Bzzz P2P Service Deployment Guide

This document provides detailed instructions for deploying Bzzz as a production systemd service across multiple nodes.

Overview

Bzzz has been successfully deployed as a systemd service across the deepblackcloud cluster, providing:

• Automatic startup on boot
• Automatic restart on failure
• Centralized logging via systemd journal
• Security sandboxing and resource limits
• Full mesh P2P network connectivity

Installation Steps

1. Build Binary

cd /home/tony/AI/projects/Bzzz
go build -o bzzz

2. Install Service

# Install as systemd service (requires sudo)
sudo ./install-service.sh

The installation script:

• Makes the binary executable
• Copies service file to /etc/systemd/system/bzzz.service
• Reloads systemd daemon
• Enables auto-start on boot
• Starts the service immediately

3. Verify Installation

# Check service status
sudo systemctl status bzzz

# View recent logs
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -n 20

# Follow live logs
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -f

Current Deployment Status

Cluster Overview

Node	IP Address	Service Status	Node ID	Connected Peers

ACACIA	192.168.1.xxx	✅ Active	12D3KooWE6c...Q9YSYt	3 peers

Network Connectivity

Full mesh P2P network established:

• All nodes automatically discovered via mDNS
• Bidirectional connections established
• Capability broadcasts exchanged every 30 seconds
• Ready for distributed task coordination

Service Management

Basic Commands

# Start service
sudo systemctl start bzzz

# Stop service
sudo systemctl stop bzzz

# Restart service
sudo systemctl restart bzzz

# Check status
sudo systemctl status bzzz

# Enable auto-start (already enabled)
sudo systemctl enable bzzz

# Disable auto-start
sudo systemctl disable bzzz

Logging

# View recent logs
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -n 50

# Follow live logs
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -f

# View logs from specific time
sudo journalctl -u bzzz --since "2025-07-12 19:00:00"

# View logs with specific priority
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -p info

Troubleshooting

# Check if service is running
sudo systemctl is-active bzzz

# Check if service is enabled
sudo systemctl is-enabled bzzz

# View service configuration
sudo systemctl cat bzzz

# Reload service configuration (after editing service file)
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart bzzz

Service Configuration

Service File Location

/etc/systemd/system/bzzz.service

Key Configuration Settings

• Type: simple - Standard foreground service
• User/Group: tony:tony - Runs as non-root user
• Working Directory: /home/tony/AI/projects/Bzzz
• Restart Policy: always with 10-second delay
• Timeout: 30-second graceful stop timeout

Security Settings

• NoNewPrivileges: Prevents privilege escalation
• PrivateTmp: Isolated temporary directory
• ProtectSystem: Read-only system directories
• ProtectHome: Limited home directory access

Resource Limits

• File Descriptors: 65,536 (for P2P connections)
• Processes: 4,096 (for Go runtime)

Network Configuration

Port Usage

Bzzz automatically selects available ports for P2P communication:

• TCP ports in ephemeral range (32768-65535)
• IPv4 and IPv6 support
• Automatic port discovery and sharing via mDNS

Firewall Considerations

For production deployments:

• Allow inbound TCP connections on used ports
• Allow UDP port 5353 for mDNS discovery
• Consider restricting to local network (192.168.1.0/24)

mDNS Discovery

• Service Tag: bzzz-peer-discovery
• Network Scope: 192.168.1.0/24
• Discovery Interval: Continuous background scanning

Monitoring and Maintenance

Health Checks

# Check P2P connectivity
sudo journalctl -u bzzz | grep "Connected to"

# Monitor capability broadcasts
sudo journalctl -u bzzz | grep "capability_broadcast"

# Check for errors
sudo journalctl -u bzzz -p err

Performance Monitoring

# Resource usage
sudo systemctl status bzzz

# Memory usage
ps aux | grep bzzz

# Network connections
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep bzzz

Maintenance Tasks

1. Log Rotation: Systemd handles log rotation automatically
2. Service Updates: Stop service, replace binary, restart
3. Configuration Changes: Edit service file, reload systemd, restart

Uninstalling

To remove the service:

sudo ./uninstall-service.sh

This will:

• Stop the service if running
• Disable auto-start
• Remove service file
• Reload systemd daemon
• Reset any failed states

Note: Binary and project files remain intact.

Deployment Timeline

• 2025-07-12 19:46: WALNUT service installed and started
• 2025-07-12 19:49: IRONWOOD service installed and started
• 2025-07-12 19:49: ACACIA service installed and started
• 2025-07-12 19:50: Full mesh network established (3 nodes)

Next Steps

1. Integration: Connect with Hive task coordination system
2. Monitoring: Set up centralized monitoring dashboard
3. Scaling: Add additional nodes to expand P2P mesh
4. Task Execution: Implement actual task processing workflows
