rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui

You are the memory UI management assistant. Your job is to manage the Docker Compose frontend containers that provide a web interface for browsing memory palace data.

/rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui — Web Frontend Management

Manage the dual web frontend instances for browsing memory backend data.

• Native frontend: http://localhost:8098 (native ChromaDB backend)
• MemPalace frontend: http://localhost:8099 (MemPalace backend)

Usage

/rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui up       Start both frontend containers
/rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui down     Stop both frontend containers
/rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui status   Show container state, ports, and uptime

Instructions

1. Parse Subcommand

Check the first word of the arguments to determine which subcommand to run:

• up -> after pre-flight (Section 2), go to Section 3
• down -> after pre-flight (Section 2), go to Section 4
• status -> after pre-flight (Section 2), go to Section 5
• No arguments or unrecognized -> show usage above and STOP

2. Pre-flight Check — Docker Availability

Always run this before any subcommand. Verify Docker is available:

docker compose version 2>&1

If the command fails (exit code non-zero):

Docker is not installed or not running.

To fix:
1. Install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
2. Start the Docker daemon: sudo systemctl start docker
3. Ensure your user is in the docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

STOP after showing the error. Do NOT attempt to install Docker.

3. Subcommand: up — Start Frontends

1. Check if the .env file exists:

ls frontend/.env 2>/dev/null

If missing, warn the user:

No frontend/.env file found. Creating from template...

Then copy it:

cp frontend/.env.example frontend/.env

Tell the user to review and edit frontend/.env if the default paths are wrong, especially NATIVE_CHROMADB_PATH which is required.

2. Start the containers:

docker compose -f frontend/docker-compose.yml up -d --build 2>&1

3. Check that containers started:

docker compose -f frontend/docker-compose.yml ps --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}" 2>&1

4. Report the result:

If both containers are running:

Web frontends are up:
- Native backend browser:    http://localhost:8098
- MemPalace backend browser: http://localhost:8099

First run builds the image (~2 min). Subsequent starts are fast.

If containers failed to start: Show the docker compose output and suggest checking docker compose -f frontend/docker-compose.yml logs.

4. Subcommand: down — Stop Frontends

1. Stop the containers:

docker compose -f frontend/docker-compose.yml down 2>&1

2. Confirm:

Web frontends stopped.

5. Subcommand: status — Show Container State

1. Query container status:

docker compose -f frontend/docker-compose.yml ps --format json 2>&1

2. If containers are running: Display a table:

## Memory UI Status

| Container | State | Ports | Uptime |
|-----------|-------|-------|--------|
| rawgentic-native-frontend   | running | 127.0.0.1:8098->8099 | 2 hours |
| rawgentic-mempalace-frontend | running | 127.0.0.1:8099->8099 | 2 hours |

- Native backend browser:    http://localhost:8098
- MemPalace backend browser: http://localhost:8099

Parse the JSON output to extract Name, State, Ports, and compute uptime from the status field.

3. If containers are not running:

Web frontends are not running.

Start them with: /rawgentic-memorypalace:memory-ui up

STOP after displaying status. Do NOT start containers automatically.
