WHAT WAS DONE: Added complete dedicated server pricing table to infrastructure manifest for capacity planning and expansion evaluation CURRENT PRODUCTION SERVERS DOCUMENTED: - TX1 Dallas: Dual Silver 4116 (24c/48t, 128GB RAM, 3.4TB NVMe) - $199/month - NC1 Charlotte: AMD 9950x (16c/32t, 128GB RAM, 3.6TB NVMe) - $259/month - Total: 13 game servers across 2 dedicated nodes DEDICATED SERVER PRICING TABLE ADDED: - AMD/Intel Mystery Box: $99/month (random hardware assignment) - AMD 7950x - 128GB: $199/month (16c/32t) - Dual Silver 4116: $199/month (24c/48t) ← Current TX1 - AMD 9950x - 128GB: $259/month (16c/32t) ← Current NC1 - Dual Gold 6142: $289/month (32c/64t, 256GB RAM) - RTX 4090 Dedicated: $300/month (GPU workloads) - AMD 9950x - 192GB: $329/month (16c/32t, upgraded RAM) - 8x 5000 Bare Metal: $3,600/month (enterprise tier) WHY THIS MATTERS: These locked-in rates enable accurate cost analysis for: - Adding 3rd dedicated node (TX2/NC2 for load balancing) - GPU workloads (AI image generation, rendering, ML training) - Geographic expansion (additional regions) - Capacity planning (subscribers-per-server calculations) - Provider comparisons (locked rates vs market rates) EXPANSION SCENARIOS DOCUMENTED: - TX2/NC2 node: $199-259/month for geographic redundancy - GPU node: $300/month for AI/rendering (vs $250 VPS GPU) - Mystery Box: $99/month for dev/staging/overflow capacity CURRENT UTILIZATION: - TX1: 6 game servers + FoundryVTT - NC1: 7 game servers - Total capacity: 13 production game servers MYSTERY BOX EXPLANATION: Random hardware assignment (AMD or Intel), significant discount vs specified hardware, suitable for non-critical workloads where specific CPU/specs not required. Future Chroniclers now have complete dedicated server pricing context when capacity decisions are needed.

- Provider: Breezehost
- Specs: AMD Epyc Cloud-2 (2 CPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB NVMe)
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Cost: $10/month
Breezehost Locked-In Pricing (Reference for Future Expansion):

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.
