# 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 |

## 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
# Symlink data_description.md (for Data Catalog - add when ready in Step 6)
ln -sf /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, Data Catalog with profiling, analyst rsync, Claude Code analysis).
### How the Data Catalog & Profiler Pipeline Works
```
Instance repo Server filesystem Webapp
───────────── ──────────────── ──────
config/data_description.md ──symlink──> repo/docs/data_description.md
(tables, folder_mapping, │
foreign_keys) │
config/instance.yaml ────────symlink──> repo/config/instance.yaml
(catalog.categories, │
labels, icons, order) │
/data/src_data/parquet/*.parquet
┌─────────┴──────────┐

python -m src.profiler _load_catalog_data()
│ │

┌──────────┴──────────┐
▼ ▼
/api/catalog/profile/ _load_data_stats()
(per-table stats, (header: "9 tables,
columns, alerts, ~217K rows total")
relationships)
```
Key files and their roles:
| File | Location | Purpose |
|------|----------|---------|
| `data_description.md` | Instance repo | Table definitions, folder_mapping (bucket→category), foreign_keys |
| `instance.yaml` | Instance repo | Catalog category labels, icons, display order |
| `*.parquet` | `/data/src_data/parquet/` | Actual data files (flat or in subfolders) |
| `profiles.json` | `/data/src_data/metadata/` | Profiler output: statistics, alerts, relationships per table |
| `sync_state.json` | `/data/src_data/metadata/` | Sync process stats (optional; profiler provides fallback) |
**Folder mapping** serves dual purpose: maps table IDs to catalog categories for the UI,
and maps to filesystem paths for the profiler. The profiler auto-detects flat layouts
(all parquet files in one directory) vs subfolder layouts (Keboola-style `parquet/<folder>/<table>.parquet`).
### 6a: Generate Parquet Files
```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).
See `docs/sample-data.md` for the full data model and built-in analytical patterns.
### 6b: Configure Data Catalog
The Data Catalog reads from two files in the **instance repo**:
1. **`config/data_description.md`** - YAML block with `folder_mapping`, `tables` (id, name, description, primary_key, sync_strategy, foreign_keys)
2. **`config/instance.yaml`** - `catalog.categories` with label, icon per category + `catalog.order`
The `folder_mapping` maps bucket prefixes from table IDs to category names. Example:
table ID `sample.sales.orders` → bucket `sample.sales` → folder `sales` → category "Sales & Orders".
Tables with `foreign_keys` will show interactive relationship diagrams in the profiler modal.
Add `data_description.md` to the instance repo with the sample tables:
```bash
cd /opt/data-analyst/instance
# Create data_description.md (see config/data_description.md.example in OSS repo)
# Must contain a ```yaml block with:
# folder_mapping: { "bucket.prefix": "category_key", ... }
# tables: list of table definitions
#
# Each table needs: id, name, description, primary_key, sync_strategy
# Optional: foreign_keys (for profiler Relationships tab)
#
# Example foreign_keys:
# foreign_keys:
# - column: "customer_id"
# references: "customers.customer_id"
# description: "Ordering customer"
# Add catalog categories to instance.yaml:
cat >> config/instance.yaml << 'YAML'
catalog:
categories:
customers:
label: "Customers"
icon: "users"
products:
label: "Product Catalog"
icon: "package"
marketing:
label: "Marketing & Campaigns"
icon: "megaphone"
web:
label: "Web Analytics"
icon: "globe"
sales:
label: "Sales & Orders"
icon: "shopping-cart"
support:
label: "Support & Tickets"
icon: "help-circle"
order: [customers, products, marketing, web, sales, support]
YAML
git add -A && git commit -m "Add sample data catalog" && git push origin main
```
Then symlink and restart:
```bash
# Symlink data_description.md into OSS repo (if not already done)
ln -sf /opt/data-analyst/instance/config/data_description.md \
/opt/data-analyst/repo/docs/data_description.md
systemctl restart webapp
```
### 6c: Run Data Profiler
The profiler reads parquet files + `data_description.md` and generates `profiles.json`
with per-table statistics, column analysis, data quality alerts, and relationship maps.
```bash
cd /opt/data-analyst/repo
/opt/data-analyst/.venv/bin/python -m src.profiler
```
Output: `/data/src_data/metadata/profiles.json` (auto-created, readable by webapp).
The profiler provides:
- **Overview**: row count, column count, file size, date coverage, missing cell %
- **Columns**: type distribution, top values, histograms for numeric columns
- **Insights**: data quality alerts (high missing %, imbalanced categories, high cardinality)
- **Relationships**: FK diagram built from `foreign_keys` in `data_description.md`
- **Sample**: first 5 rows of the table
Without `sync_state.json` (no data adapter running), the profiler computes file sizes
directly from parquet files, and the catalog header derives table/row counts from `profiles.json`.
To re-run after data changes:
```bash
cd /opt/data-analyst/repo && /opt/data-analyst/.venv/bin/python -m src.profiler
# No webapp restart needed - profiles.json is read on each request
```
### 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 | Data Catalog | `/catalog` page shows 6 categories with 9 tables |
| 6.4 | Catalog header | "9 tables, ~217K+ rows total" (from profiles.json) |
| 6.5 | Profile modal | Click "Profile" on any table → statistics, columns, insights |
| 6.6 | Relationships | Orders profile → shows customers, order_items, payments links |
| 6.7 | File sizes | Profile overview shows non-zero file size (e.g., 0.69 MB) |
| 6.8 | Analyst sync | Analyst can rsync parquet files to local machine |
| 6.9 | 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
```
