# KohakuHub Deployment Summary

## Description

Deployed KohakuHub (a self-hosted HuggingFace-compatible model hub) on the existing Docker infrastructure at `172.0.0.29`, with NGINX reverse proxy at `172.0.0.30` and CoreDNS at `172.0.0.29`.

**Stack deployed:**

| Service              | Image                     | Port(s)                  | Purpose                |
|----------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------|
| hub-ui               | nginx:alpine              | 28080:80                 | Vue.js frontend SPA    |
| hub-api              | built from source         | 127.0.0.1:48888:48888    | Python/FastAPI backend |
| minio                | quay.io/minio/minio       | 29001:9000, 29000:29000  | S3-compatible storage  |
| lakefs               | built from ./docker/lakefs| 127.0.0.1:28000:28000    | Git-style versioning   |
| kohakuhub-postgres   | postgres:15               | 127.0.0.1:25432:5432     | Metadata database      |

**FQDNs:**
- `ai-hub.tftsr.com` → NGINX → `172.0.0.29:28080` (web UI + API proxy)
- `ai-hub-files.tftsr.com` → NGINX → `172.0.0.29:29001` (MinIO S3 file access)

All data stored locally under `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/`.

---

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] All 5 containers start and remain healthy
- [x] `https://ai-hub.tftsr.com` serves the KohakuHub Vue.js SPA
- [x] `https://ai-hub-files.tftsr.com` proxies to MinIO S3 API
- [x] DNS resolves both FQDNs to `172.0.0.30` (NGINX proxy)
- [x] hub-api connects to postgres and runs migrations on startup
- [x] MinIO `hub-storage` bucket is created automatically
- [x] LakeFS initializes with S3 blockstore backend
- [x] No port conflicts with existing stack services
- [x] Postgres container uses unique name (`kohakuhub-postgres`) to avoid conflict with `gogs_postgres_db`
- [x] API and LakeFS ports bound to `127.0.0.1` only (not externally exposed)

## Work Implemented

### Phase 1 — Docker Host (`172.0.0.29`)

1. **Downloaded KohakuHub source** via GitHub archive tarball (git not installed on host) to `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/`
2. **Generated secrets** using `openssl rand -hex 32/16` for SESSION_SECRET, ADMIN_TOKEN, DB_KEY, LAKEFS_KEY, DB_PASS
3. **Created `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/.env`** with `UID=1000` / `GID=1000` for LakeFS container user mapping
4. **Created `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/docker-compose.yml`** with production configuration:
   - Absolute volume paths under `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/`
   - Secrets substituted in-place
   - Postgres container renamed to `kohakuhub-postgres`
   - API/LakeFS/Postgres bound to `127.0.0.1` only
5. **Built Vue.js frontends** using `docker run node:22-alpine` (Node.js not installed on host):
   - `src/kohaku-hub-ui/dist/` — main SPA
   - `src/kohaku-hub-admin/dist/` — admin portal
6. **Started stack** with `docker compose up -d --build`; hub-api recovered from initial postgres race condition on its own
7. **Verified** all containers `Up`, API docs at `:48888/docs` returning HTTP 200, `hub-storage` bucket auto-created

### Phase 2 — NGINX Proxy (`172.0.0.30`)

1. **Created `/etc/nginx/conf.d/ai-hub.conf`** — proxies `ai-hub.tftsr.com` → `172.0.0.29:28080` with `client_max_body_size 100G`, 3600s timeouts, LetsEncrypt SSL
2. **Created `/etc/nginx/conf.d/ai-hub-files.conf`** — proxies `ai-hub-files.tftsr.com` → `172.0.0.29:29001` with same settings
3. **Resolved write issue**: initial writes via `sudo tee` with piped password produced empty files (heredoc stdin conflict); corrected by writing to `/tmp` then `sudo cp`
4. **Validated and reloaded** NGINX: `nginx -t` passes (pre-existing `ssl_stapling` warnings are environment-wide, unrelated to these configs)

### Phase 3 — CoreDNS (`172.0.0.29`)

1. **Updated `/docker_mounts/coredns/tftsr.com.db`**:
   - SOA serial: `1718910701` → `2026040501`
   - Appended: `ai-hub.tftsr.com. 3600 IN A 172.0.0.30`
   - Appended: `ai-hub-files.tftsr.com. 3600 IN A 172.0.0.30`
2. **Reloaded CoreDNS** via `docker kill --signal=SIGHUP coredns`

## Testing Needed

### Functional

- [ ] **Browser test**: Navigate to `https://ai-hub.tftsr.com` and verify login page, registration, and model browsing work
- [ ] **Admin portal**: Navigate to `https://ai-hub.tftsr.com/admin` and verify admin dashboard is accessible with the ADMIN_TOKEN
- [ ] **Model upload**: Upload a test model file and verify it lands in MinIO under `hub-storage`
- [ ] **Git clone**: Clone a model repo via `git clone https://ai-hub.tftsr.com/<user>/<repo>.git` and verify Git LFS works
- [ ] **File download**: Verify `https://ai-hub-files.tftsr.com` properly serves file download redirects

### Infrastructure

- [ ] **Restart persistence**: `docker compose down && docker compose up -d` on 172.0.0.29 — verify all services restart cleanly and data persists
- [ ] **LakeFS credentials**: Check `/docker_mounts/kohakuhub/hub-meta/hub-api/credentials.env` for generated LakeFS credentials
- [ ] **Admin token recovery**: Run `docker logs hub-api | grep -i admin` to retrieve the admin token if needed
- [ ] **MinIO console**: Verify MinIO console accessible at `http://172.0.0.29:29000` (internal only)
- [ ] **Postgres connectivity**: `docker exec kohakuhub-postgres psql -U kohakuhub -c "\dt"` to confirm schema migration ran

### Notes

- Frontend builds used temporary `node:22-alpine` Docker containers since Node.js is not installed on `172.0.0.29`. If redeployment is needed, re-run the build steps or install Node.js on the host.
- The `ssl_stapling` warnings in NGINX are pre-existing across all vhosts on `172.0.0.30` and do not affect functionality.
- MinIO credentials (`minioadmin`/`minioadmin`) are defaults. Consider rotating via the MinIO console for production hardening.
