🏠 Local Development¶

Quick Start¶

cd /srv/luminous-dynamics/Mycelix-Core

# Start coordinator
nix develop
cargo run --bin coordinator

# Start dashboard (different terminal)
./start-dashboard.sh

# Open browser
open http://localhost:8890

Development Ports¶

8889: Rust Coordinator WebSocket
8890: Dashboard HTTP Server
8888: Holochain Conductor (future)

🐳 Docker Deployment¶

Build Images¶

# Build all images
docker-compose build

# Or build individually
docker build -t mycelix-coordinator:latest --target rust-builder .
docker build -t mycelix-dashboard:latest .
docker build -t mycelix-agents:latest .

Run with Docker Compose¶

Basic Setup (Coordinator + Dashboard)¶

# Start core services
docker-compose up -d coordinator dashboard

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Access dashboard
open http://localhost:8890

Full Swarm (with Python Agents)¶

# Start everything
docker-compose up -d

# Scale agent containers
docker-compose up -d --scale python-agents=10

# This creates 10 containers × 50 agents = 500 agents

With Monitoring Stack¶

# Include Prometheus and Grafana
docker-compose --profile monitoring up -d

# Access:
# - Dashboard: http://localhost:8890
# - Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
# - Grafana: http://localhost:3000 (admin/mycelix123)

With Holochain (Future)¶

# Include Holochain conductor
docker-compose --profile holochain up -d

Docker Commands¶

# View running containers
docker-compose ps

# Stop all services
docker-compose down

# Stop and remove volumes
docker-compose down -v

# View resource usage
docker stats

# Execute command in container
docker-compose exec coordinator /bin/sh

☸️ Kubernetes Deployment¶

Prerequisites¶

Kubernetes cluster (1.20+)
kubectl configured
Helm 3 (optional)

Deploy to Kubernetes¶

1. Create Namespace¶

kubectl apply -f kubernetes/namespace.yaml

2. Build and Push Images¶

# Tag images for your registry
docker tag mycelix-coordinator:latest your-registry/mycelix-coordinator:latest
docker tag mycelix-dashboard:latest your-registry/mycelix-dashboard:latest
docker tag mycelix-agents:latest your-registry/mycelix-agents:latest

# Push to registry
docker push your-registry/mycelix-coordinator:latest
docker push your-registry/mycelix-dashboard:latest
docker push your-registry/mycelix-agents:latest

3. Update Image References¶

# Update image names in YAML files
sed -i 's|mycelix-|your-registry/mycelix-|g' kubernetes/*.yaml

4. Deploy Components¶

# Deploy coordinator
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/coordinator-deployment.yaml

# Deploy dashboard
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/dashboard-deployment.yaml

# Deploy agent StatefulSet
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/agents-statefulset.yaml

# Deploy autoscalers
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/horizontal-pod-autoscaler.yaml

5. Access Dashboard¶

# Get LoadBalancer IP (wait for EXTERNAL-IP)
kubectl get svc dashboard-service -n mycelix

# Or use port-forward for local access
kubectl port-forward -n mycelix svc/dashboard-service 8890:80

Kubernetes Management¶

Scale Agents¶

# Manual scaling
kubectl scale statefulset mycelix-agents -n mycelix --replicas=50

# This creates 50 pods × 100 agents = 5,000 agents!

Monitor Resources¶

# View pods
kubectl get pods -n mycelix

# View resource usage
kubectl top pods -n mycelix

# View HPA status
kubectl get hpa -n mycelix

# View logs
kubectl logs -n mycelix -l app=coordinator --tail=100
kubectl logs -n mycelix -l app=agents --tail=100

Update Deployment¶

# Update image
kubectl set image deployment/mycelix-dashboard dashboard=your-registry/mycelix-dashboard:v2 -n mycelix

# Rollout status
kubectl rollout status deployment/mycelix-dashboard -n mycelix

# Rollback if needed
kubectl rollout undo deployment/mycelix-dashboard -n mycelix

📊 Scale Testing¶

Docker Scale Test (1,000 Agents)¶

# Scale to 20 containers × 50 agents = 1,000 agents
docker-compose up -d --scale python-agents=20

# Monitor
docker stats
docker-compose logs -f python-agents

Kubernetes Scale Test (10,000 Agents)¶

# Scale to 100 pods × 100 agents = 10,000 agents
kubectl scale statefulset mycelix-agents -n mycelix --replicas=100

# Watch scaling
kubectl get pods -n mycelix -w

# Monitor HPA
kubectl get hpa agents-hpa -n mycelix -w

Load Testing Script¶

# Create load test script
cat > load-test.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
DASHBOARD_URL="http://localhost:8890"
WS_URL="ws://localhost:8889"

echo "Starting load test..."

# Spawn agents in parallel
for i in {1..100}; do
  (
    curl -X POST $DASHBOARD_URL/api/spawn-agents \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"count": 10, "type": "python"}'
  ) &
done

wait
echo "Load test complete!"
EOF

chmod +x load-test.sh
./load-test.sh

📈 Monitoring & Observability¶

Metrics Exposed¶

Coordinator Metrics (Port 9091)¶

mycelix_agents_total: Total number of agents
mycelix_rounds_completed: Training rounds completed

        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Logging¶

Docker Logs¶

# JSON logging driver
docker-compose logs --tail=100 -f coordinator | jq '.'

Kubernetes Logs¶

# Using stern for multi-pod logs
stern -n mycelix -l app=agents

# Or native kubectl
kubectl logs -n mycelix -l app=agents --tail=100 -f

🔒 Security Considerations¶

Network Policies¶

# kubernetes/network-policy.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: mycelix-network-policy
  namespace: mycelix
spec:
  podSelector: {}
  policyTypes:
  - Ingress
  - Egress
  ingress:
  - from:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchLabels:
          name: mycelix
  egress:
  - to:
    - namespaceSelector:
        matchLabels:
          name: mycelix

Secrets Management¶

# Create secrets for sensitive data
kubectl create secret generic mycelix-secrets \
  --from-literal=coordinator-key=your-secret-key \
  -n mycelix

🚦 Health Checks¶

Readiness Check Endpoints¶

Coordinator: TCP check on port 8889
Dashboard: HTTP GET / on port 8890
Agents: Custom /health endpoint

Liveness Probes¶

Restart containers if unhealthy for 3 consecutive checks
30-second initial delay for startup
10-second check interval

🔧 Troubleshooting¶

Common Issues¶

Pods in CrashLoopBackOff¶

# Check logs
kubectl logs -n mycelix pod-name --previous

# Describe pod
kubectl describe pod -n mycelix pod-name

Dashboard Can't Connect to Coordinator¶

# Check service endpoints
kubectl get endpoints -n mycelix

# Test connection
kubectl run -it --rm debug --image=busybox --restart=Never -n mycelix -- \
  wget -O- http://coordinator-service:8889

Out of Memory¶

# Increase resource limits
kubectl edit statefulset mycelix-agents -n mycelix
# Update resources.limits.memory

📊 Performance Benchmarks¶

Single Node Performance¶

Docker Desktop (8 CPU, 16GB RAM): 500 agents max
Local Server (32 CPU, 64GB RAM): 2,000 agents max

Kubernetes Cluster Performance¶
