JobPilot Setup

Onboarding + update entry point: ensure the local terminal host is installed, current, and running, then send the user to the dashboard where the agent signs in. Safe to run without a token - do not defer to any auth gate.

JOBPILOT_WEB="${JOBPILOT_WEB:-https://jobpilot.suxrobgm.net}"

1. Already inside the terminal host?

If JOBPILOT_API_TOKEN is set, this session is already running inside the agent terminal - nothing to install. Confirm and stop:

You're connected to JobPilot. Run the search skill to find jobs, auto-apply to run a campaign, or manage everything at $JOBPILOT_WEB.

2. Probe the host

curl -fsS http://localhost:4102/healthz

• Reachable → already running; go to step 5 to check for updates.
• Refused but installed (jobpilot on PATH, or ~/.jobpilot/jobpilot exists) → go to step 4.
• Not found → install it (step 3), then start it (step 4).

3. Install the terminal host

Confirm with the user before running a remote install script, then run the one-liner for their OS:

• Windows (PowerShell):

  irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/suxrobGM/jobpilot/main/apps/terminal/install.ps1 | iex
  

• macOS / Linux:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/suxrobGM/jobpilot/main/apps/terminal/install.sh | bash
  

It downloads the latest release into ~/.jobpilot and adds it to PATH.

4. Start the host

Start it yourself - don't ask the user to. Launch it detached so it outlives this session, by full path and from the install dir:

• Windows (PowerShell):

  Start-Process "$env:USERPROFILE\.jobpilot\jobpilot.exe" -WorkingDirectory "$env:USERPROFILE\.jobpilot" -WindowStyle Hidden
  

• macOS / Linux:

  (cd "$HOME/.jobpilot" && nohup ./jobpilot >"$HOME/.jobpilot/host.log" 2>&1 & disown)
  

Then poll until it answers (up to ~30s):

• Windows (PowerShell): 1..30 | %{ try { irm http://localhost:4102/healthz; break } catch { sleep 1 } }
• macOS / Linux: for i in $(seq 1 30); do curl -fsS http://localhost:4102/healthz && break; sleep 1; done
