A virtual key's allowed_routes is matched on the exact path: granting "/v1/model/info" does not also grant "/model/info". MCP_SYNC_GATEWAY has no /v1 suffix, so this asked for the UNVERSIONED path — meaning a key scoped to the versioned route still got a 403, still fell back to names-only, and still produced a config with no context limits, with nothing in the output to say so. Two correct-looking pieces of config that did not meet. Tries the versioned path first and falls back to the unversioned one, so it works whichever way a key happens to be scoped. With the route granted this now discovers limits live instead of leaning on the base-config floor. The floor stays: it is what keeps opencode correct if the key ever loses the route again, and live values override it field by field. Verified that the two agree — discovery returns exactly the 195584 / 261120 the floor declares — and the Claude models, which the floor does not cover, picked up 998976 and 198976 for the first time.

dotfiles
Configures fresh VMs (RHEL-family or Debian-family) with a consistent
environment. Run ./bootstrap.sh (or curl-pipe it) to apply everything;
each module also runs standalone and is safe to re-run.
Quick start
On a fresh box, apply everything with one command:
curl -fsSL https://git.nic-oconnor.com/public/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/bootstrap.sh | sh
When piped like this (no local checkout), bootstrap.sh clones the repo to
~/.dotfiles and runs from there, so git must be installed first. Re-running
the command updates the checkout (git pull) and re-applies every module.
Override the destination or source with DOTFILES_DIR / DOTFILES_REPO.
Already have a clone? Just run it directly:
./bootstrap.sh
Modules
-
zsh/— installs zsh + oh-my-zsh, drops a managed~/.zshrc(robbyrussell theme, git plugin), and sets zsh as the login shell. The managed rc sources~/.zshrc.locallast for per-machine customizations (see below). -
git/— sets gituser.name/user.emailand configurescredential.helper store(plaintext~/.git-credentials, 0600) for HTTPS auth. -
docker/— installs full (rootful) Docker Engine from Docker's upstream package repo (get.docker.com on Debian-family; the docker-ce repo wired up directly on RHEL-family, since the convenience script rejects EL rebuilds like Oracle Linux by name), enables the service (systemd hosts), and adds the invoking user to thedockergroup (takes effect at next login). No-ops where a rootless Docker daemon is already running (e.g. Kasm) so it never fights that setup. Uses sudo. -
bin/— installs userland devops CLIs as self-contained, statically linked release binaries into~/.local/bin: jq, kubectl, helm, k9s, kubectx/kubens, stern, yq, OpenTofu, terragrunt, task (go-task, the Taskfile runner), the 1Password CLIopfor secrets storage, the opencode coding agent, zarf (DevSecOps for Offline and Airgapped Kubernetes), and packer (HashiCorp's infrastructure build tool). kind is installed only when full (non-rootless) Docker is available — it doesn't work against rootless Docker, so it is skipped on Kasm. No sudo, nothing outside$HOME, so tools persist across Kasm redeploys with no reinstall. Idempotent: each tool records its version under~/.local/bin/.versionsand is skipped when the pinned version is already present.zsh/zshrcputs~/.local/binonPATH.opencode is configured by
mcp-config/: it points at the covert-gpt LiteLLM gateway (https://llm.covert-gpt.com/v1) for models. MCP tools do NOT come from the gateway — it hosts no MCP servers, deliberately; they run client-side under your own credentials (seemcp-config/README.md). Runmcp-config/install.shonce to store your LiteLLM key and enable config sync — without it, opencode installs but can't reach the gateway. -
ansible/— installs Ansible into a virtualenv at~/.local/opt/ansible(it's Python, not a single binary) and symlinks its CLIs into~/.local/bin. Persists across redeploys; only rebuilt when the venv is missing or broken. Building it may installpython3/python3-venvvia the system package manager (the one place this module uses sudo). -
docker-rootless-cgroup/— on systemd-less hosts (e.g. Kasm), hand-delegates cgroup v2 controllers to the rootless Docker daemon so per-container cgroups work (rootless Docker otherwise comes up withCgroupDriver=none). Uses sudo for host cgroup writes and restarts the daemon; no-ops on systemd or non-rootless hosts. Re-run at each bootstrap (the cgroup layout resets on redeploy); its PATH shim lives in$HOME. -
mcp-config/— shared MCP gateway config sync for laptops (LiteLLM / opencode). Run bybootstrap.sh, and standalone too. The config and skills are read from the local checkout, not re-downloaded from Gitea, so this repo does not have to be public for a shell to work; see its own README.
Per-machine customizations and secrets
~/.zshrc is managed — bootstrap overwrites it, so never hand-edit it.
Per-machine settings and secrets go in ~/.zshrc.local, which the managed
rc sources last (so it can override anything) and bootstrap never touches:
cp zsh/zshrc.local.example ~/.zshrc.local && chmod 600 ~/.zshrc.local
Variables modules look for:
-
GITEA_KEY— personal access token forgit.nic-oconnor.com. Used for API/CLI work, and bybootstrap.sh/mcp-config/to read this repo when it is private and there is no checkout yet. With a checkout on disk nothing here needs it; HTTPS git auth otherwise goes throughgit/'s credential helper. -
LITELLM_KEY— covert-gpt gateway key used by opencode. Normally you don't set this by hand: runmcp-config/install.shonce and its shell hook exports it from~/.config/mcp-sync/key. Set it in~/.zshrc.localonly on a box without mcp-sync. -
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN— 1Password service-account token for non-interactiveop read/op run. -
GITEA_KEY,PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID,PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET— your own credentials for the client-side MCP servers inmcp-config/. opencode reads them from your environment ({env:VAR}) and passes them to the MCP server it spawns, so the tools act as you. Keep them in~/.zshrc.local; they are never written into any config file.These are NOT used by
ai-k8s-iac/task up: the LiteLLM gateway hosts no MCP servers and stores no MCP credentials. Seemcp-config/README.md. -
hermes/— installs Hermes Agent (Nous Research's self-improving AI agent) via npm. Hermes uses npx to spawn and downloads the Python hermes-agent from PyPI. Everything under $HOME, so it survives Kasm redeploys.It then merges
hermes/gateway.yamlinto~/.hermes/config.yaml, wiring Hermes to the covert-gpt LiteLLM gateway as a named custom provider. The merge is idempotent and touches only that provider entry, so the rest of your personal config is left alone;model.default/model.providerare seeded only on a fresh box. Unlikemcp-config/, this deploys at BOOTSTRAP time, not per-shell — re-runhermes/install.shto pick up a gateway.yaml change.Depends on
mcp-config/install.shhaving run: gateway.yaml names the key (key_env: LITELLM_KEY) but never contains it, andmcp-config/sync.shis what exports LITELLM_KEY into your shell. Without it Hermes 401s.
Secrets never go in this repo or in zsh/zshrc — that file is shared
config applied to every box.
lib/os-detect.sh provides shared package-manager detection (dnf/yum
vs apt); lib/fetch.sh provides arch detection and binary-download
helpers. Both are used by module install scripts.
