# SDP — manual deploy

A copy-pasteable runbook. The principle: anything that runs on a VM is done from inside that VM (just `ssh` in and run it). Anything that pushes files from your laptop to a VM uses `scp` and prompts for the password.

No `deploy.sh` is involved. No `sshpass`. You type your passwords.

## 0. Pull the repo on your laptop

```bash
cd ~/wherever/bri-sandbox-development-platform
git pull origin main
```

Confirm the artifacts are present:

```bash
ls bin/control-plane bin/agent-micro bin/agent-gateway dashboard/out/index.html systemd/sdp-*.service
```

## 1. Kill old SDP processes on each VM (skip on a fresh VM)

On 92:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
pkill -f 'bin/agent-micro' 2>/dev/null; echo done
exit
```

On 186:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
pkill -f 'bin/control-plane' 2>/dev/null
pkill -f 'bin/agent-gateway' 2>/dev/null
echo done
exit
```

## 2. Sanity-check nginx and docker on 186

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl is-active docker
ls -la ~/SDP/dashboard/index.html 2>/dev/null || echo 'dashboard will be created in step 6'
exit
```

- `nginx -t` says `syntax is ok` → good.
- `docker` is `active` → good.
- Dashboard missing is fine; step 6 pushes it.

## 3. Configure nginx on 186 (only on first deploy, or after editing)

Splice the four `location` blocks from `nginx/sandbox.conf` into `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default` inside the existing `server { }`. Read the file from your laptop first:

```bash
cat nginx/sandbox.conf
```

On 186:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
# paste the four blocks somewhere inside the server { }
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
exit
```

## 4. Push the binaries and dashboard to the VMs

From your laptop. `scp` will prompt for the password.

**To 92 (micro):**

```bash
scp bin/agent-micro administrator@172.18.136.92:~/SDP/bin/agent-micro
```

**To 186 (gateway):**

```bash
scp bin/control-plane bin/agent-gateway administrator@172.18.139.186:~/SDP/bin/
scp -r dashboard/out/. administrator@172.18.139.186:~/SDP/dashboard/
```

**Make binaries executable** (on each VM):

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92 "chmod +x ~/SDP/bin/agent-micro"
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186 "chmod +x ~/SDP/bin/control-plane ~/SDP/bin/agent-gateway"
```

**Pre-create the control plane's data dir on 186** (SQLite + log files live here):

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186 "mkdir -p ~/SDP/data && ls -ld ~/SDP/data"
```

Should print `drwxr-xr-x ... administrator administrator ... /home/administrator/SDP/data`. The control plane binary creates it on first run too, but doing it now means the systemd unit's `ReadWritePaths` check has somewhere to point at.

## 5. Push the systemd unit files

From your laptop. `scp` will prompt for the password.

```bash
scp systemd/sdp-agent-micro.service administrator@172.18.136.92:/tmp/sdp-agent-micro.service
scp systemd/sdp-control-plane.service systemd/sdp-agent-gateway.service administrator@172.18.139.186:/tmp/
```

## 6. Install the unit files and start the services

### 8a. 92 (micro agent only)

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
sudo install -m 644 -o root -g root /tmp/sdp-agent-micro.service /etc/systemd/system/sdp-agent-micro.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sdp-agent-micro.service
sudo systemctl restart sdp-agent-micro.service
sudo systemctl --no-pager status sdp-agent-micro.service | head -10
sudo journalctl -u sdp-agent-micro.service -n 10 --no-pager
exit
```

Status should be `active (running)`. Journal should show a clean startup, then either a `dial: ws://...` reconnect loop (waiting for the control plane) or `agent-micro connected as micro`.

### 8b. 186 (control plane FIRST, then gateway agent)

```bash
sudo install -m 644 -o root -g root /tmp/sdp-control-plane.service /etc/systemd/system/sdp-control-plane.service
sudo mkdir -p /home/administrator/SDP/data
sudo chown administrator:administrator /home/administrator/SDP/data
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sdp-control-plane.service
sudo systemctl restart sdp-control-plane.service
sudo systemctl --no-pager status sdp-control-plane.service | head -10
sudo journalctl -u sdp-control-plane.service -n 10 --no-pager
```

The control plane must be up before the gateway agent starts (or the agent just retries). Wait for `active (running)`, then continue:

```bash
sudo install -m 644 -o root -g root /tmp/sdp-agent-gateway.service /etc/systemd/system/sdp-agent-gateway.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sdp-agent-gateway.service
sudo systemctl restart sdp-agent-gateway.service
sudo systemctl --no-pager status sdp-agent-gateway.service | head -10
sudo journalctl -u sdp-agent-gateway.service -n 10 --no-pager
exit
```

The journal should show `agent-gateway connected as gateway` after a beat.

## 7. Browser smoke test (from your laptop)

Visit: `http://172.18.139.186/sandbox/credit-card/`

- HTML renders (CSS + JS load) → nginx `try_files` is right.
- Login form submits → `/sandbox/credit-card/api/login` proxies to `:3452`.
- Login with any Bitbucket creds returns 200 → the gateway agent ran `git ls-remote` successfully.
- After login, dashboard renders. Click **Sandboxes** → empty list (SQLite is fresh).

## 8. Following logs in real time

On 92 (micro agent):

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
sudo journalctl -u sdp-agent-micro.service -f
# Ctrl-C to exit
exit
```

On 186 (control plane + gateway agent):

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
sudo journalctl -u sdp-control-plane.service -u sdp-agent-gateway.service -f
# Ctrl-C to exit
exit
```

## Common one-time fixes (apply, then re-run from step 6)

### `${SDP_CP_URL}` doesn't expand in the unit's ExecStart

Symptom: agent logs `flag: invalid value "${SDP_CP_URL}" for -cp`.

Fix: hardcode the URL in the unit. On your laptop, edit `systemd/sdp-agent-micro.service`:

```ini
ExecStart=/home/administrator/SDP/bin/agent-micro -node micro -cp ws://172.18.139.186:3452/ws/agent
```

(Remove the `Environment=` / `EnvironmentFile=` / `${SDP_CP_URL}` lines.) Do the same for `systemd/sdp-agent-gateway.service` (URL is `ws://127.0.0.1:3452/ws/agent`). Re-do steps 7 and 8.

### Login returns "git ls-remote rejected"

Either:
- The gateway agent isn't connected (re-run step 6b and check the journal).
- Your Bitbucket creds are wrong.
- The api-gateway repo path on 186 is wrong. The agent looks at `/var/www/html/erangel-ocean` by default. On 186:

  ```bash
  ls -d /var/www/html/erangel-ocean
  ```

  If the repo is at a different path, edit `agent-gateway/cmd/agent-gateway/main.go`:

  ```go
  var repos = map[string]string{
      "api-gateway": "/your/actual/path",
  }
  ```

  Then `./scripts/build.sh`, re-do steps 6 and 8b.

### Service containers can't be created (alpine:3.20 or php:8.3-apache not loaded)

Symptom: a deploy event stream shows `DEPLOY FAILED` with `image not found`.

The runtime images must be pre-loaded on the host (the VMs have no internet). On 92:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
docker load -i /path/to/alpine-3.20.tar
exit
```

On 186:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
docker load -i /path/to/php-8.3-apache.tar
docker load -i /path/to/alpine-3.20.tar
exit
```

### Service fails with `status=226/NAMESPACE` and `Failed to set up mount namespacing: No such file or directory`

Your binary is fine; systemd's service-execution environment is broken. Diagnose by running the binary manually as `administrator`:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
./SDP/bin/control-plane -addr :3452 -data ./SDP/data
# Should print "control-plane listening on :3452 (data=./SDP/data)"
# Ctrl-C to exit
exit
```

If that works, the binary is fine. systemd's namespace setup is failing — common cause on this Ubuntu: `/run/systemd` is missing. Force it to be recreated:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl restart sdp-control-plane.service
sudo systemctl --no-pager status sdp-control-plane.service | head -10
exit
```

If still failing, the systemd manager itself is in a bad state. Reboot the VM (last resort; will interrupt any other work on it).

### Agent-micro on 92 gets `connection reset by peer` connecting to 186:3452

`connection reset by peer` is at the TCP layer. The most common cause is a **stale WebSocket connection from before 186's `daemon-reexec`** (in step 6b). The kernel briefly drops the listening socket during re-exec; any in-flight connection that tries to use it gets RST. The agent retries every 2s, but if it connected right before the reexec and has been hammering the broken fd, just restart it:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
sudo systemctl restart sdp-agent-micro.service
sudo journalctl -u sdp-agent-micro.service -n 20 --no-pager -f
# Look for: "agent-micro connected as micro"
# Ctrl-C to exit journalctl
exit
```

If the journal shows the agent connecting and immediately seeing RST again (a tight loop with no successful connect), the path itself is being blocked. Run these on 186 to find the cause:

1. **iptables on 186 has a REJECT rule for 3452:**

   ```bash
   ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
   sudo iptables -L INPUT -n | head -30
   exit
   ```

   If you see a REJECT rule for port 3452, drop or modify it. The control plane is on the same host, so there's no reason to filter loopback or local-subnet traffic to it.

2. **fail2ban has banned 92's IP:**

   ```bash
   ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
   sudo fail2ban-client status
   sudo fail2ban-client status sshd 2>/dev/null
   exit
   ```

   If 92's IP is in the banned list, add the SDP subnet to `ignoreip` in `/etc/fail2ban/jail.local` and `sudo fail2ban-client reload`.

3. **Verify the network path works at all** (rules out firewall entirely). From 92, a plain HTTP request to the control plane's port:

   ```bash
   ssh administrator@172.18.136.92
   curl -v http://172.18.139.186:3452/
   exit
   ```

   If you get *any* HTTP response (a Go HTTP 404 "page not found" is the expected answer for `GET /`) → the path is open and the problem is the WebSocket connection state. Restart the agent as above. If you get `Connection reset by peer` again → the path is being blocked, look at iptables/fail2ban.

4. **Verify the WS endpoint accepts an upgrade on 186 itself** (rules out the control plane binary):

   ```bash
   ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
   curl -i \
     -H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" \
     -H "Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==" \
     -H "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" \
     "http://127.0.0.1:3452/ws/agent?node=micro"
   exit
   ```

   Should return HTTP 101 Switching Protocols. If it does, the network is the issue. If it doesn't, the control plane binary has a problem (look at `sdp-control-plane.service` journal for a startup error).

### Still failing after the curl test? Check what's bound to port 3452

The control plane is one listener on port 3452 — if systemd or another process is also bound, the kernel can RST connections to the "wrong" socket. On 186:

```bash
ssh administrator@172.18.139.186
sudo ss -tlnp 'sport = :3452'
sudo lsof -i :3452
sudo systemctl list-sockets --no-legend 2>/dev/null | grep 3452
exit
```

You should see only one listener: `control-plane` PID, IPv6 `*:3452` (dual-stack). If you see anything else — another systemd socket, a leftover container, a proxy — kill it. Then `sudo systemctl restart sdp-control-plane.service` on 186 and try the agent again.
