Server Phase 1 Validation Evidence

Validation date: 2026-07-12 to 2026-07-13

Target: Vast.ai full Ubuntu 22.04 VM, RTX 3090 24 GB, 23 vCPU, 52.8 GB usable RAM, 155.9 GB root filesystem

Package revision at initial install: 55a2a41 plus the uncommitted corrections listed below

Install mode: install.sh --software-only --tier=starter

Executive result

The software package installs and the tested Phase 1 Server workflows operate on the representative cloud VM after correcting defects found during validation. This is evidence for a controlled Server pilot only. It is not ISO boot evidence, physical hardware evidence, Workstation evidence, a customer pilot, WCAG manual approval, or general-release approval.

Results

Area Result Evidence
Starter installation PASS after Docker repository fix Ansible recap: 86 ok, 51 changed, 0 failed, 2 ignored
Source contract suite PASS 19 tests passed
Shell/Python/static validation PASS bash -n, py_compile, git diff --check
Tier playbook syntax PASS starter, entry, pro, max syntax checks
Portal/backend PASS HTTP 200 after install and reboot
Authenticated read endpoints PASS 51 HTTP 200 responses
Entitlement restrictions PASS model router and two fine-tuning routes correctly returned 403
Authentication and RBAC PASS admin login; viewer permitted metrics and denied admin user list
User/session lifecycle PASS create, login, revoke by deletion, expired-session rejection, self-delete protection
API key lifecycle PASS create, verify, revoke, revoked-key rejection
Guardrails PASS temporary keyword rule blocked matching input and was removed
Prompt library PASS create, update and delete
Backup/restore PASS ZIP created; listed; restored; pre-restore safety snapshot created
Ollama inference PASS Qwen 2.5 1.5B GPU inference; model persisted across reboot
Open WebUI PASS after network correction healthy container and model visible from WebUI
RAG PASS after corrections collection, TXT upload, embedding, ready status, semantic retrieval, delete/cleanup
vLLM PASS after corrections Phi-3 readiness and OpenAI-compatible chat completion
Monitoring PASS Grafana health 200, Prometheus ready 200, DCGM and node exporter running
Web console PASS after correction service active and /console/ HTTP 200
Reboot persistence PASS all six services and five containers auto-started; models and backup persisted
Concurrent inference PASS vLLM used 21.3 GB and Ollama 1.8 GB on RTX 3090; both completed inference

Post-reboot vLLM cold readiness occurred at approximately 144 seconds after boot.

Defects discovered and corrected in source

  1. Ubuntu ttyd does not support --writable, and the distribution ttyd service can occupy port 7681.
  2. Open WebUI could not reach an Ollama process that had not reloaded the appliance service environment.
  3. Backend targeted ChromaDB port 8000 while the service intentionally runs on 8100.
  4. Unpinned latest ChromaDB removed the v1 API used by the backend.
  5. Compatible ChromaDB dependencies conflicted with the shared AI environment; ChromaDB is now isolated.
  6. Short RAG documents caused an infinite chunking loop.
  7. Chroma query/upsert/delete data routes require collection UUIDs rather than collection names.
  8. Starter Phi-3 was incorrectly configured as AWQ.
  9. Blank optional vLLM arguments caused systemd command continuation into ExecStop.
  10. vllm:latest required an incompatible CUDA/driver combination; the image is now pinned to v0.10.2.
  11. vLLM was enabled but not explicitly started during installation.

Expected warnings / environment gaps

  • No final signed customer license was installed; field-staging mode was used.
  • TLS was not configured; access used SSH tunnels.
  • The VM began without a backup or models; both were created during testing.
  • Direct public port 80 was blocked by the provider; this is not an appliance Nginx failure.
  • Clean ISO boot, disk partitioning, BIOS/UEFI, USB media, physical NICs and offline ISO installation cannot be validated on this rented VM.
  • Workstation validation (T036), manual WCAG 2.2 AA evidence, interruption/restricted-network trials, controlled customer pilot and release approvals remain pending.

Release decision

Not ready for customer shipment yet. The corrected package is suitable for another clean Server installation validation and controlled pilot preparation. A new ISO must be built from the corrected revision and both Server and Workstation ISO paths must be tested before release consideration.
