NUC Server - Claude Code Instructions

Server Access

The NUC server is accessible via SSH:

ssh nuc

Connection Details:

  • Hostname: 192.168.1.3 (local) or 100.113.153.45 (Tailscale)
  • User: alezmad
  • SSH Key: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_nuc

DNS & Tailscale Setup

DNS Strategy: Local IP + Tailscale Subnet Routing

All .nuc.lan domains resolve to the local LAN IP (192.168.1.3). This allows any device on the LAN to access services without Tailscale.

Remote access (Tailscale) works via two mechanisms:

  1. Split DNS: Tailscale forwards *.nuc.lan queries to the OpenWrt router (192.168.1.1) through the tunnel
  2. Subnet routing: The NUC advertises 192.168.1.0/24 as a Tailscale subnet route, so 192.168.1.3 is reachable from any Tailscale device remotely

Configured Domains (OpenWrt Router DNS)

Domain Resolves To Service
nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 NUC Portal
nuc.local 192.168.1.3 NUC Portal
coolify.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Coolify
gitea.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Gitea
outline.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Outline Wiki
files.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 FileBrowser
mail.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Snappymail
vault.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Vaultwarden
homepage.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 NUC Portal
brand.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Whyrating Brand
templates.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Whyrating Templates
whyrating.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Whyrating Hub
whyops.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 WhyOps (scraping, pipelines, testing)
arrio.nuc.lan 192.168.1.3 Arrio (hotel check-in)

Traefik Routing (Dynamic Config)

Traefik routes domain-based requests to the correct backend. Config location: /data/coolify/proxy/dynamic/nuc-services.yaml

# Routes for port-based services via domain names
http:
  routers:
    coolify:
      rule: Host(`coolify.nuc.lan`)
      service: coolify
  services:
    coolify:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: http://host.docker.internal:8000

Adding a New Domain

# 1. Add DNS entry on router (via NUC jump host)
ssh nuc "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_nuc root@192.168.1.1 '
uci add dhcp domain
uci set dhcp.@domain[-1].name=\"newservice.nuc.lan\"
uci set dhcp.@domain[-1].ip=\"192.168.1.3\"
uci commit dhcp
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
'"

# 2. Add Traefik route (if needed for port-based service)
# Edit /data/coolify/proxy/dynamic/nuc-services.yaml

Always-On Tailscale

Keep Tailscale running - it's designed to be always-on:

  • When on home network: Uses direct connection (no relay, same performance as local)
  • When remote: Routes through Tailscale mesh
  • Minimal resource usage (~0% CPU when idle)

Service Management

Coolify (Primary Service Manager)

All services are managed through Coolify at http://coolify.nuc.lan (or http://100.113.153.45:8000)

Prefer using Coolify MCP (mcp__coolify__*) for service management - it's faster and more reliable than SSH commands.

⚠️ STRICT RULE: Container Deployment Priority

ALWAYS attempt Coolify first when adding any container/service:

  1. First: Try mcp__coolify__service(action="create", type="<service-name>", ...)
  2. If type invalid: Deploy via docker-compose in Coolify using docker_compose_raw
  3. Last resort: Direct Docker commands via SSH (only if Coolify can't handle it)
# Step 1: Try native Coolify service type
mcp__coolify__service(action="create", type="servicename", name="ServiceName",
  server_uuid="qk84w0goo4w48g4ggsoo0oss", project_uuid="a8484ggc88c40w4g4k004ow0",
  environment_name="production", instant_deploy=True)

# Step 2: If "Invalid service type", use docker-compose
mcp__coolify__service(action="create", name="ServiceName",
  server_uuid="qk84w0goo4w48g4ggsoo0oss", project_uuid="a8484ggc88c40w4g4k004ow0",
  environment_name="production",
  docker_compose_raw="""
services:
  myservice:
    image: organization/image:tag
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - data:/app/data
volumes:
  data:
""", instant_deploy=True)

Why Coolify first:

  • Centralized management in one UI
  • Automatic restarts, health checks
  • Easy updates and rollbacks
  • Visible in infrastructure overview
  • Consistent with existing services

⚠️ STRICT RULE: Browser MCP for Manual Configurations

When a task requires manual web UI interaction (OAuth setup, API key generation, admin consoles), ALWAYS use Browser MCP instead of asking the user to do it manually.

Priority order for browser automation:

  1. mcp__playwriter-nuc-01__* - Remote NUC browser (preferred, no local resources)
  2. mcp__chrome-devtools-nuc-01__* - Chrome DevTools for NUC browser
  3. mcp__playwriter-local__* - Local browser (fallback, uses local resources)

Browser MCP Naming Convention:

playwriter-<location>-<id>
chrome-devtools-<location>-<id>

Examples:
- playwriter-local          → Local machine browser
- playwriter-nuc-01         → First NUC browser container
- playwriter-nuc-02         → Second NUC browser (future)
- playwriter-cloud-01       → Cloud browser instance (future)

Common use cases:

  • Generating API keys/tokens (Tailscale, OAuth apps, etc.)
  • Configuring OAuth/OIDC providers
  • Admin console settings not available via API
  • Any "go to website and click" tasks
# Example: Navigate and interact
mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page(type="url", url="https://admin.example.com")
mcp__chrome-devtools__take_snapshot()  # See current state
mcp__chrome-devtools__click(uid="<element_uid>")
mcp__chrome-devtools__fill(uid="<element_uid>", value="text")

NEVER say "please go to X and do Y manually" - use browser MCP instead.

⚠️ STRICT RULE: Parallel Subtasks for Multiple Operations

When multiple independent services, configurations, or entities need to be set up, ALWAYS use parallel Task agents instead of sequential operations.

# WRONG - Sequential (slow)
# Step 1: Configure Tailscale
# Step 2: Configure WireGuard
# Step 3: Add to Homepage

# CORRECT - Parallel subtasks (fast)
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Configure Tailscale auth key...", description="Setup Tailscale")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Install WireGuard on router...", description="Setup WireGuard")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="Add services to Homepage...", description="Update Homepage")
# All three run simultaneously!

When to parallelize:

  • Multiple service deployments
  • Multiple configuration changes across different systems
  • Independent API calls or browser automations
  • Any tasks that don't depend on each other's output

How to parallelize:

  • Use multiple Task tool calls in a single message
  • Each task gets its own agent with full context
  • Results are collected when all complete

Stalwart Mail MCP (Quick Guide)

Location: ~/mcp-servers/stalwart-mail/

Manage the self-hosted Stalwart mail server via natural language.

Available Tools:

Category Tools
Users list_users, get_user, create_user, update_user_password, delete_user, add_email_alias
Domains create_domain, generate_dkim
Queue list_queue, get_queue_status, delete_queued_message, retry_queued_message
Monitoring get_metrics, get_dmarc_reports, get_server_logs
DNS check_dns_records, troubleshoot_delivery
Spam train_spam, train_ham, update_spam_filter

Usage Examples:

"List all mail users"
"Create user sales with email sales@whyrating.com and password Secret123"
"Check the mail queue"
"Verify DNS records for whyrating.com"
"Show server metrics"
"Delete user john"

Direct API Test (if MCP not responding):

curl -s -u "admin:QfKYjCJdxu" "http://192.168.1.3:8081/api/principal" | jq .

Reconfigure MCP:

claude mcp remove stalwart-mail
claude mcp add stalwart-mail \
  -e STALWART_URL=http://192.168.1.3:8081 \
  -e STALWART_USER=admin \
  -e STALWART_PASS=QfKYjCJdxu \
  --scope user \
  -- ~/mcp-servers/stalwart-mail/.venv/bin/python ~/mcp-servers/stalwart-mail/server.py

⚠️ SMTP Authentication Requirements:

  1. Password format: Must be SHA-512 hashed (not plaintext). When creating users via API:
    import crypt
    hashed = crypt.crypt('password', crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA512))
    # Use hashed value in 'secrets' field
    
  2. SMTP login: Use username only (e.g., info), NOT full email (info@whyrating.com)
  3. Port 465 (SMTPS): Supports PLAIN/LOGIN auth with implicit TLS
  4. Port 587 (Submission): Requires STARTTLS, only OAuth supported without TLS

Send email via Python (from NUC):

import smtplib, ssl
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

context = ssl.create_default_context()
context.check_hostname = False
context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE

with smtplib.SMTP_SSL('localhost', 465, context=context) as server:
    server.login('info', 'whyrating2026')  # Username only!
    server.sendmail('info@whyrating.com', 'recipient@example.com', msg.as_string())

Email Client MCP (Read/Send Emails)

Package: mcp-email-server

Read and send emails via IMAP/SMTP directly from Claude.

Configured for: info@whyrating.com on Stalwart

Usage Examples:

"Check my inbox"
"Read the latest email"
"Send an email to john@example.com with subject Hello"
"Search emails from support@"
"List email folders"

Reconfigure:

claude mcp remove email-client
claude mcp add email-client \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_EMAIL_ADDRESS=info@whyrating.com \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD=whyrating2026 \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_HOST=192.168.1.3 \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_IMAP_PORT=143 \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_HOST=192.168.1.3 \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_PORT=587 \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_SMTP_VERIFY_SSL=false \
  -e MCP_EMAIL_SERVER_ENABLE_ATTACHMENT_DOWNLOAD=true \
  --scope user \
  -- uvx mcp-email-server@latest stdio

Adding Remote MCP Servers (HTTP Transport)

Use claude mcp add --transport http for remote MCP endpoints - this is the recommended method for services with native MCP support.

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url> --scope user --header "<header>"

# Example: NocoDB MCP (globally available)
claude mcp add --transport http nocodb http://192.168.1.3:8084/mcp/ncnyir1cy6n9bf5p \
  --scope user \
  --header "xc-mcp-token: qjjAXRxuYzRtEn-cA4lbPFi5km_pojTX"

Scope options:

  • --scope user - Available across all projects (stored in ~/.claude.json)
  • --scope local - Current project only (default)
  • --scope project - Shared via .mcp.json (committed to repo)

Why CLI over JSON config:

  • JSON config with mcp-remote often fails to load tools
  • CLI --transport http handles HTTP endpoints natively
  • No need for --allow-http flag or other workarounds

Managing MCP servers:

claude mcp list                    # List all configured servers
claude mcp get nocodb              # Get details for specific server
claude mcp remove nocodb           # Remove a server
/mcp                               # Check status in Claude Code

⚠️ STRICT RULE: MCP Research Protocol

When asked to find/recommend new MCPs, read the detailed guide at docs/mcp-research-guide.md which contains:

  • MCP directories (MCP.so, Smithery, MCPHub, etc.)
  • GitHub verification resources
  • Evaluation criteria checklist
  • Research workflow
  • Category quick reference

Quick workflow:

  1. Search directories: mcp.so, smithery.ai, mcpservers.org
  2. Verify on GitHub: stars, last commit, issues
  3. Evaluate: 50+ stars, <6 months active, 3+ tools, OSS license

Playwriter as Fallback

When SSH, API endpoints, or other MCPs can't accomplish a task (e.g., no API available, UI-only settings), use Playwriter MCP to automate browser interactions:

// Navigate to service UI
await page.goto('http://192.168.1.3:8000');
// Get page state
console.log(await accessibilitySnapshot({ page }));
// Interact with elements
await page.locator('aria-ref=e5').click();

Use cases:

  • Configuring services that lack APIs (Coolify UI settings, etc.)
  • Creating OAuth apps, API keys through web interfaces
  • Debugging issues by inspecting service dashboards
  • Any task where clicking through a UI is the only option

Remote Browser Container (NUC)

A dedicated browser container runs on the NUC for AI-controlled browsing without local resources:

Access:

  • noVNC Web: http://192.168.1.3:6081/vnc.html
  • Playwriter Relay: ws://192.168.1.3:19988
  • Chrome DevTools: http://192.168.1.3:9222

MCP connects remotely via:

{
  "playwriter-nuc-01": {
    "_id": "nuc-01",
    "_host": "192.168.1.3",
    "args": ["playwriter", "--host", "ws://192.168.1.3:19988", "--token", "nuc-browser-token"]
  }
}

First-time setup: Access noVNC, install Playwriter extension, click to activate (turns green).

Container location: ~/playwriter-browser/ on NUC (deployed via docker compose)

Coolify CLI Commands:

# Access Coolify's Laravel tinker for direct database/service manipulation
ssh nuc "docker exec coolify php artisan tinker --execute=\"<PHP_CODE>\""

# Restart a service (example for service ID 9 - Outline)
ssh nuc "docker exec coolify php artisan tinker --execute=\"
use App\Actions\Service\StartService;
use App\Models\Service;
\\\$service = Service::find(9);
StartService::run(\\\$service);
\""

# Update environment variable (encrypted)
ssh nuc "docker exec coolify php artisan tinker --execute=\"
use App\Models\EnvironmentVariable;
\\\$var = EnvironmentVariable::where('key', 'VAR_NAME')->where('resourceable_id', SERVICE_ID)->first();
\\\$var->value = encrypt('new_value');
\\\$var->save();
\""

Docker Commands

# List all containers
ssh nuc "docker ps -a --format '{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}'"

# View container logs
ssh nuc "docker logs <container_name> 2>&1 | tail -50"

# Restart a container
ssh nuc "docker restart <container_name>"

# Execute command in container
ssh nuc "docker exec <container_name> <command>"

Note: Use Tailscale IP (100.113.153.45) instead of 192.168.1.3 to avoid subnet conflicts when remote.

Port Forwarding

Some services use port forwarding containers (alpine/socat or nginx) to expose internal Coolify services:

# Create a port forwarder for a Coolify service
ssh nuc "docker run -d --name port-fwd-<service> --network <coolify_network> -p <external_port>:<internal_port> alpine/socat tcp-listen:<internal_port>,fork,reuseaddr tcp-connect:<container_name>:<container_port>"

Configuration Files

Homepage Config:

  • Location: /opt/homepage/config/
  • Services: /opt/homepage/config/services.yaml

Coolify Data:

  • Location: /data/coolify/

Important Notes

  1. After Coolify redeploy: Containers may be in "Created" state - manually start with docker start <container>

  2. Environment Variables in Coolify: Are encrypted with Laravel encryption. Use encrypt() when updating.

  3. HSTS Issues: Some services send HSTS headers. Use nginx proxy with proxy_hide_header Strict-Transport-Security; to strip them.

  4. Network Discovery: Find container's network with docker inspect <container> --format '{{.NetworkSettings.Networks}}'

Troubleshooting

Coolify MCP vs Direct Docker

Always verify Coolify status with Docker - Coolify's status can lag behind actual container state:

# Coolify may show "exited" but container is actually running
ssh nuc "docker ps -a --format 'table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}' | grep <service>"

Common Issues

  1. Containers stuck in "Created" state: After Coolify restart/redeploy, containers may not auto-start

    ssh nuc "docker start <container_name>"
    
  2. Service shows "running:unknown": No healthcheck configured. Add one via Coolify service update:

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "-q", "--spider", "http://localhost:<port>"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 30s
    
  3. Service dependencies not starting: Services with depends_on: condition: service_healthy won't start until dependencies are healthy. Check dependency containers first.

  4. Stale database entries in Coolify: Coolify may have database/service entries with no corresponding container. Safe to delete if container doesn't exist:

    # Verify container doesn't exist
    ssh nuc "docker ps -a | grep <container_name>"
    # Then delete via Coolify MCP or UI
    
  5. Embedded vs Standalone databases: Services like Outline and Authentik have their own PostgreSQL containers (e.g., postgres-pccg80...) bundled in the service compose. These are separate from standalone Coolify databases.

  6. Wrong healthcheck endpoint: Some services use /healthz instead of /. Verify with:

    ssh nuc "docker exec <container> wget -qO- http://127.0.0.1:<port>/healthz"
    
  7. localhost resolves to IPv6 on NUC: Docker containers bind to IPv4 only. Always use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in Tailscale Funnel/Serve targets, curl commands inside SSH, etc.

  8. Tailscale Funnel port not working externally: Funnel ONLY supports ports 443, 8443, and 10000. Other ports will show as "Funnel on" in status but won't route internet traffic.

  9. Creating API keys when no UI available (e.g., n8n):

    # Stop container, insert directly into SQLite, restart
    ssh nuc "docker run --rm -v <volume>:/data keinos/sqlite3 sqlite3 /data/database.sqlite \"<INSERT_QUERY>\""

Gitea-Coolify Integration (Git Auto-Deploy)

Deploy Next.js apps from self-hosted Gitea with auto-deploy on push. Full docs: docs/gitea-coolify-auto-deploy.md

⚠️ CRITICAL: Gitea Webhook Allowed Hosts

Gitea blocks webhooks to internal hosts by default! Before setting up webhooks, configure ALLOWED_HOST_LIST in Gitea's app.ini:

# Edit Gitea config
ssh nuc "docker exec gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8 vi /data/gitea/conf/app.ini"

# Add/modify [webhook] section:
[webhook]
ALLOWED_HOST_LIST = coolify,10.0.1.5,192.168.1.3,localhost,host.docker.internal,external

# Restart Gitea
ssh nuc "docker restart gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8"

Without this, webhooks fail with: webhook can only call allowed HTTP servers

Key References

Resource Value
Deploy Key UUID akssgwowsccgwgoggs4ks8ck
Gitea Container gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8
Webhook Secret 9eb07a77964563378c5d66d99006e06ba3da39d232905d4b12554ff91ca39718

⚠️ CRITICAL: Webhook Secret Must Be Set in BOTH Places

Auto-deploy won't work unless the webhook secret is configured in BOTH Coolify AND Gitea!

Step 1: Set secret in Coolify (via tinker or when creating app):

ssh nuc "docker exec coolify php artisan tinker --execute=\"
use App\\Models\\Application;
\\\$app = Application::where('uuid', '<app-uuid>')->first();
\\\$app->manual_webhook_secret_gitea = '9eb07a77964563378c5d66d99006e06ba3da39d232905d4b12554ff91ca39718';
\\\$app->save();
\""

Step 2: Set secret in Gitea webhook:

  1. Go to repo → Settings → Webhooks → Add/Edit Webhook
  2. Target URL: http://coolify:8080/webhooks/source/gitea/events/manual?uuid=<app-uuid>
  3. Secret: 9eb07a77964563378c5d66d99006e06ba3da39d232905d4b12554ff91ca39718
  4. Trigger: Push Events
  5. Active: ✓

Common symptom when secret is missing: Git pushes succeed but no deployment is triggered. Check:

# Verify Coolify has the secret
ssh nuc "docker exec coolify php artisan tinker --execute=\"
use App\\Models\\Application;
\\\$app = Application::where('uuid', '<app-uuid>')->first();
echo 'Secret: ' . (\\\$app->manual_webhook_secret_gitea ? 'SET' : 'MISSING');
\""

Local Development (Clone & Push)

SSH config is set up for direct git operations:

# Clone a repo
git clone gitea:alezmad/nuc-portal.git

# Push changes (triggers auto-deploy via webhook)
git push origin main

SSH Host Config (in ~/.ssh/config):

Host gitea
  HostName 192.168.1.3
  Port 22222
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_nuc

Webhook URL Format (MUST include UUID and use port 8080!)

http://coolify:8080/webhooks/source/gitea/events/manual?uuid=<app-uuid>

⚠️ Port 8080 is required - Coolify listens on 8080 internally (not 8000, which is the external mapping).

App UUID Webhook URL

\""

# 4. Create webhook in Gitea (via browser or API):
#    URL: http://coolify:8080/webhooks/source/gitea/events/manual?uuid=<app-uuid>
#    (Use port 8080, NOT 8000 - 8080 is the internal container port)
#    Secret: 9eb07a77964563378c5d66d99006e06ba3da39d232905d4b12554ff91ca39718
#    Trigger: Push Events

# 5. Deploy
mcp__coolify__deploy(tag_or_uuid="<app-uuid>")

Deploy Key (add to each new repo)

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIGHtsL3jicJTsBekYuwbKjO0EcRadYKhvLSUw/36XF7h coolify-gitea

Add via Gitea: Repository → Settings → Deploy Keys → Enable Write Access

New Repo Auto-Deploy Checklist

When creating a new repo that should auto-deploy:

  1. [ ] Add deploy key to Gitea repo

    • Go to: http://192.168.1.3:3030/alezmad/<repo>/settings/keys
    • Add the deploy key above with Write Access enabled
  2. [ ] Create Coolify application (use mcp__coolify__application with action="create_key")

  3. [ ] Set FQDN via tinker command

  4. [ ] Set webhook secret via tinker command (use shared secret above)

  5. [ ] Create Gitea webhook

    • Go to: http://192.168.1.3:3030/alezmad/<repo>/settings/hooks
    • Add Webhook → Gitea
    • URL: http://coolify:8080/webhooks/source/gitea/events/manual?uuid=<app-uuid>
    • Secret: 9eb07a77964563378c5d66d99006e06ba3da39d232905d4b12554ff91ca39718
    • Trigger: Push Events
    • Active:
  6. [ ] Test webhook - Click "Test Delivery" and verify HTTP 200 response

  7. [ ] Initial deploy - mcp__coolify__deploy(tag_or_uuid="<app-uuid>")

Common mistakes:

  • Using port 8000 instead of 8080 in webhook URL
  • Forgetting ?uuid=<app-uuid> in webhook URL
  • Not enabling Write Access on deploy key

Quick Verification Commands

# Check Gitea has [webhook] section configured
ssh nuc "docker exec gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8 cat /data/gitea/conf/app.ini | grep -A2 '\[webhook\]'"

# Test Coolify is reachable from Gitea (should return HTML)
ssh nuc "docker exec gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8 wget -qO- --timeout=5 http://coolify:8080/ | head -5"

# Check Gitea is on coolify network
ssh nuc "docker inspect gitea-ho0cwgcwos88cwc48g84c0g8 --format '{{json .NetworkSettings.Networks}}' | jq -r 'keys[]'"

Why NOT "Gitea Source"

Coolify's "Gitea Source" uses GitHub App-style OAuth with JWT - this doesn't work with Gitea. Use deploy keys + manual webhooks instead.

Turbostarter (Knosia) - Build & Deploy

Turbostarter is deployed as a Coolify Service (not a standalone app) with full docker-compose infrastructure: web + pgvector + minio.

Architecture: Tailscale Funnel (HTTPS) → Traefik (HTTP:80) → web container

FQDN (Traefik): http://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net (HTTP internally — Tailscale handles TLS termination)

Build & Deploy workflow:

# 1. Build image locally (ARM→AMD cross-compile)
cd /Users/agutierrez/Desktop/turbostarter-export
docker build --platform linux/amd64 \
  --build-arg NEXT_PUBLIC_URL=https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net \
  -t 192.168.1.3:3030/alezmad/turbostarter:latest .

# 2. Push to Gitea registry
docker push 192.168.1.3:3030/alezmad/turbostarter:latest

# 3. Redeploy via Coolify (stop + start for full container recreation)
mcp__coolify__control(resource="service", action="stop", uuid="v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4")
mcp__coolify__control(resource="service", action="start", uuid="v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4")

Containers:

Container Image Purpose
web-v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4 localhost:3030/alezmad/turbostarter:latest Next.js app
db-v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4 pgvector/pgvector:pg17 PostgreSQL + pgvector
minio-v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4 minio/minio:latest Object storage
minio-init-v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4 minio/mc:latest One-time bucket init

Database access (via SSH tunnel):

# Get DB container IP first
ssh nuc "docker inspect db-v4gogwwc8wkk4888ksscc4k4 --format '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}'"
# Then tunnel to IP (not container name)
ssh -L 5440:<container_ip>:5432 nuc
# Connect: postgres://turbostarter:turbostarter@localhost:5440/core

Seeded users: me+admin@turbostarter.dev / Pa$$w0rd (admin), me+user@turbostarter.dev / Pa$$w0rd

Key env vars:

  • BETTER_AUTH_TRUSTED_ORIGINS — comma-separated list of allowed origins (CSRF protection)
  • NEXT_PUBLIC_URL — build-time arg baked into Next.js static output (must rebuild to change)
  • DATABASE_URL — internal docker network connection to pgvector

New Site from nuc-portal Template

To create a new Next.js site using nuc-portal as a base:

# 1. Copy and clean
cp -r /path/to/nuc-portal /path/to/new-site
cd /path/to/new-site
rm -rf .git .next node_modules

# 2. Update package.json (name, description)
# 3. Customize src/app/page.tsx
# 4. Remove unused components if simplifying

# 5. Initialize and push
npm install && npm run build  # verify it builds
git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"
# Create repo in Gitea first, then:
git remote add origin gitea:alezmad/<repo-name>.git
git push -u origin main

Then follow the "New Repo Auto-Deploy Checklist" above.

Public Access & Security Architecture

Full architecture details: docs/architecture.md

Why Tailscale Funnel (Not Cloudflare)

Cloudflare shared IPs get blocked by Spanish ISPs during LaLiga matches. Tailscale Funnel:

  • Uses different IP infrastructure (not blocked)
  • Handles dynamic ISP IP changes automatically
  • No ports exposed on router
  • HTTPS termination included

Tailscale Funnel (Public Access)

Property Value
Funnel URL https://nuc-tailscale.tail58f5ad.ts.net
Tailscale IP 100.x.x.x (stable, never changes)
Status ssh nuc "tailscale funnel status"

⚠️ CRITICAL: Funnel only supports ports 443, 8443, and 10000. Other ports will appear to work locally (tailscale funnel status shows them) but traffic will NOT route from the public internet. Always use one of these three ports.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Always use 127.0.0.1, NOT localhost in Funnel/Serve targets. On the NUC, localhost resolves to IPv6 (::1) but Docker containers bind to IPv4 only, causing connection resets.

Start Funnel for a service:

# Expose port 3000 via Funnel (use 127.0.0.1, NOT localhost!)
ssh nuc "printf '<sudo_pass>\n' | sudo -S tailscale funnel --bg --https=8443 http://127.0.0.1:3000"

Current Funnel allocation:

Port Service Target
443 Traefik (main) http://192.168.1.3:80
8443 Palmr (file sharing) http://127.0.0.1:3334
10000 Palmr MinIO (uploads) http://127.0.0.1:9379

Current Domain Routes

Domain Destination Method
whyrating.com nuc-tailscale.tail58f5ad.ts.net Namecheap 301 redirect

Adding a New Domain

  1. Check availability (if needed):

    mcp__namecheap__namecheap_check_domain_availability(domains=["example.com"])
    
  2. Configure redirect at registrar (Namecheap):

    • Go to Domain List → Manage → Redirect Domain
    • Source: example.com
    • Destination: https://nuc-tailscale.tail58f5ad.ts.net
    • Type: Permanent (301)
  3. Start Funnel on NUC for the target port

Security Layers

Internet → Tailscale Funnel (HTTPS) → CrowdSec → Traefik → Container
                                         ↓
                                   Blocks malicious IPs
Layer Purpose
Tailscale Funnel Only entry point, HTTPS termination
CrowdSec DDoS protection, threat intelligence
Traefik Domain routing, rate limiting
Docker Networks Container isolation

Tailscale Mesh (Admin Access)

Private encrypted access from anywhere:

From Command
Remote SSH ssh nuc-tailscale
Remote Coolify http://nuc-tailscale:8000
Home network ssh nuc or http://192.168.1.3:8000

NOT exposed to internet: SSH (22), Coolify (8000), databases, MinIO, Authentik, router admin.

Dynamic IP Handling

ISP can change your public IP anytime. Tailscale handles this automatically:

  • Tailscale IP (100.x.x.x) stays stable
  • Funnel URL stays stable
  • Domain redirects stay stable
  • Tunnels auto-reconnect in ~10-30 seconds

Artifacts Folder

Location: .artifacts/

This folder stores important information artifacts that should be preserved for future reference. Claude should proactively save artifacts here when relevant information is generated during sessions.

Naming Convention

Files must use datetime-prefixed names:

YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_<description>.md

Examples:

  • 2026-02-01_13-45_coolify-api-token.md
  • 2026-02-01_14-30_n8n-mcp-setup.md
  • 2026-02-01_15-00_service-health-report.md

When to Save Artifacts

Always save artifacts for:

  • API tokens, keys, or credentials generated during sessions
  • Configuration changes made to services
  • Troubleshooting steps that resolved issues
  • Infrastructure changes or deployments
  • MCP server configurations and setup details
  • Database schema changes or migrations
  • Important command outputs that may be needed later
  • Service health reports or diagnostics

Publishing JSX/React Artifacts Online

Single-file React components (JSX) can be published as standalone web pages via the NUC's artifacts infrastructure.

How It Works

Public Internet → Tailscale Funnel (:443) → Traefik → artifacts-web (nginx) → /opt/artifacts/
  • Funnel URL: https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net/artifacts/<name>/
  • LAN URL: https://artifacts.nuc.lan/<name>/
  • Nginx container: artifacts-web (image: nginx:alpine, read-only mount of /opt/artifacts)
  • Traefik public route: Host(alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net) && PathPrefix(/artifacts) → strips /artifactsartifacts-web:80
  • Config file: /traefik/dynamic/nuc-services-public.yaml (inside coolify-proxy container)

Quick Publish Steps

# 1. Build self-contained HTML from JSX
#    - Replace `import { useState, ... } from "react"` with `const { useState, ... } = React;`
#    - Remove `export default ComponentName;`
#    - Wrap in HTML with React 18 CDN + Babel standalone
#    - Add `ReactDOM.createRoot(root).render(<Component />)` at the end

# 2. Copy to NUC artifacts directory
ssh nuc "echo '7vXHpSTD.' | sudo -S mkdir -p /opt/artifacts/<name>"
scp /tmp/build/index.html nuc:~/tmp-artifact.html
ssh nuc "echo '7vXHpSTD.' | sudo -S mv ~/tmp-artifact.html /opt/artifacts/<name>/index.html"
ssh nuc "echo '7vXHpSTD.' | sudo -S chmod 644 /opt/artifacts/<name>/index.html"

# 3. Done! No server restart needed — nginx serves it immediately.

Container Recreation

ssh nuc "docker stop palmr && docker rm palmr && docker run -d \
  --name palmr \
  --network coolify \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3334:5487 \
  -v 5273abd0c536116056362397cdb568d2eab066b8289412dd91ecce58c174df68:/app/server \
  -v palmr_uploads:/app/uploads \
  -e STORAGE_URL=https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net:10000 \
  kyantech/palmr:latest"

Port Forwarder (MinIO)

MinIO runs inside the Palmr container on port 9379 (not exposed). A socat forwarder bridges it:

ssh nuc "docker run -d --name port-fwd-palmr-minio --network coolify -p 9379:9379 \
  alpine/socat tcp-listen:9379,fork,reuseaddr tcp-connect:palmr:9379"

Database Access

Palmr uses SQLite at /app/server/prisma/palmr.db. Passwords are bcrypt hashed.

# Copy DB locally for queries
ssh nuc "docker cp palmr:/app/server/prisma/palmr.db /tmp/palmr.db"
scp nuc:/tmp/palmr.db /tmp/palmr.db
sqlite3 /tmp/palmr.db "SELECT username, email, isAdmin FROM users;"

# Generate bcrypt hash inside container
ssh nuc "docker exec palmr sh -c 'cd /app/palmr-app && node -e \"const bcrypt = require(\\\"bcryptjs\\\"); console.log(bcrypt.hashSync(\\\"PASSWORD\\\", 10));\"'"

Troubleshooting

  1. Upload stuck on loader: Check docker logs palmr for STORAGE_URL errors. MinIO must be reachable from the client browser via the presigned URL.

  2. Blank page externally: Verify Funnel is on a supported port (443/8443/10000) and target uses 127.0.0.1 not localhost.

  3. JWT token invalid after restart: Expected — users must log in again after container recreation (JWT secret regenerated).

  4. Config limits: File size and storage limits are in app_configs table (values in bytes). Update via SQLite, copy DB back, restart.

MinIO Object Storage (Mac ↔ NUC File Transfer)

Architecture

MinIO runs on the NUC as S3-compatible object storage. Used for Mac backups, file transfers, and app storage.

Mac (mc CLI) → Tailscale → 100.113.153.45:9000 → port-fwd (socat) → minio-xwowg8kswwsocssgocs8ss40:9000

Access

Property Value
API URL http://100.113.153.45:9000
Console URL http://100.113.153.45:9001
Access Key minioadmin
Secret Key minioadmin
Port Forwarder minio-port-fwd (socat, maps host :9000/:9001 → container)
Main Container minio-xwowg8kswwsocssgocs8ss40

Buckets

Bucket Purpose
mac-backups Database dumps, tar archives, important backups
mac-downloads Files moved from ~/Downloads for archival
mac-projects Archived project files
nuc-portal-previews NUC Portal screenshot previews
whyrating WhyRating app assets

Mac CLI (mc)

Installed at /opt/homebrew/bin/mc, alias nuc pre-configured.

# List buckets
mc ls nuc/

# Upload file
mc cp file.tar nuc/mac-backups/

# Download file
mc cp nuc/mac-backups/file.tar ./

# Sync a directory
mc mirror ~/path/to/dir nuc/mac-projects/dirname/

# Check bucket size
mc du nuc/mac-backups

nuc-sync CLI Tool

Wrapper script at ~/.local/bin/nuc-sync for daily operations:

nuc-sync status                    # Check NUC + MinIO connectivity
nuc-sync upload file.tar           # Upload to mac-backups bucket
nuc-sync upload file.sql mac-downloads  # Upload to specific bucket
nuc-sync push ~/Desktop/project    # rsync to NUC (excludes node_modules, .next, .git)
nuc-sync pull /opt/backups/mac/x . # rsync from NUC
nuc-sync list                      # List all buckets
nuc-sync list mac-backups          # List bucket contents

MinIO MCP Server

MCP server for Claude Code integration: minio-nuc

  • Source: ~/mcp-servers/minio-mcp-server/
  • GitHub: https://github.com/Rafitis/minio-mcp-server
  • Scope: user (available in all projects)
  • Tools: list buckets, upload/download objects, create/delete buckets

rsync Backup Directory

# NUC backup path (owned by alezmad)
/opt/backups/mac/

Troubleshooting

  1. MinIO unreachable (connection refused): The port forwarder may be down:

    ssh nuc "docker start minio-port-fwd"
    
  2. mc alias not working: Reconfigure:

    /opt/homebrew/bin/mc alias set nuc http://100.113.153.45:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
    
  3. Console not loading: Port 9001 needs the port-fwd container running. Check with:

    ssh nuc "docker ps | grep minio-port-fwd"
    

Next Steps / Migration Candidates

Priority 1: Safe to Delete (Duplicates/Old Versions)

Image Size Action Reason
google-reviews-scraper-pro-api (old) 3.62GB DELETE Old version, newer exists
claudefarm-claudefarm 3.87GB DELETE Replaced by claudefarm-browser + claudefarm-api
postgres:16 657MB DELETE Using 16-alpine (389MB) instead
prom/mysqld-exporter:v0.14.0 28MB DELETE 3 years old, likely unused

Savings: ~8.2GB

Priority 2: Migrate to NUC (High Value)

Image Size Priority Notes
nocodb/nocodb 1.24GB HIGH Airtable alternative - great for self-hosted data
grafana/grafana 932MB HIGH Pairs with existing Uptime Kuma for monitoring
prom/prometheus 479MB HIGH Metrics backend for Grafana
timescale/timescaledb 1.45GB HIGH Time-series data, useful for IoT/metrics

Priority 3: Migrate to NUC (Medium Value)

Image Size Priority Notes
mysql:8 1.07GB 🔶 MEDIUM Only if you have MySQL-specific apps
minio/minio + minio/mc 340MB 🔶 SKIP Already running on NUC via Coolify

Priority 4: MCP Tools - Evaluate Usage

Image Size Recommendation Notes
mcp/n8n 675MB 🔶 SKIP n8n already on NUC; this is just MCP wrapper
mcp/youtube-transcript 321MB KEEP LOCAL Useful for AI workflows
mcp/context7 423MB KEEP LOCAL Documentation lookup, AI essential
mcp/fetch ? KEEP LOCAL Web fetching for AI

Priority 5: Review Before Deleting

Image Size Action Why Review
mysql:8 1.07GB ⚠️ CHECK May have local databases; verify before delete
timescale/timescaledb 1.45GB ⚠️ CHECK May have local time-series data
# 1. NocoDB (Airtable alternative)
mcp__coolify__service(action="create", type="nocodb", name="NocoDB",
  server_uuid="qk84w0goo4w48g4ggsoo0oss", project_uuid="a8484ggc88c40w4g4k004ow0",
  environment_name="production", instant_deploy=True)

# 2. Prometheus + Grafana stack
mcp__coolify__service(action="create", type="grafana", ...)
mcp__coolify__service(action="create", type="prometheus", ...)

Migration Checklist

  • Delete old/duplicate images locally
  • Deploy NocoDB to NUC
  • Deploy Grafana + Prometheus monitoring stack
  • Consider TimescaleDB if IoT/metrics needed
  • Verify MySQL data before deleting
  • Add CloudBeaver to Uptime Kuma monitoring
  • Configure OpenWrt MCP MQTT broker (optional)

OpenClaw (AI Assistant Gateway)

Self-hosted AI assistant gateway running on the NUC via Docker Compose. Connects to messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.) and routes messages through Claude.

Access

Property Value
Control UI (HTTPS) https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net:8443
Gateway WS ws://192.168.1.3:18789
Gateway Token 3547c3f2b7b4a33eb077cf804bcca446057f81ba1578b2045dbb3aa4e04346ee
Model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
Repo on NUC ~/openclaw/
Config ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Version 2026.2.10

⚠️ HTTPS Required: The Control UI requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost). Access via Tailscale Serve on port 8443.

Tailscale Serve (HTTPS access)

The gateway is exposed via Tailscale Serve (not Funnel - tailnet only, not public):

# Start HTTPS proxy (requires sudo, must run from NUC terminal)
ssh nuc
sudo tailscale serve --bg --https=8443 http://localhost:18789
# Password: 7vXHpSTD

⚠️ The --bg flag makes it persistent. Without it, Ctrl+C stops the proxy.

Docker Compose Management

# Start gateway
ssh nuc "cd ~/openclaw && docker compose up -d openclaw-gateway"

# Restart gateway
ssh nuc "cd ~/openclaw && docker compose restart openclaw-gateway"

# View logs
ssh nuc "docker logs openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 2>&1 | tail -30"

# Run CLI commands (use docker exec for commands that need gateway connection)
ssh nuc "docker exec openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 node dist/index.js <command> --token 3547c3f2b7b4a33eb077cf804bcca446057f81ba1578b2045dbb3aa4e04346ee --url ws://127.0.0.1:18789"

# Run CLI commands that don't need gateway (use docker compose run)
ssh nuc "cd ~/openclaw && script -qc 'docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli <command>' /dev/null"

Device Pairing

When the Control UI shows "pairing required", approve the pending device:

# List pending devices
ssh nuc "docker exec openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 node dist/index.js devices list --token 3547c3f2b7b4a33eb077cf804bcca446057f81ba1578b2045dbb3aa4e04346ee --url ws://127.0.0.1:18789"

# Approve a device (use requestId from the list)
ssh nuc "docker exec openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 node dist/index.js devices approve <requestId> --token 3547c3f2b7b4a33eb077cf804bcca446057f81ba1578b2045dbb3aa4e04346ee --url ws://127.0.0.1:18789"

Dashboard URL with embedded token (auto-authenticates):

https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net:8443/#token=3547c3f2b7b4a33eb077cf804bcca446057f81ba1578b2045dbb3aa4e04346ee

Channel Plugins

Channels are plugins that must be enabled before use. 35 available, 4 loaded by default.

# List all plugins
ssh nuc "script -qc 'cd ~/openclaw && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli plugins list' /dev/null"

# Enable a channel plugin
ssh nuc "script -qc 'cd ~/openclaw && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli plugins enable <plugin-id>' /dev/null"

# Then restart gateway
ssh nuc "cd ~/openclaw && docker compose restart openclaw-gateway"

Currently enabled channels: WhatsApp (linked and active)

Available channel plugins:

Plugin ID Channel
whatsapp WhatsApp
telegram Telegram
discord Discord
slack Slack
signal Signal
matrix Matrix
msteams Microsoft Teams
googlechat Google Chat
imessage iMessage
irc IRC

Setting Up Channels That Require QR Codes (WhatsApp, etc.)

⚠️ The CLI needs a TTY for QR display. Cannot run directly via ssh nuc "command". Use script to fake a TTY and capture output:

# Step 1: Enable the plugin
ssh nuc "script -qc 'cd ~/openclaw && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli plugins enable whatsapp' /dev/null"

# Step 2: Restart gateway
ssh nuc "cd ~/openclaw && docker compose restart openclaw-gateway"

# Step 3: Run login with TTY capture (captures QR to file)
ssh nuc "script -q /tmp/openclaw-qr.txt -c 'cd ~/openclaw && docker compose run --rm openclaw-cli channels login'"

# Step 4: If QR needs to be viewed remotely, copy and render as image
scp nuc:/tmp/openclaw-qr.txt /tmp/
# Then use Python + Pillow to convert Unicode block chars to PNG

QR to PNG conversion (run locally on Mac):

from PIL import Image
import re

with open("/tmp/openclaw-qr.txt", "rb") as f:
    content = f.read().decode("utf-8", errors="replace")

lines = content.split("\n")
qr_lines = []
for l in lines:
    clean = re.sub(r"\x1b\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z]", "", l).replace(chr(0), "")
    if any(c in clean for c in ["\u2584", "\u2588", "\u2580"]):
        qr_lines.append(clean)

scale = 10
width = max(len(l) for l in qr_lines)
height = len(qr_lines) * 2
img = Image.new("RGB", (width * scale, height * scale), "white")

for row_idx, line in enumerate(qr_lines):
    for col_idx, ch in enumerate(line):
        top_black = ch in ["\u2588", "\u2580"]
        bot_black = ch in ["\u2588", "\u2584"]
        for dy in range(scale):
            for dx in range(scale):
                if top_black:
                    img.putpixel((col_idx*scale+dx, row_idx*2*scale+dy), (0,0,0))
                if bot_black:
                    img.putpixel((col_idx*scale+dx, (row_idx*2+1)*scale+dy), (0,0,0))

img.save("/tmp/qr.png")

Alternative: User scans directly — If the user has SSH terminal access, they can run channels login interactively and scan the QR from their terminal.

Anthropic Authentication

Uses a Claude Code OAuth token (valid 1 year). Set in both config and docker-compose env:

Config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-ant-oat01-..."
  }
}

Docker env (~/openclaw/.env):

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-oat01-...

To regenerate token (run on Mac where claude CLI is installed):

claude setup-token
# Copy the output token and update both config + .env on NUC

Config Schema (current)

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"
      }
    }
  },
  "gateway": {
    "port": 18789,
    "mode": "local",
    "bind": "lan",
    "auth": {
      "mode": "token"
    }
  }
}

⚠️ Config gotchas:

  • agent.model is legacy — use agents.defaults.model.primary instead
  • Run docker exec openclaw-openclaw-gateway-1 node dist/index.js doctor --fix to migrate legacy keys
  • The gateway.pairing key does NOT exist — device pairing is managed via the devices CLI, not config

Troubleshooting

  1. "control ui requires HTTPS or localhost": Access via https://alezmad-nuc.tail58f5ad.ts.net:8443 (Tailscale Serve), NOT http://192.168.1.3:18789

  2. "pairing required": Approve the device via devices approve command (see Device Pairing section above)

  3. "unauthorized: gateway token missing": Use the dashboard URL with #token=... hash to auto-authenticate

  4. CLI commands fail with "gateway closed": Use docker exec into the running gateway container instead of docker compose run (the CLI container can't reach the gateway on its internal Docker IP)

  5. Config "invalid" after edit: Run doctor --fix inside the gateway container to clean up

  6. Channel "unsupported": Enable the plugin first with plugins enable <id>, then restart gateway

  7. CLAUDE_AI_SESSION_KEY warnings: Harmless — these are for Claude web session auth which isn't used when using API key
