Deployment Notes
Two active environments share one Convex deployment (dev:befitting-dalmatian-161). Each runs its own web server, Flue agents process, and .env file.

Shared Convex deployment
Deployment name: dev:befitting-dalmatian-161 Convex URL: https://befitting-dalmatian-161.convex.cloud Convex Site URL: https://befitting-dalmatian-161.convex.site
Convex env vars are deployment-scoped, not per-machine. Authenticate from any machine with npx convex dev inside packages/backend.
Key Convex env var:
SITE_URL = <the origin Better Auth should trust>
This controls trustedOrigins in the Better Auth config (packages/backend/convex/auth.ts). It must match the URL the browser actually visits, or sign-in fails silently with a CORS rejection.
When switching between environments:
cd packages/backend
# For local Mac testing:
npx convex env set SITE_URL 'http://100.101.157.28:5173'
# For Cheaptricks staging:
npx convex env set SITE_URL 'https://zopu.cheaptricks.puter.wtf'
OAuth consequence
SITE_URL drives both Better Auth's public callback origin and the single GitHub OAuth App callback. When switching the shared deployment between the local and staging origins, also update the GitHub OAuth App's Authorization callback URL to <SITE_URL>/api/auth/callback/github before attempting a GitHub connection. GitHub OAuth Apps allow one callback URL; use distinct Convex deployments and OAuth Apps if both environments must operate concurrently.

Both bind 0.0.0.0 so they are reachable over Tailscale from a phone.

Caddy config

# Must precede the generic /api route: preserves /api/auth/* and cookies.
handle /api/auth/* {

}
handle_path /api/* {

}
/api/auth/* is the same-origin Better Auth proxy to Convex. The generic /api/* route serves Flue at port 3585; it must be evaluated only after the authentication route.
Reload after changes:
sudo systemctl reload caddy
Vite allowedHosts
apps/web/vite.config.ts must include server: { allowedHosts: true } or Vite rejects requests arriving through the Caddy domain.
Start staging dev
ssh cheaptricks
export PATH=$PATH:/workspace/.bun/bin
cd /workspace/code
# Pull latest
git pull origin feat/web-integrarion
bun install
# Start both processes with nohup so they survive SSH disconnect
nohup bun run dev:tailscale:agents -- --port 3585 > /tmp/zopu-agents.log 2>&1 &
nohup bun run dev:tailscale:web > /tmp/zopu-web.log 2>&1 &
Before testing on staging, flip the Convex SITE_URL:
cd packages/backend && npx convex env set SITE_URL 'https://zopu.cheaptricks.puter.wtf'
Verify staging
curl -sS -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' https://zopu.cheaptricks.puter.wtf/
# expect: 200
curl -sS -D - -o /dev/null \
'https://befitting-dalmatian-161.convex.site/api/auth/get-session' \
-H 'Origin: https://zopu.cheaptricks.puter.wtf' | grep access-control-allow-origin
# expect: access-control-allow-origin: https://zopu.cheaptricks.puter.wtf
Model configuration
Both environments use the same model via the Cheaptricks AI gateway:
- Provider identity:
xiaomi(Flue catalog maps this to MiMo multimodal metadata) - Model:
mimo-v2.5 - API protocol:
openai-completions - Context window:
1048576 - Max output tokens:
131072 - Multimodal: text + image input
The AGENT_MODEL_BASE_URL differs:
- Local Mac: uses the external gateway URL
- Cheaptricks: uses
https://ai.cheaptricks.puter.wtf/v1(local to the box)
Known gotchas
-
Convex
SITE_URLis single-valued and is the OAuth callback origin. Switch it together with the GitHub OAuth App's single callback URL when moving between local and staging. Running both origins concurrently requires separate Convex deployments and OAuth Apps. -
Vite blocks unknown hosts by default. Caddy domain must be allowed via
server.allowedHostsinapps/web/vite.config.ts. -
Flue port changed from 3583 to 3585. The old Caddy config pointed at 3583/13100. Current ports are 3585 (Flue) and 5173 (web).
-
.envis gitignored. Each machine maintains its own copy. The repo ships.env.exampleas the template. -
Convex CLI auth is per-machine. Run
npx convex devonce insidepackages/backendon each new machine to authenticate the CLI.
