# Nexus One AI Platform Package Nexus One AI is a private, on-prem AI platform package for customer-controlled deployment. This repository contains the platform code, deployment assets, and build paths used to install, provision, and operate the appliance. This repository is the source of truth for the Nexus One AI platform package, including installer flows, deployment roles, portal assets, backend services, licensing enforcement, and the bootable ISO build path. The ISO is only one delivery surface. It stays small by pulling this package from cgit during setup, then the installer deploys the selected tier and feature set on the target server. ## Product Structure Nexus One AI, Powered by Cezen, has two product categories. This is a packaging/labeling structure, not a rewrite — the existing installer, license engine, and Server tiers below are unchanged. ```text Nexus One AI Powered by Cezen ├── Nexus One AI Workstation (personal AI appliance, 1-3 users, 5 max) │ └── Nexus One AI Server (shared multi-user platform) ├── Server S (was: Starter) ├── Server M (was: Entry / Basic) ├── Server L (was: Pro) └── Server Max (was: Max) ``` - **Nexus One AI Workstation** is a personal AI appliance for AI developers, data scientists, researchers, universities, innovation labs, CXOs, and individual knowledge workers — typically NVIDIA DGX Spark, RTX 5090 Workstation, or RTX PRO 6000 Workstation hardware. It is not a shared server: no HA, no server-redundancy expectations. Internally it is an additive `workstation` category in the license engine (`category: "workstation"`), kept structurally separate from the Server tier ladder. - **Nexus One AI Server** is the existing four-tier shared platform (Server S/M/L/Max — internal license slugs `starter/basic/pro/max` are unchanged; Server S/M/L/Max are the new commercial labels for the same four tiers). See [Section 6](#6-tier-and-packaging-guide) and [Section 8](#8-features-by-tier). ## Product Collateral Technical buyer-facing collateral lives in `docs/` for reuse in customer evaluation, partner enablement, and internal technical review. - `docs/README.md` - `docs/Nexus_One_AI_Datasheet.docx` - `docs/Nexus_One_AI_Datasheet.pdf` - `docs/architecture-overview.svg` - `docs/technical-service-flow.svg` ## Why Nexus One AI - Private AI platform designed for customer-controlled infrastructure. - Packaged stack for portal access, local inference, document retrieval, and observability. - Deployment paths for both bootable ISO installs and scripted Ubuntu server installs. - Tiered packaging that scales from contained pilots to larger multi-team deployments. - Stronger technical buyer story than a simple demo stack because admin, audit, backup, and readiness surfaces are included. ## Architecture Snapshot ![Nexus One AI architecture overview](docs/architecture-overview.svg) ## Technical Service Flow ![Nexus One AI technical service flow](docs/technical-service-flow.svg) ## Visual Overview ### Package Positioning ![Nexus One AI package overview](docs/nexus-one-ai-package-overview.jpg) ### Opportunity View ![Nexus One AI opportunity view](docs/nexus-one-ai-opportunity.jpg) ### Tier Comparison ![Nexus One AI tier comparison](docs/nexus-one-ai-tier-comparison.jpg) ## 1. Choose The Deployment Path | Scenario | Use This Path | |---|---| | New appliance/server with ISO | Boot from the Nexus One AI ISO and complete first-boot setup. | | PSU/offline field install by pendrive | Boot the ISO from USB, enter license/tier details during first boot, upload large models later if needed. | | Existing Ubuntu server | Clone this repo and run the feasibility check before installing. | | Lab test without GPU | Use Multipass/VM and expect GPU services to be limited. | ## 2. Bootable ISO Deployment The bootable ISO filename is: ```text cezen-ai-ubuntu2204.iso ``` The canonical repo location for that artifact is: ```text cgit/autoinstall/cezen-ai-ubuntu2204.iso ``` If you build on a Linux server from inside the repo, the full output path will be: ```text /autoinstall/cezen-ai-ubuntu2204.iso ``` Example from the current Ubuntu build host: ```text /home/cezen/aipackage/cgit/autoinstall/cezen-ai-ubuntu2204.iso ``` 1. Flash the Nexus One AI ISO to a USB drive or attach it to the VM/server. 2. Boot the server from the ISO. 3. On the Ubuntu installer network screen, choose DHCP or the final static IP. 4. Let Ubuntu finish installation and reboot. 5. On first boot, open the setup URL shown on the server console: ```text http:// ``` 6. Complete the setup wizard: - Network: DHCP or static IP. - License & customer details: customer name, project/customer ID, contact email, license key, support date. - Tier: Server S, Server M, Server L, or Server Max (internal slugs unchanged: `starter`/`basic`/`pro`/`max`). - Tools: keep defaults unless a component should be skipped. 7. Click **Start Installation**. 8. Wait for Phase 1 NVIDIA driver setup. The server may reboot once. 9. After reboot, Phase 2 continues automatically through `cezen-phase2.service`. 10. Monitor progress: ```bash ssh cezen@ sudo journalctl -fu cezen-phase2.service sudo tail -f /var/log/cezen-install.log ``` 11. Open the portal after install: ```text http:/// ``` ## 3. Field Deployment From USB Use this when a team physically visits the site and installs from a USB drive. 1. Carry the latest ISO on a bootable USB drive. 2. Boot the PSU/customer server from the USB. 3. Configure the final network on the Ubuntu installer screen. 4. After first boot, use either: - Browser setup at `http://`, or - Physical console terminal wizard if no browser is available. 5. Enter customer/license details during setup. If the final license key is not available, leave it blank; the system records the install as field staging/evaluation. 6. Select the commercial tier sold to the customer. 7. Complete install. 8. Upload or pull large models later after bandwidth/storage is confirmed. License details are stored on the installed server at: ```text /opt/cezen/license.json ``` Installer selections are stored at: ```text /opt/cezen/install.conf ``` Whenever a new ISO is rebuilt, check this file path first: ```text autoinstall/cezen-ai-ubuntu2204.iso ``` ## 4. Hardware Feasibility And Pre-Sales Check Run this before quoting, committing a tier, or installing on customer-owned hardware. ```bash git clone https://cgit.cezentech.com/jinojose/aipackage.git cd aipackage sudo bash install.sh --feasibility-only ``` The report checks CPU, RAM, disk, NVIDIA GPU/VRAM, and likely supported features. It writes JSON to: ```text /opt/cezen/feasibility.json ``` If `/opt/cezen` is not writable, it writes: ```text ./feasibility.json ``` Recommended interpretation: | Result | Meaning | |---|---| | `core` | Portal/backend only; no local model serving recommended. | | `cpu-ai` | CPU-only RAG/chat possible, but constrained. | | `gpu-starter` | Starter GPU deployment. | | `gpu-standard` | Entry tier style deployment. | | `gpu-pro` | Pro tier candidate. | | `gpu-max` | Max tier candidate. | ## 5. Existing Server Installation After feasibility check, install on an existing Ubuntu server: ```bash sudo bash install.sh --software-only --profile=auto ``` For small systems or slow customer networks, skip default model downloads: ```bash sudo bash install.sh --software-only --profile=cpu-ai --skip-model-pull ``` To force a commercial tier: ```bash sudo bash install.sh --software-only --tier=starter sudo bash install.sh --software-only --tier=basic sudo bash install.sh --software-only --tier=pro sudo bash install.sh --software-only --tier=max ``` The installer warns if selected tier and hardware recommendation do not match. The selected tier still wins, because the sale/license decision is commercial. ## 6. Tier And Packaging Guide **Nexus One AI Server** (shared, multi-user; internal license slug in parentheses): | Server Tier | Target Hardware | Typical Use | Default Models | |---|---|---|---| | Server S (`starter`) | 1 GPU around 24-32 GB VRAM, or constrained CPU system | Small team, RAG/admin portal, light chat | `phi3:mini`, `nomic-embed-text` | | Server M (`basic`) | 1 RTX Pro 6000 class GPU, around 48-96 GB VRAM | Department deployment | `llama3.1:8b`, `mistral:7b`, `codellama:13b`, `nomic-embed-text` | | Server L (`pro`) | 2+ high VRAM GPUs | Multi-team deployment, heavier coding/RAG/fine-tuning workflows | Server M models plus `llama3.1:70b`, `mixtral:8x7b`, `deepseek-coder-v2:16b` | | Server Max (`max`) | 4-8 enterprise GPUs such as H100/H200/A100 class | Enterprise deployment, large models, high concurrency | Server L models plus `llama3.1:405b`, `mixtral:8x22b` | **Nexus One AI Workstation** (personal appliance; internal category `workstation`, kept outside the Server ladder — see [Product Structure](#product-structure)): | Category | Target Hardware | Typical Use | Users | |---|---|---|---| | Workstation (`workstation`) | NVIDIA DGX Spark, RTX 5090 Workstation, or RTX PRO 6000 Workstation | Local chat, personal RAG, prompt studio, document intelligence | 1-3 active, 5 max | The compact single-GPU ISO build path (`build-iso-starter.sh` / `user-data-starter`) is the closest existing hardware profile to Workstation today. It still writes the `starter` (Server S) tier marker — repointing it to build a dedicated Workstation ISO is tracked as follow-up work, not done in this pass (see [Migration Notes](../MIGRATION_NOTES.md)). Large models can be pulled later. The ISO does not need to contain them. ```bash bash models/pull-models.sh --tier=starter bash models/pull-models.sh --tier=basic bash models/pull-models.sh --tier=pro bash models/pull-models.sh --tier=max ``` ## 7. Platform Features Nexus One AI includes these application features through the portal and backend: | Feature | What It Does | |---|---| | Secure admin portal | Browser UI for setup, chat, tools, users, models, reports, and system status. | | Authentication and sessions | JWT login, role-aware admin access, brute-force lockout, active session tracking. Portal nav label unchanged (no current single nav item maps to "Enterprise Authentication" — see [Section 15](#15-platform-roadmap)). | | User and team management | Admin-managed users, teams, roles, and account status. | | AI Workspace *(was: Private Chat)* | On-prem chat over local or routed models. | | RAG knowledge base | Upload documents, index them into ChromaDB, and query private knowledge. | | Prompt library | Government/enterprise prompt templates grouped by use case. Kept as "Prompt Library" — the portal already has a distinct "Prompt Studio" authoring tool, so this label was not renamed to avoid duplicate nav entries. | | Model Catalog *(was: Model Management)* | View local models, pull Ollama models, upload GGUF models, and track model status. | | Model router | Route requests by rule to local, GPU, or external model endpoints on supported tiers. | | Document intelligence | Parse, summarize, and extract structured information from documents. | | Meeting assistant | Transcript/audio processing, summaries, decisions, action items, and follow-ups. | | Agent Studio *(was: Agent Builder)* | Create and run configured agents, including scheduled agent jobs. | | Workflow Designer *(was: Workflow Automation)* | Run portal workflows with HTTP, email, RAG, save-to-knowledge-base, and filter steps. | | MCP & Enterprise Connectors *(was: Connectors)* | Store and sync supported data connectors (DB/folder sync today; MCP-based connectors are on the roadmap — see [Section 15](#15-platform-roadmap)). | | Guardrails | Keyword, regex, and PII checks for safer prompts and responses. | | Governance & Audit *(was: Analytics and Audit)* | Query logs, usage summaries, audit reports, and admin visibility. | | Evaluation suite | Manage datasets, eval jobs, and model/prompt quality checks. | | Fine-tuning jobs | QLoRA and advanced training paths for higher tiers. | | API key manager | Create, list, and revoke API keys for integrations. | | Backups and restore | Local backup, list, restore, and pre-restore safety snapshot APIs. | | System readiness | Feasibility, license, and readiness reports for handover and support. | ## 8. Features By Tier The backend exposes this same matrix from `GET /api/license` (now also carrying `commercial_label` and `category` fields per tier — additive, existing fields unchanged). | Feature | Server S (`starter`) | Server M (`basic`) | Server L (`pro`) | Server Max (`max`) | Workstation (`workstation`) | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Max users | 10 | 25 | 100 | Custom | 5 (1-3 active) | | Portal | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Chat / AI Workspace | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes (local) | | RAG knowledge base | Yes | Yes | Advanced | Advanced | Personal | | Meeting assistant | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Workflows | Basic | Basic | Advanced | Advanced | No | | MCP & Enterprise Connectors | No | Limited | Yes | Yes | No | | Model router | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | | Governance & Audit reports | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Backup and restore | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes (local) | | Guardrails | Basic | Basic | Advanced | Advanced | Basic | | GPU inference | No | Optional | Yes | Yes | Yes (local) | | Fine-tuning | No | No | QLoRA | Advanced | No | | DeepSpeed / distributed training | No | No | No | Custom | No | | Document intelligence / Model Catalog / Prompt Studio / API access | Per feature above | Per feature above | Per feature above | Per feature above | Yes | Workstation is an additive, standalone category — it is not part of the Server S/M/L/Max ladder and cannot be reached by a Server license upgrade. See [Product Structure](#product-structure). ## 9. What Gets Installed All tiers install the Nexus One AI portal, backend API, nginx, health/readiness reporting, license/tier handling, and selected AI tools. | Component | Port | Notes | |---|---:|---| | Nexus One AI portal | 80 | Main UI served by nginx. | | cezen-api backend | 8080 | FastAPI backend, systemd service `cezen-api`. | | Ollama | 11434 | Local model inference. | | Open WebUI | 3001 | Chat UI. | | ChromaDB | 8100 | Vector database for RAG. | | vLLM | 8000 | OpenAI-compatible serving path, mainly Pro/Max. | | JupyterLab | 8888 | Notebook environment. | | MLflow | 5000 | Experiment tracking. | | MinIO | 9001 | S3-compatible object/model storage. | | Grafana | 3000 | Monitoring dashboard. | ## 10. Admin And Readiness APIs | API | Purpose | |---|---| | `GET /api/license` | Current tier, feature matrix, and safe license metadata. | | `GET /api/system/feasibility` | Hardware feasibility report or live fallback. | | `GET /api/system/readiness-report` | License + feasibility + install readiness payload. | | `GET /api/audit/report?days=7` | Audit summary for handover/admin review. | | `GET /api/system/backups` | List local backups. | | `POST /api/system/backups` | Create local backup. | | `POST /api/system/backups/{name}/restore` | Restore backup with pre-restore safety snapshot. | Backup helper: ```bash sudo bash scripts/cezen-backup.sh backup sudo bash scripts/cezen-backup.sh list sudo bash scripts/cezen-backup.sh restore /opt/cezen/backups/cezen-backup-YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS.zip ``` ## 11. Post-Install Checks Run these after install: ```bash systemctl status cezen-api --no-pager systemctl status cezen-phase2.service --no-pager curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/settings/branding curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/system/feasibility ``` Check service ports: ```bash ss -lntp ``` Check Ollama models: ```bash curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/tags ``` ## 12. Test Without A GPU On a MacBook: ```bash multipass launch 22.04 --name cezen-test --cpus 4 --mem 8G --disk 40G multipass shell cezen-test ``` Inside the VM: ```bash git clone https://cgit.cezentech.com/jinojose/aipackage.git cd aipackage sudo bash install.sh --feasibility-only sudo bash install.sh --software-only --profile=auto --skip-model-pull ``` No GPU will be detected. That is expected. ## 13. Change Default Passwords Before Customer Handover Before shipping to a customer, rotate these: - Initial OS/admin account password. - JupyterLab token: `/opt/cezen/.jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py` - MinIO credentials: `/etc/default/minio` - Grafana admin password. - Any temporary portal/backend admin credentials. - Any staging license key if the final license is issued later. ## 15. Platform Roadmap Seven enterprise capabilities planned for Nexus One AI. None of these are implemented yet — this section documents scope and current-state dependencies so future work builds on the right foundation. Grounded in what the current codebase does and does not already provide (confirmed by direct inspection of `cezen-backend/main.py`, `cezen-portal/`, and this repo). | # | Capability | Scope | Current-state dependency | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Enterprise Authentication | LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, OAuth, OIDC | Greenfield. Today's auth is username/password + JWT (`cezen-backend/main.py`), no SSO code anywhere in the stack. | | 2 | MCP & Enterprise Connectors | SharePoint, OneDrive, SAP, Oracle, SQL, REST, GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow via MCP | Builds on today's DB/folder-sync connectors (`connectors.html`, `/api/connectors*`), which are not MCP-based. MCP is the planned future transport. | | 3 | AI Monitoring | GPU/CPU/RAM/VRAM, latency, tokens/sec, queue depth, model usage, active sessions, health | Builds on existing `system-status.json` and `/api/metrics*` (CPU/GPU/RAM/uptime today). | | 4 | Governance & Audit | Prompt history, model usage, compliance, PII detection, policy violations, usage reports | Builds on existing `audit.html` / `/api/audit*` (66 references in the backend today). | | 5 | Model Catalog | Browse, install, update, rollback, versioning, recommended models | Builds on existing `models.html` / `models-admin.html` (browse/pull/upload today; no rollback/versioning yet). | | 6 | Deployment Management | Node management, cluster health, storage, model synchronization, upgrade status, licensing overview | Greenfield for multi-node. Today's install/license flow (`install.sh`, `cezen_license.py`) is single-node. | | 7 | Secrets Management | Secure storage for API keys, passwords, certificates, tokens, external credentials | Builds on existing API key manager (`apikeys.html` / `/api/apikeys*`); no general credential vault exists yet. | ## 16.
