# Central Data Hub - Environment Reference
|
|
|
|
## Development Locations
|
|
|
|
### Active Development: CT104 (Central LXC)
|
|
|
|
All development work happens on the Central LXC container:
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **Hostname** | `central` |
|
|
| **Tailscale IP** | `100.64.0.12` |
|
|
| **LAN IP** | `192.168.1.104` |
|
|
| **SSH access** | `zvx@central` or `zvx@100.64.0.12` |
|
|
| **Repository path** | `/opt/central` |
|
|
| **Python venv** | `/opt/central/.venv` |
|
|
| **Services** | `central-supervisor`, `central-archive` |
|
|
|
|
### Parked Clone: Cortex
|
|
|
|
The cortex VM at `/home/zvx/projects/central` contains a clone that is
|
|
**not actively used for development**. It may be retired in the future.
|
|
Do not make changes there.
|
|
|
|
### Local Workstation: matt-desktop
|
|
|
|
The Windows workstation (matt-desktop) has no Central repository clones.
|
|
The directory `C:\Users\mtthw\central_work\` is scratch space only and
|
|
should not be used for commits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Network and Service Bindings
|
|
|
|
### Bind Address
|
|
|
|
`central-gui` binds to `0.0.0.0` by design. Network gating is the
|
|
operator's responsibility (firewall, Tailscale, etc.), not the app's.
|
|
Do not switch to `127.0.0.1` or to a specific interface — operators
|
|
choose their bind via whatever network they want to expose the service on.
|
|
|
|
### NATS Listener Ports
|
|
|
|
The default `nats-server.conf` listens on more than just :4222:
|
|
|
|
| Port | Protocol | Used by Central? |
|
|
|------|----------|------------------|
|
|
| 4222 | NATS client | Yes (all) |
|
|
| 8080 | WebSocket | No (Phase 0 leftover) |
|
|
| 8222 | HTTP monitoring | No (manual ops only) |
|
|
| 1883 | MQTT | No (Phase 0 leftover) |
|
|
|
|
None of the unused ports cause active harm — they listen but no consumer
|
|
connects. Operators can remove them from `nats-server.conf` if they want
|
|
a tighter footprint. Documenting so future contributors don't grep for
|
|
"MQTT integration" and come up confused.
|
|
|
|
## Repository
|
|
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
|----------|-------|
|
|
| **Origin** | `git@github.com:zvx-echo6/central.git` |
|
|
| **Main branch** | `main` |
|
|
| **Default user** | `central` (on CT104) |
|
|
|
|
## Services
|
|
|
|
### central-supervisor
|
|
|
|
The main adapter scheduler and event publisher. Polls upstream APIs,
|
|
normalizes events, and publishes to NATS JetStream.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Status
|
|
systemctl status central-supervisor
|
|
|
|
# Logs
|
|
journalctl -u central-supervisor -f
|
|
|
|
# Restart (requires sudo)
|
|
sudo systemctl restart central-supervisor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### central-archive
|
|
|
|
Consumes events from NATS JetStream and archives to PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Status
|
|
systemctl status central-archive
|
|
|
|
# Logs
|
|
journalctl -u central-archive -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Database
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Environment variables are stored in `/etc/central/central.env` and loaded by
|
|
systemd services via `EnvironmentFile=`.
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Required | Description |
|
|
|----------|----------|-------------|
|
|
| `CENTRAL_CSRF_SECRET` | Yes (for GUI) | Secret key for CSRF token signing. Generate with `python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"` |
|
|
|
|
### Generating CSRF Secret
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the generated value to `/etc/central/central.env`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
CENTRAL_CSRF_SECRET=<generated-secret>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure the file has restricted permissions:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo chmod 640 /etc/central/central.env
|
|
sudo chown central:central /etc/central/central.env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL 16 with TimescaleDB runs on CT104:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Connect as central user
|
|
psql -h localhost -U central -d central
|
|
|
|
# Check adapter config
|
|
SELECT name, cadence_s, enabled FROM config.adapters;
|
|
|
|
# Check recent events
|
|
SELECT id, time, category FROM events ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 10;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSH Access from Windows
|
|
|
|
From matt-desktop, connect via Tailscale:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Direct connection
|
|
ssh zvx@100.64.0.12
|
|
|
|
# Using hostname (if Tailscale DNS configured)
|
|
ssh zvx@central
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: The `zvx` user requires password for sudo operations.
