BlackRoad OS - Complete Deployment Guide

🎯 Status: FULLY WIRED AND WORKING!

All components of BlackRoad OS are now wired together and functional:

✅ Backend API (FastAPI) running at localhost:8000 ✅ Frontend apps using unified API client (blackroad-api.js) ✅ Authentication system working (JWT tokens) ✅ AI Chat working with real backend ✅ Agent spawning working ✅ Payment integration ready ✅ Unified navigation across all apps (blackroad-nav.js) ✅ All apps deployed to https://blackroad.io via GitHub Pages

🏗️ Architecture

Backend (FastAPI)

• Location: /backend/main.py
• Port: 8000 (local), configurable via $PORT env var
• Features:
  • JWT authentication
  • AI chat with conversation management
  • Agent spawning and management
  • Blockchain transactions
  • Stripe payment integration
  • File management
  • Social feed
  • System stats

Frontend (Static HTML/JS)

• Hosting: GitHub Pages at https://blackroad.io
• API Client: blackroad-api.js (unified API wrapper)
• Navigation: blackroad-nav.js (shared navigation component)
• Apps:
  • index.html - Main app with auth and pricing
  • chat.html - AI chat interface
  • agents-live.html - Agent dashboard
  • blockchain-live.html - RoadChain explorer
  • files-live.html - File manager
  • social-live.html - Social network
  • wallet.html - Multi-wallet crypto
  • ledger.html - Ledger hardware wallet
  • integrations.html - External services
  • dashboard.html - Master control panel

🚀 Quick Start

1. Run Backend Locally

cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

Backend will run on http://localhost:8000

Test it:

curl http://localhost:8000/health

2. Open Frontend

# Frontend is already deployed at https://blackroad.io
# Or open local files
open index.html

Frontend automatically connects to:

• localhost:8000 when running locally
• https://api.blackroad.io when on production domain

3. Test Complete Flow

chmod +x test-api.sh
./test-api.sh

This will test:

• ✅ Health check
• ✅ User registration
• ✅ AI chat
• ✅ Agent spawning
• ✅ System stats

📦 Deploy Backend to Railway

Option 1: Via Railway CLI (requires login)

cd backend
railway login
railway init
railway up

Option 2: Via Railway Dashboard

1. Go to https://railway.app
2. Create new project
3. Connect to GitHub repo: blackboxprogramming/blackroad.io
4. Set root directory to /backend
5. Railway auto-detects Procfile and requirements.txt
6. Add environment variables:
   • SECRET_KEY - Your JWT secret
   • STRIPE_SECRET_KEY - Your Stripe key
7. Deploy!

Option 3: Deploy from this directory

# Create railway.toml in backend directory
cat > backend/railway.toml <<EOF
[build]
builder = "NIXPACKS"

[deploy]
startCommand = "uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port \$PORT"
healthcheckPath = "/health"
healthcheckTimeout = 100
restartPolicyType = "ON_FAILURE"
EOF

cd backend
railway up

🔧 Environment Variables

Backend

SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here  # JWT signing key
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...    # Stripe secret key
PORT=8000                         # Port (Railway sets this)

Frontend (no env vars needed)

Frontend configuration is in blackroad-api.js:

this.API_BASE = window.location.hostname === 'localhost'
  ? 'http://localhost:8000'
  : 'https://api.blackroad.io';

🌐 Production Deployment

Backend

1. Deploy to Railway (see above)
2. Get deployment URL (e.g., https://blackroad-api.up.railway.app)
3. Create CNAME: api.blackroad.io → Railway URL
4. Update blackroad-api.js if needed

Frontend

Already deployed to https://blackroad.io via GitHub Pages!

Every git push to main automatically deploys:

git add .
git commit -m "Update frontend"
git push origin main
# Wait 1-2 minutes for GitHub Pages to update

🔐 SSL/HTTPS Setup

Frontend (GitHub Pages)

✅ Already has SSL via GitHub Pages

Backend (Railway)

✅ Railway provides automatic HTTPS

Custom Domain (api.blackroad.io)

1. Add CNAME record: api.blackroad.io → your-app.up.railway.app
2. In Railway dashboard, add custom domain
3. Wait for DNS propagation (~5 minutes)

📊 Monitoring

Backend Health

curl https://api.blackroad.io/health
curl https://api.blackroad.io/api/system/stats

Check Deployment Status

# Railway
cd backend
railway status

# GitHub Pages
git push origin main
# Check https://github.com/blackboxprogramming/blackroad.io/actions

🧪 Testing

API Tests

./test-api.sh

Manual Testing

1. Registration: https://blackroad.io → Register
2. Login: Use registered credentials
3. Chat: https://blackroad.io/chat.html → Send message
4. Agents: https://blackroad.io/agents-live.html → Spawn agent
5. Payments: Click pricing tier → Create checkout

🔄 Update Workflow

🚨 Troubleshooting

Backend won't start

cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py
# Check for errors

Frontend can't connect to backend

1. Check backend is running: curl http://localhost:8000/health
2. Check CORS settings in backend/main.py
3. Check API_BASE in blackroad-api.js

Railway deployment fails

1. Check Procfile exists
2. Check requirements.txt is valid
3. Check Railway logs: railway logs

Authentication not working

1. Check localStorage for blackroad_auth_token
2. Check JWT expiration (24 hours default)
3. Test /api/auth/me endpoint
