Metacircular Platform Status

Last updated: 2026-04-02

Platform Overview

Two nodes operational (rift + svc), with orion provisioned but offline for maintenance. Core infrastructure services run as containers on rift, fronted by MC-Proxy. Svc operates as an MCP edge node managing mc-proxy routing only (no containers); MCIAS runs on svc separately as a systemd service. Bootstrap phases 04 complete (MCIAS, Metacrypt, MC-Proxy, MCR all operational). MCP is deployed and managing all platform containers on rift, with multi-node capability (svc as edge node). MCNS is deployed on rift, serving authoritative DNS. Platform evolution Phases AD complete (automated port assignment, route registration, TLS cert provisioning, and DNS registration). Phase E (multi-node expansion) is in planning, with v2 architecture in development.

  • Phase: Production. Deployed on rift, serving container images.
  • Deployment: Running on rift as two containers (mcr API + mcr-web), fronted by MC-Proxy on ports 443 (web, L7), 8443 (API, L4), and 9443 (gRPC, L4). Metacrypt is already pulling images from MCR.
  • Recent work: Manifest push bug fix (LastInsertId unreliable after upsert), structured slog error logging in OCI handlers, first production deploy, Dockerfile fixes, server wiring, OCI route mounting.
  • Artifacts: systemd units (service + web + backup timer), Dockerfiles (API + web), Docker Compose (rift), install script, rift config.

MCAT — Login Policy Tester

  • Phase: Production. Deployed on rift as a container managed by MCP.
  • Deployment: Running on rift. Lightweight tool for testing MCIAS login policy rules.
  • Recent work: Migrated to mcdsl for auth, config, CSRF, and web.
  • Artifacts: systemd unit, install script, example config.

MCDSL — Standard Library
