PowerSentry Deploy — Control Panel (UI Daemon)

Overview

Deploys the PowerSentry control panel on a server (e.g., dk1). The control panel includes:

WebSocket Server (:8765): Receives real-time metrics from worker agents
HTTP Server (:8080): Serves the web dashboard and REST API
Central Database (SQLite): Stores all worker data
Web UI (Vue 3 + Tailwind + DaisyUI): Real-time dashboard

Prerequisites

SSH access to the target server (e.g., dk1@92.113.145.178)
SSH key for the target server
Python 3 on the target
WebSocket port :8765 and HTTP port :8080 must be open/forwarded

.env Configuration

# proxmox-power-monitor/.env
DK1_HOST=<control-panel-ip>         # Public IP or hostname of the control panel server
DK1_USER=<ssh-username>             # SSH username (e.g., dk1 for dk1 VM)

Deployment Steps

1. Run deploy-control-panel script

cd proxmox-power-monitor
./deploy-control-panel.sh <control-panel-host>
# Example: ./deploy-control-panel.sh 92.113.145.178

The script will:

Load .env if present
Check connectivity to the target
Verify Python 3 availability
Install websockets Python package
Create remote directories
Copy control-panel/server/server.py to the target
Copy control-panel/ui/index.html to the target
Create a systemd user service (powersency-control-panel)
Reload systemd and enable the service

2. SSH into the control panel server

ssh <user>@<control-panel-host>

3. Start the control panel

systemctl --user start powersency-control-panel
systemctl --user status powersency-control-panel

4. Access the web UI

Open http://<control-panel-host>:8080 in a browser.

Service Management

# Check status
systemctl --user status powersency-control-panel

# View logs
journalctl -u powersency-control-panel -f

# Restart
systemctl --user restart powersency-control-panel

# Stop
systemctl --user stop powersency-control-panel

Connecting Workers

Once the control panel is running, workers can connect by specifying the WebSocket URL:

# On each worker (Proxmox host, jump host, etc.)
python3 cli.py install --control-panel=ws://<control-panel-host>:8765/worker
python3 cli.py start

Troubleshooting

Web UI not accessible:

# Check HTTP server is listening
netstat -tlnp | grep 8080

# Check service logs
journalctl -u powersency-control-panel -f

Workers not connecting:

# Check WebSocket server is listening
netstat -tlnp | grep 8765

# Test WebSocket connection
wscat -c ws://<control-panel>:8765/worker

# Check firewall
iptables -L

Ports not accessible:

Ensure ports 8080 and 8765 are open in any firewall
For cloud VMs, check security group/network ACL rules
Use SSH port forwarding for testing: ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 <user>@<host>
