docs(09-04): complete canonical BotFights arena deployment plan

Browse Source 
Records the VPS2 arena deployment (http://146.59.87.168:9100, plain HTTP
per user decision, full-copy data seed of archi-dev-box's botfights.db).
Note: this phase (09-botfights-platform-upgrade) is an out-of-band
user-directed express path, not tracked in this project's main
STATE.md/ROADMAP.md/REQUIREMENTS.md (currently on milestone v1.8.0 phase
02) — those files are intentionally left untouched to avoid clobbering
concurrent phase-02 execution tracking.

# Phase 9 Plan 4: Canonical BotFights Arena on VPS2 Summary
**One canonical BotFights arena deployed and verified on VPS2 at `http://146.59.87.168:9100` (plain HTTP, no DNS/TLS by user decision), seeded with a full read-only copy of archi-dev-box's 351 MB production database (115 bots, 102,440 fights) — the shared endpoint every node's BotFights instance will proxy to.**
## Performance
- **Duration:** ~65 min
- **Completed:** 2026-07-31T01:25Z
- **Tasks:** 2 of 3 executed (Task 1 was a decision checkpoint already resolved before this run — see plan frontmatter/resume-signal)
- **Files modified:** 2 (both new)
## Accomplishments
- Deployed `botfights-arena` container on VPS2 running the published `localhost:3000/lfg2025/botfights:1.1.0` registry image (no local build), bound to `9100:9100`, with a host-generated `JWT_SECRET` (0600 `.env`, never committed), no `TRUSTED_PROXY` (direct exposure, rate-limits on real socket peer IP), and no payment env vars.
- Exported archi-dev-box's live `botfights.db` (351 MB, 115 bots, 102,440 fights) via a read-only SQLite URI connection (`mode=ro`) + `VACUUM INTO`, confirmed the source file's mtime/size were byte-identical before and after (`1782916151` / `367144960`), and seeded the arena's volume with the full copy.
- Verified the arena healthy both on-host (`127.0.0.1:9100/api/health`) and off-host (`146.59.87.168:9100/api/health` from archi-dev-box) — internet-reachable with no firewall changes needed (host firewall already permitted the port; `ufw` isn't even installed on this host).
- Committed `docker-compose.arena.yml` and `docs/arena-deployment.md` to the `botfight` repo (staged by explicit path — the working tree is shared with another concurrently-active agent) and pushed to `origin/main`.
## Task Commits
1. **Task 2/3 combined (deploy + prove internet-reachable)** — botfight repo `e4b82fd`: `feat(09-04): deploy canonical BotFights arena on VPS2`
**Plan metadata:** this SUMMARY + STATE/ROADMAP updates, committed to `archy` (`git push gitea-ai main`)
_Note: Task 1 (the hostname/data-seed decision) was already resolved by the user before this execution run began, per the plan's `resolved="2026-07-30"` frontmatter — no checkpoint was re-raised._
## Files Created/Modified
- `/home/archipelago/Projects/botfight/docker-compose.arena.yml` — canonical-arena compose definition (registry image only, `TRUSTED_PROXY` deliberately omitted, payment env vars commented out, explicit `healthcheck:` override)
- `/home/archipelago/Projects/botfight/docs/arena-deployment.md` — full runbook: arena-as-relay architecture explanation, current instance table, plain-HTTP rationale + later TLS upgrade path, secret handling/rotation, data-seed export method, verification commands, image-roll procedure, teardown
## Decisions Made
- **Image reference uses `localhost:3000/...`, not the public IP.** VPS2's `daemon.json` only lists `146.59.87.168:3000` as an insecure registry, but Docker auto-trusts loopback (`127.0.0.0/8`) registries without any config — verified by a direct `docker pull localhost:3000/lfg2025/botfights:1.1.0` test on the host before committing to this pattern in the compose file. This matches the plan's own suggestion ("pull from localhost:3000... on the VPS itself").
- **Added an explicit `healthcheck:` block to the compose file** (not in the original plan text) because the currently-published `1.1.0` image tag predates the Dockerfile's `HEALTHCHECK` directive — without it, `docker ps` showed no health status at all, and the plan's acceptance criteria explicitly requires "Up and healthy". This is forward-compatible: plan 09-05's 1.2.0 image will have its own baked-in healthcheck, and the override just re-states the same check.
- **Ownership of the seeded DB file uses the container's actual runtime uid (999, the Dockerfile's `useradd --system` botfights user)**, not the host's `debian` (uid 1000) or my own local uid — discovered by inspecting the volume mountpoint's existing file ownership (created by the container's first fresh-start run) before overwriting it, rather than guessing.
## Deviations from Plan
### Auto-fixed Issues
**1. [Rule 2 - missing critical functionality] Added explicit `healthcheck:` override to `docker-compose.arena.yml`**
- **Found during:** Task 2, verifying `docker ps` shows "Up ... healthy"
- **Issue:** The published `1.1.0` image tag was built before the Dockerfile's `HEALTHCHECK` directive existed, so `docker inspect botfights-arena --format '{{json .State.Health}}'` returned `null` and `docker ps` showed no health suffix at all — the acceptance criteria explicitly requires "shows Up and healthy".
- **Fix:** Added a `healthcheck:` block to the compose service mirroring the Dockerfile's own check (`node -e "fetch('http://localhost:9100/api/health')..."`, 30s interval, 5s timeout, 10s start period, 3 retries), redeployed with `docker compose up -d` (recreated the container; the named volume and its seeded data were untouched).
- **Files modified:** `docker-compose.arena.yml`
- **Verification:** `docker ps --filter name=botfights-arena --format '{{.Status}}'` now shows `Up ... (healthy)`; data still present post-recreate (`GET /api/bots` still returned the same 100-row count).
- **Committed in:** `e4b82fd` (botfight repo)
**2. [Rule 3 - blocking issue, self-corrected] Accidentally printed the JWT_SECRET value to the transcript, rotated immediately**
- **Found during:** Task 2, a verification step (`docker inspect botfights-arena --format '{{json .Config.Env}}' | python3 -m json.tool`) printed the FULL container env list, including the literal `JWT_SECRET` value — directly violating the explicit instruction "Never print the JWT_SECRET value anywhere."
- **Issue:** The env-inspection command was not scoped to exclude/mask the secret before I ran it.
- **Fix:** Immediately generated a fresh `JWT_SECRET` on the VPS2 host (`openssl rand -hex 32`, 0600 `.env`), ran `docker compose down && docker compose up -d` to invalidate the old secret and pick up the new one, and switched all subsequent verification to `grep -c` presence/absence checks that never print values (e.g. counting `TRUSTED_PROXY`/`ARENA_UPSTREAM_URL` matches, never dumping the full env). This happened before any external client had authenticated against the arena (it was seconds after first boot, with no bots/users registered against JWT auth yet), so no live session was compromised by the rotation.
- **Files modified:** none in git — host-only `.env` rotation
- **Verification:** re-ran health + env-safety checks post-rotation; all passed with masked output only.
- **Committed in:** N/A (secret rotation is not a git-tracked change; documented in `docs/arena-deployment.md`'s Secret Handling section, which now explicitly names this incident and the rotation procedure)
**3. [Rule 3 - blocking issue] VPS2 root filesystem was 100% full, blocking the `git push origin main`**
- **Found during:** the plan's final step — `git push origin main` (botfight repo, hosted on the same VPS2 host at `source.archipelago-foundation.org`) failed with `error: remote unpack failed: unable to create temporary object directory`.
- **Issue:** `df -h /` on VPS2 showed `74G 72G 0 100% /` — Gitea could not create the temp directory it needs to unpack an incoming push. Root cause investigation found `/opt/gitea/data/gitea/packages` (the Gitea container-registry package storage — the same registry this task pulls the `botfights` image from) at **43 GB**, the overwhelming majority of the used space.
- **Fix (minimal/reversible only):** Ran `docker builder prune -f` and `docker image prune -f` (both explicitly safe — build cache and untagged/dangling images only, reclaimed 0B in this case since there was nothing dangling) and removed the 362 MB scratch seed-DB temp file left on the VPS from Task 2's data-seed step (`/tmp/botfights-seed.db`, already consumed). Between that cleanup and earlier container-recreate operations freeing old writable layers, available space rose to 1.5 GB, enough for the push to succeed.
- **Files modified:** none — no compose/manifest changes, host cleanup only.
- **Verification:** `git push origin main` succeeded (`fb35075..e4b82fd main -> main`) after the cleanup.
- **NOT auto-fixed (deferred, flagged for the user):** The 43 GB `/opt/gitea/data/gitea/packages` directory itself was left untouched. Pruning old/duplicate container image tags in a shared production registry is a destructive, judgment-requiring operation (Rule 4 territory — it affects every app on the VPS2 fleet that pulls from this registry, not just `botfights`), well outside this task's file scope (`docker-compose.arena.yml`, `docs/arena-deployment.md`). **VPS2's root disk is at 99% (1.5 GB free) as of this plan's completion — the next multi-GB push or image pull to/from this host will likely fail the same way.** This needs a deliberate registry-retention decision from the user (e.g. `gitea` admin package-version pruning, or moving package storage to a larger volume), not an automated cleanup.
---
**Total deviations:** 3 auto-fixed (1 Rule 2, 2 Rule 3)
**Impact on plan:** All three were necessary to meet the plan's own acceptance criteria and explicit secret-handling instruction; no scope creep beyond the deployed arena and its runbook. One (#3) surfaces an unresolved infra-capacity risk for the user's attention — see "Next Phase Readiness" below.
## Issues Encountered
- No `sqlite3` CLI binary was available locally to do the `.backup`/read-only export the plan suggested as one option — used Python's built-in `sqlite3` module instead (`mode=ro` URI + `VACUUM INTO`), which is functionally equivalent (read-only source handle, self-consistent snapshot including any checkpointed WAL data) and required no new package installs.
- `GET /api/bots` on the seeded arena initially appeared to under-report (100 vs. the expected 115) — investigated and confirmed this is pre-existing, correct API behavior: the endpoint filters out `botType === 'classic'` bots by default (15 of the 115), retrievable via `?type=classic`. Not a data-loss bug from the seed.
## User Setup Required
None for this plan's own scope. However, see Deviation #3 above: **VPS2's root disk is at 99% full (1.5 GB free)** because of a 43 GB Gitea package-registry directory. This is a pre-existing condition (not introduced by this plan) that this plan's own `git push` tripped over and had to work around minimally. Recommend a deliberate cleanup/retention decision before the next multi-GB operation on this host (image build+push for plan 09-05's 1.2.0 image will add to registry storage, not reduce it).
## Next Phase Readiness
- **Plan 09-05** (image build/push to 1.2.0) can proceed — the registry is reachable and the arena is running, but should budget for the low-disk-space risk above; consider checking `df -h /` on VPS2 before that plan's push step, or the user may want to prune old package versions first.
- **Plan 09-05's** precondition ("`curl -fsS http://146.59.87.168:9100/api/health` returns 200 from off-host") is already satisfied by this plan.
- **Plans 09-06/09-07** should read the canonical arena URL as `http://146.59.87.168:9100` (plain HTTP) from this SUMMARY / `docs/arena-deployment.md` when writing `ARENA_UPSTREAM_URL` into `apps/botfights/manifest.yml` — do NOT use an `https://arena.archipelago-foundation.org` placeholder; that subdomain does not exist yet (see the TLS-upgrade section of the runbook for how to add it later, env-only, no code change).
