Date: February 20, 2026
Session Duration: ~9 hours

✅ Ollama (Docker container with 5 models)
✅ qwen2.5-coder:7b selected as primary (FAST!)
✅ Multi-user mode configured
✅ Admin account created (mkrause612)
✅ Performance validated (acceptable speed)

Models Downloaded (73.5 GB)

✅ qwen2.5-coder:7b (4.7 GB) - PRIMARY
✅ llama3.3:70b (42 GB) - Fallback
✅ llama3.2-vision:11b (7.8 GB) - Vision
✅ qwen2.5-coder:32b (19 GB) - Advanced
✅ nomic-embed-text (274 MB) - Embeddings

Documentation Created

✅ DEPLOYMENT-COMPLETE.md (~6,000 lines)
✅ NEXT-STEPS.md (Phase 2 guide)
✅ All committed and pushed to Git

🔧 TECHNICAL SUMMARY

What Works:

  • Web interface accessible at http://38.68.14.26:3001
  • Docker containers running and linked
  • qwen2.5-coder:7b provides 5-10 second responses
  • Multi-user authentication functional
  • All models loaded and available

What's Next (Phase 2):

  • Create 5 workspaces
  • Upload operations manual docs
  • Build Git sync automation
  • Add Meg's account
  • SSL/TLS + firewall hardening

Resource Usage:

  • TX1 Available: 164 GB RAM, 735 GB disk
  • No impact on game servers
  • Services auto-restart on failure

🎓 KEY LEARNINGS

What Worked

  1. Docker container linking - More reliable than host networking
  2. Testing multiple model sizes - 7B sweet spot found
  3. Incremental deployment - Caught issues early
  4. Comprehensive documentation - Everything recorded

Challenges Overcome

  1. Networking issues - Migrated Ollama to Docker, used container linking
  2. Performance concerns - Found fast 7B model instead of slow 70B
  3. Model availability - Qwen 72B doesn't exist, used 32B + 7B
  4. Storage location - Models in /usr/share/ollama/.ollama (66 GB)

Time Investment

  • Infrastructure setup: 2 hours
  • Model downloads: 4 hours
  • Networking troubleshooting: 3 hours
  • Testing & configuration: 1 hour
  • Total: 9 hours deployment + documentation

📊 COST ANALYSIS

Investment:

  • Development time: 9 hours
  • Server resources: Already paid for (TX1)
  • Software: $0 (open source)
  • Total cash cost: $0

Ongoing:

  • Monthly: $0 (no API fees)
  • Savings vs Claude API: $30-50/month ($360-600/year)
  • Savings vs SaaS AI: $50-200/month ($600-2,400/year)

ROI: Infinite (free forever)

  4. Add Meg's account (15 min)
  5. Security hardening (2-3 hours)

Estimated Phase 2 time: 4-6 hours

💬 NOTABLE MOMENTS

"Most Minecraft servers have Discord. We have an AI." - The hook that defines it all

9-hour deployment - Longest single infrastructure session, but worth it

Networking troubleshooting - 3 hours to solve container communication

Fast model discovery - qwen2.5-coder:7b saves the day at 5-10 seconds

Zero cost achievement - $0/month for full AI assistant

Claudius's report - Parallel universe Pokémon win (57 Pokémon approved!)

🎊 WHAT THIS MEANS

Firefrost Gaming now has:

  • First self-hosted AI in Minecraft community
  • 24/7 assistance for staff and subscribers
  • Complete privacy (no cloud APIs)
  • Zero ongoing costs (important for deficit)
  • Scalable foundation for future growth

The vision is real. Codex is not a prototype. It's operational.

📝 ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

Parallel Work:

  • Received Claudius's Session 9 report (Pokémon project)
  • WikiJS deployment requested (for Ghost, not TX1)
  • Mayview modpack resource allocation discussed (NC1, 10GB RAM)

Infrastructure Notes:

  • TX1 has massive headroom (164 GB RAM available)
  • All services isolated and stable
  • Game servers unaffected by Codex deployment
  • Ready for additional services if needed
