consolidate custom code into single service 3. **Version Control Setup:** Initialize portainer-core repository in Gitea for proper version control, branching, and change tracking 4. **Disaster Recovery Strategy:** Design offsite backup solution with restore/bootstrap scripts for full tower-of-joy recreation on new hardware **Post-Phase 6 Integrations:** - Nextcloud integration (file search, calendar management) - ComfyUI integration (image generation) - Home Assistant integration (smart home control) - Custom mobile apps (iOS/Android) ## Current Blockers None - All core services deployed and operational. ## Next Steps ### Priority 1: Core-API Refactoring & Infrastructure Management **Why Now:** Clean up technical debt before adding more features. Build proper infrastructure management API to eliminate ad-hoc scripts and enable programmatic service deployment. **Immediate Actions:** 1. **Refactor Core-API structure** - Create controller-based architecture for maintainability 2. **Build Infrastructure Management API** - Automate Portainer/NPM/Kuma operations 3. **Replace shell scripts** - Migrate `/stacks/*.sh` to proper API endpoints with CLI wrappers **Benefits:** - Cleaner codebase for future AI Orchestrator development - Automated service deployment and monitoring setup - Programmatic infrastructure management (no more manual NPM/Kuma configuration) - Foundation for self-managing homelab ### Priority 2: AI Orchestrator Phase 2 (Memory Systems) - **Implement 3-tier memory architecture:** ConversationBufferMemory (Tier 1), ConversationSummaryMemory (Tier 2), Qdrant VectorStore (Tier 3) - **Create Qdrant collections:** conversation_memory, documents, user_facts - **Build memory consolidation pipeline:** Automatic summarization and vector embedding - **Add conversation history endpoints:** Query and manage conversation memory - **Test integration with Open WebUI:** Verify memory persistence and recall ### Optional: Enhanced Capabilities - **Connect Devices to Headscale:** Set up additional devices on mesh VPN for remote access - **Jellyfin Media Library:** Populate media libraries with content - **Nextcloud Desktop Clients:** Install sync clients on workstations - **External Monitoring:** Set up Uptime Kuma notifications (email, Discord, etc.) - **Advanced Automation:** Expand maintenance container with additional scheduled tasks ## Key Metrics | Metric | Target | Current | Status | |--------|--------|---------|--------| | **Containers Running** | 15+ | 19 | ๐ŸŸข All Services Operational | | **GPU Accessible** | Yes | Yes | ๐ŸŸข Working | | **Storage Mounted** | 4.2TB | 3.6TB (58% used) | ๐ŸŸข Mounted | | **Services Accessible** | All | 19/19 | ๐ŸŸข Complete | | **Remote Access** | Working | Ready | ๐ŸŸข Headscale + NPM | | **Firewall Active** | Yes | Yes | ๐ŸŸข UFW Configured | | **Backups Configured** | Yes | Yes | ๐ŸŸข Maintenance Container | | **Cloud Storage** | Yes | Yes | ๐ŸŸข Nextcloud Deployed | | **File Sharing** | Yes | Yes | ๐ŸŸข Samba Deployed | | **AI Orchestrator** | Phase 6 | Phase 1 โœ… | ๐ŸŸก In Progress (Phase 2 next) | ## Version History -
