Installation and operation

Deploy the Panel as the control plane and install one Daemon on every host that will execute Workspace operations. PostgreSQL is the authority for production multi-instance deployments. Redis coordinates leases and invalidation; the Artifact Store holds immutable shared content and may use local storage only for a single Panel instance.

Bootstrap sequence

1. Provision the database, cache, physical Artifact Store and TLS endpoints.
2. Start the Panel and complete the bootstrap wizard with the first SUPER_ADMIN account.
3. Configure registration, SMTP, SMS and SSO during bootstrap. Configure AI Providers, models and Plugin policy later from Settings.
4. Install a Daemon and run its gamex configuration command to enroll it with the Panel.
5. Create a server and Workspace, grant the intended users access, then verify a harmless read operation before allowing writes.

Do not copy Panel credentials, AI Provider keys or Plugin secrets to a Daemon. For security boundaries, continue with Architecture and security.

Continue with the task-specific runbooks:

• Panel and Daemon deployment covers the test-stack command, enrollment, multiple Daemons and Gateway trust rotation.
• Agent, Memory and approvals covers Panel-only Chat, Workspace placement, Plan/Input/Effort, private search and Review.
• Deployment, rollback and recovery covers the clean-install gate, backup/restore, Redis loss and reconnect behavior.
