Service READMEs now cover only what the service is and how to deploy it.
Known issues, log noise and troubleshooting move to docs/<service>/, named
after the service directory, so editing them never redeploys the service.
Drop alloy's validate workflow, which never ran from a subdirectory.
A service README now describes only its own service: no links to other
services or to the root, and no restating of the shared conventions that
the root README and CLAUDE.md already carry. Each service is a separate
Coolify app on a <service>/** watch path, so a cross-link made editing one
service redeploy another. The rule is recorded at the root; the alloy
compose comment now points at a heading that exists.
Coolify injects the same value when a compose service omits one, but Dokploy
runs the file as written, so in its default compose mode an omitted policy
leaves the container down after a crash or a host reboot.
The base image ships /home/paseo owned by uid 1000 and declares it a
volume, so a fresh named volume is seeded with that ownership, and the
base entrypoint chowns it and the agent config directories when they are
not.
The image installs python, gh, glab, build-essential, sudo, zsh and nano
only; go or a jvm goes into $HOME from a terminal instead.
SHELL and TZ are written into compose.yml rather than read from .env, so
the deploying shell's own values can no longer win over them.
The entrypoint calls chpasswd, chown and gosu by absolute path, tolerates
a chpasswd failure instead of taking the start down with it, turns
globbing off around the agent loop, and counts an agent as installed only
when its binary actually runs.
environment: blocks were in no particular order. They now run must-have ->
should-have -> optional, with related variables kept adjacent as a group that
takes the tier of its most important member: PUID/PGID, PASSWORD with
SUDO_PASSWORD, DOCKER_MODS ahead of the INSTALL_PACKAGES and
NODEJS_MOD_VERSION that configure it, the four GIT_* entries, the PASEO_*
daemon settings.
Each .env.example is reordered to match its compose file. The names do not map
one to one -- PASSWORD feeds both PASSWORD and SUDO_PASSWORD, SERVICE_HOSTNAME
feeds HOST -- so an entry sits where the first compose entry reading it sits.
The HOST comment in both compose files is dropped; the READMEs already carry
that explanation in full. CLAUDE.md records the ordering convention.
alloy and gitea-mirror-local are untouched: every variable there is required,
so the tiers collapse and the existing grouping is the better one.
Coolify injects HOST=0.0.0.0 into every compose app, and zsh seeds $HOST and
the %m/%M prompt escapes from that variable rather than calling gethostname().
The prompt read "0", the first dot-separated field of 0.0.0.0, even though the
container hostname itself was set correctly.
Pass the hostname in as HOST alongside the hostname: key, both from a single
SERVICE_HOSTNAME variable. Neither service reads HOST itself -- code-server
binds [::]:8443, Paseo binds PASEO_LISTEN -- so this only affects the prompt.
Not named HOSTNAME: Compose interpolation lets the deploying shell's
environment win over the .env file, and HOSTNAME is set in every container,
including the one Coolify runs in.
PASEO_LABEL is renamed to SERVICE_HOSTNAME; it was never a Paseo variable.
The example git identity is blanked out along with it.
SDKMAN goes into ~/.sdkman whenever that directory is missing, the same way
the agent CLIs arrive: as paseo, through gosu, onto the volume, where `sdk
install` can write and the candidates persist. No variable gates it.
The chown of /home/paseo moves out of the AGENT_CLIS guard, since SDKMAN now
needs it even when no agent is named, and the agent loop reads AGENT_CLIS into
a local first so `set -u` does not trip on it being unset.
SDKMAN_DIR is set in the image, and the current/bin of java, scala, gradle,
maven and sbt joins PATH: `sdk` itself is a shell function from the rc hook and
so exists in terminals only, while the daemon and an agent's non-interactive
commands read no rc file and need the binaries on PATH.
paseo-sudo-entrypoint was named for the one thing it used to do. It is
/usr/local/bin/entrypoint now, matching the source file.
The entrypoint runs each vendor's installer through gosu paseo for every name
in AGENT_CLIS whose command is not already on PATH, so a fresh paseo-home
volume comes up with agents ready. Defaults to claude and codex; the other
four are opt-in.
On start rather than in the Dockerfile: Docker seeds a named volume from the
image once, at creation, so a build-time install into /home/paseo would only
ever reach a volume that did not exist yet. The check also chowns /home/paseo
first, since a freshly created volume can arrive owned by root and the base
entrypoint has not run its own chown by then.
Unknown names and failed installs are logged and skipped rather than taking
the container down with them.
entrypoint.sh loses its explanations to the README along the way.
The daemon probes each provider's binary with `which` in its own
environment, which comes from the image and never sources a shell rc, so
agents installed into $HOME were reported unavailable.
The paseo user cannot write /usr/local, so a baked-in agent CLI can never
apply its own update — every one of them ships an updater that expects to
rewrite its own binary, and Claude Code nags about the failure at startup.
Installed under $HOME they update themselves and still persist, since that is
the paseo-home volume. The README now lists each vendor's installer.
Bun goes with them: it was only there because omp is compiled against it.
glab arrives as the .deb from GitLab's releases page, pinned by GLAB_VERSION
because the URL carries the version. GitLab runs no apt repository and calls
Homebrew its only officially supported Linux package manager.
The Dockerfile drops its explanations along the way; they are in the README.
The image had no compiler at all -- gcc, g++, make, cc and ld were all
missing -- so cgo, npm's node-gyp addons and Python C extensions could
not build. Goes in the existing apt layer to keep a single apt-get
update.
Drop the history and roadmap asides: which services predate the collection's
conventions, the unwired Open Web UI plan, the generic clone-and-troubleshoot
boilerplate. Services that publish ports or set `restart:` now simply say so.
couchbase, openvpn-as and traffmonetizer had two-line READMEs; give them the
ports, variables and storage the root README promises. traffmonetizer reads
${TOKEN} and had no .env.example, so add one.
Six agents now ship in the image. All come from npm; omp additionally needs
Bun, since its bin is Bun-compiled and opens with `#!/usr/bin/env bun`.
BUN_INSTALL puts Bun in /usr/local, clear of the paseo-home volume.
GIT_NAME and GIT_EMAIL expand into the four GIT_AUTHOR_*/GIT_COMMITTER_*
variables, the same shape code-server already uses. Passing the identity as
environment rather than running `git config` means agents and terminals commit
correctly with no setup step, and it does not depend on ~/.gitconfig surviving
in the /home/paseo volume.
The base image installs no sudo and leaves paseo out of the sudo group, so
add both. The password cannot be baked in at build time -- it is a secret and
would land in a layer -- and it cannot be set after the base entrypoint, which
ends in `exec gosu paseo` and never returns. Wrap that entrypoint instead and
set the password while still root, on every start: /etc/shadow lives in the
image, not on the /home/paseo volume, so it reverts on each recreate.
Paseo spawns terminals with process.env.SHELL and falls back to /bin/sh,
which is dash. It never consults the login shell, so chsh has no effect --
and would be reverted by the next rebuild regardless.
System packages, Python, Go, gh and the agent CLIs each get their own
block. Ordered least-changing first, so a Claude Code bump no longer
re-runs the toolchain installs.
Go 1.26.8 from the official tarball and Python 3.12 via uv, since Debian
12 carries 1.19 and 3.11. Both land outside $HOME, which the paseo-home
volume would otherwise mask.
Hostname and timezone come from the environment rather than being fixed in
the compose file. Paseo uses the container hostname as the host label in
its web UI, so without one the UI shows a random container ID.
Debian does not package gh, so use GitHub's signed apt repo. Config
lands in /home/paseo/.config/gh, inside the paseo-home volume, so the
login survives a redeploy.
The pairing screen needs an explicit port, which is the least obvious
part of getting connected. Lead with the setup steps and cut the
explanation around them down to what a reader has to act on.
The daemon trusts X-Forwarded-Proto from loopback only by default, but
Coolify's Traefik reaches it from the Docker bridge network. It therefore
reported the request as plain HTTP and handed the UI useTls: false, so the
UI built a ws:// URL on an https:// page. The browser blocked it as mixed
content and the UI fell back to its built-in localhost:6767 default.
uniquelocal covers the private ranges Docker uses. An exact CIDR is
tighter but Coolify assigns a fresh subnet per project.
The upstream image ships no agent CLIs, so build from a local Dockerfile
that layers Claude Code on top. npm delivers the same native binary as
the standalone installer, which cannot be used here: it writes to
$HOME/.local, and $HOME is /home/paseo, a volume mount that masks
anything baked in at build time.
Runs as root by design -- the entrypoint chowns the mounted volumes and
then drops to the unprivileged paseo user with gosu.
