Summary

  • Add Paperclip (AI agent orchestration platform) as a systemd service on kyber
  • Config generated via builtins.toJSON — uses external docker-postgres on kyber, embedded-postgres on macOS
  • Setup script auto-creates paperclip database on kyber's docker-postgres
  • make systemctl-paperclip for service management

Files

  • config/paperclip/ — Nix config activation + setup script
  • home-manager/modules/paperclip/ — systemd service (kyber-only, depends on docker-postgres)
  • Makefilesystemctl-paperclip target
  • package.jsonpaperclipai bun dependency

Test plan

  • make format passes
  • make switch on kyber generates ~/.paperclip/instances/default/config.json
  • make systemctl-paperclip starts the service
  • paperclip.shunkakinoki.com accessible behind basic auth (requires devops PR merged + Cloudflare DNS deployed)

Summary by cubic

Adds Paperclip as a systemd user service on kyber with Nix-managed config and automatic Postgres provisioning. Switches to a template-based config generator and renames the setup script to hydrate.sh.

  • New Features

    • Systemd user service on kyber; depends on docker-postgres; runs paperclipai run.
    • Nix writes ~/.paperclip/instances/default/config.json; kyber uses Postgres, others use embedded.
    • Setup script auto-creates the paperclip DB on the postgres Docker container.
    • make systemctl-paperclip added and included in make systemctl.
  • Refactors

    • Generate config from config.template.json via sed substitution; rename setup.sh to hydrate.sh.
    • Add spec/paperclip_hydrate_spec.sh and fix shellcheck directives.

Written for commit 4979bba. Summary will update on new commits.

- Systemd service on kyber: runs `paperclipai run` via bun, depends on docker-postgres
- Config via builtins.toJSON: external postgres on kyber, embedded on macOS
- Setup script creates paperclip database on docker-postgres
- Makefile target: `make systemctl-paperclip`

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Paperclip integration: new Nix and Home Manager modules, a setup script that writes per-user config and optionally provisions a Docker Postgres DB on Kyber hosts, a systemd user service unit, package dependency, tests, and a Makefile systemctl target to restart the user service.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Makefile
Makefile
Added systemctl-paperclip phony target that conditionally runs systemctl --user daemon-reload and restarts paperclip.service when host equals kyber; added as dependency of aggregate systemctl target.
Nix config
config/default.nix, config/paperclip/default.nix
Included ./paperclip module; new module emits home.activation.paperclipConfig, writes a JSON config selecting postgres mode on Kyber or embedded-postgres otherwise, sets bind host/port, and injects vars into setup.sh.
Setup script
config/paperclip/setup.sh
New executable script that creates instance dir, writes config.json with 600 perms, and when is_kyber is true checks Docker and creates paperclip DB in a running postgres container if absent.
Home Manager modules
home-manager/modules/default.nix, home-manager/modules/paperclip/default.nix
Added module inclusion and new Home Manager module that (when host.isKyber) ensures directories and perms, defines systemd.user.services.paperclip with docker-postgres dependency, env loading from instance .env, logging, restart policy, and enables the service.
Package manifest
package.json
Added paperclipai dependency ^2026.325.0 and added it to trustedDependencies.
Tests / Coverage
spec/coverage_spec.sh, spec/paperclip_setup_spec.sh
Extended coverage checks to include config/paperclip/setup.sh and added spec/paperclip_setup_spec.sh validating shebang, strict mode, instance-dir/config handling, permissions, Docker/Postgres DB creation logic, and is_kyber gating.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the Paperclip AI agent orchestration platform, including its configuration, a setup script for database initialization, and a systemd user service specifically for the 'kyber' host. Feedback focuses on improving the reliability of the systemd service by avoiding volatile log directories in /tmp, making the environment file optional to prevent startup failures, and using more robust SQL queries instead of shell utilities like cut for database existence checks.

lib.mkIf host.isKyber {
# Ensure Paperclip directories exist with correct permissions
home.activation.paperclipSetup = config.lib.dag.entryAfter [ "writeBoundary" ] ''
mkdir -p /tmp/paperclip

Creating a log directory in /tmp during activation is unreliable because /tmp is cleared on reboot, but activation scripts do not typically run on every boot. This can lead to the service failing to start after a reboot if it expects the directory to exist. It is better to let the service manage its own logs via the journal or use a persistent path.

The general rules recommend avoiding cut for parsing command output. For checking PostgreSQL database existence, a direct query is more robust and avoids potential issues with space-containing fields or unexpected output formatting.

Suggested change
if ! docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -lqt | cut -d \| -f 1 | grep -qw paperclip; then
if ! docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -tAc "SELECT 1 FROM pg_database WHERE datname='paperclip'" | grep -q 1; then
References
  1. To robustly parse command output in shell scripts, use a unique delimiter (e.g., tab) in the format string and read with a matching IFS. This is safer than splitting by spaces with cut, especially when data fields might contain spaces.

If the .env file does not exist, systemd will fail to start the service. If this file is optional or manually created, you should prefix the path with - to allow the service to start without it.

Logging to /tmp is volatile and can cause the service to fail if the directory is missing after a reboot. It is recommended to use the systemd journal (the default) or a persistent path. Removing these lines will default logging to the journal, which is generally preferred for systemd services.

EnvironmentFile will cause the service to fail to start if ${instanceDir}/.env does not exist (systemd treats missing EnvironmentFile as an error unless it’s prefixed with -). Consider either creating an empty .env during activation (with restrictive permissions) or using EnvironmentFile = "-${instanceDir}/.env"; so the service can start with defaults.

The service logs to /tmp/paperclip/paperclip.log, but /tmp is typically cleared on reboot; since the directory is only created via Home Manager activation, the service can fail to start on the next login/boot when /tmp/paperclip is missing. Prefer a systemd-managed directory (e.g., RuntimeDirectory= / StateDirectory= / LogsDirectory=) or an ExecStartPre that ensures the log directory exists at service start (and set restrictive permissions).

connectionString (including username/password) is being written via pkgs.writeText, which places the full JSON (credentials included) in the Nix store where it is generally world-readable. If these credentials are meant to be secret (or even just to avoid baking defaults into the store), move them to an out-of-store secret (e.g., ${instanceDir}/.env/age/sops) and have the config reference env vars or omit the password for local trust/auth.

On kyber this binds Paperclip to 0.0.0.0, which makes it reachable from any network interface. If the intent is to serve only behind a local reverse proxy (or only via SSH tunnel), consider binding to 127.0.0.1 and letting the proxy handle external exposure; otherwise ensure host firewall / auth is enforced by default.

docker container inspect postgres succeeds even if the container exists but is stopped, so the subsequent docker exec ... will fail and the DB won’t be created. Consider checking that the container is running (e.g., inspect .State.Running or docker ps) before executing psql/createdb, or start the container explicitly.

In `@config/paperclip/default.nix`:
- Around line 39-41: The activation script currently silences all failures by
appending "|| true" to the setup invocation in home.activation.paperclipConfig;
remove that suffix so the setupScript errors propagate (or replace it with
explicit error handling that logs the failure and exits non‑zero), ensuring the
${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash ${setupScript} invocation returns a failing exit code on
error and writes diagnostic output (stderr/stdout) to logs before exiting so
issues like DB creation or permission errors are visible.

In `@config/paperclip/setup.sh`:
- Around line 1-10: The startup fails because the systemd unit expects
EnvironmentFile = "${instanceDir}/.env" but setup.sh only creates CONFIG; update
the script to also create a .env in INSTANCE_DIR (e.g., "${INSTANCE_DIR}/.env")
when missing, ensuring correct ownership/permissions (e.g., 600) and leaving it
empty or populating required vars; modify the section around INSTANCE_DIR,
CONFIG and the `@cp`@ "@config_file@" "$CONFIG" step to create or touch the .env
file so the systemd service can read it at startup.
- Around line 12-19: The current block uses docker exec postgres createdb
directly but doesn't wait for PostgreSQL to be ready; add a readiness check and
retry loop before calling docker exec postgres createdb. Specifically, after
verifying docker and the postgres container exist (the command -v docker and
docker container inspect postgres checks) call docker exec postgres pg_isready
(or docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -c '\l') in a loop with a small
sleep/backoff and a max retry count; only run docker exec postgres createdb -U
postgres paperclip and echo "Created paperclip database" >&2 once pg_isready
reports ready; if retries time out, log an error and skip/fail gracefully so
createdb isn't attempted against a not-ready server. Ensure the new logic
surrounds the existing docker exec postgres createdb invocation and preserves
existing checks for the postgres container.

In `@Makefile`:
- Around line 876-885: The success message is printed unconditionally in the
systemctl-paperclip Makefile target; change the logic so the final echo "✅
paperclip restarted" only runs when the restart branch executes. Modify the
target (systemctl-paperclip) to move or duplicate the success echo inside the if
branch that runs when DETECTED_HOST or HOST equals "kyber", or add a conditional
check around the final echo that tests "$(DETECTED_HOST)" or "$(HOST)" ==
"kyber" so the success message is only emitted when the service restart actually
occurred.

In `@package.json`:
- Line 59: The dependencies and trustedDependencies entries are out of
alphabetical order: move "paperclipai" so that "oxfmt" appears before
"paperclipai" in the dependencies object and apply the same ordering change
inside the trustedDependencies array; update the entries referencing "openclaw",
"oxfmt", and "paperclipai" to preserve alphabetical order in both the

host/port/db from environment variables or a secret store (e.g., POSTGRES_USER,
POSTGRES_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_HOST, POSTGRES_PORT, POSTGRES_DB) so secrets are not
checked into source control; update any documentation or examples referencing

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Silent failure suppression may hide critical setup errors.

The || true suffix causes all errors from the setup script to be silently ignored. This could mask failures like:

  • Database creation errors
  • Permission issues
  • Missing config file

Consider removing || true or adding explicit error handling with logging.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Missing .env file creation causes systemd service startup failure.

The systemd service in home-manager/modules/paperclip/default.nix specifies EnvironmentFile = "${instanceDir}/.env" (line 41), but this setup script only creates config.json. Without the .env file, systemd will fail to start the paperclip service.

Either:

  1. Create an empty .env file in this script, or
  2. Remove the EnvironmentFile directive from the service if no environment variables are needed, or
  3. Add logic to generate the required environment variables

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Database creation may fail if postgres container is not ready.

The script checks if the postgres container exists but doesn't verify that PostgreSQL is ready to accept connections. This can cause createdb to fail during initial setup when docker-postgres is starting.

unconditionally in the systemctl-paperclip Makefile target; change the logic so
the final echo "✅ paperclip restarted" only runs when the restart branch
executes. Modify the target (systemctl-paperclip) to move or duplicate the

"kyber", or add a conditional check around the final echo that tests

Line 48 currently checks only for the token is_kyber; that does not prove the true guard is enforced. Assert the actual conditional expression.

In `@spec/paperclip_setup_spec.sh` around lines 47 - 50, The test "It 'only runs
on kyber'" currently only greps for the token is_kyber; update the assertion to
check the actual conditional expression enforcing the guard (e.g., grep for the
if-test that compares the variable to true such as if [ "$is_kyber" = "true" ]
or the equivalent conditional used in the script) so the spec verifies the guard
is true rather than just the variable name.

* feat: add paperclip service (#1342)

* feat: add paperclip service

- Systemd service on kyber: runs `paperclipai run` via bun, depends on docker-postgres
- Config via builtins.toJSON: external postgres on kyber, embedded on macOS
- Setup script creates paperclip database on docker-postgres
- Makefile target: `make systemctl-paperclip`

* fix: add shellcheck disable and shell test coverage for paperclip

* fix: correct shellcheck disable directive syntax

* refactor: use config.template.json pattern for paperclip

* refactor: rename setup.sh to hydrate.sh for paperclip

* test: add auto-switch hook tests and update coverage spec

* fix: remove EnvironmentFile from paperclip service (#1344)

* fix: paperclip authenticated mode and required config fields (#1345)

* fix: remove EnvironmentFile from paperclip service

* fix: use authenticated mode on kyber, add required meta/logging fields

* fix: add allowedHostnames for paperclip.shunkakinoki.com

* fix: format config template json

* fix: use trust auth for docker-postgres (#1346)

POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust removes password auth for all
connections. The password kept going out of sync after crash recovery,
causing paperclip and other services to fail with 'password
authentication failed'. Safe since postgres is only reachable from
the host.

* fix: use k8s postgres via DATABASE_URL, remove docker-postgres dep, add authenticated mode (#1347)

* fix: use bun runtime for paperclip (pino-http node crash), k8s postgres via DATABASE_URL (#1348)

* fix: use nix-profile bun path for paperclip service (#1350)

* fix: add caret prefix to paperclipai dependency (#1349)

* fix: use extra-substituters to avoid untrusted user warnings (#1351)

* fix: run paperclip from cloned repo via pnpm dev:once (#1352)

* fix: run paperclip from cloned repo via pnpm dev:once

The global bun install flattens pino@10 + pino-http@10.5 together,
but pino-http needs pino@9. The repo lockfile resolves this correctly
with nested dependencies. Running from the repo avoids the crash.

* fix: use bun run server/src/index.ts instead of pnpm dev:once

* fix: pin pino@9.14.0 override, run paperclipai from dotfiles node_modules

The bun flat hoisting was resolving pino@10 which is incompatible
with pino-http@10.5. Pinning pino to 9.14.0 via overrides matches
the paperclip repo's lockfile resolution and fixes the crash.

* fix: use global bun paperclipai with pino override (#1353)

* fix: use global ~/.bun/bin/paperclipai with pino override

Propagate overrides from dotfiles package.json to ~/.bun/install/global/
so the global binary resolves pino@9.14.0 correctly.

* test: add tests for npm-globals dependency overrides

* fix: resolve GitHub Actions failures and code review issues

- Fix non-portable \s regex to [[:space:]] in auto-switch.sh (shfmt compat)
- Add jq dependency check alongside cswap
- Use printf instead of echo for safer output
- Fix claude-swap version from >=1.1.5 (non-existent) to >=0.7.1
- Add auto-switch.sh to Nix deployment config (default.nix)
- Sort covered_scripts list alphabetically in coverage_spec.sh
