Some checks failed
Removes the entire Matrix-based notifier (internal/notifier/) that polled
for pending approvals, sent Matrix alerts, and checked for reaction-based
approve/deny. Approval decisions now work on any chat platform (Hermes
desktop, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, CLI) via two new MCP tools:
- list_approvals — query pending/recent approvals by status or entity
- decide_approval — approve/deny via same API endpoint as UI + nomos
Config fields removed: MatrixHomeserver, MatrixUserID, MatrixToken,
MatrixRoomID, ApprovalHMACSecret. Docker notifier: service removed.
Approval HMAC token generation removed (unused by code).
The existing chat-assent path in nomos (cmd/nomos/assent.go) and the
control-room Approve button keep working unchanged — both call the
shared POST /api/v1/approvals/{id}/decision endpoint.

# Oikos
|
|
|
|
Agentic homelab operating system written in Go. Single binary (`cmd/oikos`),
|
|
Docker-deployed on mac-mini, with a standalone Nomos MCP agent gateway
|
|
(`cmd/nomos`). Manages the **hubris** Proxmox homelab autonomously — observes
|
|
state, classifies actions against policy, executes approved procedures over SSH,
|
|
learns from outcomes, and escalates when uncertain.
|
|
|
|
**For agents running on enrolled clients:** start with [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md).
|
|
**For client machines:** see [CLIENTS.md](CLIENTS.md).
|
|
**For developers:** see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Dev stack (postgres + api + scheduler). The api/nomos
|
|
# services need a shared token — every route requires a real bearer
|
|
# credential, there's no dev-open bypass.
|
|
OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN=dev-token docker compose --profile dev up -d
|
|
|
|
# Full stack (adds Nomos agent gateway)
|
|
OIKOS_MCP_BEARER_TOKEN=dev-token docker compose --profile full up -d
|
|
|
|
# Build standalone binary
|
|
go build -o bin/oikos -tags timetzdata ./cmd/oikos
|
|
|
|
# Run all roles in one process (dev mode)
|
|
OIKOS_DATABASE_URL="postgres://oikos:oikos_dev@localhost:5432/oikos?sslmode=disable" \
|
|
OIKOS_API_TOKEN=dev-token \
|
|
go run ./cmd/oikos all
|
|
|
|
# Control-room SPA (separate from the Go binary — see web/)
|
|
cd web && OIKOS_API_TOKEN=dev-token npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Operations
|
|
|
|
### API endpoints
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_API_TOKEN" \
|
|
http://localhost:8090/api/v1/entities?type=service # fleet
|
|
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_API_TOKEN" \
|
|
http://localhost:8090/api/v1/health # fleet health
|
|
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OIKOS_API_TOKEN" \
|
|
http://localhost:8090/api/v1/agent-activity # agent log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Nomos queries
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Structured tool call
|
|
curl -X POST localhost:8092/query -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"tool":"get_blast_radius","args":{"entity_id":"service:authentik"}}'
|
|
|
|
# Natural language
|
|
curl -X POST localhost:8092/query -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"query":"what depends on authentik?"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CLI
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
oikos migrate # apply DB migrations
|
|
oikos seed # ingest ontology/inventory/policy seeds
|
|
oikos export # export DB state to YAML
|
|
oikos api # serve REST + MCP
|
|
oikos scheduler # run observe loop
|
|
oikos all # all roles in one process
|
|
oikos secret list # enumerate SOPS secrets
|
|
oikos secret migrate # SOPS → Infisical
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Web UI
|
|
|
|
`web/` is a standalone Svelte 5 SPA — not embedded in the `oikos` binary, not
|
|
part of `docker-compose.yml`. It talks to `api`/`nomos` over HTTP with a
|
|
bearer token entered on first launch (see `web/src/pages/Config.svelte`).
|
|
Build with `make ui`, deploy with `make deploy-ui` (Caddy serves the static
|
|
output). A native desktop wrapper exists at `cmd/desktop/` — see
|
|
[plans/done/2026-07-12-wails-desktop-app.md](plans/done/2026-07-12-wails-desktop-app.md).

|
## For agents
|
|
|
|
See [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) for the full orientation. Quick reference:
|
|
|
|
- **Source of truth:** DB (runtime) then seeds (bootstrap). Old wiki is
|
|
archived at `archive/knowledge/` — use MCP `search_knowledge` instead.
|
|
- **Mutations:** classify against policy, request approval for
|
|
`destructive`/`config_mutation`
|
|
- **Secrets:** Infisical (primary) or SOPS (fallback) — never hardcode
