A candid technical postmortem on retiring Ouroboros, OpenCode, and Pi: 81% sustained CPU, full swap, overlapping infrastructure, attack surface, backup-first removal, and why consolidation won.
Read the postmortem →The master overview of the 9-agent fleet: architecture, GBrain, 9Router, Telegram bots, NAS/GitHub backup, 31 cron jobs, runbooks, and links to all 14 setup guides.
Open Flight Deck →A verbose build log for the Ouroboros self-creating AI framework: prebuilt binary v6.90.1, CLI install, 9Router model routing, headless server mode, GTK deps, and operational checks.
Open Ouroboros guide →A verbose build log for the Hermes VM deployment: services, gateway flow, environment placeholders, reverse proxy, systemd, integrations, and operational checks.
Open Hermes guide →A command-heavy walkthrough for the OpenAI-compatible model router: Docker layout, placeholder API keys, provider routing, health checks, and client examples.
Open 9Router guide →A verbose build log for the OpenClaw gateway: systemd services, HTTPS reverse proxy, Telegram bot wiring, 9Router model routing, and operational checks.
Open OpenClaw guide →A verbose build log for the Pi coding CLI: install, 9Router model routing, models.json fallback chain, GBrain MCP wiring, sessions, and an optional systemd wrapper.
Open Pi guide →A verbose build log for the OpenCode agent: headless serve mode, Telegram bot, 9Router/OpenRouter routing, GBrain MCP, and SQLite session hardening.
Open OpenCode guide →A verbose build log for the Codex agent: app-server WebSocket mode, Telegram bot, 9Router/OpenRouter routing, GBrain MCP, sandbox config, and operational checks.
Open Codex guide →A verbose guide to wiring Claude Code to 9Router for free Anthropic-compatible inference: base-URL override, env scripts, OpenRouter fallback, GBrain MCP.
Open Claude Code guide →The verbose ops runbook for restarting every agent and Telegram gateway: systemd units, health checks, and how to recover per-session CLIs.
Open Troubleshooting guide →The verbose backup plan: what folders each agent backs up, cron scheduling, GitHub + local NAS (SMB2) destinations, notification policy, and sizes.
Open Backup guide →How the site deploys: Git-triggered builds, the astro build command, dist/ output, preview branches, and the full push-to-live flow.
Open Pipeline guide →Deploy a private website: mirror GitHub to GitLab, build with .gitlab-ci.yml, publish to GitLab Pages, and keep the source private.
Open Pipeline guide →A verbose guide to deploying GBrain on Supabase pgvector: HTTP MCP on 3131, GitHub offsite backups, 9Router model routing, and full configuration.
