HWLAB Deployment And Publish Reference
This reference records the stable DEV publish and rollout rules. It does not
authorize PROD, service restarts outside the documented DEV path, secret reads,
or direct pushes to main.
It is also the long-term reference for pikasTech/HWLAB#116: service deployment regularization must progress from stable docs, to controlled CLI/script entrypoints, to UniDesk CI/CD plus imageized delivery.
Workspaces
| Purpose | Path |
|---|---|
| Runner and commander worktree | /workspace/hwlab |
| D601 publish/build worktree | /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab |
Use /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab for D601 build and rollout operations.
Do not treat /home/ubuntu/hwlab or other runner worktrees as the publishing
truth.
Regularization Stages
| Stage | Current HWLAB state | Required next behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Long-term reference | This file records DEV deployment, Cloud Web publish, API/edge/health, frp, D601 registry, k3s rollout, rollback, and verification rules. AGENTS.md indexes it. |
Keep process issues as sources only; update this reference when a deployment rule changes. |
| 2. CLI or controlled scripts | Existing controlled entrypoints cover contract planning, desired-state planning, artifact publish, DEV apply/report, k3s read-only visibility, and Cloud Web checks. Rollback is documented as commands/report hints but is not yet one unified CLI command. | Converge check, plan, publish, apply, rollback, status, and verify into HWLAB CLI or a small controlled script surface backed by deploy/deploy.json. |
| 3. UniDesk CI/CD plus images | DEV services are imageized and published to the D601 registry. D601 rollout still includes manual bridge steps for Cloud Web and frp/k3s execution. | Move build, publish, desired-state refresh, rollout, post-deploy validation, and report upload into standard UniDesk CI/CD jobs without replacing HWLAB runtime. |
Artifact Publish
DEV artifacts publish to the D601 local/internal registry:
127.0.0.1:5000/hwlab/*
The stable publish command is:
node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish
For a single Cloud Web image:
node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/check.mjs
node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/build.mjs
node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish --services hwlab-cloud-web
Cloud Web must build web/hwlab-cloud-web/dist before publish because the
runtime wrapper serves dist before source files. A correct source commit with
stale dist can still publish an old UI. The build/check pair is part of the
publish contract, but with separate responsibilities: check.mjs validates
source and does not require ignored dist/ in a clean checkout. build.mjs
regenerates dist and verifies every runtime file and route alias matches
source. scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs runs that build/freshness gate and
records the distFreshness result before it builds the image.
After a successful multi-service publish, refresh the artifact catalog from the publish report:
node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --publish-report reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json
node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --promotion-commit $(git rev-parse --short=7 origin/main) --check
If publish is blocked, keep the report blocked rather than inventing digests:
node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --blocked
node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --promotion-commit $(git rev-parse --short=7 origin/main) --check
The desired-state files are a single deployment truth: deploy/deploy.json,
deploy/artifact-catalog.dev.json, and deploy/k8s/base/workloads.yaml must
carry the same promotion commit and immutable image tag before they are used as
apply input. A --target-ref desired-state plan may report a uniform older
state as promotion_pending; PR review and CI/CD promotion gates must use
--promotion-commit <sha> --check so stale or partially refreshed commit,
image, workload, and mirror-env fields are blocked before any DEV apply.
Reports under reports/ are evidence snapshots only and cannot override this
desired-state contract.
Latest-Main Artifact/Runtime Guard
Before any controlled DEV apply for latest origin/main, run the read-only
artifact/runtime guard:
node scripts/artifact-runtime-readiness-guard.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check --no-report
When current readiness is expected to be blocked, use:
node scripts/artifact-runtime-readiness-guard.mjs --target-ref origin/main --check --no-report --expect-blocked
The guard compares target main, reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json,
deploy/artifact-catalog.dev.json, the desired-state planner, Cloud API
/health/live, and Cloud Web :16666/health/live. It is report-only and must
not be used as an apply command. A local source check, static workbench smoke,
or stale report snapshot cannot claim latest-main deployment unless the guard's
runtime and artifact identity checks also pass.
API, Edge, Health, And FRP
The public route is fixed:
| Surface | Current entry |
|---|---|
| Cloud Web | http://74.48.78.17:16666/ |
| Cloud Web live health | http://74.48.78.17:16666/health/live |
| API/edge health | http://74.48.78.17:16667/health |
| API/live health | http://74.48.78.17:16667/health/live |
FRP maps master public 16666/16667 to D601 hwlab-dev services. Use
deploy/deploy.json as the source for endpoint and FRP drift checks:
node scripts/deploy-contract-plan.mjs --check
Do not reintroduce public 6666/6667 as active DEV endpoints. Internal k3s
services may still use internal 6667.
Cloud Web Manual DEV Rollout
The verified manual path for hwlab-cloud-web is:
cd /home/ubuntu/workspace/hwlab
git pull --ff-only origin main
node web/hwlab-cloud-web/scripts/build.mjs
node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish --services hwlab-cloud-web
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev set image deployment/hwlab-cloud-web hwlab-cloud-web=127.0.0.1:5000/hwlab/hwlab-cloud-web:<tag>
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout status deployment/hwlab-cloud-web --timeout=180s
The rollout must use D601 native k3s:
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev get deploy hwlab-cloud-web -o wide
The rollout report must tie the live deployment back to artifact identity:
source commit, image tag, image reference, registry digest or not_published,
and Kubernetes rollout revision. scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs reports this
under devDeployApply.cloudWebRollout when read-only Deployment access exists;
without that access, it reports the blocker and the exact read/rollout commands
instead of claiming a live rollout.
Public verification must check the browser entry on 16666, not legacy
ports:
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/health/live
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/ | sed -n '1,80p'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/styles.css | rg 'overflow: hidden|100dvh'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16666/help.md | sed -n '1,40p'
curl -fsS http://74.48.78.17:16667/health/live
Cloud Workbench acceptance also expects Chinese default UI, no outer page scroll, and an internal Markdown help surface. The frontend contract is cloud-workbench.md.
Apply Boundary
scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs is the DEV-only apply/report path. A real apply
requires explicit non-production flags:
node scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report
The apply path must stop before mutation when artifact evidence, registry digests, kube access, DEV health, or required runtime readiness are missing. It must not read secret values or target PROD.
Suspended template Jobs are immutable in spec.template. Only the explicit
DEV allowlist may be replaced by the apply script:
hwlab-agent-worker-templatehwlab-cli-template
Rollback Boundary
Rollback remains DEV-only and must be explicit. Capture current image state before changing a workload:
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev get deploy hwlab-cloud-web -o wide
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout history deployment/hwlab-cloud-web
For a Deployment rolled by set image, use Kubernetes rollout undo only for
the same DEV Deployment:
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout undo deployment/hwlab-cloud-web
KUBECONFIG=/etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout status deployment/hwlab-cloud-web --timeout=180s
After rollback, repeat public verification on 16666 and 16667. Do not use
rollback to change PROD, read secrets, restart unrelated services, or conceal
an artifact/report mismatch.
Controlled Entrypoint Design
The #116 target is a single controlled deployment surface. Until that lands, use the repo-owned scripts below instead of ad hoc shell fragments.
| Action | Current controlled entrypoint | Gap to close |
|---|---|---|
| Check deployment contract and FRP/endpoint drift | node scripts/deploy-contract-plan.mjs --check |
Fold into hwlab deploy check --env dev. |
| Plan desired image/workload state | node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --plan --pretty and node scripts/deploy-desired-state-plan.mjs --promotion-commit <sha> --check |
Fold into hwlab deploy plan --env dev --file deploy/deploy.json with a promotion commit gate. |
| Preflight artifact publish | node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --preflight |
Keep as backend for hwlab artifact publish --preflight. |
| Publish DEV images | node scripts/dev-artifact-publish.mjs --publish |
CI job should run this and upload digest reports. |
| Refresh catalog/desired state | node scripts/refresh-artifact-catalog.mjs --target-ref origin/main --publish-report reports/dev-gate/dev-artifacts.json |
Make refresh an explicit CLI/CD step after publish. |
| Apply DEV rollout | node scripts/dev-deploy-apply.mjs --apply --confirm-dev --confirmed-non-production --write-report |
Keep apply behind confirmation flags and route through CLI/CD approval. |
| Roll back DEV Deployment | kubectl -n hwlab-dev rollout undo deployment/<name> with explicit D601 kubeconfig |
Add hwlab deploy rollback --env dev --service <id> --to-revision <n>. |
| Verify status | curl checks plus node scripts/d601-k3s-readonly-observability.mjs |
Add hwlab deploy verify --env dev --write-report. |
Automation Direction
The stable direction from
pikasTech/HWLAB#61 and
pikasTech/HWLAB#116 is to
converge manual operations into CLI plus deploy/deploy.json, then run that
surface from UniDesk CI/CD:
- render and verify frps/frpc from the deploy manifest;
- publish images and write digest reports;
- refresh catalog/workload desired state from the publish report;
- apply DEV with immutable Job replacement policy;
- verify
16666Cloud Web and16667/health/liveAPI; - invalidate or regenerate active reports after endpoint or artifact changes.
UniDesk CI/CD is infrastructure only. It may schedule build/publish/deploy
jobs and store artifacts, but it must not replace hwlab-cloud-api,
hwlab-cloud-web, hwlab-router, hwlab-patch-panel, simulators, gateways,
or agent services as the runtime being validated.
