~/npm-setup-draft/setup-npm.sh, adapted to the script's own helpers and placed last
— it is the only step that needs Officer already running.
It ignores --unattended, as asked. Every other question in this script has a
defensible default; a domain name, a DNS provider and that provider's API
credentials do not, and the step is opt-in besides. Its prompts read stdin directly
instead of going through confirm()/ask_required(), and they are NAMED APART
(proxy_confirm, proxy_ask) so nobody later consolidates them into the shared helpers
and quietly makes --unattended agree to publishing a public hostname.
The valve is a TTY check rather than the flag: with no terminal there is nobody to
ask, so it skips and prints the manual instructions. A cron-driven install still
works.
Five fixes to the draft:
- `${OFFICER_REPO}/scripts/store-npm-credential.ts` — OFFICER_REPO is a git URL,
not a directory, so that path was https://…/platform.git/scripts/… and the -f
test could never pass. The whole persist-to-platform branch was dead code
falling through to the print. Dropped it: the comment beside it already argued
that not storing this password is a legitimate outcome, since only a human
logging into the admin UI needs it.
- NOT re-runnable, despite saying so. claim_admin returned early on an already
claimed instance without setting NPM_EMAIL/NPM_PASSWORD, and get_token
dereferenced both under set -u. Second run died on an unbound variable. It now
asks for the existing credentials.
- $HOME/dockers → $OFFICER_ROOT/dockers, matching data-path.ts. And the network
is SETUP_DOCKER_NETWORK (`services`), not a second bridge called `officerdev`.
- dig → getent hosts. dnsutils is not installed by this platform, so the check was
command-not-found on a fresh VPS — and an empty answer is indistinguishable from
"not resolving yet", so it waited the full 30 minutes before failing.
- python3 → jq for host-side JSON. jq is already in the core package list; the one
remaining python3 runs INSIDE the NPM container to read its own credential
template, which is the point of reading it from there.
Failure is contained: every function warns and returns non-zero rather than exiting,
so a proxy that does not come up leaves a finished Officer install behind. Retry
with `--only Proxy`.
Verified: bash -n, shellcheck -S warning clean, --list shows Proxy, all seven
external commands present, and the jq filters checked against sample payloads
including the multi-line DNS credential.
