# First-run setup (fresh-deploy bootstrap)
|
|
|
|
How to bring a fresh hyperhive hive online: provision accounts, open
|
|
the gateway, make matrix reachable, and spawn the first sub-agents.
|
|
|
|
Aimed at `ruth` (the root/manager agent) on a fresh deploy, but it's a
|
|
plain reference doc — read it whenever you need the bootstrap command
|
|
sequence. All `hivectl` commands below run as **root on the host** (not
|
|
inside an agent container); the `request_*` steps run from ruth's own
|
|
turn via the MCP tools.
|
|
|
|
## Step-by-step
|
|
|
|
### 1 · Forge
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Provision (or refresh) ruth's own forge account — do this first
|
|
hivectl forge create-user ruth
|
|
|
|
# Create a human operator account (prints the token to stdout)
|
|
hivectl forge create-user mara --password hunter2
|
|
|
|
# Provision forge accounts for any sub-agents spawned later
|
|
hivectl forge create-user <agent>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2 · Gateway (HTTP Basic auth)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Add an operator login to the gateway (reads password from stdin)
|
|
echo "hunter2" | hivectl gateway create-user mara --password-stdin
|
|
|
|
# List existing users
|
|
hivectl gateway list-users
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3 · Matrix
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 3a. Ensure the hive-internal admin account exists first
|
|
hivectl matrix sync-admin
|
|
|
|
# 3b. Provision ruth's own matrix account
|
|
hivectl matrix create-user ruth
|
|
|
|
# 3c. Create a human matrix account
|
|
hivectl matrix create-user mara --password hunter2
|
|
|
|
# 3d. Invite the operator to the hive Space (and optionally to rooms)
|
|
hivectl matrix invite mara
|
|
hivectl matrix invite @mara:yourserver --room '#hive-chat:yourserver'
|
|
|
|
# 3e. Promote the operator to homeserver admin if needed
|
|
hivectl matrix promote-user mara
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4 · Spawn sub-agents
|
|
|
|
Sub-agent creation goes through the approval queue — ruth proposes, the
|
|
operator approves, the container builds. From ruth's own turn (inside
|
|
the container, via MCP tools):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Step 1: initialise a new agent's config repo
|
|
request_init_config(name: "iris")
|
|
# → operator approves → config_ready event lands in the inbox
|
|
|
|
# Step 2: edit /agents/iris/config/agent.nix and commit it. Then the
|
|
# operator spawns iris (dashboard ◆ R3QU3ST SP4WN / Spawn approval),
|
|
# which builds + starts the container from that config.
|
|
|
|
# Later config changes: open a PR on agent-configs/iris (hive-forge);
|
|
# the operator reviews + approves it — no MCP tool call.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [`approvals.md`](approvals.md) for the full flow.
|
|
|
|
### 5 · Useful host commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Roster: all agents, status, rev, parent, pending reminders
|
|
hivectl agents list
|
|
|
|
# Restart a stuck container (no rebuild)
|
|
hivectl agents restart <agent>
|
|
|
|
# Open a Claude session inside an agent's container
|
|
hivectl choom <agent>
|
|
|
|
# Open hive web surfaces in a browser (or just print the URLs)
|
|
hivectl open # operator dashboard
|
|
hivectl open forge # Forgejo
|
|
hivectl open matrix # Matrix GUI (fluffychat)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [`tools/hivectl.md`](tools/hivectl.md) for every `hivectl` verb.
|
|
|
|
## Security notes
|
|
|
|
- **No forge admin token is stored in any agent state dir.** Agents
|
|
hold a regular agent token in their `forge-token` file; sensitive
|
|
creds (the core token, the matrix admin token) live on the host.
|
|
- All config changes (forge PRs on `agent-configs/<name>`) go through
|
|
operator approval — agents can't unilaterally rebuild containers, by design.
|
|
See [`boundary.md`](boundary.md) and [`security.md`](security.md).
|
|
|
|
Once the hive is running, ruth records anything it needs to remember
|
|
across restarts in `/agents/ruth/state/notes.md`.
