WHAT WAS DONE: Added Development VPS to infrastructure manifest as 7th server for safe testing and commercial product development SERVER DETAILS: - Provider: Breezehost - Specs: AMD Epyc Cloud-2 (2 CPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB NVMe) - Cost: $10/month - OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Purpose: Pterodactyl Panel development/testing (NOT production) - IP: TBD (pending deployment April 2, 2026) PRIMARY PURPOSE: - Blueprint extension development (Modpack Version Checker) - Panel update testing before production deployment - Safe experimentation without risking 11 production servers - Training environment for Trinity FLEXIBLE CONVERSION OPTIONS DOCUMENTED: Server is NOT locked to single purpose. Can be repurposed as: 1. Additional Wings node (game server capacity) 2. Staging environment for Ghost/services 3. CI/CD pipeline server 4. Backup Panel failover 5. Commercial product hosting 6. Additional application server WHY SEPARATE DEV ENVIRONMENT: - Testing on production Panel = risk of panel lockup - One bad database query = 11 servers affected - Blueprint extensions require isolated testing - Potential MySQL corruption in production CURRENT PROJECTS: - Modpack Version Checker (commercial extension, $1k-6.7k/year revenue) - Panel v1.13.x upgrade validation INFRASTRUCTURE PHILOSOPHY: Development infrastructure that adapts to mission needs, not the other way around. Built for flexibility and sustainable commercial product development. CHANGES TO MANIFEST: - Added Dev VPS to Core Services Hierarchy table - Created detailed Dev VPS Details section - Documented flexible conversion scenarios - Added safety rationale for isolated testing - Updated revision history to v2.0 DEPLOYMENT DATE: April 2, 2026 (Wednesday) WHY THIS MATTERS: Enables commercial product development (passive income) while protecting production infrastructure. $10/month investment enables $1k-6.7k/year revenue from Modpack Version Checker alone. ROI: 100x+ in Year 1. FILE: docs/core/infrastructure-manifest.md Signed-off-by: The Versionist (Chronicler #49) <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
