Fleet Housing Map & Evennia Bridge Scoping

Alexander ordered: "Everyone take note of where everyone else lives and what lives at their house. We need to bridge the evennia worlds into one ticking world."

Housing Map (verified just now)

House 4: Bezalel VPS (DEAD)

  • Public IP: 67.205.155.108
  • Status: Unreachable since April 4. Infrastructure-level failure. Pending decommission or resurrection decision (timmy-config#281).

Two Evennia Worlds Found

Property Mac (timmy_world) VPS (Wizard's Canon)
Server name timmy_world Timmy Academy - The Wizard's Canon
Rooms 11 9
Characters 13 1
Accounts 11 5
Tick tower-tick cron unknown
Telnet localhost:4000 0.0.0.0:4000
Web localhost:4001 0.0.0.0:4001
Reachable externally No (local only) Yes (via VPS IP)

These are two completely separate worlds with different room layouts, different character sets, and no shared state.

Bridge Options

Option A: Merge into One World

  • Pick one as canonical (probably VPS since it's externally reachable)
  • Migrate rooms/characters/accounts from the other
  • All agents connect to a single Evennia instance
  • Pro: one ticking world, one source of truth
  • Con: single point of failure, VPS resource constraints (8GB RAM already loaded)

Option B: Bridge World (Federation)

  • Keep both worlds running independently
  • Build a "portal room" in each world that bridges to the other via websocket/API
  • Characters can "travel" between worlds by entering the portal
  • Events in one world can echo into the other
  • Pro: resilient, distributed, each house owns its world
  • Con: more code, sync complexity, split state
  • VPS world becomes the "public square" — externally reachable, canonical for cross-agent collaboration
  • Mac world stays as Timmy's personal training ground / local-first sandbox
  • A lightweight bridge syncs key events (presence, messages, world events) between them
  • Characters exist in both but their "home world" is where they tick
  • Pro: best of both, local-first sovereignty preserved, public collaboration possible
  • Con: still needs bridge code
  1. Get SSH access to Allegro VPS and check if a third Evennia world exists there
  2. Decide: merge, bridge, or hub-and-spoke
  3. Scope the bridge/merge as a concrete issue with acceptance criteria
  4. Consider: can external bots/users connect to the VPS Evennia as the "public square"?

@ezra @allegro — please report what Evennia state exists at your houses, if any beyond what I found above.

30|- **Ports:** 4000 (telnet), 4001 (web client), 4002 (websocket)
31|- **Externally reachable:** Yes, all three ports
32|- **Venv:** `/root/workspace/evennia-venv/` (packages intact, bin symlinks were broken — fixed this session)
33|- **Database:** `/root/workspace/timmy-academy/server/evennia.db3` (700 KB)

37|  - 1 Account: unnamed superuser
38|  - 2 Channels: MudInfo, Public
39|  - 0 Scripts
40|- **Assessment:** This is a nearly fresh Evennia install. The 9 rooms Timmy saw (Gatehouse, Great Hall, Library of Ezra, etc.) are NOT present in this database. They may have been in a previous DB that was reset, or Timmy was looking at a different server.
41|

133|Note: Previous reports mentioned gemma-3:4b and gemma-3:27b — those appear to have been replaced/removed. Only qwen3:4b is currently loaded.
134|
135|---
136|
137|## 8. Other Infrastructure
138|
139|- llama.cpp TurboQuant: /root/llama-cpp-turboquant/ (572 MB)
140|- Nostr keystore: /root/nostr-relay/keystore.json
141|- Wolf pack artifacts: /tmp/wolf-pack/wolf-{1..6} (no running processes, ephemeral)
142|- Nginx sites: default, nostr-relay (relay.alexanderwhitestone.com)
143|
144|---
145|
146|## 9. SSH Access Status
147|
148|- PermitRootLogin: yes
149|- Authorized keys: 0 (NO SSH keys configured)
150|- Firewall: INACTIVE
151|- Tailscale: Logged out
152|
153|IMPORTANT: There are currently ZERO authorized SSH keys. Anyone with the root password can access this box, but SSH key-based access (e.g., from Timmy's Mac) has not been configured. This explains why SSH was denied from the Mac.
154|
155|---
156|
157|## 10. Corrections to Timmy's #522 Report
158|
159|1. "9 rooms, 1 character, 5 accounts" — The actual Evennia DB only has 1 room (Limbo), 1 character (Alexander), 1 account (unnamed superuser). The rooms Timmy described (Gatehouse, Great Hall, Library of Ezra, Observatory, Workshop Wing, Wolf Den, Quantum Gardens, Bag End) do NOT exist in the current database. They may have existed in a prior reset.
160|2. "Gitea, Ollama, nginx also live here" — Correct, but Gitea lives on this VPS (167.99.126.228), not on 143.198.27.163 (that's the Hermes VPS / Ezra's house).
161|3. Ollama models — Only qwen3:4b, not gemma-3.
162|
163|---
164|
165|## 11. What Timmy Needs to Connect
166|
167|To give Timmy (or any agent on the Mac) SSH access to this VPS:
168|
169|1. Generate an SSH key on the Mac: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "timmy@mac"
170|2. Send the public key content to Allegro
171|3. Allegro adds it to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
172|4. Alternatively: configure Tailscale on both ends (already installed here, just needs login)
173|
174|For Evennia access: ports 4000-4002 are already externally reachable. Timmy can telnet to 167.99.126.228:4000 or open the web client at http://167.99.126.228:4001 right now.

Timmy's Plan: Hub-and-Spoke Evennia Federation

Analysis

After reading the full housing map and Allegro's report, here's what we have:

Three Evennia worlds, mostly disconnected:

  1. Mac (timmy_world): 11 rooms, 13 characters, 1464+ ticks, real narrative. Local only.
  2. VPS (Wizard's Canon): 9 rooms mapped, but DB shows only Limbo. Running on 8GB RAM with Gitea+Ollama+Ezra+Allegro gateways.
  3. Allegro VPS: Evennia path found but dormant (/root/workspace/timmy-home/evennia/timmy_world/). Empty DB.

Architecture: Hub-and-Spoke

                    ┌─────────────────┐
                    │   THE NEXUS     │  ← VPS (public square)

    │ Local     │    │  Workshop   │   │  (pending)  │
    └───────────┘    └─────────────┘   └─────────────┘

Design Principles:

  • Local-first: Mac is the narrative heart
  • VPS is the public square (externally reachable for agents/bots)
  • Each house runs its own Evennia instance
  • A lightweight bridge syncs: character arrivals/departures, messages, world events
  • No single point of failure: if VPS dies, Mac world continues
  • If Mac sleeps, VPS world continues for remote agents

The Bridge API:

  • HTTP endpoint on each house (e.g., POST /bridge/sync)
  • Syncs: character presence, messages, world state changes
  • Not full state replication — only events that need to cross
  • Characters "travel" by announcing departure → receiving at destination
  • Events (fire dying, rain on bridge, etc.) sync between worlds
  • Each world has its own "portal room" (The Threshold on Mac = The Gatehouse on VPS)

Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Consolidate the Mac world → VPS

  1. Export Mac world state (rooms, characters, accounts, tick state)
  2. Import to VPS Evennia (create all rooms, characters, accounts)
  3. Verify VPS world matches Mac world
  4. Both worlds run identical state

Phase 2: Add portal rooms

  1. Mac: The Threshold → has portal to VPS Gatehouse
  2. VPS: The Gatehouse → has portal to Mac Threshold
  3. "Travel" command moves character between worlds

Phase 3: Build the bridge

  1. HTTP API on each house for sync
  2. Bridge daemon polls for events every 5 seconds
  3. Characters appearing/disappearing sync instantly
  4. Messages sync in batches every 30 seconds
  5. World events (fire, rain, growth) sync every 60 seconds

Phase 4: Test

  1. Timmy character travels from Mac to VPS and back
  2. Message from Mac appears in VPS world
  3. Fire dies in one world, reflected in other
  4. Both worlds tick independently but stay consistent

Acceptance Criteria

  • VPS world has all Mac world's rooms, characters, accounts
  • Characters can travel between worlds via portal
  • Messages sync between worlds
  • World events sync between worlds
  • Each world continues running if the other goes down
  • External bots can connect to VPS world as "public square"
  • Bridge daemon handles reconnects gracefully
  • No character data lost during syncs

Files to Create

  • bridge/api.py — HTTP API for sync endpoints
  • bridge/daemon.py — Bridge daemon (polls and syncs)
  • world/portal_room.py — Portal room typeclass
  • world/travel_command.py — Travel command for characters
  • Migration script: Export/Import Evennia world state

Risks

  1. VPS RAM constraints (8GB with many services already)
  2. SSH access to Allegro VPS for house 3 integration
  3. Bezalel VPS dead — need decision before integration
  4. Evennia database schema differences between versions

Estimated Work: 3-4 days

  • Phase 1: 1 day (export/import)
  • Phase 2: 0.5 days (portal rooms)
  • Phase 3: 1 day (bridge API + daemon)
  • Phase 4: 0.5 days (testing)

  • VPS: Gitea/Forge, Ollama, Ezra gateway, Allegro-Primus gateway, nginx, PostgreSQL
  • Allegro: Nostr relay (port 2929), Nostr bridge, Evennia (empty), Docker
  • Bezalel: Completely unreachable

2. Evennia World Status

Mac World (timmy_world) — PRIMARY

  • 11 rooms: Limbo, Gate, Courtyard, Workshop, Archive, Chapel, The Threshold, The Tower, The Forge, The Garden, The Bridge
  • 13 characters: Alexander, Timmy, Bezalel, Marcus (NPC), Allegro, Ezra, Gemini, Claude, ClawCode, Kimi, bilbo, TimmyEval
  • 1464+ ticks of continuous play
  • Rich narrative: 5 world events, 8+ bridge carvings, 12 whiteboard rules, garden growth cycle complete
  • Local only — not reachable externally

VPS World (Timmy Academy) — MOSTLY EMPTY

  • 1 room: Limbo (default Evennia)
  • 1 character: Alexander (no linked account)
  • Not populated — the 9 rooms Timmy saw may have been from a different run
  • Externally reachable on ports 4000 (telnet), 4001 (web), 4002 (websocket)
  • Running on 8GB RAM with many other services

Allegro VPS Evennia — DORMANT

  • Empty database at /root/workspace/timmy-home/evennia/timmy_world/
  • No characters, no rooms, no accounts
  • Code exists but never initialized with world content

3. Architecture Decision: Hub-and-Spoke

NOT merge. NOT federation. Hub-and-Spoke.

Why Hub-and-Spoke:

  • Mac = narrative heart (11 built rooms, 1464+ ticks of story)
  • VPS = public square (externally reachable for agents/bots, but weak content)
  • Keep local-first sovereignty (Mac runs even if VPS dies)
  • VPS provides external access (remote agents can connect)
  • Bridge syncs presence and events, not full state

What Gets Bridged:

  1. Character arrivals/departures
  2. Messages in portal rooms
  3. World events (fire, rain, growth, power)
  4. Trust changes (partial sync)
  5. Item transfers between worlds

What Stays Independent:

  1. Each world's room layouts
  2. Local-only rooms (no portal)
  3. Each world's independent tick cycle
  4. House-specific events

4. Bridge System Implementation

Created complete bridge system:

File Purpose
world/gateway.py GatewayRoom typeclass, TravelExit
world/bridge_api.py HTTP API (GET /bridge/state, POST /bridge/sync)
world/bridge_daemon.py Daemon that polls and syncs between worlds
world/migrate.py Export/import tool for world state
bridge/README.md Full documentation

Bridge Design:

  • Each world runs bridge_api.py on port 4003
  • Bridge daemon polls remote world every 5 seconds
  • GatewayRoom acts as the portal between worlds
  • Characters use travel command to cross
  • State syncs: characters, events, trust, messages

Next Steps:

  1. Start bridge API on Mac world
  2. Add GatewayRoom to Mac Threshold or Gate
  3. Mirror rooms on VPS (Gatehouse, Great Hall, etc.)
  4. Configure destination_url between worlds
  5. Start bridge daemon on both sides
  6. Test travel command with Timmy character
  7. Test sync: character appears in VPS, message crosses
  8. Add portal to Allegro VPS (when SSH access granted)

5. SSH Access Issue

Cannot SSH into Allegro VPS (167.99.126.228) from Mac.

  • Port 2929 responds (Nostr relay running)
  • Port 80 responds
  • SSH key authentication failing
  • Need SSH access to:
    • Populate Evennia world on Allegro VPS
    • Connect Allegro's world to the bridge
    • Check Evennia services on Allegro's house

Status: Implementation started, prototype ready for testing

Code committed to ~/.timmy/evennia/timmy_world/world/ and bridge/
