Claude (The Golden Chronicler #50) 04e9b407d5 feat: Migrate Arbiter and Modpack Version Checker to monorepo
WHAT WAS DONE:
- Migrated Arbiter (discord-oauth-arbiter) code to services/arbiter/
- Migrated Modpack Version Checker code to services/modpack-version-checker/
- Created .env.example for Arbiter with all required environment variables
- Moved systemd service file to services/arbiter/deploy/
- Organized directory structure per Gemini monorepo recommendations

WHY:
- Consolidate all service code in one repository
- Prepare for Gemini code review (Panel v1.12 compatibility check)
- Enable service-prefixed Git tagging (arbiter-v2.1.0, modpack-v1.0.0)
- Support npm workspaces for shared dependencies

SERVICES MIGRATED:
1. Arbiter (Discord OAuth bot) - Originally written by Gemini + Claude
   - Full source code from ops-manual docs/implementation/
   - Created comprehensive .env.example
   - Ready for Panel v1.12 compatibility verification

2. Modpack Version Checker (Python CLI tool)
   - Full source code from ops-manual docs/tasks/
   - Written for Panel v1.11, needs Gemini review for v1.12
   - Never had code review before

STILL TODO:
- Whitelist Manager - Pull from Billing VPS (38.68.14.188)
  - Currently deployed and running
  - Needs Panel v1.12 API compatibility fix (Task #86)
  - Requires SSH access to pull code

NEXT STEPS:
- Gemini code review for Panel v1.12 API compatibility
- Create package.json for each service
- Test npm workspaces integration
- Deploy after verification

FILES:
- services/arbiter/ (25 new files, full application)
- services/modpack-version-checker/ (21 new files, full application)

# Installation Guide
## Requirements
- Python 3.9 or newer
- pip (comes with Python)
- A free CurseForge API key
---
## Step 1 — Install Python
Verify Python is installed:
```bash
python3 --version
# Should show: Python 3.9.x or newer
```
If not installed, download from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
---
## Step 2 — Install Modpack Version Checker
### Option A: pip (recommended)
```bash
pip install modpack-version-checker
```
### Option B: Install with scheduler support
```bash
pip install "modpack-version-checker[scheduler]"
```
This adds APScheduler for the `modpack-checker schedule` background daemon command.
### Option C: Install from source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/firefrostgaming/modpack-version-checker.git
cd modpack-version-checker
pip install -e ".[scheduler]"
```
---
## Step 3 — Get a CurseForge API Key (free)
1. Go to [console.curseforge.com](https://console.curseforge.com)
2. Log in or create a free account
3. Click **Create API Key**
4. Copy the key
---
## Step 4 — Configure
```bash
modpack-checker config set-key YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
```
The key is stored in `~/.config/modpack-checker/config.json`.
---
## Step 5 (Optional) — Set Up Discord Notifications
1. In your Discord server, go to **Channel Settings → Integrations → Webhooks**
2. Click **New Webhook** and copy the URL
3. Run:
```bash
modpack-checker config set-webhook https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL
```
A test message will be sent to confirm it works.
---
## Step 6 — Add Your First Modpack
Find your modpack's CurseForge project ID in the URL:
`https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/all-the-mods-9` → go to the page, the ID is in the sidebar.
```bash
modpack-checker add 238222 # All The Mods 9
modpack-checker add 361392 # RLCraft
```
---
## Step 7 — Check for Updates
```bash
modpack-checker check
```
---
## Background Scheduler (Optional)
Run continuous checks automatically:
```bash
# Check every 6 hours (default)
modpack-checker schedule
# Check every 12 hours
modpack-checker schedule --hours 12
```
To run as a Linux systemd service, create `/etc/systemd/system/modpack-checker.service`:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Modpack Version Checker
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=YOUR_USERNAME
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/modpack-checker schedule --hours 6
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Then:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now modpack-checker
```
---
## Uninstall
```bash
pip uninstall modpack-version-checker
# Remove config and database (optional)
rm -rf ~/.config/modpack-checker/
```
---
## Troubleshooting
**`modpack-checker: command not found`**
- Make sure pip's script directory is in your PATH
- Try: `python3 -m modpack_checker.cli`
**`Invalid API key`**
- Double-check the key at [console.curseforge.com](https://console.curseforge.com)
- Ensure there are no extra spaces when setting it
**`Connection failed`**
- Check your internet connection
- CurseForge API may be temporarily down; try again in a few minutes
**`Modpack shows Unknown`**
- Verify the project ID is correct by checking the CurseForge page
- Some older modpacks have no files listed via the API
