Claude (Chronicler #49) 87aeec06d7 docs: Add Breezehost locked-in pricing reference
WHAT WAS DONE:
Added complete Breezehost pricing table to infrastructure manifest for future expansion planning

PRICING TABLE ADDED:
- Cloud-1: $7/month (1 CPU, 2GB RAM, 40GB NVMe, 2 IPv4)
- Cloud-2: $10/month (2 CPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB NVMe, 4 IPv4) ← Current Dev VPS
- Cloud-4: $17/month (4 CPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe, 8 IPv4)
- Cloud-12: $33/month (8 CPU, 12GB RAM, 240GB NVMe, 16 IPv4)
- Cloud-16: $49/month (12 CPU, 16GB RAM, 320GB NVMe, 24 IPv4)
- Cloud-24: $59/month (16 CPU, 24GB RAM, 480GB NVMe, 32 IPv4)
- Cloud-32: $89/month (24 CPU, 32GB RAM, 640GB NVMe, 32 IPv4)
- GPU RTX4090: $250/month (Max CPU, 128GB RAM, 250GB NVMe, GPU)

WHY THIS MATTERS:
These are Michael's locked-in rates with Breezehost. Standard pricing for new customers may be higher. This pricing reference enables accurate cost evaluation when:
- Considering infrastructure expansion
- Evaluating capacity upgrades
- Planning additional VPS deployments
- Comparing providers (locked rates may beat competitors)

USE CASE EXAMPLES:
- Need more dev/staging capacity? Cloud-4 at $17/month
- Planning dedicated CI/CD pipeline? Cloud-12 at $33/month
- Considering GPU workloads (AI/rendering)? RTX4090 at $250/month
- Evaluating competitor quotes? Compare against locked rates first

Future Chroniclers and Michael can reference this table when infrastructure decisions require cost analysis.

Note: These are Michael's locked-in rates with Breezehost. Use this pricing when evaluating infrastructure expansion, additional VPS needs, or capacity upgrades. Current market rates may be higher for new customers.

Service: Pterodactyl Panel (Development/Testing - NOT production)

Primary Purpose:

  • Blueprint extension development and testing
  • Panel update validation before production deployment
  • Safe experimentation environment for new configurations
  • Training ground for Trinity members

Flexible Conversion Options: Development infrastructure that adapts to evolving needs. This server can be repurposed as mission requirements change:

  • Alternative Use #1: Additional Wings node (game server capacity expansion)
  • Alternative Use #2: Staging environment for Ghost CMS/service updates
  • Alternative Use #3: CI/CD pipeline server (automated testing)
  • Alternative Use #4: Backup Panel server (failover redundancy)
  • Alternative Use #5: Dedicated hosting for commercial products
  • Alternative Use #6: Additional application server (Wiki.js, etc.)

Key Characteristic: Not locked to single purpose - can be converted based on operational needs without affecting production infrastructure.

Why Not Test on Production Panel:

  • One bad database query = panel lockup
  • Risk to 11 production game servers
  • Potential data corruption in production MySQL
  • Blueprint extensions require isolated testing environment

Current Projects:

  • Modpack Version Checker (commercial Blueprint extension, $1k-6.7k/year projected revenue)
  • Panel v1.13.x upgrade testing (before production deployment)

Setup Standards:

  • SSH access for Trinity (architect user)
  • Cockpit monitoring installed
  • UFW firewall configured
  • Pterodactyl Panel + Blueprint Framework
  • Standard security hardening per FFG infrastructure standards
  • Regular backups (lower priority than production servers)

6. Infrastructure Architecture

Management Services Strategy (Implemented Feb 9, 2026)

Philosophy: "Backend on Command Center, Frontend on Ghost, Money on Billing, Games on Dedis, Control on Panel"

VPS Tier (Management):

  • Command Center: Gitea, Uptime Kuma, Code-Server, Automation (backend tools)
  • Ghost VPS: MkDocs, Wiki.js, NextCloud (public-facing docs)
  • Billing VPS: Paymenter only (financial isolation)
  • Panel VPS: Pterodactyl Panel only (control plane)

Dedicated Tier (Performance):

  • TX1 Dallas: Game servers ONLY (6 servers)
  • NC1 Charlotte: Game servers ONLY (6 servers)

Rationale:

  • VPS = plug-and-play networking, easy SSL, low maintenance
  • Dedicated = performance for game servers, massive RAM/CPU
  • Clear separation of concerns
  • Optimal use of existing infrastructure ($0 additional cost)

Key Architecture Note (NC1)

All NC1 game servers share a single IP (216.239.104.130) with unique ports. This differs from TX1 where each server has its own IP on the /29 block.

Uptime Kuma: status.firefrostgaming.com

Infrastructure Monitors:

  • Pterodactyl Panel (100% uptime)
  • Command Center (100% uptime)
