**Deployment Started:** February 22, 2026 20:51 CST  
**Current Status:** Phase 4 COMPLETE ✅ | Phase 5-11 PENDING

---

## 📊 DEPLOYMENT PROGRESS

### Phase 0: Stop AnythingLLM ✅ COMPLETE
- **Completed:** February 22, 2026 ~20:00 CST
- **Status:** AnythingLLM stopped and removed
- **Notes:** Original deployment had poor document retrieval quality

### Phase 1: Install Nginx and SSL ✅ COMPLETE
- **Completed:** February 22, 2026 21:15 CST
- **Duration:** 30 minutes
- **Certificate:** Let's Encrypt for codex.firefrostgaming.com and n8n.firefrostgaming.com
- **Issues:** None - clean installation

### Phase 2: Deploy Docker Stack ✅ COMPLETE
- **Completed:** February 22, 2026 22:00 CST
- **Duration:** 45 minutes
- **Services Deployed:** 7 initial containers (db, redis, dify-api, dify-worker, dify-web, qdrant, n8n)
- **Major Issues Resolved:**
  - Storage permission errors (UID 1000 vs 1001)
  - Volume mount path incorrect (`/app/storage` vs `/app/api/storage`)
  - Next.js cache requiring container recreation

### Phase 3: Configure Nginx Reverse Proxy ✅ COMPLETE
- **Completed:** February 22, 2026 23:30 CST
- **Duration:** 1.5 hours (includes troubleshooting)
- **Major Issues Resolved:**
  - CORS/CSRF authentication failures (401 errors)
  - Cookie-based auth being rejected
  - Rate limiting blocking Next.js chunk loading
  - Missing API routing for `/console/api/*` endpoints

**Critical Configuration Discoveries:**
- Must use **blank API URLs** (`CONSOLE_API_URL=` and `APP_API_URL=`) to force relative paths
- Nginx must preserve HTTP/1.1 with `proxy_http_version 1.1`
- Must add `proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port` for CSRF origin matching
- Rate limit must be 100r/s with burst=100 to handle Next.js parallel chunk loading

### Phase 4: Plugin System & Ollama Integration ✅ COMPLETE
- **Completed:** February 23, 2026 03:21 CST  
- **Duration:** 3.5 hours (most challenging phase)
- **Services Added:** 3 plugin system containers (plugin_daemon, sandbox, ssrf_proxy)
- **Models Configured:** 5 Ollama models + Google Gemini

**This phase required solving 10+ sequential configuration issues:**

#### Issue 1: Plugin Daemon Not Found
- **Error:** "Failed to request plugin daemon"
- **Cause:** Dify v1.13.0 requires new plugin architecture not in original docker-compose
- **Solution:** Added 3 containers: plugin_daemon, sandbox, ssrf_proxy

#### Issue 2: Plugin Daemon Missing .env File
- **Error:** `failed to load .env file: open .env: no such file or directory`
- **Solution:** Added volume mount: `./.env:/app/.env:ro`

#### Issue 3: Missing DifyInnerApiURL
- **Error:** `Key: 'Config.DifyInnerApiURL' Error:Field validation for 'DifyInnerApiURL' failed on the 'required' tag`
- **Solution:** Added environment variables:
  ```yaml
  DIFY_INNER_API_URL: http://dify-api:5001
  DIFY_INNER_API_KEY: ${DIFY_SECRET_KEY}
  ```

#### Issue 4: Missing Remote Installing Host
- **Error:** `plugin remote installing host is empty`
- **Solution:** Added:
  ```yaml
  PLUGIN_REMOTE_INSTALLING_HOST: 0.0.0.0
  PLUGIN_REMOTE_INSTALLING_PORT: 5003
  ```

#### Issue 5: Missing Storage Paths
- **Error:** Plugin daemon started but installation failed silently
- **Solution:** Added complete plugin storage configuration:
  ```yaml
  PLUGIN_WORKING_PATH: /app/storage/cwd
  PLUGIN_STORAGE_TYPE: local
  PLUGIN_STORAGE_LOCAL_ROOT: /app/storage
  PLUGIN_INSTALLED_PATH: plugin
  PLUGIN_PACKAGE_CACHE_PATH: plugin_packages
  PLUGIN_MEDIA_CACHE_PATH: assets
  ```
- **Volume:** `./volumes/plugin_daemon/storage:/app/storage`

#### Issue 6: Sandbox Config Missing
- **Error:** `failed to init config: open conf/config.yaml: no such file or directory`
- **Solution:** Created `./volumes/sandbox/conf/config.yaml`:
  ```yaml
  worker:
    timeout: 15
  server:
    port: 8194
  enable_network: true
  ```

#### Issue 7: Plugin Installation Timeout (Dify Issue #603)
- **Error:** `failed to install dependencies: failed to start command: context canceled`
- **Cause:** dify-api drops HTTP connection before plugin installation completes
- **This was the hardest bug - required consulting Gemini conversation history**
- **Solutions:**
  - Added `PLUGIN_DAEMON_TIMEOUT: 600` to dify-api and dify-worker
  - Added `PYTHON_ENV_INIT_TIMEOUT: 300` to plugin_daemon
  - Added `PLUGIN_MAX_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT: 600` to plugin_daemon
  - Added `UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT: 300` (integer, NOT "300s")

#### Issue 8: Wrong Plugin Daemon Image
- **Error:** Continued timeout issues even with timeout fixes
- **Cause:** Using unstable `main-local-linux-amd64` image with known bugs
- **Solution:** Switched to stable `langgenius/dify-plugin-daemon:0.5.3-local`

#### Issue 9: Sandbox Not Connected to API
- **Error:** Code execution features wouldn't work
- **Solution:** Added to dify-api environment:
  ```yaml
  CODE_EXECUTION_ENDPOINT: http://sandbox:8194
  CODE_EXECUTION_API_KEY: dify-sandbox
  ```

#### Issue 10: Ollama DNS Resolution
- **Error:** Plugin couldn't resolve `host.docker.internal`
- **Solution:** Used direct IP address `http://38.68.14.26:11434` instead

**Final Result:**
- ✅ Ollama plugin installed successfully
- ✅ 5 models configured: qwen2.5-coder:7b/32b, llama3.3:70b, llama3.2-vision:11b, nomic-embed-text
- ✅ Google Gemini provider added
- ✅ System defaults set (llama3.3:70b for reasoning, nomic-embed-text for embeddings)

## 📝 CRITICAL CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

### Environment Variables (.env)

**CRITICAL - Must be blank for CSRF to work:**
```bash
CONSOLE_API_URL=
APP_API_URL=
```

**Public URLs:**
```bash
CONSOLE_WEB_URL=https://codex.firefrostgaming.com
APP_WEB_URL=https://codex.firefrostgaming.com
```

**CORS (must match domain exactly):**
```bash
CONSOLE_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS=https://codex.firefrostgaming.com
WEB_API_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGINS=https://codex.firefrostgaming.com
```

**Plugin System (critical timeouts for Issue #603):**
```bash
PLUGIN_DAEMON_URL=http://plugin_daemon:5002
PLUGIN_DAEMON_KEY=${DIFY_SECRET_KEY}
PLUGIN_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=600  # dify-api must hold connection
PYTHON_ENV_INIT_TIMEOUT=300  # plugin_daemon
PLUGIN_MAX_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT=600  # plugin_daemon
UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT=300  # INTEGER not "300s"
```

**Sandbox:**
```bash
CODE_EXECUTION_ENDPOINT=http://sandbox:8194
CODE_EXECUTION_API_KEY=dify-sandbox
```

**Ollama:**
```bash
OLLAMA_API_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434  # Not used in v1.13.0
# Actual connection: http://38.68.14.26:11434 (configured via plugin UI)
```

### Nginx Critical Headers

**For `/console/api/*` endpoints:**
```nginx
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
```

**Rate Limiting:**
```nginx
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=codex_limit:10m rate=100r/s;
limit_req zone=codex_limit burst=100 nodelay;
```

### Docker Image Tags

**MUST use stable tags, NOT bleeding-edge:**
- ✅ `langgenius/dify-plugin-daemon:0.5.3-local`
- ❌ `langgenius/dify-plugin-daemon:main-local-linux-amd64` (has Issue #603 bug)

### Storage Permissions

**Dify storage must be owned by UID 1001:**
```bash
chown -R 1001:1001 ./volumes/dify/storage
```

**Volume mount path must be:**
```yaml
- ./volumes/dify/storage:/app/api/storage  # NOT /app/storage
```

## 🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING QUICK REFERENCE

### Issue: Blank Dashboard with 401 Errors
**Cause:** Absolute API URLs breaking CSRF  
**Solution:** Set `CONSOLE_API_URL=` and `APP_API_URL=` to blank

### Issue: Plugin Installation Fails with "context canceled"
**Cause:** Dify Issue #603 - HTTP timeout  
**Solutions:**
1. Use stable image `0.5.3-local` not `main`
2. Set `PLUGIN_DAEMON_TIMEOUT: 600` in dify-api
3. Set `UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT: 300` (integer) in plugin_daemon

### Issue: Config Changes Not Applied
**Cause:** Docker caches broken container state  
**Solution:** Force recreation:
```bash
docker-compose stop <service>
docker-compose rm -f <service>
docker-compose up -d <service>
```

### Issue: "Permission Denied" Writing to Storage
**Cause:** UID mismatch  
**Solution:**
```bash
chown -R 1001:1001 ./volumes/dify/storage
```

### Issue: Nginx Returns 502 Bad Gateway
**Causes:**
1. Containers not running: `docker-compose ps`
2. Wrong ports: Check `127.0.0.1:3000` and `127.0.0.1:5001`
3. CORS issues: Check browser console

## 🎓 LESSONS LEARNED

### What Worked Well
1. **Incremental debugging** - Solve one error at a time
2. **Gemini consultation** - Provided critical Issue #603 diagnosis
3. **Complete container recreation** - Use `rm -f` not just `restart`
4. **Reading error logs immediately** - Caught issues fast

### What Didn't Work
1. **Using bleeding-edge images** - Stick to stable releases
2. **Assuming defaults** - Plugin system needs 15+ env variables
3. **Simple restart after config changes** - Must recreate containers

### Critical Discoveries
1. **Blank API URLs are correct** for reverse proxy setups
2. **CSRF requires specific nginx headers** preserved
3. **Plugin system is brand new** (v1.13.0) - poorly documented
4. **Timeout hierarchy matters** - API, daemon, and UV all need configs
5. **UID mismatches common** - Always check container user
