NUC-IPEX (Windows operator workstation)

Primary operator workstation; Windows 11 build 26200; LAN 10.0.0.99; reachable from Beacon via reverse SSH tunnel on localhost:22099 (alias ssh nuc-via-reverse); tunnel NUC-initiated.

Body

NUC-IPEX (Windows Operator Workstation)

Purpose

NUC-IPEX is the operator's primary workstation — a Windows 11 machine that hosts Cadence/Director source, the master lab runbook, the runbook corpus, and the operator's project files. From the production Beacon VPS, NUC-IPEX is reachable only via a NUC-initiated reverse SSH tunnel.

Current State

  • Status: active.
  • OS: Windows 11 (build 26200).
  • Hostname: NUC-IPEX; user nuc-ipex\scott (Windows local admin).
  • LAN: 10.0.0.99/24.
  • Tailscale (legacy): 100.118.188.107/32.
  • Mesh peer: desktop-as09l7o.netbird.cloud — frequently Idle (SSO expired; operator action to re-login).
  • Reverse tunnel: NUC-initiated, lands on Beacon localhost:22099.
  • Tunnel caveats: drops if the NUC reboots or the tunnel process dies; must be re-established from the NUC side, not from Beacon.

Key Components

  • Reach from Beacon: ssh nuc-via-reverse (alias) or explicit ssh -p 22099 scott@127.0.0.1.
  • Lab runbook (master, mirrored to CT105): the canonical UAI-Lab-Access-and-Server-Setup-Runbook.md.
  • Project source: Cadence/Director source tree, runbook corpus, research map, key notes (all operator-private; not cataloged raw).
  • SSH admin keys: in the Windows Administrators authorized_keys path (NOT the per-user authorized_keys — the latter is ignored for admin users on Windows).

Relationships

  • Operator workstation for: every product in this catalog.
  • Source host for: uai-doc-ecosystem-product-cadence-v6 (production source lives here, mirrored to Beacon).
  • Registered in: uai-doc-ecosystem-product-switchboard as nuc-conductor (reverse-tunneled via 127.0.0.1:22099).
  • Reachable via: reverse tunnel from the Beacon VPS (uai-doc-ecosystem-product-beacon-v1).

Status

active.
