Houdry

Houdry Fabric and Houdry Agent

LAN and fabric URL

How Agent and GPU nodes find houdry serve.

houdry serve announces itself on the local network (mDNS _houdry._tcp and UDP port 41808). Houdry Agent and houdry gpu register browse for that announce. Agent also fetches GET /.well-known/houdry.json on ports 18080, 8090, and 8080.

One control plane on Wi-Fi

You usually do not type an IP. Agent fills Houdry server URL. GPU nodes run:

houdry gpu register

Several control planes, or isolated Wi-Fi

Paste the URL. Use HTTPS and the port serve is listening on (default 8080).

  • Nodes: houdry gpu register --server https://HOST:8080
  • Agent: https://HOST:8080/v1

Guest networks that isolate clients block discovery.

Turn announce off

houdry serve --listen 0.0.0.0:8080 --no-lan-discover

Then everyone uses an explicit URL. Confirm a host is Fabric:

curl --cacert "$HOME/.houdry/server/pki/root_ca.crt" \
  https://HOST:8080/.well-known/houdry.json

Do not bind Fabric to the public internet. It is an on-prem control plane.
