🔥❄️ SESSION HANDOFF: CODE-SERVER DEPLOYMENT (FEB 10, 2026 - EVENING)

For Claude: Read this for tonight's deployment session


CRITICAL CONTEXT

What's Happening Tonight:

  • Deploying Code-Server (browser-based VS Code)
  • URL: code.firefrostgaming.com
  • Location: Command Center VPS (63.143.34.217)
  • Goal: Browser-based file editing (accessibility enhancement)

Why This Matters:

  • Eliminates 90% of terminal work for documentation
  • Enables mobile editing (Chromebook + Samsung S24 Ultra)
  • Allows direct paste of Gemini outputs into files
  • Enables Meg to edit docs without SSH knowledge

MICHAEL'S STATUS

Today's Progress:

  • Morning housekeeping complete (2 hours)
  • Documentation consolidated and committed
  • Gemini brainstorming sessions guide created
  • Code-Server deployment plan ready
  • Bank visit + Max plan upgrade completed
  • Fresh 5x Max capacity (100% available)

Current State:

  • Claude Max plan: 5x ($100/month)
  • Fresh weekly quota available
  • Hands rested from morning session
  • Ready for focused deployment

Health:

  • Jack: No alerts today (excellent)
  • Hands: Rested and ready
  • Energy: Good for 1-2 hour session

DEPLOYMENT PLAN LOCATION

Complete battle plan:

  • File: docs/code-server-deployment-plan.md
  • Location: Git repo
  • Status: Ready for execution

Read this file before starting deployment!


PRE-DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST

DNS (Must verify):

  • code.firefrostgaming.com A record → 63.143.34.217
  • DNS propagation complete

System Checks:

  • Port 8080 available
  • Disk space sufficient (~500MB needed)
  • Git repo backed up (already done)

DEPLOYMENT STEPS (HIGH LEVEL)

  1. Install Code-Server (~15 min)
  2. Configure (~20 min)
  3. Nginx Reverse Proxy (~15 min)
  4. SSL Certificate (~5 min)
  5. Firewall Rules (~10 min)
  6. Testing (~20 min)
    • Desktop browser
    • Chromebook
    • Samsung S24 Ultra
  7. VS Code Extensions (~10 min)
  8. Documentation (~15 min)

Total Estimated: 1-2 hours


ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Code Format:

  • Micro-blocks (8-10 lines max)
  • Wait for "success" between blocks
  • No long scripts (use automation if needed)

Testing Priority:

  • Mobile experience is critical
  • Must work on S24 Ultra
  • Must work on Chromebook
  • Desktop is secondary

SUCCESS CRITERIA

Must Have:

  • HTTPS access working (code.firefrostgaming.com)
  • Can edit files in browser
  • Git operations work via GUI
  • Mobile responsive on S24 Ultra
  • Works on Chromebook

Nice to Have:

  • VS Code extensions installed
  • Custom keybindings configured
  • PWA setup for mobile
  • Thumb button mappings researched

POST-DEPLOYMENT

Immediate:

  • Test file editing workflow
  • Test Git commit/push via UI
  • Test from all devices
  • Add to Uptime Kuma monitoring
  • Create deployment documentation

Tomorrow:

  • Train Meg on usage
  • Configure thumb button mappings
  • Install additional extensions
  • Test Gemini → Code-Server workflow

GEMINI INTEGRATION

After Code-Server is deployed:

  • Michael can brainstorm with Gemini
  • Gemini provides markdown output
  • Michael pastes directly into Code-Server
  • Commits via GUI
  • No Claude needed for file creation!

This unlocks true Gemini → Code-Server → Git workflow


TROUBLESHOOTING RESOURCES

If issues arise:

  • Battle plan: docs/code-server-deployment-plan.md
  • Rollback procedures documented
  • Emergency: Stop service and revert Nginx config

No data loss risk - all Git files untouched


COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

Michael's Status Codes:

  • "success" = Continue to next step
  • "error" = Need troubleshooting
  • "checkpoint" = Need clarification
  • "pause" = Taking a break

Jack Alerts:

  • No questions, health first
  • Resume when Michael says stable

SESSION GOALS

Primary:

  • Code-Server operational at code.firefrostgaming.com
  • Browser-based editing working
  • Mobile access verified

Secondary:

  • VS Code extensions installed
  • Workspace optimized
