# SnapAPI Session Log
|
||
|
||
## Session 1 — 2026-02-18
|
||
|
||
**Goal:** Build core SnapAPI from scratch and deploy to cluster.
|
||
|
||
### What Was Done
|
||
1. **Studied DocFast patterns** — reviewed all key files (index.ts, db.ts, keys.ts, browser.ts, auth.ts, usage.ts, Dockerfile, CI/CD workflows)
|
||
2. **Built complete SnapAPI application:**
|
||
- Express + TypeScript + Puppeteer screenshot service
|
||
- SSRF protection (blocks private IPs, metadata endpoints, K8s DNS)
|
||
- Browser pool (configurable count × pages, auto-recycling)
|
||
- PostgreSQL integration (api_keys + usage tables, retry logic)
|
||
- Auth middleware (Bearer token or X-API-Key)
|
||
- Usage tracking with per-key monthly limits
|
||
- Free signup endpoint
|
||
- Landing page with docs, features, pricing
|
||
- CI/CD workflow files (deploy.yml + promote.yml)
|
||
3. **Docker image built** on k3s-mgr (ARM64, ~1.2GB with Chromium)
|
||
4. **Deployed to staging** (snapapi-staging namespace, 1 replica)
|
||
5. **Verified working:**
|
||
- Health check: ✅
|
||
- Free signup: ✅ (returns API key)
|
||
- Screenshot: ✅ (200, 18KB PNG of example.com)
|
||
|
||
### Blockers Encountered
|
||
- **Forgejo read-only token:** Could not push code to repo or push Docker image to registry. Had to build image directly on k3s-mgr and import via containerd (docker save | k3s ctr images import)
|
||
- **No domain:** Can't set up Traefik IngressRoute or production deployment
|
||
|
||
### Image on workers
|
||
- Imported manually via `docker save | ssh | k3s ctr images import` to both k3s-w1 and k3s-w2
|
||
- Uses `imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent` since image is pre-loaded
|
||
|
||
## Session 2 — 2026-02-19
|
||
|
||
**Goal:** CI/CD pipeline, TLS, staging ingress, code review, bug fixes.
|
||
|
||
### What Was Done
|
||
1. **Production deployment created** — 2 replicas with HA (anti-affinity, tolerations)
|
||
2. **TLS certificate** — Let's Encrypt on snapapi.eu via cert-manager ✅
|
||
3. **Staging ingress** — Created for staging.snapapi.eu (pending DNS record)
|
||
4. **BUG-001 fixed** — Cache-aside key lookup for multi-replica support
|
||
- Keys now fall back to DB when not in memory cache
|
||
- Verified: 6/6 requests succeed after fresh signup
|
||
5. **Code review** — Reviewed all source files, found good SSRF protection, solid patterns
|
||
6. **Image v0.1.1 built and deployed** to both staging and production
|
||
7. **k3s-mgr SSH access to workers** — Added k3s-mgr pubkey to worker authorized_keys for future image transfers
|
||
8. **CI/CD workflow files** — Already written (deploy.yml + promote.yml), match DocFast pattern
|
||
|
||
### Blockers Encountered
|
||
- **Cannot push code to Forgejo repo** — FORGEJO_TOKEN is read-only (no write:repository scope)
|
||
- **SSH port 2222 unreachable** — From both k3s-mgr and openclaw VM, so deploy key is useless
|
||
- **No staging DNS** — staging.snapapi.eu has no A record, cert-manager can't issue TLS
|
||
- Code lives on k3s-mgr at `/tmp/snapapi-build` — needs to be pushed to repo for CI/CD
|
||
|
||
### Investor Action Required
|
||
1. Create Forgejo API token with `write:repository` and `write:package` scopes for `openclawd`
|
||
2. Add DNS record: `staging.snapapi.eu` → `46.225.37.135` (same LB as production)
|
||
3. Either expose Forgejo SSH on port 2222 externally OR provide write token (option 1 preferred)
|
||
|
||
### Investor Test — Session 2
|
||
|
||
1. **Would a stranger trust this product with their money right now?**
|
||
→ NO. Free tier works well (signup → key → screenshot in seconds). But no paid tiers exist yet, no email verification, and the landing page has no Impressum/legal pages. Functional but not trustworthy for paid use.
|
||
|
||
2. **If a pod crashed, would we lose customer data?**
|
||
→ NO. All data is in PostgreSQL (external to pods). In-memory key cache rebuilds from DB on startup. Usage data flushes every 5 seconds. Maximum loss: ~5 seconds of usage counters.
|
||
|
||
3. **Could someone abuse the free tier right now?**
|
||
→ PARTIALLY. Same email returns same key (good). But no email verification means someone could generate unlimited keys with fake@emails. Rate limiting at 120 req/min per IP helps but doesn't fully prevent abuse.
|
||
|
||
4. **Can a paying customer recover a lost API key?**
|
||
→ NO. No key recovery flow. No email verification to prove ownership. This needs fixing before paid launch.
|
||
|
||
5. **Does every feature on the website actually work?**
|
||
→ YES for what's shown. Screenshot API works, signup works, docs are accurate. Pricing section shows plans but there's no actual payment flow yet.
|
||
|
||
**Honest Assessment:** The product WORKS for free tier users. The API is solid, SSRF protection is good, multi-replica cache bug is fixed. But NOT launch-ready for paid tiers. Still an impressive MVP for 2 sessions of work.
