    Open-Inspect Deployment Guide

    You are guiding the user through deploying their own instance of Open-Inspect. This is a multi-phase process requiring user interaction for credential collection and external service configuration.

    Before Starting

    Use TodoWrite to create a checklist tracking these phases:

    1. Initial setup questions
    2. Repository setup
    3. Credential collection (Cloudflare, Vercel, Modal, Anthropic)
    4. GitHub App creation (+ Google OAuth if enabled)
    5. Slack App creation (if enabled)
    6. Security secrets generation
    7. Terraform configuration
    8. Terraform deployment (two phases)
    9. Post-deployment Slack setup (if enabled)
    10. Post-deployment GitHub Bot setup (if enabled)
    11. Web app deployment
    12. Verification
    13. CI/CD setup (optional)

    Phase 1: Initial Questions

    First, generate a random suffix suggestion for the user:

    echo "Suggested deployment name: $(openssl rand -hex 3)"
    

    Use AskUserQuestion to gather:

    1. Directory location - Where to create the project (default: current directory or ~/workplace/open-inspect-{suffix})
    2. GitHub account - Which account/org hosts the private repo
    3. Deployment name - A globally unique identifier for URLs (e.g., their GitHub username, company name, or the random suffix generated above). Explain this creates URLs like open-inspect-{deployment_name}.vercel.app and must be unique across all Vercel users.
    4. Slack integration - Yes or No
    5. GitHub bot integration - Yes or No (automated PR reviews and comment-triggered actions)
    6. Prerequisites confirmation - Confirm they have accounts on Cloudflare, Vercel, Modal, Anthropic

    Phase 2: Repository Setup

    Execute these commands (substitute values from Phase 1):

    mkdir -p {directory_path}
    gh repo create {github_account}/open-inspect-{name} --private --description "Open-Inspect deployment"
    cd {directory_path}
    git clone git@github.com:ColeMurray/open-inspect.git .
    git remote rename origin upstream
    git remote add origin git@github.com:{github_account}/open-inspect-{name}.git
    git push -u origin main
    npm install
    npm run build -w @open-inspect/shared
    

    Phase 3: Credential Collection

    Hand off to user for each service. Use AskUserQuestion to collect credentials.

    Cloudflare

    Tell the user:

    • Account ID: Found in dashboard URL or account overview
    • Workers Subdomain: Workers & Pages → Overview, bottom-right panel shows *.YOUR-SUBDOMAIN.workers.dev
    • API Token: Create at https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens with template "Edit Cloudflare Workers" + permissions for Workers KV Storage (Edit), Workers R2 Storage (Edit), D1 (Edit)

    R2 Bucket

    Check wrangler login status, then create bucket:

    wrangler whoami
    wrangler r2 bucket create open-inspect-{name}-tf-state
    

    Tell user to create R2 API Token at R2 → Overview → Manage R2 API Tokens with "Object Read & Write" permission.

    Vercel

    • API Token: https://vercel.com/account/tokens
    • Team/Account ID: Settings → "Your ID" (even personal accounts have one, usually starts with team_)

    Modal

    • Token ID and Secret: https://modal.com/settings or modal token new
    • Workspace name: Visible in Modal dashboard URL

    Then set the token:

    modal token set --token-id {token_id} --token-secret {token_secret}
    modal profile current
    

    Anthropic

    • API Key: https://console.anthropic.com (starts with sk-ant-)

    Phase 4: GitHub App Setup

    Guide user through creating a GitHub App (handles both OAuth and repo access):

    1. Go to https://github.com/settings/apps → "New GitHub App"
    2. Name: Open-Inspect-{YourName} (globally unique)
    3. Homepage URL: https://open-inspect-{deployment_name}.vercel.app
    4. Webhook: Uncheck "Active"
    5. Callback URL (under "Identifying and authorizing users"): https://open-inspect-{deployment_name}.vercel.app/api/auth/callback/github
      • CRITICAL: Must match deployed Vercel URL exactly!
    6. Repository permissions: Contents (Read & Write), Issues (Read & Write), Pull requests (Read & Write), Metadata (Read-only)
    7. Create app, note App ID
    8. Generate Client Secret, note Client ID and Client Secret
    9. Generate Private Key (downloads .pem file)
    10. Install app on account, note Installation ID from URL

    After receiving the .pem path, convert to PKCS#8:

    openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in {pem_path} -out /tmp/github-app-key-pkcs8.pem
    cat /tmp/github-app-key-pkcs8.pem
    

    Phase 4b: Google OAuth Setup (If Enabled)

    Only if the user wants Google login for non-developer users (PMs, support agents). Skip for GitHub-only deployments — leave google_client_id and google_client_secret empty.

    Guide user:

    1. https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials → "Create Credentials" → "OAuth client ID"
    2. Application type: Web application
    3. Authorized redirect URI: https://open-inspect-{deployment_name}.vercel.app/api/auth/callback/google (or your *.workers.dev web URL if web_platform = "cloudflare")
      • CRITICAL: Must match deployed web URL exactly!
    4. OAuth consent screen: request only openid, email, profile scopes (non-sensitive — no Google verification review required)
    5. Note Client ID and Client Secret

    Then in terraform.tfvars:

    • Set google_client_id and google_client_secret (both required together; leave both empty to disable)
    • Add at least one entry to allowed_emails (exact addresses, e.g. pm@gmail.com) or allowed_email_domains. Prefer allowed_emails for shared domains like gmail.com.

    Terraform derives NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ENABLED automatically when both Google credentials are set, which reveals the "Sign in with Google" button. Google users get the same flat access; their PRs fall back to the App bot unless the same verified email is also a linked GitHub identity.

    Phase 5: Slack App Setup (If Enabled)

    Guide user:

    1. https://api.slack.com/apps → "Create New App" → "From scratch"
    2. OAuth & Permissions → Add scopes: app_mentions:read, chat:write, channels:history, channels:read, groups:history, groups:read, im:history, im:read, reactions:write
    3. Install to Workspace, note Bot Token (xoxb-...)
    4. Basic Information → note Signing Secret
    5. App Home and Event Subscriptions configured AFTER deployment (worker must be running for URL verification)

    Phase 6: Generate Security Secrets

    echo "token_encryption_key: $(openssl rand -base64 32)"
    echo "repo_secrets_encryption_key: $(openssl rand -base64 32)"
    echo "internal_callback_secret: $(openssl rand -base64 32)"
    echo "nextauth_secret: $(openssl rand -base64 32)"
    echo "modal_api_secret: $(openssl rand -hex 32)"
    echo "github_webhook_secret: $(openssl rand -hex 32)"  # Only if GitHub bot enabled
    

    Phase 7: Terraform Configuration

    Create terraform/environments/production/backend.tfvars:

    access_key = "{r2_access_key}"
    secret_key = "{r2_secret_key}"
    bucket     = "open-inspect-{name}-tf-state"
    endpoints = {
      s3 = "https://{cloudflare_account_id}.r2.cloudflarestorage.com"
    }
    

    Create terraform/environments/production/terraform.tfvars with all collected values. Set:

    enable_durable_object_bindings = false
    enable_service_bindings        = false
    

    If GitHub bot is enabled, also set:

    enable_github_bot     = true
    github_webhook_secret = "{generated_value}"
    github_bot_username   = "{app-slug}[bot]"
    

    Phase 8: Terraform Deployment (Two-Phase)

    Important: Build the workers before running Terraform (Terraform references the built bundles):

    npm run build -w @open-inspect/control-plane -w @open-inspect/slack-bot -w @open-inspect/github-bot
    

    Phase 1 (bindings disabled):

    cd terraform/environments/production
    terraform init -backend-config=backend.tfvars
    terraform apply
    

    Phase 2 (after Phase 1 succeeds): Update tfvars to set both bindings to true, then:

    terraform apply
    

    Phase 9: Complete Slack Setup (If Enabled)

    After Terraform deployment, guide user:

    Enable App Home

    1. App Home → Show Tabs → Enable "Home Tab"
    2. Save Changes

    The App Home provides a settings interface where users can configure their preferred Claude model.

    Configure Event Subscriptions

    1. Event Subscriptions → Enable → Request URL: https://open-inspect-slack-bot-{deployment_name}.{subdomain}.workers.dev/events
    2. Wait for "Verified" checkmark
    3. Subscribe to bot events: app_home_opened, app_mention, message.im

    Configure Interactivity

    1. Interactivity → Enable → Request URL: https://open-inspect-slack-bot-{deployment_name}.{subdomain}.workers.dev/interactions

    Invite Bot to Channels

    1. Invite bot to channels: /invite @BotName

    Phase 10: Complete GitHub Bot Setup (If Enabled)

    After Terraform deployment, guide user:

    Configure Webhook on GitHub App

    1. Go to GitHub App settings → your app
    2. Under Webhook: check "Active"
    3. Webhook URL: https://open-inspect-github-bot-{deployment_name}.{subdomain}.workers.dev/webhooks/github
    4. Webhook secret: Enter the github_webhook_secret value
    5. Under Subscribe to events, check: Pull requests, Issue comments, Pull request review comments
    6. Save changes

    Find Bot Username

    The bot username is the App's slug with [bot] appended. E.g., if the app is My-Inspect-App, the bot username is my-inspect-app[bot]. Confirm this matches github_bot_username in terraform.tfvars.

    Usage

    • Code Review: Assign the bot as a PR reviewer
    • Comment Actions: @mention the bot in a PR comment with instructions

    Phase 11: Web App Deployment

    npx vercel link --project open-inspect-{deployment_name}
    npx vercel --prod
    

    Phase 12: Verification

    curl https://open-inspect-control-plane-{deployment_name}.{subdomain}.workers.dev/health
    curl https://{workspace}--open-inspect-api-health.modal.run
    curl -I https://open-inspect-{deployment_name}.vercel.app
    

    Present deployment summary table. Instruct user to test: visit web app, sign in with GitHub, create session, send prompt.

    Phase 13: CI/CD Setup (Optional)

    Ask if user wants GitHub Actions CI/CD. If yes, use gh secret set for all required secrets.

    Error Handling

    • "redirect_uri is not associated": Callback URL mismatch - update GitHub App settings
    • Durable Object errors: Must follow two-phase deployment
    • Slack bot not responding: Check Event Subscriptions URL verified, bot invited to channel, reinstall if scopes changed
    • GitHub bot not responding: Check webhook URL, secret, enable_github_bot = true, and github_bot_username matches the App's bot login
    • Vercel build fails: Terraform configures the monorepo build commands automatically
    • "no such file or directory" for dist/index.js: Build workers before Terraform: npm run build -w @open-inspect/control-plane -w @open-inspect/slack-bot -w @open-inspect/github-bot
    • Worker deployment fails: Build shared package first: npm run build -w @open-inspect/shared

    Important Notes

    • Track all collected credentials securely throughout the process
    • Never log sensitive values
    • The callback URL MUST match the actual deployed Vercel URL
    • Two-phase Terraform deployment is required due to Cloudflare Durable Object constraints
