Body

CT103 (Cortex Production Host)

Purpose

CT103 is the production LXC container hosting Cortex v1 — the lab's memory, knowledge-base, and embedding-query backend. It also hosts several supporting services (UAPI adapter, Switchboard agent, Skipper, nginx, telemetry) and the datastores (Qdrant, Postgres, Redis) that back Cortex.

Current State

• Status: active, production.
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (LXC on Forge).
• LAN: 10.0.0.103/24.
• Mesh: 100.119.15.216/16 on wt0; tailscale0 also present.
• Services: cortex-admin, cortex-memory, cortex-embed, qdrant, postgresql, redis-server, UAPI (uapi.service on 0.0.0.0:3111), UAI Switchboard agent, Skipper, product services, telemetry, nginx.
• Audit-before-change: CT103 is a "audit before change" host — do not restart Cortex or datastore services casually.

Key Components / Locations

• Cortex source: /root/cortex-v3.
• Cortex env files (secret-bearing, filename only): /etc/cortex/admin.env, /etc/cortex/memory.env, /etc/cortex/embed.env.
• UAPI adapter: /root/diffuser on port 0.0.0.0:3111; endpoints /api/cortex/{store,retrieve,list,delete,clear,quota}.
• UAPI env (secret-bearing, filename only): /root/diffuser/.env.

Relationships

• Hosts: uai-doc-ecosystem-product-cortex-v1.
• Called by: uai-doc-ecosystem-product-cadence-v6 (memory-bridge), other Cortex consumers.
• Managed by: uai-doc-ecosystem-product-switchboard (registered as ct103-cortex-prod at 10.0.0.103:22).
• Embedding worker host: Echo RTX3060 (separate Proxmox node, not in this batch).

Status

active — production (audit before change).
