Rebinding vllm-chat was the expensive option: Petal, Gogobee and Open WebUI all point at 127.0.0.1:8000, and Open WebUI keeps its endpoint in its own database rather than in env, so moving the bind address meant editing three consumers and reloading a 35B AWQ model. The socat unit adds a second listener on the headscale address instead -- local callers untouched, no downtime, and the only new exposure is on the VPN. Bound to 100.64.0.2 specifically, never 0.0.0.0: the far end is a public host. Verified: a grammar checkpoint from petal.parodia.dev returns real suggestions in ~3s over the VPN. Also documents two things found on millenia that were invisible from outside it: - Piper had been dead since the Jul 26 reboot, 26,800+ failed restarts, with read-aloud silently falling back to browser Web Speech. An OS upgrade moved /usr/bin/python3 from 3.13 to 3.14, and venv/bin/python3 is a symlink to the system interpreter, so lib/python3.13/site-packages went invisible -- sys.path had no site-packages at all. Recreating the venv lands Piper 1.6.0, which is what TTS_PATH exists for. - The canonical instance has no automated backup (newest snapshot a month old) and runs unsupervised with PPID 1. Both written down; the backup one is pending the encryption-at-rest decision. Backups on the VPS now ride parodia-backup (age-encrypted, offsite, S3), using VACUUM INTO rather than that script's iterdump helper -- iterdump does not reproduce an FTS5 virtual table, so a restore would have come back with cross-document search silently missing.
🌸 Petal
A self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor with warm bubbly design, auto-save, and
local-LLM grammar/ESL suggestions. See petal-spec.md for the full
design spec and BUILD_PLAN.md for build progress.
Stack
Go + chi backend · SQLite (modernc, pure Go) · React + Vite + Tiptap + Tailwind v4 frontend ·
local vLLM/Ollama for AI suggestions. Single-binary deployment (frontend embedded via go:embed).
Local development
Two processes during development:
# 1. Backend (serves /api on :8080)
go run ./cmd/server
# 2. Frontend dev server (HMR on :5173, proxies /api → :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
Open http://localhost:5173 while developing.
Production build (single binary)
cd web && npm run build # emits web/dist (embedded by the Go binary)
cd .. && go build -o petal ./cmd/server
./petal # serves UI + API on :8080
Configuration is via environment variables — copy .env.example to .env.
Deployment
docker compose up -d --build # petal + the two Piper read-aloud sidecars
Behind Traefik on the parodia.dev VPS; vLLM stays on millenia over headscale.
Full runbook — first deploy, the LLM link, backups and restore — in
deploy/README.md.
Status
Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik OIDC) is next; Copyleaks plagiarism is
still parked — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
