Segment 6
In this sub-session, the assistant deployed the vast-manager service to the controller host, building the Go binary, setting up systemd, and configuring the vast CLI. After discovering a port conflict, the service was moved to port 1235. A routing bug in the DELETE /bad-host endpoint was fixed. A comprehensive web UI was then designed and implemented, featuring ring buffers for logs, a Vast instance cache for live API data, new endpoints for dashboard/logs/kill, and an updated entrypoint to ship logs back to the manager. The dark-themed dashboard provides fleet-wide metrics, instance tables with expandable details, log viewers, and auto-refresh. After deployment, a new instance (32709851) failed to appear due to an older image lacking the updated entrypoint, and further investigation revealed that the VAST_CONTAINERLABEL environment variable was missing from the container, indicating a platform-level issue. The instance was manually registered as a temporary workaround.
