Peregrine → xanderland.tv Setup Handoff
Written from: dev machine (CircuitForge dev env) Target: xanderland.tv (beta tester, rootful Podman + systemd) Date: 2026-02-27
What we're doing
Getting Peregrine running on the beta tester's server as a Podman container managed by systemd. He already runs SearXNG and other services in the same style — rootful Podman with --net=host, --restart=unless-stopped, registered as systemd units.
The script podman-standalone.sh in the repo root handles the container setup.
Step 1 — Get the repo onto xanderland.tv
From navi (or directly if you have a route):
ssh xanderland.tv "sudo git clone <repo-url> /opt/peregrine"
Or if it's already there, just pull:
ssh xanderland.tv "cd /opt/peregrine && sudo git pull"
Step 2 — Verify /opt/peregrine looks right
ssh xanderland.tv "ls /opt/peregrine"
Expect to see: Dockerfile, compose.yml, manage.sh, podman-standalone.sh, config/, app/, scripts/, etc.
Step 3 — Config
ssh xanderland.tv
cd /opt/peregrine
sudo mkdir -p data
sudo cp config/llm.yaml.example config/llm.yaml
sudo cp config/notion.yaml.example config/notion.yaml # only if he wants Notion sync
Then edit config/llm.yaml and set searxng_url to his existing SearXNG instance
(default is http://localhost:8888 — confirm his actual port).
He won't need Anthropic/OpenAI keys to start — the setup wizard lets him pick local Ollama or whatever he has running.
Step 4 — Fix DOCS_DIR in the script
The script defaults DOCS_DIR=/Library/Documents/JobSearch which is the original user's path.
Update it to wherever his job search documents actually live, or a placeholder empty dir:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/peregrine/docs # placeholder if he has no docs yet
Then edit the script:
sudo sed -i 's|DOCS_DIR=.*|DOCS_DIR=/opt/peregrine/docs|' /opt/peregrine/podman-standalone.sh
Step 5 — Build the image
ssh xanderland.tv "cd /opt/peregrine && sudo podman build -t localhost/peregrine:latest ."
Takes a few minutes on first run (downloads python:3.11-slim, installs deps).
Step 6 — Run the script
ssh xanderland.tv "sudo bash /opt/peregrine/podman-standalone.sh"
This starts a single container (peregrine) with --net=host and --restart=unless-stopped.
SearXNG is NOT included — his existing instance is used.
Verify it came up:
ssh xanderland.tv "sudo podman ps | grep peregrine"
ssh xanderland.tv "sudo podman logs peregrine"
Health check endpoint: http://xanderland.tv:8501/_stcore/health
Step 7 — Register as a systemd service
ssh xanderland.tv
sudo podman generate systemd --new --name peregrine \
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/peregrine.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now peregrine
Confirm:
sudo systemctl status peregrine
Step 8 — First-run wizard
Open http://xanderland.tv:8501 in a browser.
The setup wizard (page 0) will gate the app until config/user.yaml is created.
He'll fill in his profile — name, resume, LLM backend preferences. This writes
config/user.yaml and unlocks the rest of the UI.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check |
|---|---|
| Container exits immediately | sudo podman logs peregrine — usually a missing config file |
| Port 8501 already in use | sudo ss -tlnp | grep 8501 — something else on that port |
| SearXNG not reachable | Confirm searxng_url in config/llm.yaml and that JSON format is enabled in SearXNG settings |
| Wizard loops / won't save | config/ volume mount permissions — sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/peregrine/config |
To update Peregrine later
cd /opt/peregrine
sudo git pull
sudo podman build -t localhost/peregrine:latest .
sudo podman restart peregrine
No need to touch the systemd unit — it launches fresh via --new in the generate step.
