Overview

This document tracks the deployment status of all BlackRoad OS services across the distributed infrastructure.

Service Registry

According to infra/DNS.md and INFRASTRUCTURE.md, BlackRoad OS consists of 9 core services:

Service	DNS	Railway URL	Satellite Repo	Monorepo Path	Status
Operator	operator.blackroad.systems	blackroad-os-operator-production-3983.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-operator	/operator_engine	⚠️ 403
Core API	core.blackroad.systems	9gw4d0h2.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-core	/services/core-api	⚠️ Unreachable
Public API	api.blackroad.systems	ac7bx15h.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-api	/services/public-api	⚠️ 403
App/Shell	app.blackroad.systems	blackroad-operating-system-production.up.railway.app	blackroad-operating-system	/backend	⚠️ 403
Console	console.blackroad.systems	qqr1r4hd.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-prism-console	/prism-console	⚠️ 403
Docs	docs.blackroad.systems	2izt9kog.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-docs	/docs	⚠️ 403
Web Client	web.blackroad.systems	blackroad-os-web-production-3bbb.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-web	/web-client	⚠️ 403
OS Interface	os.blackroad.systems	vtrb1hrx.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-interface	/blackroad-os	⚠️ 403
Root	blackroad.systems	kng9hpna.up.railway.app	blackroad-os-root	N/A	⚠️ 403

Status Legend

• ✅ Healthy: Service responding with 200 OK on /health endpoint
• ⚠️ Forbidden (403): Service exists but Cloudflare is blocking access
• ❌ Unreachable: Cannot connect to service (DNS or Railway issue)
• 🚧 Not Deployed: Service code exists in monorepo but not deployed
• 📝 Stub Only: Only README or placeholder exists

Current Issues

Issue 1: Cloudflare Access Control (403 Errors)

Symptoms:

• All services (except core) return "Access denied" or 403 Forbidden
• Services are reachable but blocked by Cloudflare

Likely Causes:

1. Cloudflare WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules blocking requests
2. Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode enabled
3. IP-based rate limiting
4. Cloudflare Access authentication required

Resolution Steps:

# 1. Check Cloudflare WAF rules
# Visit: https://dash.cloudflare.com → Security → WAF

# 2. Temporarily disable Bot Fight Mode to test
# Visit: https://dash.cloudflare.com → Security → Bots

# 3. Check Firewall Rules
# Visit: https://dash.cloudflare.com → Security → Firewall Rules

# 4. Verify CNAME records are proxied (orange cloud)
# Visit: https://dash.cloudflare.com → DNS → Records

Issue 2: Core API Unreachable (000 Error)

Symptoms:

• core.blackroad.systems returns connection error
• Railway URL 9gw4d0h2.up.railway.app may not be responding

Likely Causes:

1. Railway service not running
2. Railway URL changed
3. DNS CNAME pointing to wrong URL
4. Service crashed or failed to deploy

Resolution Steps:

# 1. Check Railway service status
railway status --service blackroad-os-core-production

# 2. View logs
railway logs --service blackroad-os-core-production

# 3. Redeploy if needed
cd /path/to/blackroad-os-core
git push origin main

# 4. Verify CNAME in Cloudflare
dig core.blackroad.systems CNAME

   • Action Needed: Create simple static server with health endpoints

7. Docs (/docs/):

   • 📝 Documentation files exist but no server
   • Action Needed: Create static doc server with health endpoints

8. OS Interface (/blackroad-os/):

   • ⚠️ May be superseded by /backend/static/
   • Action Needed: Clarify if separate from app.blackroad.systems

9. Root (blackroad.systems):

   • ❌ No implementation in monorepo
   • Action Needed: Create landing page service

Hello World Test Plan

To verify all services can respond with "Hello World":

Phase 1: Verify Existing Implementations (Monorepo)

# 1. Test Core API locally
cd /home/user/BlackRoad-Operating-System/services/core-api
uvicorn app.main:app --port 8000
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# 2. Test Public API locally
cd /home/user/BlackRoad-Operating-System/services/public-api
uvicorn app.main:app --port 8001
curl http://localhost:8001/health

# 3. Test Operator locally
cd /home/user/BlackRoad-Operating-System/operator_engine
python server.py
curl http://localhost:8001/health

# 4. Test Prism Console locally
cd /home/user/BlackRoad-Operating-System/prism-console
python server.py
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# 5. Test App/Shell locally
cd /home/user/BlackRoad-Operating-System/backend
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
curl http://localhost:8000/health

Phase 2: Create Missing Service Implementations

See templates/service-template/ for a minimal FastAPI service template with:

• /health endpoint
• /version endpoint
• /v1/sys/identity endpoint (syscall API compliance)
• CORS configuration
• Railway deployment support

Phase 3: Fix Cloudflare Access Control

1. Access Cloudflare dashboard for blackroad.systems
2. Navigate to Security → WAF
3. Review and adjust rules to allow health check endpoints
4. Consider creating exception rule for /health and /version paths

Phase 4: Verify Production Deployment

# Run the comprehensive service checker
bash scripts/check_all_services.sh

# Expected output:
# Testing https://operator.blackroad.systems ... ✓ HEALTHY
# Testing https://core.blackroad.systems ... ✓ HEALTHY
# Testing https://api.blackroad.systems ... ✓ HEALTHY
# ... (all services should show ✓ HEALTHY)

Syscall API Compliance

According to SYSCALL_API.md, all services MUST implement:

Required Endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Purpose	Status
/health	GET	Basic health check	⚠️ Exists but 403
/version	GET	Version info	⚠️ Exists but 403
/v1/sys/identity	GET	Service identity	❌ Not implemented
/v1/sys/health	GET	Detailed health	❌ Not implemented
/v1/sys/rpc	POST	Inter-service RPC	❌ Not implemented

Implementation Status

• Core API: Has /health and /version, missing syscall endpoints
• Public API: Has /health and /version, missing syscall endpoints
• Operator: Has /health and /version, missing syscall endpoints
• Prism Console: Has /health and /version, missing syscall endpoints
• App/Shell: Has health via router, missing syscall endpoints
• Others: Not yet implemented

Next Steps for Syscall Compliance

1. Add TypeScript kernel to all satellite repos (from /kernel/typescript/)
2. Implement /v1/sys/* endpoints in each service
3. Add RPC client for inter-service communication
4. Implement service registry lookups
5. Add event bus and job queue support

Recommended Actions

Immediate (Fix 403 Errors)

1. Review Cloudflare Security Settings:

   • Check WAF rules
   • Review Bot Fight Mode settings
   • Verify rate limiting configuration
   • Ensure health check paths are whitelisted

2. Test Direct Railway URLs:

   # Bypass Cloudflare by testing Railway URLs directly
   curl https://blackroad-os-operator-production-3983.up.railway.app/health
   curl https://9gw4d0h2.up.railway.app/health
   curl https://ac7bx15h.up.railway.app/health
   

3. Update Cloudflare Firewall Rules:

   • Create exception for /health endpoint
   • Create exception for /version endpoint
   • Allow all HTTP methods on syscall paths

Short Term (Complete Missing Services)

1. Create Web Client Service:

   • Simple static file server
   • Health and version endpoints
   • Sync to blackroad-os-web satellite

2. Create Docs Service:

   • Markdown renderer or static site
   • Health and version endpoints
   • Sync to blackroad-os-docs satellite

3. Create Root Landing Page:

   • Simple welcome page for blackroad.systems
   • Links to all services
   • Service status dashboard

Medium Term (Syscall API Compliance)

1. Integrate TypeScript Kernel:

   • Copy /kernel/typescript/ to each satellite
   • Implement syscall endpoints
   • Add RPC client support

2. Service Discovery:

   • Implement service registry lookups
   • Use Railway internal DNS for inter-service communication
   • Add health checks for dependencies

3. Monitoring & Observability:

   • Add structured logging
   • Implement metrics collection
   • Create service dependency graph

Testing Checklist

• All services respond to /health with 200 OK
• All services respond to /version with version info
• All services return "Hello World" or equivalent on root path
• Cloudflare is not blocking legitimate traffic
• Railway services are all running
• DNS CNAME records are correct
• Satellite repos are in sync with monorepo
• Each service has proper CORS configuration
• Each service implements syscall API endpoints
• Inter-service RPC communication works
