## 6. Infrastructure Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Management Services Strategy (Completed 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, Automation (backend tools)
|
|
- Ghost VPS: MkDocs, Wiki.js x2, NextCloud (public-facing services)
|
|
- Billing VPS: Paymenter only (financial isolation)
|
|
- Panel VPS: Pterodactyl Panel only (control plane)
|
|
|
|
**Dedicated Tier (Performance):**
|
|
- TX1 Dallas: Game servers ONLY
|
|
- NC1 Charlotte: Game servers ONLY
|
|
|
|
**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)
|
|
|

|
|
- World backup automation
|
|
|
|
### **Lessons Learned:**
|
|
|
|
**Technical:**
|
|
1. PostgreSQL requires explicit OWNER + schema grants for third-party apps
|
|
2. NextCloud doesn't support PostgreSQL out of box - needs php-pgsql module
|
|
3. Nginx directory listing must be disabled for app routing
|
|
4. Wiki.js requires HTTPS in config.yml when behind SSL proxy
|
|
5. Dual instances need separate databases AND ports AND systemd services
|
|
|
|
**Workflow:**
|
|
1. Automation system enables 11+ hour marathons sustainably
|
|
2. One-paste commands critical for hand limitations
|
|
3. Real-time documentation prevents context loss
|
|
4. Troubleshooting patience pays off (NextCloud took 2.5 hours but works perfectly)
|
|
5. Health monitoring (Jack) enables safe long sessions
|
|
|
|
**Infrastructure:**
|
|
1. VPS tier perfect for management services (plug-and-play networking)
|
|
2. Ghost VPS has excellent resource headroom (2.8GB RAM free)
|
|
3. Dedicated tier optimized for game performance only
|
|
4. Clear separation of concerns improves maintainability
|
|
5. $0 additional cost - optimal use of existing resources
|
|
|

**PHASE 0.5 STATUS: 100% COMPLETE** ✅
|
|
**Next Major Milestone:** Phase 1 (DDoS Protection + LuckPerms)
|
|
**Total Time Investment (Feb 9):** 11+ hours (morning + evening sessions)

# Firefrost Gaming: Complete Context for Gemini Exploration Sessions
|
|
|
|
**Last Updated:** February 9, 2026
|
|
**Version:** 2.0
|
|
**Purpose:** Provide complete project context for brainstorming with Gemini AI
|
|

## CRITICAL: What This Document Is For
|
|
|
|
This is a **SANDBOX BRIEFING** - it provides context for **exploratory** AI sessions with Google Gemini.
|
|
|
|
**Use Case:** When you want to brainstorm, explore ideas, or get creative input WITHOUT executing commands on production servers.
|
|
|
|
**NOT for production deployments** - Production work happens with Claude using the automation system.

## Installation Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. PHP Stack Installation
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt install -y php8.3-fpm php8.3-mysql php8.3-curl php8.3-gd \
|
|
php8.3-intl php8.3-mbstring php8.3-xml php8.3-zip \
|
|
php8.3-imagick php8.3-bcmath php8.3-gmp php8.3-pgsql unzip curl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. PostgreSQL Database
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u postgres psql << 'SQL'
|
|
CREATE USER nextcloud WITH PASSWORD 'FrostFire2026Cloud';
|
|
CREATE DATABASE nextcloud OWNER nextcloud;
|
|
\c nextcloud
|
|
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO nextcloud;
|
|
GRANT ALL ON DATABASE nextcloud TO nextcloud;
|
|
\q
|
|
SQL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL:** ALTER DATABASE OWNER required for proper permissions
|
|
|
|
### 3. NextCloud Download
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /var/www
|
|
wget https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/latest.tar.bz2
|
|
tar -xjf latest.tar.bz2
|
|
rm latest.tar.bz2
|
|
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Nginx Configuration
|
|
**Key points:**
|
|
- Remove `$uri/` from try_files to prevent directory listing
|
|
- Add rewrite for index.php routing
|
|
- Proper FastCGI parameters for HTTPS
|
|
|
|
**Final working config:**
|
|
```nginx
|
|
location / {
|
|
try_files $uri /index.php$request_uri;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOT:**
|
|
```nginx
|
|
location / {
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$request_uri; # WRONG - causes 403
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. SSL Certificate
|
|
```bash
|
|
certbot --nginx -d downloads.firefrostgaming.com \
|
|
--non-interactive --agree-tos \
|
|
--email mkrause612@gmail.com --redirect
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 6. Web Installation
|
|
- Navigate to https://downloads.firefrostgaming.com
|
|
- Admin: mkrause612 / FireFrost2026Admin
|
|
- Database: PostgreSQL (NOT MySQL/MariaDB by default)
|
|
- Database details:
|
|
- User: nextcloud
|
|
- Password: FrostFire2026Cloud
|
|
- Database: nextcloud
|
|
- Host: localhost:5432
|
|
|
|
### 7. Permissions
|
|
```bash
|
|
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/nextcloud
|
|
find /var/www/nextcloud -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
|
|
find /var/www/nextcloud -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
|
|
chmod 770 /var/www/nextcloud/data
|
|
chmod -R 770 /var/www/nextcloud/apps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Challenges Encountered
|
|
|
|
### 1. PostgreSQL Not Supported (Initial)
|
|
**Error:** "Database <pgsql> is not supported"
|
|
**Solution:** Install php8.3-pgsql module
|
|
**Command:** `apt install -y php8.3-pgsql`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Directory Index Forbidden (403)
|
|
**Error:** "directory index of /var/www/nextcloud/apps/dashboard/ is forbidden"
|
|
**Root Cause:** Nginx `try_files $uri $uri/` attempted directory listing
|
|
**Solution:** Remove `$uri/` from location blocks
|
|
|
|
### 3. Redirect Loops
|
|
**Error:** "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"
|
|
**Root Cause:** Dashboard app + custom redirects
|
|
**Solution:** Temporarily disable dashboard, fix Nginx routing
|
|
|
|
### 4. Browser Cache Issues
|
|
**Error:** Stuck on /apps/dashboard even after fixes
|
|
**Solution:** Clear browser cookies/cache, use incognito mode
|
|

|
## Integration with Subscriber System
|
|
|
|
**Purpose:** World download access for $5+ subscribers
|
|
|
|
**Workflow (Manual Phase 1):**
|
|
1. Subscriber pays via Paymenter
|
|
2. Manual NextCloud account creation
|
|
3. Email credentials to subscriber
|
|
4. Grant access to world backup folders
|
|
|
|
**Future (Phase 2):**
|
|
- Paymenter webhook triggers automatic account creation
|
|
- Automated credential emails
|
|
- Automated folder permission grants
|
|
|
|
**Future (Phase 3):**
|
|
- SSO/OAuth integration across all services
|
|
- Real-time subscription validation
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Maintenance
|
|
|
|
**Updates:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Backups:**
|
|
- Database: pg_dump nextcloud
|
|
- Files: /var/www/nextcloud/data/
|
|
|
|
**Monitoring:**
|
|
- Added to Uptime Kuma (pending)
|
|
- Check via https://downloads.firefrostgaming.com/login
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Key Learnings
|
|
|
|
1. **PostgreSQL requires php-pgsql module** - not installed by default
|
|
2. **Nginx directory listing must be disabled** for NextCloud routing
|
|
3. **ALTER DATABASE OWNER critical** for proper permissions
|
|
4. **Browser cache can persist** after server fixes
|
|
5. **Dashboard app can conflict** with initial setup
|
|
6. **Web installation easier** than CLI for complex configs
|
|
|
