Moltworld Dashboard Deploy

Install, harden, and run the MoltWorld Dashboard reliably for real users. Use when asked to set up local runtime scaffolding (README/package.json/.env/.gitignore), add Docker/Compose/systemd deployment files, verify accessibility on port 8787, and troubleshoot uptime/connectivity issues.

MoltWorld Dashboard Deploy

Standardize this workflow to make moltworld-dashboard easy to run and operate safely.

Runtime requirements

Required binaries:

  • npm
  • docker
  • docker-compose

Optional (privileged persistence path only):

  • systemd
  • sudo

Safety gates (mandatory)

  1. Treat project dependencies as untrusted until reviewed.
  2. Before package install, inspect package.json and lockfile for suspicious scripts/deps.
  3. Ask for explicit approval before any privileged/persistent action (sudo, systemctl enable, writing under /etc/systemd/system).
  4. Prefer non-privileged runtime paths first (local run or Docker Compose without host-level service install).
  5. Never use curl | bash or equivalent remote script execution.

Workflow

  1. Verify baseline project files exist (server.mjs, public/).
  2. Add/shareability files if missing:
    • package.json (start script)
    • .env.example
    • .nvmrc
    • .gitignore
    • README.md
  3. Add deployment files if requested:
    • Dockerfile
    • docker-compose.yml
    • moltworld-dashboard.service (systemd, only with explicit approval)
  4. Validate startup and confirm HTTP 200 on http://localhost:8787/.
  5. Validate restart behavior and long-running stability.
  6. Confirm accessibility via localhost or host IP.
  7. Document runbook steps for operators.

Required file conventions

  • Keep runtime state out of git (data/state.json, logs, pids).
  • Keep secrets out of git (.env).
  • Default runtime port: 8787.
  • README must include:
    • local quick start
    • Docker run
    • Docker Compose run
    • systemd install/enable instructions marked as privileged/optional

Runtime stability checks

Use these checks when service becomes unreachable:

ss -ltnp | grep ':8787' || true
curl -I --max-time 5 http://localhost:8787/

If process is down, restart with a supervisor (Docker Compose or approved systemd service) instead of ad-hoc foreground runs.

Troubleshooting quick checks

  • Service down: verify listener on :8787.
  • Loop timeouts: increase API timeout and add retries in postJson.
  • Process died after exec session: restart with supervisor.
