- New variable honcho_deriver_autostart controls service state/enabled
- honcho_deriver_enabled still controls whether Quadlet is created
- Default autostart=false after discovering deriver burns tokens autonomously
- Service is created but stopped/disabled; can be started manually if needed
Deploys Honcho (plastic-labs/honcho) as a rootful Podman + Quadlet
service on the lincoln VM (10.1.71.132). Three containers on a
user-defined network:
- honcho-postgres pgvector/pgvector:pg16
- honcho-api FastAPI on :8000
- honcho-deriver background worker for theory-of-mind derivations
LLM provider: Anthropic Claude (claude-sonnet-4-5). Switching providers
is two env-var changes — see README.
Traefik route hall-of-presidents.local.mk-labs.cloud -> lincoln:8000
added under boilerplates/traefik/dynamic/. JARVIS itself talks to
Honcho directly at lincoln:8000 (east-west); the Traefik alias exists
only for browser access to the Swagger /docs UI.
Requires three new vault entries before first run:
- vault_honcho_database_password
- vault_honcho_jwt_secret
- vault_honcho_anthropic_api_key
