# Development Environment — OtOpcUa v2

> **Status**: DRAFT — concrete inventory + setup plan for every external resource the v2 build needs. Companion to `test-data-sources.md` (which catalogues the simulator/stub strategy per driver) and `implementation/overview.md` (which references the dev environment in entry-gate checklists).
>
> **Branch**: `v2`
> **Created**: 2026-04-17

## Scope

Every external resource a developer needs on their machine, plus the dedicated integration host that runs the heavier simulators per CI tiering decision #99. Includes Docker container images, ports, default credentials (dev only — production overrides documented), and ownership.

**Not in scope here**: production deployment topology (separate doc when v2 ships), CI pipeline configuration (separate ops concern), individual developer's IDE / editor preferences.

## Two Environment Tiers

Per decision #99:

| Tier | Purpose | Where it runs | Resources |
|------|---------|---------------|-----------|
| **PR-CI / inner-loop dev** | Fast, runs on minimal Windows + Linux build agents and developer laptops | Each developer's machine; CI runners | Pure-managed in-process simulators (NModbus, OPC Foundation reference server, FOCAS TCP stub from test project). No Docker, no VMs. |
| **Nightly / integration CI** | Full driver-stack validation against real wire protocols | One dedicated Windows host with Docker Desktop + Hyper-V + a TwinCAT XAR VM | All Docker simulators (`oitc/modbus-server`, `ab_server`, Snap7), TwinCAT XAR VM, Galaxy.Host installer + dev Galaxy access, FOCAS TCP stub binary, FOCAS FaultShim assembly |

The tier split keeps developer onboarding fast (no Docker required for first build) while concentrating the heavy simulator setup on one machine the team maintains.

## Installed Inventory — This Machine

Running record of every v2 dev service stood up on this developer machine. Updated on every install / config change. Credentials here are **dev-only** per decision #137 — production uses Integrated Security / gMSA per decision #46 and never any value in this table.

### Services

| Service | Container / Process | Version | Host:Port | Credentials (dev-only) | Data location | Status |
|---------|---------------------|---------|-----------|------------------------|---------------|--------|
| **Central config DB** | Docker container `otopcua-mssql` (image `mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest`) | 16.0.4250.1 (RTM-CU24-GDR, KB5083252) | `localhost:1433` | User `sa` / Password `OtOpcUaDev_2026!` | Docker named volume `otopcua-mssql-data` (mounted at `/var/opt/mssql` inside container) | ✅ Running |
| Dev Galaxy (AVEVA System Platform) | Local install on this dev box | v1 baseline | Local COM via MXAccess | Windows Auth | Galaxy repository DB `ZB` on local SQL Server (separate instance from `otopcua-mssql` — legacy v1 Galaxy DB, not related to v2 config DB) | ✅ Available (per CLAUDE.md) |
| GLAuth (LDAP) | Local install at `C:\publish\glauth\` | v1 baseline | `localhost:3893` (LDAP) / `3894` (LDAPS) | Bind DN `cn=admin,dc=otopcua,dc=local` / password in `glauth-otopcua.cfg` | `C:\publish\glauth\` | Pending — v2 test users + groups config not yet seeded (Phase 1 Stream E task) |
| OPC Foundation reference server | Not yet built | — | `localhost:62541` (target) | `user1` / `password1` (reference-server defaults) | — | Pending (needed for Phase 5 OPC UA Client driver testing) |

| Snap7 Server | — | — | `localhost:102` (target) | n/a | — | Pending (Phase 4 S7 driver) |
| TwinCAT XAR VM | — | — | `localhost:48898` (ADS) (target) | TwinCAT default route creds | — | Pending — runs in Hyper-V VM, not on this dev box (per decision #135) |

### Connection strings for `appsettings.Development.json`

Copy-paste-ready. **Never commit these to the repo** — they go in `appsettings.Development.json` (gitignored per the standard .NET convention) or in user-scoped dotnet secrets.

```jsonc
{
  "ConfigDatabase": {
    "ConnectionString": "Server=localhost,1433;Database=OtOpcUaConfig_Dev;User Id=sa;Password=OtOpcUaDev_2026!;TrustServerCertificate=true;Encrypt=false;"
  },
  "Authentication": {
    "Ldap": {
      "Host": "localhost",
      "Port": 3893,
      "UseLdaps": false,
      "BindDn": "cn=admin,dc=otopcua,dc=local",
      "BindPassword": "<see glauth-otopcua.cfg — pending seeding>"
    }
  }
}
```

For xUnit test fixtures that need a throwaway DB per test run, build connection strings with `Database=OtOpcUaConfig_Test_{timestamp}` to avoid cross-run pollution.

### Container management quick reference

```powershell
# Start / stop the SQL Server container (survives reboots via Docker Desktop auto-start)
docker stop otopcua-mssql
docker start otopcua-mssql

# Logs (useful for diagnosing startup failures or login issues)
docker logs otopcua-mssql --tail 50

# Shell into the container (rarely needed; sqlcmd is the usual tool)
docker exec -it otopcua-mssql bash

# Query via sqlcmd inside the container (Git Bash needs MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 to avoid path mangling)
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker exec otopcua-mssql /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P "OtOpcUaDev_2026!" -C -Q "SELECT @@VERSION"

# Nuclear reset: drop the container + volume (destroys all DB data)
docker stop otopcua-mssql
docker rm otopcua-mssql
docker volume rm otopcua-mssql-data
# …then re-run the docker run command from Bootstrap Step 6
```

### Credential rotation

Dev credentials in this inventory are convenience defaults, not secrets. Change them at will per developer — just update this doc + each developer's `appsettings.Development.json`. There is no shared secret store for dev.

## Resource Inventory

### A. Always-required (every developer + integration host)

## Bootstrap Order — Inner-loop Developer Machine

Order matters because some installs have prerequisites and several need admin elevation (UAC). ~60–90 min total on a fresh Windows machine, including reboots.

**Admin elevation appears at**: WSL2 install (step 4a), Docker Desktop install (step 4b), and any `wsl --install -d` call. winget will prompt UAC interactively when these run; accept it. There is no fully-silent admin-free install path on Windows for Docker Desktop's prerequisites.

1. **Install .NET 10 SDK** (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/) — required to build anything
   ```powershell
   winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.10 --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
   ```

2. **Install .NET Framework 4.8 SDK + targeting pack** — only needed when starting Phase 2 (Galaxy.Host); skip for Phase 0–1 if not yet there
   ```powershell
   winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.Framework.DeveloperPack_4 --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
   ```

3. **Install Git + PowerShell 7.4+**
   ```powershell
   winget install --id Git.Git --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
   winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
   ```

4. **Install Docker Desktop** (with WSL2 backend per decision #134, leaves Hyper-V free for the future TwinCAT XAR VM):

   **4a. Enable WSL2** — UAC required:
   ```powershell
   wsl --install
   ```
   Reboot when prompted. After reboot, the default Ubuntu distro launches and asks for a username/password — set them (these are WSL-internal, not used for Docker auth).

   Verify after reboot:
   ```powershell
   wsl --status
   wsl --list --verbose
   ```
   Expected: `Default Version: 2`, at least one distro (typically `Ubuntu`) with `STATE Running` or `Stopped`.

   **4b. Install Docker Desktop** — UAC required:
   ```powershell
   winget install --id Docker.DockerDesktop --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
   ```
   The installer adds you to the `docker-users` Windows group. **Sign out and back in** (or reboot) so the group membership takes effect.

   **4c. Configure Docker Desktop** — open it once after sign-in:
   - **Settings → General**: confirm "Use the WSL 2 based engine" is **checked** (decision #134 — coexists with future Hyper-V VMs)
   - **Settings → General**: confirm "Use Windows containers" is **NOT checked** (we use Linux containers for `mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server`, `oitc/modbus-server`, etc.)
   - **Settings → Resources → WSL Integration**: enable for the default Ubuntu distro
   - (Optional, large fleets) **Settings → Resources → Advanced**: bump CPU / RAM allocation if you have headroom

   Verify:
   ```powershell
   docker --version
   docker ps
   ```
   Expected: version reported, `docker ps` returns an empty table (no containers running yet, but the daemon is reachable).

5. **Clone repos**:
   ```powershell
   git clone https://gitea.dohertylan.com/dohertj2/lmxopcua.git
   git clone https://gitea.dohertylan.com/dohertj2/scadalink-design.git
   git clone https://gitea.dohertylan.com/dohertj2/3yearplan.git
   ```

6. **Start SQL Server** (Linux container; runs in the WSL2 backend):
   ```powershell
   docker run --name otopcua-mssql `
       -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" `
       -e "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=OtOpcUaDev_2026!" `
       -p 1433:1433 `
       -v otopcua-mssql-data:/var/opt/mssql `
       -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2022-latest
   ```

   The `-v otopcua-mssql-data:/var/opt/mssql` named volume preserves database files across container restarts and `docker rm` — drop it only if you want a strictly throwaway instance.

   Verify:
   ```powershell
   docker ps --filter name=otopcua-mssql
   docker exec -it otopcua-mssql /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P "OtOpcUaDev_2026!" -C -Q "SELECT @@VERSION"
   ```
   Expected: container `STATUS Up`, `SELECT @@VERSION` returns `Microsoft SQL Server 2022 (...)`.

   To stop / start later:
   ```powershell
   docker stop otopcua-mssql
   docker start otopcua-mssql
   ```

7. **Install GLAuth** at `C:\publish\glauth\` per existing CLAUDE.md instructions; populate `glauth-otopcua.cfg` with the test users + groups (template in `docs/v2/dev-environment-glauth-config.md` — to be added in the setup task)

8. **Install EF Core CLI** (used to apply migrations against the SQL Server container starting in Phase 1 Stream B):
   ```powershell
   dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 10.0.*
   ```

9. **Run `dotnet restore`** in the `lmxopcua` repo

10. **Run `dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx`** (post-Phase-0) or `ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx` (pre-Phase-0) — verifies the toolchain
9. **Run `dotnet test`** with the inner-loop filter — should pass on a fresh machine

## Bootstrap Order — Integration Host

Order matters more here because of Hyper-V conflicts. ~half-day on a fresh machine.

1. **Install Windows Server 2022 or Windows 11 Pro** (Hyper-V capable)
2. **Enable Hyper-V** + WSL2
3. **Install Docker Desktop for Windows**, configure to use WSL2 backend (NOT Hyper-V backend — leaves Hyper-V free for the TwinCAT XAR VM)
4. **Set up WSL2 distro** (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) for native Linux binaries that conflict with Docker Desktop
5. **Pull / start Modbus simulator**:
   ```powershell
   docker run -d --name modbus-sim -p 502:502 -v ${PWD}/modbus-config.yaml:/server_config.yaml oitc/modbus-server
   ```
6. **Build + start ab_server** (in WSL2):
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/libplctag/libplctag
   cd libplctag/src/tests
   make ab_server
   ./ab_server --plc=ControlLogix --port=44818  # default tags loaded from a config file
   ```
7. **Build + start Snap7 Server** (in WSL2):
   - Download Snap7 from https://snap7.sourceforge.net/
   - Build the example server; run on port 102 with the test DB layout from `test-data-sources.md` §4
8. **Set up TwinCAT XAR VM**:
   - Create a Hyper-V VM (Gen 2, Windows 11)
   - Install TwinCAT 3 XAE + XAR (download from Beckhoff, free for dev/test)
   - Activate the 7-day trial; document the rotation schedule
   - Configure ADS routes for the integration host to reach the VM
   - Deploy the test PLC project from `test-data-sources.md` §5 ("a tiny test project — `MAIN` (PLC code) + `GVL`")
9. **Build + start OPC Foundation reference server**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard
   cd UA-.NETStandard/Applications/ConsoleReferenceServer
   dotnet run --port 62541
   ```
10. **Install SQL Server 2022 dev edition** (or run the Docker container as on developer machines)
11. **Build + run FOCAS TestStub** (from this repo, post-Phase-5):
    ```powershell
    dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Focas.TestStub -- --port 8193
    ```
12. **Verify** by running `dotnet test --filter Category=Integration` from a developer machine pointed at the integration host

## Credential Management

### Dev environment defaults

The defaults in this doc are **for dev environments only**. They're documented here so a developer can stand up a working setup without hunting; they're not secret.

### Production overrides

For any production deployment:
- SQL Server: Integrated Security with gMSA (decision #46) — never SQL login with shared password
- LDAP: production GLAuth or AD instance with proper service principal
- TwinCAT: paid license (per-runtime), not the 7-day trial
- All other services: deployment-team's credential management process; documented in deployment-guide.md (separate doc, post-v2.0)

### Storage

For dev defaults:
- SQL Server SA password: stored in each developer's local `appsettings.Development.json` (gitignored)
- GLAuth bind DN/password: stored in `glauth-otopcua.cfg` (gitignored)
- Docker secrets / volumes: developer-local

For production:
- gMSA / cert-mapped principals — no passwords stored anywhere
- Per-NodeId credentials in `ClusterNodeCredential` table (per decision #83)
- Admin app uses LDAP (no SQL credential at all on the user-facing side)

## Test Data Seed

Each environment needs a baseline data set so cross-developer tests are reproducible. Lives in `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests/SeedData/`:

- **GLAuth** users: `test-readonly@otopcua.local` (in `OtOpcUaReadOnly`), `test-operator@otopcua.local` (`OtOpcUaWriteOperate` + `OtOpcUaAlarmAck`), `test-fleetadmin@otopcua.local` (`OtOpcUaAdmins`)
- **Central config DB**: a seed cluster `TEST-CLUSTER-01` with 1 node + 1 namespace + 0 drivers (other tests add drivers)
- **Modbus sim**: YAML config preloading the addresses from `test-data-sources.md` §1 (HR 0–9 constants, ramp at HR 100, etc.)
- **TwinCAT XAR**: the test PLC project deployed; symbols match `test-data-sources.md` §5
- **OPC Foundation reference server**: starts with built-in test address space; tests don't modify it

Seeds are idempotent (re-runnable) and gitignored where they contain credentials.

## Setup Plan (executable)

### Step 1 — Inner-loop dev environment (each developer, ~1 day with documentation)

**Owner**: developer
**Prerequisite**: Bootstrap order steps 1–10 above (note: steps 4a, 4b, and any later `wsl --install -d` call require admin elevation / UAC interaction — there is no fully-silent admin-free install path on Windows for Docker Desktop's prerequisites)
**Acceptance**:
- `dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` passes
- A test that touches the central config DB succeeds (proves SQL Server reachable)
- A test that authenticates against GLAuth succeeds (proves LDAP reachable)
- `docker ps --filter name=otopcua-mssql` shows the SQL Server container `STATUS Up`

### Troubleshooting (common Windows install snags)

- **`wsl --install` says "Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions"** after first reboot — open a fresh PowerShell and run `wsl --install -d Ubuntu` (the `-d` form forces a distro install if the prereq-only install ran first).
- **Docker Desktop install completes but `docker --version` reports "command not found"** — `PATH` doesn't pick up the new Docker shims until a new shell is opened. Open a fresh PowerShell, or sign out/in, and retry.
- **`docker ps` reports "permission denied" or "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon"** — your user account isn't in the `docker-users` group yet. Sign out and back in (group membership is loaded at login). Verify with `whoami /groups | findstr docker-users`.
- **Docker Desktop refuses to start with "WSL 2 installation is incomplete"** — open the WSL2 kernel update from https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel, install, then restart Docker Desktop. (Modern `wsl --install` ships the kernel automatically; this is mostly a legacy problem.)
- **SQL Server container starts but immediately exits** — SA password complexity. The default `OtOpcUaDev_2026!` meets the requirement (≥8 chars, upper + lower + digit + symbol); if you change it, keep complexity. Check `docker logs otopcua-mssql` for the exact failure.
- **`docker run` fails with "image platform does not match host platform"** — your Docker is configured for Windows containers. Switch to Linux containers in Docker Desktop tray menu ("Switch to Linux containers"), or recheck Settings → General per step 4c.
- **Hyper-V conflict when later setting up TwinCAT XAR VM** — confirm Docker Desktop is on the **WSL 2 backend**, not Hyper-V backend. The two coexist only when Docker uses WSL 2.

### Step 2 — Integration host (one-time, ~1 week)

**Owner**: DevOps lead
**Prerequisite**: dedicated Windows machine, hardware specs ≥ 8 cores / 32 GB RAM / 500 GB SSD
**Acceptance**:
- Each simulator (Modbus, AB, S7, TwinCAT, OPC UA reference) responds to a probe from a developer machine
- A nightly CI job runs `dotnet test --filter Category=Integration` against the integration host and passes
- Service-account permissions reviewed by security lead

### Step 3 — TwinCAT XAR VM trial rotation automation (one-time, half-day)

**Owner**: DevOps lead
**Prerequisite**: Step 2 complete
**Acceptance**:
- A scheduled task on the integration host either re-activates the 7-day trial automatically OR alerts the team 24h before expiry; cycle tested

### Step 4 — Per-developer GLAuth config sync (recurring, when test users change)

**Owner**: developer (each)
**Acceptance**:
- A script in the repo (`scripts/sync-glauth-dev-config.ps1`) updates the local GLAuth config from a template; documented in CLAUDE.md
- Test users defined in the template work on every developer machine

### Step 5 — Docker simulator config (per-developer, ~30 min)

**Owner**: developer (each)
**Acceptance**:
- The Modbus simulator container is reachable from `127.0.0.1:502` from the developer's test runner (only needed if the developer is debugging Modbus driver work; not required for Phase 0/1)

### Step 6 — Codex companion setup (per-developer, ~5 min)

**Owner**: developer (each)
**Acceptance**:
- `/codex:setup` skill confirms readiness; `/codex:adversarial-review` works against a small test diff

## Operational Risks

| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| TwinCAT 7-day trial expires mid-CI run | Step 3 automation; alert before expiry; license budget approved as fallback for production-grade pre-release validation |
| Docker Desktop license terms change for org use | Track Docker pricing; budget approved or fall back to Podman if license becomes blocking |
| Integration host single point of failure | Document the setup so a second host can be provisioned in <2 days; test fixtures pin to a hostname so failover changes one DNS entry |
| GLAuth dev config drifts between developers | Sync script + template (Step 4) keep configs aligned; periodic review |
| Galaxy / MXAccess licensing for non-dev-machine | Galaxy stays on the dev machines that already have Aveva licenses; integration host does NOT run Galaxy (Galaxy.Host integration tests run on the dev box, not the shared host) |
| Long-lived dev env credentials in dev `appsettings.Development.json` | Gitignored; documented as dev-only; production never uses these |

## Decisions to Add to plan.md

| # | Decision | Rationale |
|---|----------|-----------|
| 133 | Two-tier dev environment: inner-loop (in-process simulators on developer machines) + integration (Docker / VM / native simulators on a single dedicated Windows host) | Per decision #99. Concrete inventory + setup plan in `dev-environment.md` |
| 134 | Docker Desktop with WSL2 backend (not Hyper-V backend) on integration host so TwinCAT XAR VM can run in Hyper-V alongside Docker | TwinCAT runtime cannot coexist with Hyper-V-mode Docker Desktop; WSL2 backend leaves Hyper-V free for the XAR VM. Documented operational constraint |
| 135 | TwinCAT XAR runs only in a dedicated VM on the integration host; developer machines do NOT run XAR locally | The 7-day trial reactivation needs centralized management; the VM is shared infrastructure |
| 136 | Galaxy / MXAccess testing happens on developer machines that have local Aveva installs, NOT on the shared integration host | Aveva licensing scoped to dev workstations; integration host doesn't carry the license. v1 IntegrationTests parity (Phase 2) runs on developer boxes. |
| 137 | Dev env credentials are documented openly in `dev-environment.md`; production credentials use Integrated Security / gMSA per decision #46 | Dev defaults are not secrets; they're convenience. Production never uses these values |
