# EVOLV Deployment Blueprint
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
This document turns the current EVOLV architecture into a concrete deployment model.
|
||||
|
||||
It focuses on:
|
||||
|
||||
- target infrastructure layout
|
||||
- container/service topology
|
||||
- environment and secret boundaries
|
||||
- rollout order from edge to site to central
|
||||
|
||||
It is the local source document behind the wiki deployment pages.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Deployment Principles
|
||||
|
||||
- edge-first operation: plant logic must continue when central is unavailable
|
||||
- site mediation: site services protect field systems and absorb plant-specific complexity
|
||||
- central governance: external APIs, analytics, IAM, CI/CD, and shared dashboards terminate centrally
|
||||
- layered telemetry: InfluxDB exists where operationally justified at edge, site, and central
|
||||
- configuration authority: `tagcodering` should become the source of truth for configuration
|
||||
- secrets hygiene: tracked manifests contain variables only; secrets live in server-side env or secret stores
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Layered Deployment Model
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Edge node
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
- interface with PLCs and field assets
|
||||
- execute local Node-RED logic
|
||||
- retain local telemetry for resilience and digital-twin use cases
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended services:
|
||||
|
||||
- `evolv-edge-nodered`
|
||||
- `evolv-edge-influxdb`
|
||||
- optional `evolv-edge-grafana`
|
||||
- optional `evolv-edge-broker`
|
||||
|
||||
Should not host:
|
||||
|
||||
- public API ingress
|
||||
- central IAM
|
||||
- source control or CI/CD
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 Site node
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
- aggregate one or more edge nodes
|
||||
- host plant-local dashboards and engineering visibility
|
||||
- mediate traffic between edge and central
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended services:
|
||||
|
||||
- `evolv-site-nodered` or `coresync-site`
|
||||
- `evolv-site-influxdb`
|
||||
- `evolv-site-grafana`
|
||||
- optional `evolv-site-broker`
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.3 Central platform
|
||||
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
- fleet-wide analytics
|
||||
- API and integration ingress
|
||||
- engineering lifecycle and releases
|
||||
- identity and governance
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended services:
|
||||
|
||||
- reverse proxy / ingress
|
||||
- API gateway
|
||||
- IAM
|
||||
- central InfluxDB
|
||||
- central Grafana
|
||||
- Gitea
|
||||
- CI/CD runner/controller
|
||||
- optional broker for asynchronous site/central workflows
|
||||
- configuration services over `tagcodering`
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Target Container Topology
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.1 Edge host
|
||||
|
||||
Minimum viable edge stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
edge-host-01
|
||||
- Node-RED
|
||||
- InfluxDB
|
||||
- optional Grafana
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred production edge stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
edge-host-01
|
||||
- Node-RED
|
||||
- InfluxDB
|
||||
- local health/export service
|
||||
- optional local broker
|
||||
- optional local dashboard service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.2 Site host
|
||||
|
||||
Minimum viable site stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
site-host-01
|
||||
- Site Node-RED / CoreSync
|
||||
- Site InfluxDB
|
||||
- Site Grafana
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred production site stack:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
site-host-01
|
||||
- Site Node-RED / CoreSync
|
||||
- Site InfluxDB
|
||||
- Site Grafana
|
||||
- API relay / sync service
|
||||
- optional site broker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3.3 Central host group
|
||||
|
||||
Central should not be one giant undifferentiated host forever. It should trend toward at least these responsibility groups:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
central-ingress
|
||||
- reverse proxy
|
||||
- API gateway
|
||||
- IAM
|
||||
|
||||
central-observability
|
||||
- central InfluxDB
|
||||
- Grafana
|
||||
|
||||
central-engineering
|
||||
- Gitea
|
||||
- CI/CD
|
||||
- deployment orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
central-config
|
||||
- tagcodering-backed config services
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For early rollout these may be colocated, but the responsibility split should remain clear.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Compose Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
The current repository shows:
|
||||
|
||||
- `docker-compose.yml` as a development stack
|
||||
- `temp/cloud.yml` as a broad central-stack example
|
||||
|
||||
For production, EVOLV should not rely on one flat compose file for every layer.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommended split:
|
||||
|
||||
- `compose.edge.yml`
|
||||
- `compose.site.yml`
|
||||
- `compose.central.yml`
|
||||
- optional overlay files for site-specific differences
|
||||
|
||||
Benefits:
|
||||
|
||||
- clearer ownership per layer
|
||||
- smaller blast radius during updates
|
||||
- easier secret and env separation
|
||||
- easier rollout per site
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Environment And Secrets Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 Current baseline
|
||||
|
||||
`temp/cloud.yml` now uses environment variables instead of inline credentials. That is the minimum acceptable baseline.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 Recommended production rule
|
||||
|
||||
- tracked compose files contain `${VARIABLE}` placeholders only
|
||||
- real secrets live in server-local `.env` files or a managed secret store
|
||||
- no shared default production passwords in git
|
||||
- separate env files per layer and per environment
|
||||
|
||||
Suggested structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
/opt/evolv/
|
||||
compose.edge.yml
|
||||
compose.site.yml
|
||||
compose.central.yml
|
||||
env/
|
||||
edge.env
|
||||
site.env
|
||||
central.env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Recommended Network Flow
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.1 Northbound
|
||||
|
||||
- edge publishes or syncs upward to site
|
||||
- site aggregates and forwards selected data to central
|
||||
- central exposes APIs and dashboards to approved consumers
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.2 Southbound
|
||||
|
||||
- central issues advice, approved config, or mediated requests
|
||||
- site validates and relays to edge where appropriate
|
||||
- edge remains the execution point near PLCs
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.3 Forbidden direct path
|
||||
|
||||
- enterprise or internet clients should not directly query PLC-connected edge runtimes
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Rollout Order
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Edge baseline
|
||||
|
||||
- deploy edge Node-RED
|
||||
- deploy local InfluxDB
|
||||
- validate PLC connectivity
|
||||
- validate local telemetry and resilience
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Site mediation
|
||||
|
||||
- deploy site Node-RED / CoreSync
|
||||
- connect one or more edge nodes
|
||||
- validate site-local dashboards and outage behavior
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Central services
|
||||
|
||||
- deploy ingress, IAM, API, Grafana, central InfluxDB
|
||||
- deploy Gitea and CI/CD services
|
||||
- validate controlled northbound access
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Configuration backbone
|
||||
|
||||
- connect runtime layers to `tagcodering`
|
||||
- reduce config duplication in flows
|
||||
- formalize config promotion and rollback
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Smart telemetry policy
|
||||
|
||||
- classify signals
|
||||
- define reconstruction rules
|
||||
- define authoritative layer per horizon
|
||||
- validate analytics and auditability
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Immediate Technical Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
- treat `docker/settings.js` as development-only and create hardened production settings separately
|
||||
- split deployment manifests by layer
|
||||
- define env files per layer and environment
|
||||
- formalize healthchecks and backup procedures for every persistent service
|
||||
- define whether broker usage is required at edge, site, central, or only selectively
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Next Technical Work Items
|
||||
|
||||
1. create draft `compose.edge.yml`, `compose.site.yml`, and `compose.central.yml`
|
||||
2. define server directory layout and env-file conventions
|
||||
3. define production Node-RED settings profile
|
||||
4. define site-to-central sync path
|
||||
5. define deployment and rollback runbook
