ai: the /api/chat agent loop — SSE streaming, modes, tool execution
Tool definitions are generated in-process from the /api/ai blueprint's
own OpenAPI operations (operationId = tool name, description = tool
description, dataclass bodies + declared parameters = one flat JSON
schema) — the spec IS the catalog, nothing to drift.  Manage endpoints
never become tools.  A mode is a server-enforced system prompt + tool
allowlist (Help / Research / System per ai.md); the executor can only
reach allowlisted /api/ai endpoints, path parameters are encoded and
traversal-rejected so a crafted argument cannot escape an endpoint.

POST /api/chat streams SSE (status/token/tool_call/tool_result/done/
error), starts llama-server on demand, validates tool args server-side
with instructive errors the model can retry on, caps tool results with
a paging hint, and bounds the loop by ai.yaml max_tool_calls plus a
hard timeout.  Caddy passes the stream unbuffered (flush_interval -1)
in both deployments.

WROLPi Docker

Development and testing environment using Docker containers.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/lrnselfreliance/wrolpi.git
cd wrolpi
git submodule update --init
docker-compose build --parallel
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles
docker-compose run --rm api db upgrade
docker-compose up

Browse to https://localhost:8443

Services

Service Port(s) Description
web 8443 (HTTPS), 8084-8086 Caddy reverse proxy
api 8081 Sanic API server
app (via web) React frontend
controller 8080 System management (FastAPI)
archive 8083 SingleFile/Readability
zim (via web:8085) Kiwix
help (via web:8086) MkDocs documentation
map (via web:8084) OpenStreetMap tile server

TLS Certificates

WROLPi uses a two-tier PKI for HTTPS. A root CA is generated once and persists in the media directory. A leaf certificate is regenerated on every container start to pick up hostname and IP changes.

How it works

  1. On first start, the web container generates a root CA at /opt/media/config/ssl/.
  2. A leaf cert signed by the root CA is created at /etc/ssl/caddy/ inside the container.
  3. Caddy serves HTTPS on ports 443, 8084, 8085, and 8086 using the leaf cert.
  4. The Controller serves on port 80 with a certificate trust banner when needed.

Trusting the certificate

  1. Browse to http://<host-ip> to see the Controller. If the HTTPS certificate is not yet trusted, a banner will appear with the download link and platform-specific trust instructions.
  2. Download and install the root CA on your device.
  3. All HTTPS ports will work without browser warnings.

The root CA only needs to be trusted once. Leaf certs can be regenerated (hostname change, container rebuild) without needing to re-trust.

Name Constraints

The root CA is restricted to local/private networks only via X.509 Name Constraints. Even if the CA key were compromised, it cannot sign certificates for public domains.

Permitted:

  • DNS: *.local, localhost
  • IPv4: 127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16
  • IPv6: ::1, fc00::/7 (unique local), fe80::/10 (link-local)

EXTRA_SANS

The Docker container cannot discover the host's real LAN IP. Set EXTRA_SANS in a .env file so the leaf certificate includes your host's IP and hostname:

# .env
EXTRA_SANS=IP:10.0.0.5,DNS:myhost.local

Each entry must have a type prefix (IP: or DNS:). Multiple entries are comma-separated. After changing EXTRA_SANS, restart the web container:

docker compose up -d --build web

Regenerating the root CA

If you need to regenerate the root CA (e.g. after updating the certificate generation script), delete the old CA files and rebuild:

rm test/config/ssl/ca.crt test/config/ssl/ca.key
docker compose up -d --build web

All devices will need to re-download and re-trust the new CA from http://<host-ip>/ca.crt.

Volumes

The test/ directory is mounted to /opt/media inside containers, serving as the media directory for development. Certificate files, configs, and downloaded content are stored here.

Two external volumes are required for the map service:

docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-data
docker volume create --name=openstreetmap-rendered-tiles

Environment Variables

Variable Default Description
MEDIA_DIRECTORY /opt/media Media directory inside containers
EXTRA_SANS (empty) Additional SANs for the TLS leaf certificate
WEB_HOST 0.0.0.0 Host bind address for the web service
WEB_HTTPS_PORT 8443 HTTPS port
REACT_APP_API 0.0.0.0:8081 API bind address
UID 1000 User ID for api/app containers
GID 1000 Group ID for api/app containers
