Session Log — 2026-04-19

User

User: Mike Swanson (mike)
Machine: DESKTOP-0O8A1RL
Role: admin

Session Summary

This session covered two main areas: (1) completing drill-down navigation across the entire GuruRMM dashboard, and (2) beginning setup of Pluto (Windows build VM on Jupiter) to enable automated Windows agent builds.

Accomplishments

Added clickable navigation links throughout all dashboard pages so the Client→Site→Agent hierarchy is fully navigable in both directions (up only, no circular refs).

Files changed:

dashboard/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx — site_name and client_name now link to /sites/:id and /clients/:id
dashboard/src/pages/SiteDetail.tsx — Fixed breadcrumb: client name now links to /clients/:id (was linking to /clients list)
dashboard/src/pages/Agents.tsx — Client group headers link to /clients/:id, site sub-headers link to /sites/:id using first agent's IDs
dashboard/src/pages/Commands.tsx — Agent ID now links to /agents/:id; added Link import from react-router-dom

Deploy: Committed → pushed to Gitea → pulled on gururmm server → npm run build → sudo cp -r dist/* /var/www/gururmm/dashboard/

Commit: 6fd3380

2. Agent — Auto-Install on First Run

Problem: User downloaded site-configured agent exe, ran it directly, got:

Error: Failed to read config file: "agent.toml"

Root cause: Default command (run) immediately loads agent.toml. Embedded site code trailer is only read during install subcommand. So running the exe bare-handed fails if no config exists.

Fix (agent/src/main.rs): Added pre-dispatch logic in main():

If no subcommand given AND config file does not exist:
- If embedded site code found → log "auto-installing" and dispatch to Install
- If no embedded code found → log "prompting for site code" and dispatch to Install
- install_service() already handles both cases (silent embed or interactive prompt)
If config exists → dispatch to Run as before (existing installed service path)

Commit: 6a5bd8a

Still needed: Build the updated Windows agent binary and upload to /var/www/downloads/gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-latest.exe on 172.16.3.30.

3. Pluto Build Server — Partial Setup

New Windows Server VM on Jupiter. Named Pluto (not Neptune — Neptune is a different existing server).

Assigned static IP: 172.16.3.36 (was DHCP 172.16.1.64 during setup session)

Setup script created: scripts/setup-build-server.ps1

Enables OpenSSH Server (Windows Capability)
Opens firewall port 22
Writes administrators_authorized_keys with ACG-5070 workstation key
Hardens sshd_config (pubkey only, no password)
Installs Chocolatey + Rust toolchain

Problem encountered: Add-WindowsCapability failed with 0x800f0950 — VM can't reach Windows Update (no WSUS/internet for feature downloads). DNS was pointing to 172.16.3.50 (invalid), breaking internet access.

Resolution attempted: Switch pfSense DHCP to use pfSense (172.16.0.1) as DNS instead of 172.16.3.50. pfSense web UI blocked by Chrome self-signed cert; SSH to pfSense timed out (no key auth configured). Pending: Mike needs to make DNS change manually in pfSense.

Workaround script provided (manual install of OpenSSH via Win32-OpenSSH GitHub release — bypasses Windows Update requirement). Not yet confirmed successful.

Rust: Successfully installed on Pluto (stable 1.95.0, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc).

Pending / Next Steps

pfSense DNS fix — Change DHCP DNS from 172.16.3.50 to 172.16.0.1 in pfSense web UI. Mike to do manually.
Pluto NIC config — Set static IP 172.16.3.36 on Pluto after DNS is fixed and OpenSSH finishes installing.

Pluto OpenSSH — Retry Add-WindowsCapability after DNS fix, OR use Win32-OpenSSH manual install:

$url = "https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/download/v9.5.0.0p1-Beta/OpenSSH-Win64.zip"
$zip = "$env:TEMP\openssh.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $zip
Expand-Archive -Path $zip -DestinationPath "C:\Program Files\" -Force
Rename-Item "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64" "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH"
& "C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\install-sshd.ps1"
Start-Service sshd; Set-Service sshd -StartupType Automatic

Build Windows agent on Pluto once SSH access confirmed:

cd C:\gururmm\agent
cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Then SCP to server:

scp agent/target/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/release/gururmm-agent.exe guru@172.16.3.30:/var/www/downloads/gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-latest.exe

Test agent on Pluto — Download from RMM console, run elevated, confirm auto-install kicks in and agent appears online.
Ongoing backlog (from previous sessions):
- Deploy session manager to SAGE-SQL (Dataforth)
- Howard Gitea account setup
- Len's Auto Brokerage — deploy GuruRMM to 10 endpoints
- desertrat.com — DMARC p=reject + SPF hardening
- jparkinsonaz.com certbot retry

Update: ~17:30 — Pluto Build Server Continued

Progress

SSH access confirmed working:

Key: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 (ACG-5070 workstation)
Host: Administrator@172.16.1.64 (DHCP, pending static IP 172.16.3.36)

sshd auto-start fixed:

Set-Service sshd -StartupType Automatic
Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic

Git installed: v2.47.1.windows.2 (direct installer, not Chocolatey — Choco blocked by .NET 4.8 issue)

Repo cloned:

git clone https://azcomputerguru:<token>@git.azcomputerguru.com/azcomputerguru/gururmm.git C:\gururmm

(credential store warning is harmless — clone succeeded)

Rust present: C:\Users\Administrator\.cargo\bin\rustup.exe — stable 1.95.0

Build failed — missing MSVC linker:

error: linker `link.exe` not found
note: please ensure Visual Studio 2017 or later, or Build Tools for Visual Studio were installed with the Visual C++ option

Fix in progress — installing VS Build Tools (C++ workload):

vs_buildtools.exe --quiet --wait --norestart --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --includeRecommended

Background task ID: br51d9p1g — still running at time of /save

Next Steps (immediate)

Wait for VS Build Tools to finish (5-10 min)
Retry: cargo build --release in C:\gururmm\agent

SCP output to gururmm server:

scp C:\gururmm\agent\target\release\gururmm-agent.exe guru@172.16.3.30:/var/www/downloads/gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-latest.exe

Test: download fresh agent from RMM console on Pluto, run elevated — should auto-install

SSH one-liners for future sessions

# Test connection
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.1.64 "hostname"

# Run build
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.1.64 "cmd /c \"cd C:\\gururmm\\agent && set PATH=%PATH%;C:\\Users\\Administrator\\.cargo\\bin && cargo build --release 2>&1\""

pfSense DNS — still pending

DHCP DNS still pointing to 172.16.3.50 (invalid). Needs manual change in pfSense web UI: Services → DHCP Server → DNS Servers → set to 172.16.0.1 This will allow Pluto and other VMs to resolve internet names properly after lease renewal.

Update: ~19:30 — Bug Filing, Build Chain Verification, Pluto Static IP

Accomplishments

1. Filed 4 Bugs on Gitea (via internal API — external blocked by Cloudflare)

Used http://172.16.3.20:3000/api/v1/ (internal Gitea) to bypass Cloudflare challenge page.

Issue	Title
#2	bug: auto-update loop downgrades freshly enrolled agents
#3	bug: Windows service registration lost after auto-update restart
#4	bug: pending-update.json not cleaned up after failed update
#5	bug: sshd on Pluto build VM does not persist across reboots

2. Build Chain Verified End-to-End

Webhook routing confirmed:

Gitea webhook: id=1 active=true url=http://172.16.3.30/webhook/build events=push
nginx proxies /webhook/ → 127.0.0.1:9000
gururmm-webhook.service (python3 script) handles requests and spawns build-agents.sh

Build chain tested — triggered via manual POST:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9000/webhook/build -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"ref":"refs/heads/main"}'

Full successful run (v0.6.1):

2026-04-19 19:22:02 - === Starting agent build ===
2026-04-19 19:23:57 - Deploying Linux agent...

2026-04-19 19:24:01 - Windows agent signed OK
2026-04-19 19:24:01 - === Build complete: v0.6.1 ===

Signing confirmed working: Azure Trusted Signing via jsign, SP creds in /etc/gururmm-signing.env

Symlinks correct after build:

gururmm-agent-linux-amd64-latest    -> gururmm-agent-linux-amd64-0.6.1
gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-latest.exe -> gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-0.6.1.exe

Note: Build ran twice concurrently (Gitea webhook + my manual trigger). Fixed by adding build lock to webhook handler.

3. Webhook Handler — Build Lock Added

Updated /opt/gururmm/webhook-handler.py to prevent concurrent builds:

Writes PID to /var/run/gururmm-build.lock when spawning build
Checks if lock PID is alive before allowing new build; cleans stale locks
Returns Build already in progress, skipped if another build is running
Restarted gururmm-webhook.service to apply

4. pfSense DNS Fix — CONFIRMED DONE

Mike manually changed pfSense DHCP DNS from 172.16.3.50 → 172.16.0.1.

Confirmed on Pluto:

DNS Servers: 172.16.0.1
             8.8.8.8
             1.1.1.1

5. Pluto Static IP — SET AND CONFIRMED

Method: Wrote C:\setip.cmd, created scheduled task (SetStaticIP) to run as SYSTEM, forced it to fire.

Final Pluto NIC config:

IP: 172.16.3.36 (static, DHCP disabled)
Subnet: 255.255.252.0
Gateway: 172.16.0.1
DNS: 172.16.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1

SSH one-liner (updated):

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.3.36 "hostname"

Old DHCP address (172.16.1.64) is no longer valid.

Credentials (unchanged from earlier sections)

See earlier credential block above — no new credentials this update.

Pending / Next Steps (updated)

Agent bug fixes — 4 bugs filed (#2-#5). Need code fixes in agent/src:
- #2: Skip auto-update if server_version <= current_version
- #3: Re-register Windows service after binary replacement
- #4: Cleanup pending-update.json on failure + validate at startup
Test fresh agent download on Pluto — download site-configured agent from RMM console, run elevated, confirm auto-install and dashboard enrollment.
Version bump — Cargo.toml still at 0.6.1. Bump to 0.6.2 when bug fixes are committed so the new binary supersedes the current one on endpoints.
Ongoing backlog:
- Deploy session manager to SAGE-SQL (Dataforth)
- Howard Gitea account setup
- Len's Auto Brokerage — deploy GuruRMM to 10 endpoints
- desertrat.com — DMARC p=reject + SPF hardening
- jparkinsonaz.com certbot retry

Update: ~01:00 — Bug Fixes, v0.6.2 Build, Pluto Build Integration, Status Page

Accomplishments

1. shadcn/ui Post-Review Bug Fixes (3 bugs)

Three high-severity bugs found by code review after shadcn/ui migration:

a) Toaster hardcoded dark theme (dashboard/src/components/Toaster.tsx)

Was: <Sonner theme="dark" ...>
Fix: Read from useTheme() context, resolve "system" via window.matchMedia

b) Badge missing error variant (dashboard/src/components/Badge.tsx)

Added error: "border-transparent bg-red-500/15 text-red-600 dark:text-red-400" variant
Updated Agents.tsx to use variant="error" (was variant="destructive") for agent error status

c) Stale modal form state on re-open (Sites.tsx, Clients.tsx)

Added key={editingClient?.id ?? "new"} / key={editingSite?.id ?? "new"} to force modal remount when target changes

2. BUG-006: Temperature Sensors Never Collected

Filed as new Gitea issue covering:

CPU temp collection (sysinfo::Components)
GPU temp collection (WMI/nvidia-smi/rocm-smi)
Cross-platform (Windows + Linux)
Agent side: new TemperatureReading struct, wired into SystemMetrics
Dashboard side: new temperature section in AgentDetail

Also documented in docs/FEATURE_ROADMAP.md Known Bugs section.

3. Windows .old Binary Cleanup — No-Reboot Solution

User rejected original "defer to next startup" approach:

"Waiting for a reboot is not a valid solution to the update issue. Servers may go months or years between reboots."

Final solution (agent/src/updater/mod.rs):

If existing .old is locked, rename to timestamped tombstone (.old.YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS) — unblocks the current update without waiting for a reboot
Spawn detached cmd.exe /c timeout /t 30 && for %f in (...\*.old*) do del /f /q "%f" with CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag — sweeps all .old* files ~30s after service restart

#[cfg(windows)]
use std::os::windows::process::CommandExt;
// CREATE_NO_WINDOW = 0x08000000

Commit: e93b56f

4. v0.6.2 Build — Completed

Version bump: agent/Cargo.toml 0.6.1 → 0.6.2 (commit f827ab4)

Build triggered via SSH to 172.16.3.30:

sudo bash /opt/gururmm/build-agents.sh 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gururmm-build.log &

Result:

2026-04-20 00:32:13 - === Build complete: v0.6.2 ===
[OK] signed: /var/www/gururmm/downloads/gururmm-agent-windows-amd64-0.6.2.exe

Note: v0.6.2 agent was built with MinGW (cross-compile) not MSVC. Pluto integration came after this build.

5. Pluto Build Integration — build-agents.sh Updated

Problem: build-agents.sh was using MinGW cross-compile for Windows, never routing to Pluto.

Changes made:

a) Authorized RMM server key on Pluto:

RMM server key: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIKSqf2/phEXUK8vd5GhMIDTEGSk0LvYk92sRdNiRrjKi guru@gururmm-build
Added to C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys on Pluto
Tested: ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no Administrator@172.16.3.36 "hostname" → PLUTO ✓

b) Updated /opt/gururmm/build-agents.sh:

Replaced cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu (MinGW) with:
- SSH to Pluto → git fetch && git reset --hard origin/main && cargo build --release (MSVC)
- SCP .exe back to /tmp/gururmm-agent-windows-$VERSION.exe
- Deploy, sign, sha256 as before
Key variable: PLUTO="Administrator@172.16.3.36"
Cargo path on Pluto: C:\Users\Administrator\.cargo\bin\cargo

Next push to main will produce a native MSVC Windows binary.

6. Status Page — rmm.azcomputerguru.com/status

Built a public system status page (no auth required).

Server changes:

New server/src/status.rs — GET /status handler:
- DB liveness check (SELECT 1)
- Agent counts from DB (total, online, offline, error)
- WebSocket connection count from state.agents.read().await.count()
- Uptime from state.startup_time.elapsed().as_secs()
- Returns version from env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")
Added startup_time: std::time::Instant to AppState
Registered as public route in build_router() (outside /api nest, no auth)

Dashboard changes:

dashboard/src/api/client.ts — Added SystemStatus interface + statusApi.get()
dashboard/src/pages/Status.tsx — New public page:
- Overall health banner (green/yellow/red)
- Per-component rows: API Server, Database, Agent Fleet, WebSocket, Dashboard
- Agent breakdown grid (online/offline/error counts)
- Auto-refresh every 30s, manual refresh button
dashboard/src/App.tsx — /status route added as bare route (no ProtectedRoute/PublicRoute)

nginx fix: Added location /status { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001; } to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gururmm — was missing, causing "Service Disruption" error on first load.

Server binary redeployed: gururmm-server rebuilt and swapped (stop service → copy → start):

/opt/gururmm/gururmm-server.backup.20260420-005859 ← backup before swap

Build issue fixed: npm install was needed on build server — shadcn/ui deps (class-variance-authority, @radix-ui/react-slot) were missing, causing 86 TypeScript errors. Fixed by running npm install in /home/guru/gururmm/dashboard/.

Live verification:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "uptime_seconds": 268,
  "components": {
    "agents": { "total": 34, "online": 26, "offline": 8, "error": 0 },
