Key Configuration

Component	Setting	Notes
Zoraxy	WebSocket passthrough: enabled	Required for real-time updates
Zoraxy	Virtual directory: /socket.io → http://172.16.8.20:9000/socket.io	Routes WebSocket directly to socket.io server
Nginx	/assets/ served directly from filesystem	Bypasses gunicorn — essential for correct CSS/JS MIME types behind proxies
Nginx	proxy_set_header Host erp.lohmar.co.uk	Set for socket.io location to pass origin checks
Socket.io	Origin check disabled in authenticate.js	Socket.io's built-in CORS handles security; middleware check breaks behind proxies

Services

Service	Port	Description
frappe-bench-web.service	8001	Gunicorn (Frappe web app) — behind nginx
frappe-bench-worker.service	—	Background async worker
frappe-bench-schedule.service	—	Scheduled job runner
frappe-bench-socketio.service	9000	Realtime WebSocket (Node.js)
frappe-bench-watch.service	—	File watcher for dev/assets

Ports

Port	Purpose
443	Zoraxy HTTPS → nginx :8000
8080	Nginx direct (no SSL, for testing)
8000	Nginx (Zoraxy target)
8001	Gunicorn (behind nginx)
9000	Socket.io Node.js server

Installation

cd $PATH_TO_YOUR_BENCH
bench get-app $URL_OF_THIS_REPO --branch version-16
bench install-app service_factory

Post-Install

1. Create Zoraxy virtual directory: /socket.io → http://[server-ip]:9000/socket.io with WebSocket passthrough enabled
2. Configure nginx to serve /assets/ directly (see nginx config in deploy/)
3. If behind a reverse proxy, disable the socket.io origin check in frappe/realtime/middlewares/authenticate.js

DocTypes

Setup (Master)

• Engagement Task Type — Task categories (Demo, POC, Deployment, RFP/RFI, Other)
• Team Template — Pre-defined teams by department
  • Child: Team Template Member — Employee assignment with role

Transaction

• Engagement Card — Universal work card (TEC)
  • Child: Engagement Card Assignment — Multi-person team allocation
  • Child: Engagement Card Activity — Activity log with milestones
  • Child: Engagement Card Time Log — Per-employee hours tracking
  • Child: Engagement Card Subtask — Delegatable breakdown items

Status Flow

Discovery → Delivery → Complete → Archived

Development

Prerequisites

• Python ≥3.14
• Node.js/Bun
• pre-commit

Setup

cd apps/service_factory
pre-commit install

Pre-commit runs ruff, eslint, prettier, and pyupgrade on commit.

Agent Workflow

This project uses OpenAgentsControl. The agent operates in two modes:

• 🗣️ Discuss — Architecture, design, questions (no execution)
• 🔧 Build — Execute agreed plans (write, deploy, commit)

Versioning

Format: V{major}.{minor}.{patch} (e.g., V0.1.0009)

• Patch auto-increments on every git push
• Agent commits and pushes after every completed step
