SEC.01
The playbook
The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.
- 01recondistro (apt or dnf) and architecture (amd64/arm64)
- 02reconDocker Engine + compose plugin present and daemon active?
- 03reconloki container or loki-data volume already present?
- 04reconport 3100 free? otherwise who holds it
- 05reconfree disk to store logs
- 06actInstall Docker Engine (only if missing)verify
- 07actStart Loki 3.7verify
- 08actLoki is readyverify
SEC.02
What it verifies
Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.
- 01verifyInstall Docker Engine (only if missing)Verified by
docker compose version && systemctl is-active docker - 02verifyStart Loki 3.7Verified by
docker inspect -f "{{.State.Running}}" loki - 03verifyLoki is readyVerified by
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://127.0.0.1:3100/ready
SEC.03
Guardrails
Non-negotiable instructions the run must respect, whatever it finds on the server.
Never delete the loki-data volume. Loki has no authentication: it listens on 127.0.0.1, do not expose it without an authenticated reverse proxy.

How a recipe runs in Servor
Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.
search by intent — type “firewall”, get ufw
- 01Read-only reconnaissance before any change
- 02Every command signed by your browser, approved by you
- 03Each step verified before the run moves on, every run kept in the history

Deploy on Servor button
Maintain Grafana Loki or a project that needs it? Put this button in your README or on your site: one click and your users install it on their own server.
