000, host :3049) ├─ DevOps Backend (:4004) ├─ Admin Web (:3001) ├─ Platform Service (:4003) └─ Trading Dashboard (:3085) ``` - **Traefik**: API gateway and reverse proxy. - **Docker network**: All services connect via `learning_ai_common_plat_default`. - **Domain routing**: Traefik routes by host header. - **SSL/TLS**: Managed by Traefik with Let's Encrypt. ## Prerequisites 1. Platform stack running with Traefik gateway. 2. Docker and Docker Compose installed. 3. Domain names configured with DNS pointing to your server. 4. Azure Cosmos DB account (shared with platform-service). 5. Platform Service running and accessible. ## Quick Start ### 1. Start the platform stack (if not running) ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_common_plat docker-compose up -d ``` ### 2. Deploy the dashboards ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard ./deploy.sh ``` This will: - Deploy the DevOps Dashboard (backend + web) - Deploy the Admin Dashboard via the platform stack - Run health checks - Print deployment information ## Local development If you only need a non-containerized iteration loop (no Traefik, no Docker): ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard # Resolve workspace deps pnpm install:common-plat # uses sibling learning_ai_common_plat checkout # or pnpm install:gitea # uses local Gitea registry at localhost:3300 pnpm dev # backend on 4004, web on 3000 (NOT 3049) ``` Required env vars are documented under **Environment Configuration** below; for local dev a minimal `.env` with `JWT_SECRET`, `COSMOS_*`, and `PLATFORM_SERVICE_URL` is enough. ## Manual Docker deployment ### Deploy DevOps Dashboard ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard docker-compose up -d --build ``` ### Deploy Admin Dashboard ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_common_plat docker-compose up -d admin-web ``` ## Environment Configuration ### DevOps Dashboard (`.env`) ```bash # Backend PORT=4004 PLATFORM_SERVICE_URL=http://platform-service:4003 COSMOS_ENDPOINT=https://your-cosmos-account.documents.azure.com:443/ COSMOS_KEY=your-cosmos-primary-key COSMOS_DATABASE=bytelyst-platform JWT_SECRET=your-production-jwt-secret CSRF_SECRET=your-production-csrf-secret ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-production-encryption-key PRODUCT_ID=bytelyst-devops PRODUCT_NAME=ByteLyst DevOps Dashboard # Azure Key Vault (optional) AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret AZURE_KEY_VAULT_URL=https://your-keyvault.vault.azure.net/ # Frontend NEXT_PUBLIC_DEVOPS_API_URL=https://api.bytelyst.com/devops NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_URL=https://api.bytelyst.com/platform/api NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_WEB_URL=https://admin.bytelyst.com NEXT_PUBLIC_PRODUCT_ID=bytelyst-devops NEXT_PUBLIC_PRODUCT_NAME=ByteLyst DevOps Dashboard ``` ### Platform Dashboard (`.env`) Add to your platform `.env`: ```bash # Admin Web Dashboard NEXT_PUBLIC_PLATFORM_URL=https://api.bytelyst.com/platform/api NEXT_PUBLIC_DEVOPS_WEB_URL=https://devops.bytelyst.com ``` ## Traefik Configuration Both dashboards use Traefik labels for routing. ### DevOps Web ```yaml labels: - 'traefik.enable=true' - 'traefik.http.routers.devops-web.rule=Host(`devops.bytelyst.com`)' - 'traefik.http.services.devops-web.loadbalancer.server.port=3000' # container port ``` ### DevOps Backend API ```yaml labels: - 'traefik.enable=true' - 'traefik.http.routers.devops-api.rule=PathPrefix(`/api/devops`)' - 'traefik.http.services.devops-api.loadbalancer.server.port=4004' ``` ### Admin Web ```yaml labels: - 'traefik.enable=true' - 'traefik.http.routers.admin-web.rule=Host(`admin.bytelyst.com`)' - 'traefik.http.services.admin-web.loadbalancer.server.port=3001' ``` ## DNS Configuration Add DNS records pointing to your Traefik gateway server: ``` devops.bytelyst.com A admin.bytelyst.com A api.bytelyst.com A ``` ## SSL/TLS Configuration Traefik can automatically handle SSL certificates with Let's Encrypt: ```yaml command: - '--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.tlschallenge=true' - '--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.email=admin@bytelyst.com' - '--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.storage=/letsencrypt/acme.json' ``` Then update router labels: ```yaml labels: - 'traefik.http.routers.devops-web.tls=true' - 'traefik.http.routers.devops-web.tls.certresolver=myresolver' ``` ## Cross-Navigation ### DevOps Dashboard → Admin Dashboard - Header includes a "Platform Admin" link with Shield icon. - Opens admin dashboard in a new tab. - Uses `NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_WEB_URL`. ### Admin Dashboard → DevOps Dashboard - Sidebar includes a "DevOps Dashboard" link with Server icon. - Opens devops dashboard in a new tab. - Uses `NEXT_PUBLIC_DEVOPS_WEB_URL`. ## Shared Authentication 1. **Platform Service Auth**: Both authenticate against platform-service. 2. **JWT Tokens**: Same `JWT_SECRET` validates tokens across services. 3. **Per-Product Access**: Admin access is checked per-product via membership roles. 4. **Single Sign-On**: Users stay logged in across both dashboards. ### Granting Access To grant a user access to both dashboards: 1. Ensure user exists in platform-service. 2. Add admin membership for both products: ```json { "memberships": [ { "productId": "bytelyst-devops", "role": "admin", "plan": "pro" }, { "productId": "bytelyst-platform", "role": "admin", "plan": "pro" } ] } ``` ## Health Checks - DevOps Backend: `http://localhost:4004/health` - DevOps Web: `http://localhost:3049` (Docker Compose host port; container :3000) - Admin Web: `http://localhost:3001` - Traefik Dashboard: `http://localhost:8080` ## Troubleshooting ### Network issues ```bash # Check if the platform network exists docker network inspect learning_ai_common_plat_default # Check container connectivity docker network inspect learning_ai_common_plat_default | grep devops ``` ### Traefik routing ```bash # Traefik dashboard http://localhost:8080 # Traefik logs docker logs $(docker ps -q -f name=gateway) # Router config for the devops web container docker inspect devops-web | grep -A 10 Labels ``` ### Authentication failures - Verify `JWT_SECRET` matches across all services. - Check platform-service is accessible: `curl http://localhost:4003/health`. - Ensure the user has the right product memberships. ### Service not starting ```bash docker logs devops-backend docker logs devops-web docker logs admin-web docker ps docker inspect devops-backend | grep -A 5 Health ``` ### Workspace dependency errors ```bash pnpm install:common-plat # local sibling checkout pnpm install:gitea # local Gitea registry ``` ## Service Management ### Stop services ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard docker-compose down cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_common_plat docker-compose stop admin-web ``` ### Restart services ```bash cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard docker-compose restart cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_common_plat docker-compose restart admin-web ``` ### View logs ```bash # DevOps docker logs -f devops-backend docker logs -f devops-web # Admin docker logs -f admin-web # Traefik docker logs -f gateway ``` ## Comparison with Trading Dashboard | Feature | Trading | DevOps | Admin | |--------------|----------------------|-------------------------|------------------------| | Domain | invttrdg.bytelyst.com| devops.bytelyst.com | admin.bytelyst.com | | Web Port | 3085 (host) | 3049 (host) / 3000 (ctr)| 3001 (host) | | Backend Port | 4018 | 4004 | N/A | | Network | platform_net | platform_net | default | | Traefik | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Auth | Platform | Platform | Platform | ## Privilege Surface (Docker socket + host mounts) The `devops-backend` container has root-equivalent access to the host. This section documents exactly what is mounted, which routes use each mount, and what the blast radius looks like if an admin token leaks. It exists so reviewers don't have to reverse-engineer this from `docker-compose.yml` and the route handlers — and so any future change to the mount set is reviewed against this list rather than slipped in. ### Mounts (from `docker-compose.yml`) | Host path | Container path | Mode | Purpose | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `/var/run/docker.sock` | `/var/run/docker.sock` | rw | Allows `docker` CLI inside the container to control the host daemon. Used by the `system` and `vm` modules. **Equivalent to root on the host.** | | `/opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/scripts` | `/vm-scripts` | ro | Bash scripts the `vm` module shells out to (`HostingerVM/*.sh`). Read-only mount; the container cannot modify the script set. | | `/var/log/vm-cleanup.log` | `/host-logs/vm-cleanup.log` | rw | The `vm` cleanup script appends here; backend reads it via `/api/vm/cleanup-log`. | | `/var/log/vm-health-check.log` | `/host-logs/vm-health-check.log` | rw | Health-check probe output; backend reads it via `/api/vm/health`. | | `/var/log/docker-watchdog.log` | `/host-logs/docker-watchdog.log` | rw | Watchdog tail used by the VM panel. | | `extra_hosts: host-gateway` | `host.docker.internal`-equivalent | — | Lets the container reach `host:11434` (Ollama) and other host-only services. Not a filesystem mount, but a privilege-relevant capability — the container can talk to anything bound to `127.0.0.1` on the host. | The container's listening port (`4004`) is bound to `127.0.0.1` only, so the API is **not** exposed to the public internet by this compose file — access is expected via Tailscale or an SSH tunnel. Any reverse proxy in front of it (Traefik in production) is responsible for its own auth + TLS. ### What shells out + which routes (auth column = effective gate) | Route | Handler module | What it executes | Auth | |--------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | `GET /system/metrics` | `system/repository.ts` | `df -h ...` | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /docker/stats` | `system/repository.ts` | `docker images / ps / volume ls / system df` (read-only) | `requireAdmin` | | `POST /docker/cleanup` | `system/repository.ts` | `docker container prune -f`, `docker image prune -a -f`, `docker volume prune -f`, `docker builder prune -f` (a fixed allow-list — request body picks one of the four "types") | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /vm/health` | `vm/repository.ts` | `bash $VM_SCRIPTS_PATH/vm-health-check.sh --json` | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /vm/cleanup-log` | `vm/repository.ts` | reads `/host-logs/vm-cleanup.log` | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /vm/cron-status` | `vm/repository.ts` | `crontab -l` | `requireAdmin` | | `POST /vm/cleanup` | `vm/repository.ts` | `bash $VM_SCRIPTS_PATH/vm-cleanup.sh` | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /vm/containers`, `.../unhealthy`, `.../:name/logs` | `vm/repository.ts` | `docker ps`, `docker inspect`, `docker stats`, `docker logs` | `requireAdmin` | | `POST /vm/containers/:name/restart` | `vm/repository.ts` | `docker restart ""` (name is a path param — see "Known sharp edges" below) | `requireAdmin` | | `GET /vm/ollama/models`, `DELETE /vm/ollama/models/:name` | `vm/repository.ts` | HTTP-only (talks to host Ollama via `host-gateway`). No shell-out. | `requireAdmin` | | `POST /code-quality/check` | `code-quality/repository.ts` | `npm run typecheck`, `npm run lint`, `npm run build`, `npm run test:run` in the request-supplied `projectPath`. | `requireAdmin` *(added concurrently with this doc; previously unauthenticated — see the Phase 5 P1 commit)* | | `POST /deployments/trigger/:serviceId` | `deployments/orchestrator.ts` | `bash ` from the registered service registry (paths are stored at create-time, not request-time). | `requireAdmin` | | `/hermes/ops` (snapshot) | `hermes-ops/repository.ts` | Read-only probes: `systemctl is-active/is-enabled`, `git status`, `du -sh`, `ps`, `tailscale ip`, `runuser -u uma -- systemctl --user ...`. No state-changing commands. | `requireAdmin` *(Phase 7 — private-only)* | | `/hermes/telemetry/:instance` | `hermes-telemetry/repository.ts` | Read-only: `runuser -u -- hermes sessions/cron/memory/skills list --json`, `git -C log`, tail of the watchdog log. No state-changing commands. | `requireAdmin` | ### Blast radius if an admin token is leaked Anyone holding a valid admin JWT for this product can, today: - Run any of the four pre-defined `docker prune` commands (data loss for containers/images/volumes), restart any container, read any container's logs. - Trigger the host VM cleanup script and crontab listing. - Trigger any deployment script registered in the service registry. - Run `npm run` lifecycle scripts in any directory the container can read (since `code-quality/check` takes a caller-supplied `projectPath`). - Read the three host logs that are mounted in. In other words, an admin token is **equivalent to a host shell**, modulo the specific commands the codebase chooses to wrap. There is currently **no allow-list wrapper** between the backend and the docker socket; the backend constructs `docker ...` shell strings directly with `execAsync`. ### Known sharp edges (track and shrink) 1. **Container name is interpolated into a shell string.** `docker restart "${name}"` and similar paths in `vm/repository.ts` use `execAsync` with a template literal. The `:name` path parameter is admin-only but is not validated against a `^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$` allow-list. Lock this down before exposing the dashboard to a wider admin pool. 2. **`projectPath` for `/code-quality/check` is unvalidated.** The handler passes the caller-supplied path straight into `execAsync({ cwd })`. Even with `requireAdmin` added, this should be constrained to a known set of project roots (or rejected if it escapes the workspace). 3. **No per-route audit-log on shell-outs.** `audit/repository.ts` records deployment triggers but not `/docker/cleanup` or `/vm/cleanup`. A leaked token's actions are reconstructable only from container stdout + host logs. 4. **The container runs as root.** Both the backend `Dockerfile` and the bind- mounts assume root. A non-root user with `docker` group membership would shrink the in-container blast radius without losing functionality (the socket is still root on the host); revisit when ready. 5. **`fastify-rate-limit` is global, not per-route.** A leaked admin token currently isn't slowed down on the destructive endpoints any more than it is on read-only ones. ### Mitigation roadmap (incremental, not all at once) - [x] **P1:** Allow-list wrapper around shell-outs. *(`lib/shell.ts` ships with `execAllowed` (no shell, just `execFile` with an explicit argv) plus per-command helpers — `dockerRestart(name)` validates against `[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9._-]{0,127}`, `dockerPrune(kind, {all?})` validates kind ∈ {container,image,volume,builder} and rejects `--all` on non-image, `runBashScript(path, args, {allowedRoots})` and `runNpmScript(script, {cwd, allowedRoots})` lock both the script path and cwd to a configured set of roots. 17 unit tests cover the rejection paths; `vm/restartContainer` and `system/dockerCleanup` migrated. Module covered by the test:coverage gate (≥95% lines).)* - [x] **P1:** Validate `/code-quality/check`'s `projectPath` against a configured set of allowed roots. *(`runCodeQualityCheck` now calls `assertPathInAllowedRoots(projectPath, getAllowedRoots())` before any lifecycle script runs; `getAllowedRoots()` reads `CODE_QUALITY_ALLOWED_ROOTS` (colon-separated) with a default of `/opt/bytelyst`. The path is also re-resolved (normalised, `..` collapsed) before being passed to `runNpmScript`, which lifts it to its own argv slot — no shell interpolation.)* - [x] **P2:** Audit-log every shell-out (command + arg vector + actor + result). *(Audit schema extended with `action: 'shell-exec'` + `entityType: 'host'`. `POST /docker/cleanup`, `POST /vm/cleanup`, `POST /vm/containers/:name/restart` now write a Cosmos audit row including the actor (`authUserId`/`authRole`), entity id (`docker-cleanup:` etc.), and a sanitized details payload. Audit writes are best-effort — a Cosmos hiccup logs a warn but never fails the request.)* - [ ] **P2:** Run the backend container as a non-root user with `docker` group membership; rebuild the Dockerfile accordingly. - [ ] **P3:** Move from `docker.sock` to a thin daemon (`docker-proxy`-style) that exposes only the verbs the dashboard actually needs (`stats`, `restart`, `logs`, the four `prune` variants). Operators reviewing whether to grant a new admin should read this whole section before doing so. Adding a new shell-out path in code is a **privilege change** and must update this table in the same commit. ## Production Checklist - [ ] Platform stack running with Traefik. - [ ] DNS records configured. - [ ] SSL/TLS certificates configured in Traefik. - [ ] Environment variables set for production. - [ ] Cosmos DB connection configured. - [ ] `JWT_SECRET` matches across all services. - [ ] User memberships configured for access. - [ ] Health checks passing. - [ ] Cross-navigation links working. - [ ] Monitoring and logging configured. ## Features Implemented ### Backend (port 4004) - ✅ CI/CD pipeline with Gitea Actions - ✅ E2E tests with Playwright (gated; see `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`) - ✅ Telemetry integration - ✅ Error boundary - ✅ CSRF protection with token refresh - ✅ Service CRUD operations - ✅ Deployment log retrieval (JSON polling — no SSE; see backend README) - ✅ Audit logging - ✅ Structured logging - ✅ Database migrations - ✅ Backup/restore functionality - ✅ Performance monitoring (APM) - ✅ System metrics (CPU, memory, disk) - ✅ Docker cleanup endpoints - ✅ OpenAPI/Swagger documentation at `/docs` ### Frontend (container :3000, host :3049 under Compose) - ✅ Service management UI - ✅ Deployment monitoring - ✅ Health dashboard - ✅ Metrics/charts page - ✅ System management page - ✅ Log viewer (poll-based) - ✅ Accessibility features (ARIA, keyboard nav) - ✅ PWA manifest - ✅ Responsive design
