# box-cli — Ford / L'Oréal File Processing Server

> SSH alias: `box-cli` → `vadym.samoilenko@10.220.176.3:22`
> Key: `~/.ssh/id_rsa_vadym`

## Overview

Dedicated server for hotfolder-based file processing workflows. Handles Ford QC Box integration and L'Oréal deliverables syncing. Older CentOS 7 server with NFS-mounted production filestore.

- **Hostname**: box-cli-01
- **Platform**: GCP
- **OS**: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) — ⚠ EOL since June 2024
- **IP**: 10.220.176.3
- **Web server**: None (no Apache/Nginx)
- **Disk**:
  - `/dev/sda2`: 128 GB / 79 GB used (62%)
  - `/data` (NFS): 1 TB / 502 GB used (49%) — `172.22.113.5:/prod-filestore`

## Running Services (Key)

| Service | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| ford-asset-pack-report.service | Ford Asset Pack SFTP upload reporting |
| ford-asset-pack-sftp.service | Ford Asset Pack SFTP transfer daemon |
| ford-qc-hotfolder-PROD.service | Ford QC Box hotfolder (PROD) |
| ford-qc-hotfolder.service | Ford QC Box hotfolder (DEV/staging) |
| loreal-deliverables.service | L'Oréal deliverables Airtable sync |
| json-processor.service | JSON workflow processor |
| webmin.service | Webmin admin panel |
| xrdp.service | Remote desktop (RDP) |
| fail2ban.service | Brute-force protection |
| zerotier-one.service | ZeroTier VPN overlay |
| falcon-sensor.service | CrowdStrike Falcon EDR |
| libvirtd.service | KVM virtualization (libvirt) |

| Dir | Purpose |
|-----|---------|
| chef | Chef configuration management |
| CrowdStrike | Falcon sensor |
| containerd | Container runtime |

## Key Architecture

The server watches specific "hotfolder" directories on the NFS mount (`/data`). When files appear:
1. **ford-qc-hotfolder** — picks up assets, applies QC checks via Box API, uploads approved files
2. **ford-asset-pack-sftp** — transfers asset packs to SFTP endpoints
3. **loreal-deliverables** — syncs deliverable metadata to Airtable

## Ports

No public HTTP — only SSH (22) and ZeroTier VPN.

## Key Takeaways

- **CentOS 7 is EOL** — migration to RHEL 8/9 or Rocky Linux should be planned
- NFS `/data` is 49% full on 1TB — file retention policy important
- `box-cli` alias name comes from Box.com integration (not the CLI tool)
- Ford QC has TWO services: one for PROD (`ford-qc-hotfolder-PROD`) and one for DEV
- Webmin on port 10000 (internal), xrdp for remote desktop access
- CrowdStrike Falcon monitored by EDR
- libvirtd suggests possible local VMs running (check with `virsh list`)
