🔄 In Progress

Priority 1: Core-API Refactoring & Infrastructure Management:

    • Create /controllers directory structure
    • Create /clients directory structure
    • Create base.py controller base class
    • Add infrastructure settings to config.py (Portainer, NPM, Kuma URLs/credentials)
    • Separate AI Orchestrator logic into ai_controller.py
    • Extract webscraper to tools_controller.py
    • Create health_controller.py for monitoring endpoints
    • Update imports and routing in main.py

    • Portainer Integration: HTTP client with access token authentication
      • get_endpoints() - List Docker environments
      • get_stacks() - List all stacks
      • get_stack(id) - Get stack details
      • create_stack() - Deploy from compose YAML
      • update_stack() - Update existing stack
      • delete_stack() - Remove stack

      • GET /infrastructure/services/{name} - Get service details
      • GET /infrastructure/ports - List allocated ports (skeleton)
      • GET /infrastructure/domains - List configured domains
    • Uptime Kuma Integration: WebSocket client (deferred - complex Socket.IO)
    • Write Endpoints: Deploy/update/delete operations
    • Replace ad-hoc shell scripts in /stacks with API endpoints
    • Add CLI wrapper for common operations
    • Test endpoints with live infrastructure

Priority 2: AI Orchestrator Enhancement (Phase 2 - Memory Systems):

  • Implement Tier 1: ConversationBufferMemory (in-memory, last 10 turns)
  • Implement Tier 2: ConversationSummaryMemory (SQLite summaries)
  • Integrate Tier 3: VectorStoreRetrieverMemory (Qdrant semantic search)
  • Create Qdrant collections (conversation_memory, documents, user_facts)
  • Implement memory consolidation service
  • Add conversation history API endpoints
  • Test memory persistence across container restarts

📋 Planned (After Current Work)

AI Orchestrator Phases 3-6:

  • Phase 3: Multi-agent workflows with LangGraph (Router, Chat, Research, Code agents)

  • Phase 5: RAG & advanced memory (hybrid retrieval, document upload)
  • Phase 6: Production hardening (metrics, monitoring, optimization)

🔮 Backlog (Future Enhancements)

Infrastructure Consolidation & Technical Debt:

  1. Centralized Database Container: Consolidate SQLite databases from multiple services (Uptime Kuma, Organizr, etc.) into a single PostgreSQL/MySQL container for easier management and backups
  2. Maintenance Container Consolidation: Migrate maintenance container cron jobs into Core API endpoints with scheduled triggers - 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
