# Automated Installation Guide Step-by-step deployment of AI Data Analyst on a clean Ubuntu 24.04 VM. Two repos are involved: - **OSS repo** (public/private): application code (`padak/tmp_oss`) - **Instance repo** (private): your config, secrets template, data schema (`padak/tmp_oss_cfg`) ## Architecture on Server ``` /opt/data-analyst/ ├── repo/ # OSS repo clone │ ├── config/ │ │ └── instance.yaml -> ../../instance/config/instance.yaml (symlink) │ ├── webapp/ │ ├── server/ │ └── ... ├── instance/ # Private instance repo clone │ ├── config/ │ │ ├── instance.yaml # Branding, auth domains, data source │ │ └── data_description.md # Data schema (when configured) │ ├── docs/setup/ # Custom CLAUDE.md template, etc. │ ├── .env.example # Secrets template │ └── README.md ├── .env # Secrets (not in git, from .env.example) ├── .venv/ # Python virtual environment └── logs/ # Application logs ``` Key principle: OSS repo has no secrets/config. Instance repo has no code. Symlinks bridge them. ## Prerequisites 1. **DigitalOcean API token** with `ssh_key` scope (or any Ubuntu 24.04 VM) 2. **Two GitHub repos**: one for OSS code, one for private instance config 3. **SSH key** on your local machine for server access ### Known Issues - `python3-venv` must be installed before `server/setup.sh` (Ubuntu 24.04 omits it) - `webapp-setup.sh` generates SSL nginx config - use HTTP-only for IP-only deployments - DigitalOcean cloud-init cannot override password expiry; must use `ssh_keys` API field ## Step 0: Create Repos ```bash # Push OSS code to GitHub git remote add origin git@github.com:YOUR_ORG/YOUR_OSS_REPO.git git push -u origin main # Create private instance config repo on GitHub (empty, private) # We'll populate it from the server after setup ``` ## Step 1: Provision VM ### 1a: Create Droplet (DigitalOcean) ```bash # Register SSH key (requires ssh_key scope on API token) curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \ -d '{"name":"my-key","public_key":"ssh-ed25519 AAAA..."}' \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account/keys" # Create droplet with SSH key curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DO_TOKEN" \ -d '{ "name":"data-analyst-1", "size":"s-1vcpu-2gb", "region":"ams3", "image":"ubuntu-24-04-x64", "ssh_keys":["KEY_ID_OR_FINGERPRINT"] }' \ "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets" ``` ### 1b: Install Prerequisites ```bash ssh root@DROPLET_IP # Wait for apt lock (auto-updates run on first boot) apt update && apt install -y python3.12-venv python3-pip ``` ### 1c: Generate Deploy Keys Two separate keys - one per repo, for security isolation: ```bash # Key for OSS repo ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f /root/.ssh/deploy_key -N "" -C "oss-app@$(hostname)" # Key for private instance config repo ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f /root/.ssh/instance_key -N "" -C "instance-config@$(hostname)" ``` Add each public key as a **deploy key** on its respective GitHub repo: - `deploy_key.pub` -> OSS repo Settings > Deploy Keys - `instance_key.pub` -> Instance repo Settings > Deploy Keys Configure SSH to use the right key per repo: ```bash cat > /root/.ssh/config << 'EOF' # OSS application repo Host github-oss HostName github.com IdentityFile /root/.ssh/deploy_key StrictHostKeyChecking no # Instance config repo (private) Host github-cfg HostName github.com IdentityFile /root/.ssh/instance_key StrictHostKeyChecking no EOF chmod 600 /root/.ssh/config ``` ### 1d: Clone OSS Repo & Run Setup ```bash git clone git@github-oss:YOUR_ORG/YOUR_OSS_REPO.git /opt/data-analyst/repo cd /opt/data-analyst/repo REPO_URL="git@github-oss:YOUR_ORG/YOUR_OSS_REPO.git" bash server/setup.sh ``` ### Step 1 Checklist | # | Check | Expected | |---|-------|----------| | 1.1 | Groups | data-ops, dataread, data-private exist | | 1.2 | Deploy user | uid deploy, groups: deploy, data-ops | | 1.3 | Directories | /opt/data-analyst/{repo,.venv,logs} | | 1.4 | Python venv | Flask loads in .venv | | 1.5 | Scripts | add-analyst, list-analysts in /usr/local/bin | ## Step 2: Webapp Setup ### 2a: Run webapp-setup.sh ```bash export SERVER_HOSTNAME="your-domain-or-ip" bash server/webapp-setup.sh ``` For IP-only (no SSL), replace nginx config: ```bash cat > /etc/nginx/sites-available/webapp << 'NGINX' server { listen 80; server_name _; location / { proxy_pass http://unix:/run/webapp/webapp.sock; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } location /static/ { alias /opt/data-analyst/repo/webapp/static/; expires 1d; } location /health { proxy_pass http://unix:/run/webapp/webapp.sock; proxy_set_header Host $host; access_log off; } } NGINX rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default nginx -t && systemctl restart nginx ``` ### 2b: Create .env ```bash SECRET_KEY=$(python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))') cat > /opt/data-analyst/.env << EOF WEBAPP_SECRET_KEY="${SECRET_KEY}" SERVER_HOST="YOUR_IP" SERVER_HOSTNAME="YOUR_IP_OR_DOMAIN" GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="placeholder" GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="placeholder" DATA_SOURCE="local" DATA_DIR="/data/src_data" EOF chown root:data-ops /opt/data-analyst/.env chmod 640 /opt/data-analyst/.env ``` ### 2c: Create Data Directories & Start ```bash mkdir -p /data/src_data/{parquet,metadata} /data/docs /data/scripts chown -R root:data-ops /data chmod -R 2775 /data mkdir -p /run/webapp chown www-data:www-data /run/webapp systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start webapp systemctl enable webapp ``` ### Step 2 Checklist | # | Check | Expected | |---|-------|----------| | 2.1 | Nginx | active, port 80 | | 2.2 | Webapp | active (gunicorn) | | 2.3 | Health | `curl http://IP/health` returns JSON | | 2.4 | Login page | HTTP 200 at /login | ## Step 3: Instance Configuration (Private Repo) ### 3a: Clone Instance Repo ```bash git clone git@github-cfg:YOUR_ORG/YOUR_INSTANCE_REPO.git /opt/data-analyst/instance chown -R root:data-ops /opt/data-analyst/instance chmod -R 770 /opt/data-analyst/instance ``` ### 3b: Initialize Instance Config (if empty repo) If this is a fresh instance repo, create the initial config: ```bash cd /opt/data-analyst/instance mkdir -p config docs/setup cat > config/instance.yaml << 'YAML' instance: name: "My Data Analyst" subtitle: "My Organization" copyright: "My Org" server: hostname: "YOUR_IP_OR_DOMAIN" host: "YOUR_IP" app_dir: "/opt/data-analyst" auth: allowed_domain: "mycompany.com" webapp_secret_key: "${WEBAPP_SECRET_KEY}" data_source: type: "local" catalog: categories: {} YAML # Create .env.example as a template for future deployments cat > .env.example << 'ENV' WEBAPP_SECRET_KEY="generate-with: python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))'" SERVER_HOST="server-ip" SERVER_HOSTNAME="server-ip-or-domain" GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="placeholder" GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="placeholder" DATA_SOURCE="local" DATA_DIR="/data/src_data" ENV cat > .gitignore << 'GI' .env .env.local *.swp *~ .DS_Store GI git add -A && git commit -m "Initial instance config" && git push origin main ``` ### 3c: Symlink Config into OSS Repo ```bash # Remove any existing instance.yaml (from manual setup) and symlink rm -f /opt/data-analyst/repo/config/instance.yaml ln -s /opt/data-analyst/instance/config/instance.yaml /opt/data-analyst/repo/config/instance.yaml # Optional: symlink data_description.md when ready # ln -s /opt/data-analyst/instance/config/data_description.md /opt/data-analyst/repo/docs/data_description.md systemctl restart webapp ``` ### Step 3 Checklist | # | Check | Expected | |---|-------|----------| | 3.1 | Instance repo | /opt/data-analyst/instance/ exists | | 3.2 | Symlink | config/instance.yaml -> ../../instance/config/instance.yaml | | 3.3 | Webapp loads | Instance name shown on login page | ## Step 4: Authentication Email magic link works without any external service. 1. Login page shows "Sign in with Email" 2. User enters email with allowed domain 3. Without SMTP: magic link shown in browser (dev mode) 4. With SMTP: link sent via email 5. Click link -> logged in -> dashboard Optional: add Google OAuth by setting real `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`/`GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`. ### Step 4 Checklist | # | Check | Expected | |---|-------|----------| | 4.1 | Email auth | "Sign in with Email" on login page | | 4.2 | Magic link | Generated for valid domain email | | 4.3 | Domain check | Rejects wrong domains | | 4.4 | Login flow | Magic link -> dashboard with session | ## Step 5: Onboarding Flow (End-User) After server is set up, analysts self-onboard via the webapp: 1. Visit `http://YOUR_SERVER/login` and sign in with email 2. Dashboard shows "Get Started" with 4 steps: - Create project folder (`mkdir -p data-analyst && cd data-analyst`) - Generate SSH key (`ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/data_analyst_server -N ''`) - Copy public key (`cat ~/.ssh/data_analyst_server.pub`) - Paste key into form, click "Create Account" 3. After account creation, dashboard shows "Set up your local environment" 4. User runs `claude` in their project folder, pastes setup instructions 5. Claude Code configures SSH, rsyncs data, sets up Python + DuckDB ## Step 6: Sample Data (Try Without a Data Adapter) Before connecting a real data source, you can load sample data to verify the full pipeline (Parquet files, DuckDB, analyst rsync, Claude Code analysis). ```bash cd /opt/data-analyst/repo # Install generator dependency /opt/data-analyst/.venv/bin/pip install faker # Generate Parquet files directly (uses project's ParquetManager # for snappy compression, proper types, and metadata embedding) /opt/data-analyst/.venv/bin/python scripts/generate_sample_data.py \ --size m --format parquet --output /data/src_data/parquet --seed 42 # Set correct permissions chown -R root:data-ops /data/src_data/parquet chmod -R 2775 /data/src_data/parquet ``` Available sizes: `xs` (50 customers, ~1 MB), `s` (500, ~15 MB), `m` (5K, ~150 MB), `l` (50K, ~1.5 GB). The sample data covers 9 tables: customers, products, campaigns, web_sessions, web_leads, orders, order_items, payments, support_tickets. See `docs/sample-data.md` for the full data model, table reference, and built-in analytical patterns. ### Step 6 Checklist | # | Check | Expected | |---|-------|----------| | 6.1 | Parquet files | `ls /data/src_data/parquet/*.parquet` shows 9 files | | 6.2 | Permissions | Files owned by root:data-ops, group-readable | | 6.3 | Analyst sync | Analyst can rsync parquet files to local machine | | 6.4 | DuckDB loads | `SELECT count(*) FROM read_parquet('orders.parquet')` returns rows | ## Step 7: Real Data Source (Production) When ready, replace sample data with a real data source adapter in `instance/config/instance.yaml`: ```yaml data_source: type: "keboola" keboola: storage_token: "${KEBOOLA_STORAGE_TOKEN}" stack_url: "https://connection.keboola.com" project_id: "12345" ``` Add the token to `.env` and create `config/data_description.md` with table schemas. Other planned adapters: BigQuery, CSV import. ## Deployment Workflow (Ongoing) ### Update OSS code ```bash cd /opt/data-analyst/repo && git pull bash server/deploy.sh # restarts services, syncs scripts/docs ``` ### Update instance config ```bash cd /opt/data-analyst/instance && git pull systemctl restart webapp # picks up new instance.yaml via symlink ``` ### Both at once ```bash cd /opt/data-analyst/repo && git pull cd /opt/data-analyst/instance && git pull bash server/deploy.sh ``` ## Server Layout Summary ``` /opt/data-analyst/ ├── repo/ -> git@github-oss:ORG/OSS_REPO.git ├── instance/ -> git@github-cfg:ORG/INSTANCE_REPO.git ├── .env # Secrets (not in git) ├── .venv/ # Python └── logs/ # App logs /root/.ssh/ ├── deploy_key # For OSS repo (github-oss alias) ├── instance_key # For instance repo (github-cfg alias) └── config # Maps aliases to keys Symlinks: repo/config/instance.yaml -> instance/config/instance.yaml repo/docs/data_description.md -> instance/config/data_description.md (optional) ``` ## Quick Verification ```bash # Health check curl http://YOUR_IP/health | python3 -m json.tool # Login page curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://YOUR_IP/login # Expected: 200 # Instance config loaded curl -s http://YOUR_IP/login | grep 'YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME' ```
