🧾 Session Log — Task 6_8_6_0

Engelbot v1.0 – Production Deployment on Clever Cloud
Date: 2025‑10‑17
Phase: Pre‑Validation (Mission 5_6_0)
Participants: Robbert (4_1_1 Founder) + AI assistant

---

🎯 Objective

Deploy the Toolbox API service to Clever Cloud as the production runtime for Engelbot v1.0 so that Engelbot can execute Toolbox scripts over HTTP instead of local Python calls.

---

🧩 Context before start

• Engelbot running locally with new toolboxClient.ts HTTP adapter.
• Toolbox API (Flask) and Toolbox scripts live together in 3_1_leadership_team/.
• Forgejo API utilities verified and working.
• Goal: make Toolbox API production‑ready inside Smartup Zero organisation on Clever Cloud.

---

🪜 Steps Executed

1 ️⃣ Toolbox API and Engelbot local integration

• Created src/services/toolboxClient.ts to route Engelbot commands → Toolbox API instead of local execSync.
• Cleaned TypeScript errors (using Node 18 native fetch).
• Updated src/config.ts to include:

  toolbox: { apiUrl: process.env.TOOLBOX_API_URL || "http://localhost:8080" }
  

• Confirmed Engelbot builds and runs locally with .env containing TOOLBOX_API_URL.

2 ️⃣ Clever Tools installation

• Installed Clever Tools CLI binary (v4.1.0) on Linux Mint.
• clever login → confirmed valid profile and token storage.

3 ️⃣ Initial Deployment attempt

• Created Python app (“toolbox‑api”) under personal space → deployed → worked technically but wrong organisation.
• Deleted app → re‑created Python app under Smartup Zero org.
• Linked and pushed code from 3_1_leadership_team/.

4 ️⃣ First build failures

• Builder: “No requirements.txt found.”
• Cause: Python builder ignored .clevercloud/python.json and looked only for root requirements.txt.
• We experimented with .clever.json, .clevercloud and link issues → messy state.
• Decided to reset everything (clean app creation + fresh link).

5 ️⃣ Clean build solution

• Simplified approach:
  • Added root‑level requirements.txt that includes the subfolder:

    flask>=3.0.0
    flask‑cors>=4.0.0
    gunicorn>=21.2.0
    requests>=2.31.0
    pyyaml>=6.0
    

  • Set env vars:

    CC_PYTHON_MODULE="toolbox_api.app:app"
    CC_PYTHON_BACKEND=gunicorn
    CC_PYTHON_VERSION=3
    PORT=8080
    

• Pushed → Builder detected requirements, installed Flask, Gunicorn and launched server.
• ✅ First successful deployment.

6 ️⃣ Post‑deployment validation

• Verified logs:

  Starting gunicorn...
  Listening at http://127.0.0.1:9000
  Application start successful
  

• Hitting root URL → 404 (Exception object returned by Flask).
• Root cause: /health route not reachable due to import path conflict.

7 ️⃣ Plan to finalize

Next session will:

• Add __init__.py to toolbox_api/ to make it a proper Python package.
• Re‑confirm CC_PYTHON_MODULE="toolbox_api.app:app".
• Redeploy and verify /health endpoint returns 200 OK.
• Once server responds, move to Phase 3 (Network Group setup) to link Engelbot ↔ Toolbox API ↔ Forgejo.

---

💡 Why this approach works

• Avoids Clever‑specific JSON magic by using standard Python buildpack rules.
• Single root requirements.txt ensures dependencies are always installed.
• CC_PYTHON_MODULE precisely tells Gunicorn what to load.
• Keeps Toolbox API and Toolbox scripts in the same repo for simple relative paths.

📈 Current Status (End of Session)

Component	Status	Notes
Toolbox API	✅ Deployed on Clever Cloud (Smartup Zero org)	Gunicorn running successfully
Flask routes	⚠️ Root 404 – needs package import fix	Add __init__.py, verify /health
Engelbot ⇄ Toolbox API	🕓 Pending (Network Group)	To implement after /health works
Mission 5_6_0	85 %	Infrastructure now live, final connectivity next
Next Phase	Network Group (Phase 3)	Create private VPN between Engelbot, Toolbox API and Forgejo

---

📚 Deliverables committed/to commit

• toolbox_api/app.py (Flask entry file)
• toolbox_api/requirements.txt
• toolbox_api/Procfile
• root requirements.txt
• Updated environment variables on Clever Cloud

---

📌 Summary Outcome

“We now have a live Toolbox API backend on Clever Cloud (Smartup Zero org).
 It builds, installs dependencies, and runs Gunicorn successfully.
 Health endpoint still returns 404 until the Flask module path is finalized, after which we’ll continue with private network configuration and Engelbot integration.”
