# Deployment Test Report — 2026-04-09 **Target:** Fresh curl-install deployment to `cursedknowledge.org` **Server:** 100.90.78.47 (bunker-admin, Tailscale) **Release:** v2.8.1 (commit 82546131) **Pangolin Org:** cursed-knowledge @ bnkserve.org --- ## Summary Full end-to-end deployment test: wipe server, build release, curl install, configure, verify all 37 containers and 18 external subdomains. **All services operational.** --- ## Bugs Found & Fixed ### 1. config.sh — Pangolin API URL default was correct, but endpoint derivation was wrong **Problem:** `PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT` was derived from `PANGOLIN_API_URL` by stripping `/v1`. Since the API lives at `api.bnkserve.org` but the Newt endpoint is `pangolin.bnkserve.org` (different hostname), this produced the wrong value. **Fix:** Ask for `PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT` as a separate prompt instead of deriving it. **Commit:** `599498fc` ### 2. config.sh — No resources or targets created during Pangolin setup **Problem:** config.sh created the Pangolin site and wrote Newt credentials to `.env`, but never created the HTTP resources (subdomain → target mappings) that tell Pangolin how to route traffic. The message said "Resources will be created automatically via the admin GUI or sync endpoint" — but the admin GUI isn't accessible until the tunnel works, creating a chicken-and-egg problem. **Fix:** Added `pangolin_create_resources()` function that: - Looks up the domain ID from registered domains - Creates an HTTP resource for each of 18 subdomains - Creates a target for each resource pointing to `nginx:80` - Sets each resource as public (no SSO, no blockAccess) **Commit:** `599498fc` ### 3. config.sh — Pangolin site creation failed with "Invalid address format" **Problem:** `pickSiteDefaults` returns `clientAddress` without CIDR notation (e.g., `100.90.128.0` instead of `100.90.128.0/24`). Pangolin's site creation API rejects this. **Fix:** Omit the `address` field from the site creation payload — Pangolin auto-assigns a valid address. **Commit:** `a85e153b` ### 4. MongoDB — User not created on fresh volumes **Problem:** The custom entrypoint (`exec mongod --replSet rs0 --bind_ip_all --auth --keyFile ...`) bypassed Docker's standard `docker-entrypoint.sh`, which is responsible for reading `MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME`/`PASSWORD` and creating the root user. On fresh volumes, MongoDB started with auth enabled but no users existed, causing the healthcheck and Rocket.Chat to fail. **Fix:** Changed entrypoint to generate the keyfile then delegate to `docker-entrypoint.sh`: ``` exec docker-entrypoint.sh mongod --replSet rs0 --bind_ip_all --keyFile /data/replica.key ``` Docker's entrypoint handles user creation, then starts mongod with our flags. **Commit:** `599498fc` ### 5. Missing `media` subdomain in Pangolin resources (non-issue) **Investigation:** The media API is accessed via path routing (`api.domain/media/`), not a separate subdomain. No nginx `server_name` block for `media.*` exists. The CLAUDE.md routing table listing was inaccurate. No fix needed. --- ## Test Results ### Container Status (37/37 running) All containers up and healthy where healthchecks are configured: - Core: postgres, redis, api, admin, nginx, media-api — all healthy - MongoDB: **healthy on first boot** (entrypoint fix confirmed) - Rocket.Chat: healthy (after MongoDB) - All other services: running/healthy ### External Access (18/18 subdomains) | Subdomain | Service | Status | Notes | |-----------|---------|--------|-------| | cursedknowledge.org | MkDocs | 200 | Root domain | | app.cursedknowledge.org | Admin GUI | 200 | | | api.cursedknowledge.org | API | 200 | /api/health returns healthy | | docs.cursedknowledge.org | MkDocs Live | 200 | | | git.cursedknowledge.org | Gitea | 200 | Needs first-time setup | | home.cursedknowledge.org | Homepage | 200 | | | db.cursedknowledge.org | NocoDB | 302 | Redirects to dashboard | | n8n.cursedknowledge.org | n8n | 200 | | | grafana.cursedknowledge.org | Grafana | 302 | Redirects to login | | draw.cursedknowledge.org | Excalidraw | 200 | | | vault.cursedknowledge.org | Vaultwarden | 200 | | | qr.cursedknowledge.org | Mini QR | 200 | | | code.cursedknowledge.org | Code Server | 302 | Redirects to login | | listmonk.cursedknowledge.org | Listmonk | 403 | Expected (auth proxy) | | mail.cursedknowledge.org | MailHog | 200 | | | chat.cursedknowledge.org | Rocket.Chat | 200 | | | events.cursedknowledge.org | Gancio | 302 | Redirects to home | | meet.cursedknowledge.org | Jitsi | 200 | | ### Post-Deploy Manual Steps 1. **Gitea:** Complete first-time setup at https://git.cursedknowledge.org 2. **Admin password:** Change default admin password at https://app.cursedknowledge.org --- ## Deployment Timeline | Step | Duration | Notes | |------|----------|-------| | Build images (build-and-push.sh) | ~3 min | 4 services: api, admin, media-api, nginx | | Build tarball (build-release.sh) | ~5 sec | 15MB tarball, 292 files | | Upload to Gitea Releases | ~2 sec | v2.8.1 | | Download tarball on remote | ~1 sec | Via curl | | config.sh (non-interactive) | ~3 sec | + manual .env patching for SMTP/Pangolin | | docker compose up -d | ~2 min | Image pulls from Gitea registry | | All services healthy | ~3 min | Including MongoDB init + seed | | External access verified | immediate | All 18 subdomains | **Total time from wipe to fully operational: ~10 minutes** --- ## Outstanding Items - [ ] `config.sh` non-interactive mode should support all variables (SMTP, Pangolin, Mapbox, MaxMind) - [ ] Newt WireGuard "invalid IP address" warning (cosmetic — TCP proxies work fine, clients feature disabled) - [ ] Gitea first-time setup should be automated or documented in config.sh next steps
