D-ND Self-Setup — Node Discovery & Configuration

Run this after installing the d-nd-core plugin to configure it for your environment.

What it does

1. Environment scan: Detects available repos, tools, access
2. Capability mapping: Tests SSH, Docker, API connectivity
3. Configuration: Writes .env.d-nd with discovered settings

Setup procedure

Step 1 — Detect environment

echo "=== D-ND Node Discovery ==="
echo "Hostname: $(hostname)"
echo "User: $(whoami)"
echo "OS: $(uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo 'Windows')"
echo "CWD: $(pwd)"
echo ""

# Detect repos
echo "## Detected Repositories"
for dir in */; do
    if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then
        commit=$(git -C "$dir" rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null)
        branch=$(git -C "$dir" branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)
        echo "  $dir — $branch @ $commit"
    fi
done
echo ""

# Detect capabilities
echo "## Capabilities"
command -v ssh >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "  SSH: available" || echo "  SSH: not available"
command -v docker >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "  Docker: available" || echo "  Docker: not available"
command -v node >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "  Node.js: $(node --version 2>/dev/null)" || echo "  Node.js: not available"
command -v python3 >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "  Python: $(python3 --version 2>/dev/null)" || echo "  Python: not available"
command -v git >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "  Git: $(git --version 2>/dev/null)" || echo "  Git: not available"
echo ""

# Test API connectivity (if configured)
if [ -n "$DND_VPS_IP" ]; then
    echo "## API Connectivity"
    curl -s --max-time 3 "http://${DND_VPS_IP}:${DND_VPS_PORT:-3002}/api/status" \
        -H "X-Auth-Token: ${DND_API_TOKEN}" >/dev/null 2>&1 \
        && echo "  API: reachable" || echo "  API: unreachable"
fi

Step 2 — Set identity

Based on discovery results, set these environment variables in your shell profile or .env.d-nd:

# D-ND Node Configuration
export DND_NODE_ID="MY_NODE"          # Your node identifier
export DND_PROJECT_DIR="/path/to"     # Base project directory
export DND_VPS_IP=""                  # Server IP (if applicable)
export DND_VPS_PORT="3002"            # API port (if applicable)
export DND_API_TOKEN=""               # API auth token (if applicable)

Step 3 — Verify

Run /d-nd-core:system-check to verify everything works.

Node roles

Nodes are identified by their capabilities, not by fixed names:

Capability	Description
Full access	SSH, Docker, all repos, deploy
Development	Code editor, local repos, test environment
Satellite	Autonomous project, receives seed updates
Specialized	Specific domain (design, finance, research)

The operator assigns the role. The system adapts.

$ARGUMENTS

Eval

Trigger Tests

"set up my node" -> activates

"configure d-nd" -> activates

"first time setup" -> activates

"deploy" -> does NOT activate

Fidelity Tests

Given fresh environment: detects repos, capabilities, outputs config template

Given configured environment: reports current config, suggests updates if needed
