🆘 Infrastructure Rescue & Sync Guide

Created: April 21, 2026

1. Current State

  • The Engine: The Chromebox (The Box) is fully provisioned with Nix, Docker, and Antigravity. (The waycup-vm remains as a GCP backup).
  • The Keys: Use the “KDock SSH” key from 1Password.
  • The IP: 34.123.155.205 (User: kevin_waycupcreative_com)

2. Setting up a new Local Machine (Chromebox/Laptop)

If things feel broken on a local machine, run these commands to sync with the new architecture:

Sync Dotfiles (Aliases & SSH Config)

cd ~/dotfiles
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/main
source ~/.bashrc

Sync the Vault (Knowledge)

cd ~/projects/01_internal/core/vault
git pull origin main

3. Termius Setup

Do NOT rely on terminal aliases for the primary connection.

  1. Open Termius.
  2. Add New Host:
    • Label: WayCup Admin VM
    • Address: 34.123.155.205
    • Username: kevin_waycupcreative_com
    • Key: Select/Import your KDock SSH key.
  3. Connect.

4. On the VM (The Engine)

Once connected via Termius, you have these tools:

  • gemini: Antigravity AI
  • docker: Containerization
  • gcloud: Google Cloud SDK
  • waycup: Sync and reload command
