# Hackathon TL;DR — Deploy & Develop Two condensed playbooks, written to be copy-pasteable by both humans and AI agents. For depth see [`ONBOARDING.md`](ONBOARDING.md) and [`DEPLOYMENT.md`](DEPLOYMENT.md). - [Part 1 — Deploy for a new customer](#part-1--deploy-for-a-new-customer) - [Part 2 — Develop against Agnes](#part-2--develop-against-agnes) - [Part 3 — AI agent checklist](#part-3--ai-agent-checklist) --- ## Part 1 — Deploy for a new customer **Goal:** Agnes running in `https://'s own GCP project`, accessible on an IP. Target time: **45 minutes**. ### Prerequisites (verify first) ```bash gcloud --version # ≥ 500.0.0 terraform --version # ≥ 1.5 gh --version # any recent gh auth status # must be logged in with repo + workflow + admin:repo_hook scopes ``` Plus: - GCP project with **billing linked**; you have `roles/owner` or equivalent - Keboola Storage token (if `data_source = "keboola"`) ### Step 1 — Bootstrap GCP project ```bash # Download + run bootstrap (creates deploy SA, tfstate bucket, enables APIs) curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst/main/scripts/bootstrap-gcp.sh -o bootstrap-gcp.sh chmod +x bootstrap-gcp.sh ./bootstrap-gcp.sh ``` Outputs you need from the run: - SA email `agnes-deploy@.iam.gserviceaccount.com` - Bucket `gs://agnes--tfstate` - Key file `./agnes-deploy--key.json` — move to `~/.agnes-keys/` and `chmod 600`. **Never git-commit.** ### Step 2 — Keboola token secret Skip if `data_source` is not keboola. ```bash echo -n "" | gcloud secrets create keboola-storage-token \ --data-file=- --replication-policy=automatic --project= ``` ### Step 3 — Create customer's private infra repo from template ```bash # can be your own org (if Keboola is deploying) or customer's org gh repo create /agnes-infra- \ --template keboola/agnes-infra-template \ --private \ --clone cd agnes-infra- # SA key to GitHub secret gh secret set GCP_SA_KEY < ~/.agnes-keys/agnes-deploy--key.json ``` ### Step 4 — GitHub environments + auto-merge ```bash # dev environment — no protection gh api -X PUT repos//agnes-infra-/environments/dev # prod environment — branch policy (main only), no reviewer here; add manually via UI echo '{"deployment_branch_policy":{"protected_branches":true,"custom_branch_policies":false}}' \ | gh api -X PUT repos//agnes-infra-/environments/prod --input - # Settings → Environments → prod → Add required reviewer # Allow auto-merge on this repo (for Renovate) gh api -X PATCH repos//agnes-infra- \ -f allow_auto_merge=true -f delete_branch_on_merge=true # Install Renovate GitHub App on this repo: # https://github.com/apps/renovate → Configure → /agnes-infra- ``` ### Step 5 — Edit `terraform/main.tf` and `terraform.tfvars` ```hcl # terraform/main.tf — replace both placeholders backend "gcs" { bucket = "agnes--tfstate" prefix = "" } ``` ```bash cp terraform/terraform.tfvars.example terraform/terraform.tfvars # Edit, minimum required: # gcp_project_id = "" # customer_name = "" # lowercase, 2–21 chars # seed_admin_email = "admin@.com" # keboola_stack_url = "https://connection..gcp.keboola.com/" ``` ### Step 6 — First apply (from local, before CI is set up) ```bash cd terraform export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/.agnes-keys/agnes-deploy--key.json terraform init terraform plan # verify counts: ~20 resources to add terraform apply # type 'yes' # Expected: ~5 min. Outputs include prod_ip. terraform output -raw prod_ip ``` Alternative: commit tfvars + push to main — GitHub Actions `apply-dev` auto-runs, `apply-prod` waits for reviewer. ### Step 7 — Bootstrap the admin + log in ```bash PROD_IP=$(terraform output -raw prod_ip) curl -X POST "http://$PROD_IP:8000/auth/bootstrap" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email":"","password":""}' ``` Expected: 200 OK + JSON with `role: "admin"`. Open `http://:8000/login` → sign in. Done. ### Verify (smoke tests) ```bash curl -s "http://$PROD_IP:8000/api/health" | jq '{status, version, channel}' curl -s "http://$PROD_IP:8000/api/version" | jq ``` Both should return JSON. Badge in UI footer shows `channel-version · deployed Xs ago`. ### Troubleshooting | Symptom | Cause | Fix | |---|---|---| | `PERMISSION_DENIED: monitoring.uptimeCheckConfigs.create` | monitoring.googleapis.com not enabled / role missing | Re-run `bootstrap-gcp.sh` (grants `roles/monitoring.editor`) | | `At least one of the pre-conditions you specified did not hold` | Stale GCS state lock | Remove `gs://…/tfstate//default.tflock` + retry | | `Error acquiring the state lock` | Active apply concurrent | Wait, or `terraform force-unlock ` | | Docker pull fails `ghcr.io/…:: not found` | `image_tag` pins a branch/tag that was never built | Fix `image_tag` in tfvars (use `stable` or `dev` floating) | | VM up but `/api/health` 000 / connection refused | Startup script still running (takes 60–90 s) | Tail `/var/log/agnes-startup.log` via `gcloud compute ssh` | | `/auth/bootstrap` returns 403 `already have passwords` | Someone already bootstrapped. | Use normal login at `/login/password` | --- ## Part 2 — Develop against Agnes **Loop:** branch in public repo → auto-built `:dev-` image → point a dev VM at that tag → iterate. ### Development architecture (mental model) ``` keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst (public) │ │ push branch zs/my-edit ├──▶ release.yml builds ghcr.io/…:dev-zs-my-edit (one image per push to branch) │ │ push to main └──▶ release.yml builds :stable + :stable-YYYY.MM.N /terraform.tfvars │ │ dev_instances = [..., { name = "agnes-zs", image_tag = "dev-zs-my-edit" }, ...] └──▶ apply-dev recreates VM agnes-zs, pinned to that tag, cron pulls new digests every 5 min ``` ### Step 1 — Branch and push (in `keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst`) ```bash git checkout -b zs/my-edit # or feature/xyz, fix/bar — any slash prefix works # …edit code… git commit -am "wip: my experiment" git push origin zs/my-edit # → release.yml builds ghcr.io/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst:dev-zs-my-edit (~5 min) ``` **Slug rule:** `` is slugified — non-`[a-z0-9-]` → `-`, lowercased, max 50 chars. Leading `feature/` is stripped. So: - `zs/my-edit` → `:dev-zs-my-edit` - `feature/alice/dashboard` → `:dev-alice-dashboard` - `fix/issue_42` → `:dev-fix-issue-42` Verify the image exists before continuing: ```bash docker manifest inspect ghcr.io/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst:dev-zs-my-edit ``` ### Step 2 — Open PR in the customer's infra repo ```bash cd git checkout -b add-dev-vm-zs # Edit terraform/variables.tf or terraform.tfvars: # dev_instances = [ # { name = "agnes-dev", image_tag = "dev" }, # { name = "agnes-zs-edit", image_tag = "dev-zs-my-edit" }, # <-- added # ] git commit -am "add: dev VM pinned to zs/my-edit" git push origin add-dev-vm-zs gh pr create ``` `plan.yml` comments on PR with diff. Review + merge → `apply-dev` creates VM (~2 min). ### Step 3 — Access your VM ```bash cd terraform terraform output -json instance_ips # grep your VM's name # Open http://:8000/login # Use the customer's admin credentials (seed + password) ``` ### Step 4 — Iterate Every push to your branch: 1. release.yml rebuilds `:dev-zs-my-edit` 2. Cron on your VM (every 5 min) detects new digest, pulls, restarts containers 3. Within ~6 min of your push, your VM runs the new code No manual apply needed. ### Step 5 — Merge to main Open PR on public repo → review → merge. This: 1. Builds `:stable + :stable-YYYY.MM.N` (main) 2. Smoke test in CI 3. Cron on **all prod VMs** (every customer!) pulls new `:stable` within 5 min Your branch's `:dev-zs-my-edit` tag persists in GHCR but is no longer updated. Your dev VM still runs the last build of your branch until you change its `image_tag`. ### Step 6 — Clean up PR in customer infra repo removing the entry: ```diff dev_instances = [ { name = "agnes-dev", image_tag = "dev" }, - { name = "agnes-zs-edit", image_tag = "dev-zs-my-edit" }, ] ``` Merge → apply-dev destroys the VM + data disk + IP + monitoring resources. Daily snapshot (if enabled) retains data for 30 days. ### Common development tasks | Task | Where | How | |---|---|---| | Write code | public repo | Normal git workflow | | Run tests locally | public repo | `TESTING=1 pytest tests/ -v` | | Bump infra module | public repo | Edit `infra/modules/customer-instance/`, PR, merge, create `infra-vX.Y.Z` tag | | Point customer at new module | customer infra repo | Renovate opens PR; or edit `ref=` in main.tf manually | | Force-propagate startup script change | customer infra repo | Actions → Terraform Apply → Run workflow → `recreate_targets=module.agnes.google_compute_instance.vm["agnes-prod"]` | | Add dev VM for someone else | customer infra repo | Add entry to `dev_instances`, PR, merge | | Rotate Keboola token | customer GCP + VM | `gcloud secrets versions add keboola-storage-token --data-file=-` then SSH + `sudo /usr/local/bin/agnes-auto-upgrade.sh` (no manual edits to `.env`) | | Restart app manually | customer VM | `sudo docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml -f docker-compose.host-mount.yml restart app` | | See current deployed version | any | Footer badge on UI, or `curl /api/version` | ### Rules - **Never `gcloud compute ssh` + edit `/opt/agnes/.env`** — gets wiped on next VM recreate. Route all config through Terraform or Secret Manager. - **Never edit inside a VM's `/opt/agnes/`** — same reason. If you need a change to survive, it belongs in the module / compose files / tfvars. - **Never bump `infra-v*` by tagging upstream without first testing on a dev VM** — a broken module propagates to all customer repos via Renovate. - **Never delete a customer's data disk without a manual `gcloud compute disks snapshot` first** if in doubt about what's on it. --- ## Part 3 — AI agent checklist These are guardrails/verification steps an AI agent should follow autonomously. ### Before taking destructive action Run and read, don't assume: ```bash terraform plan # what will actually change? gh run list --limit 3 # any CI failures? curl -s :8000/api/health | jq .status # is prod actually healthy? ``` ### When propagating module bumps 1. Read `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-21-deployment-log.md` for context on iteration history. 2. Check current `ref=` in customer infra repo against latest `infra-v*` tag in upstream. 3. Prefer Renovate PR over manual edit — has automatic `terraform validate` gate. 4. For startup-script changes (not just module-resource changes), use `workflow_dispatch` → `recreate_targets` to force VM recreate. Normal apply won't propagate (`ignore_changes`). ### When a customer reports "it's broken" ```bash # What version is deployed? curl -s http://:8000/api/version | jq # Recent deploys? gh run list --repo /agnes-infra- --limit 5 # VM state? gcloud compute instances list --project= --filter="name~agnes-" # App logs (last 50) gcloud compute ssh agnes-prod --zone=... --project=... \ --command="sudo docker logs agnes-app-1 --tail 50" # Startup script log (if VM just booted) gcloud compute ssh agnes-prod --zone=... --project=... \ --command="sudo tail -30 /var/log/agnes-startup.log" ``` ### When you're unsure Prefer non-destructive paths first: 1. `terraform plan` (read-only) before `apply` 2. Add a new resource before deleting an old one 3. Snapshot before destroying a disk 4. Dev VM before touching prod — always ### Common pitfalls to detect | Pitfall | Check | |---|---| | Uncommitted local changes on operator's laptop | `git status -s` in infra repo | | Multiple concurrent applies (state lock) | `gsutil ls gs://.../tflock` | | `image_tag` points at non-existent GHCR image | `docker manifest inspect ghcr.io/…:` | | Seed user without password on fresh deploy | `curl /api/health | jq .services.users.count` — if 1 and nobody has logged in, `/auth/bootstrap` is still open | | Main branch protection prevents direct push | Use PR + auto-merge; never force-push to main | | Renovate not installed → module bumps don't happen | Check `https://github.com///pulls?q=author%3Aapp%2Frenovate` | | `/opt/agnes/.env` edited manually → drift | `git diff` against module's expected `.env` shape | ### Safe-to-run anytime - `curl /api/health`, `curl /api/version` — no auth, no side effects - `terraform plan` — read-only - `gh run list`, `gh pr list` — read-only - `gcloud ... describe` / `list` — read-only - `docker logs` / `docker inspect` — read-only (on the VM) ### Requires thought - `terraform apply` — mutates infra - `gh workflow run` with `recreate_targets` — destroys + recreates VMs - `gcloud compute instances delete` — unrecoverable after 30 days - `gcloud secrets versions destroy` — unrecoverable - `gh repo delete` — unrecoverable --- ## Reference links - Full onboarding: [`docs/ONBOARDING.md`](ONBOARDING.md) - Deployment comparison: [`docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`](DEPLOYMENT.md) - Spec (architecture rationale): [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-21-multi-customer-deployment-spec.md`](superpowers/specs/2026-04-21-multi-customer-deployment-spec.md) - Deployment log (what we actually built, with iterations and known limitations): [`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-21-deployment-log.md`](superpowers/plans/2026-04-21-deployment-log.md) - Module source: [`infra/modules/customer-instance/`](../infra/modules/customer-instance/) - Upstream issues: https://github.com/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst/issues
