[Core API Development](docs/services/core-api.md#development) ## Service Ports Reference | Service | Port | Description | |---------|------|-------------| | **Portainer** | 8080 | Container management UI | | **Nginx Proxy Manager** | 8000 | Reverse proxy admin | | **Open WebUI** | 8081 | LLM chat interface | | **Nextcloud** | 8082 | Cloud storage | | **Core API** | 8083 | Infrastructure management API | | **Organizr** | 8084 | Unified dashboard | | **Headscale** | 8085 | VPN control server | | **Jellyfin** | 8096 | Media streaming | | **Uptime Kuma** | 3001 | Service monitoring | | **Gitea** | 3002 | Git repository hosting | | **Gitea SSH** | 2222 | Git SSH access | | **PostgreSQL Shared** | 5432 | Shared database (internal) | | **Redis Shared** | 6379 | Shared cache (internal) | | **Qdrant** | 6333, 6334 | Vector database | | **Ollama** | 11434 | ML model API | | **Netdata** | 19999 | System monitoring | See [Stacks Reference](docs/reference/stacks.md#port-allocation) for complete port allocation. ## GPU Services Two services leverage the RTX 2080 Ti: 1. **Ollama** - ML model inference (3B-13B parameter models) 2. **Jellyfin** - Hardware video transcoding (NVENC) See [GPU Docker Configuration](docs/guides/gpu-docker-config.md) for setup. ## Storage Strategy **SSD (Performance):** `/home/jpmschweitzer/docker-data/` - Docker configs, databases, cache, container images **HDD (Capacity):** `/mnt/media/` - Media files, user data, backups See [Stacks Reference](docs/reference/stacks.md#storage-convention) for details. ## Current Phase **Phase 2** of AI Orchestrator Enhancement (Memory Systems) 🔄 In Progress See [STATUS.md](STATUS.md) for detailed progress tracking. ## Contributing This is a personal infrastructure project. For AI agents: - **Read [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) first** - Mandatory guidelines - Follow conventional commit format - Test GPU access before deploying GPU services - Update STATUS.md when completing phases ## Resources - [Portainer Documentation](https://docs.portainer.io/) - [Ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) - [Headscale](https://headscale.net/) - [Jellyfin](https://jellyfin.org/docs/) - [Nextcloud](https://docs.nextcloud.com/) --- **Version:** 0.7.1 **Last Updated:** 2025-11-20 **System:** tower-of-joy
