Problem

Lighthouse VPS at 67.205.155.108 is completely down. Not responding to ping or SSH.

Diagnosis (2026-04-03)

  • SSH: ssh: connect to host 67.205.155.108 port 22: Operation timed out
  • Ping: 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
  • Impact: Allegro is fully offline. Cannot respond to Telegram. All services on this VPS are down.

Required Action

  1. Immediate: Reboot via DigitalOcean console (no doctl/API access from Mac currently)
    • Login to DO dashboard → Droplets → Lighthouse → Power → Power Cycle
  2. Post-reboot: SSH in, check systemd services, verify Hermes/Allegro process is running
  3. Root cause: Check /var/log/syslog, journalctl -b -1 for what caused the crash
  4. Prevention: Set up DO monitoring alerts + auto-recovery

Context

  • This is the Allegro/Lighthouse VPS that runs Allegro wizard
  • Allegro's checkpoint repo: allegro/allegro-checkpoint
  • Household snapshots: allegro/household-snapshots
  • No DigitalOcean CLI (doctl) installed on Mac - needs manual console intervention

Acceptance Criteria

  • VPS responds to ping
  • SSH access restored
  • Allegro process running and responding to Telegram
  • Root cause identified in journal logs

Update: Allegro Revived on Main VPS (2026-04-03)

Root Cause

Allegro's Lighthouse VPS (67.205.155.108) is completely dead - not even pingable. However, Allegro was already migrated to the main VPS (143.198.27.163) as hermes-allegro.service.

The service was crash-looping because:

  1. No Telegram token in the active .env (stripped during migration, only in backup .env.bak)
  2. No Telegram platform configured in config.yaml
  3. Token conflict: Ezra and Allegro shared the same bot token (8303...)

Fix Applied

  1. Restored Telegram token + config vars to Allegro's .env
  2. Added telegram: enabled: true to Allegro's config.yaml
  3. Removed Telegram token from Ezra's .env (Ezra is the scribe - API only)
  4. Disabled Telegram platform in Ezra's config.yaml
  5. Clean restart of all three gateways

Current State

  • ✅ Allegro: Telegram CONNECTED, API CONNECTED
  • ✅ Bezalel: Telegram CONNECTED, API CONNECTED
  • ✅ Ezra: API CONNECTED (no Telegram, by design)
  • ✅ All three systemd services active

Still Open

  • Lighthouse VPS needs reboot via DigitalOcean console
  • Root cause of Lighthouse crash unknown
  • Consider decommissioning Lighthouse if all wizards now run on main VPS

Correction: Allegro VPS is 167.99.126.228, not 67.205.155.108

Actual Root Cause

Allegro's VPS was UP all along at 167.99.126.228. The Telegram bot token in his .env was garbage — looked like the HOME_CHANNEL value got pasted in the token field. Bezalel's token on same VPS was also invalid (rejected by Telegram).

Fix Applied (2026-04-03)

  1. Retrieved real Allegro bot token (8303...) from main VPS backup
  2. Injected correct token into /root/wizards/allegro/home/.env
  3. Added missing TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL
  4. Restarted hermes-allegro service
  5. Killed orphan Bezalel process on Allegro VPS (Bezalel now lives on main VPS with local Gemma)
  6. Disabled duplicate hermes-allegro on main VPS

Final Architecture

Wizard VPS Telegram Backend
Allegro 167.99.126.228 (Allegro VPS) CONNECTED Kimi Code
Bezalel 143.198.27.163 (Main VPS) CONNECTED Local Gemma 4 E4B
Ezra 143.198.27.163 (Main VPS) Disabled (API only) Kimi Code

Verified

  • ✅ Allegro Telegram connected
  • ✅ Bezalel Telegram connected
  • ✅ Gemma 4 llama-server healthy (port 11435)
  • ✅ All systemd services active
