Astra Cesbo Install Better 💯 Reliable

Report: Improving Astra + Cesbo Install Experience

Increase open files for Astra:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/astra.service.d
echo -e "[Service]\nLimitNOFILE=1048576" > /etc/systemd/system/astra.service.d/limits.conf
systemctl daemon-reload

Recommendations (High-level)

1. Simplify installer flow with a guided onboarding wizard.
2. Bundle or auto-manage required plugin versions and compatibility checks.
3. Implement staged/demo import with previews and host-friendly options.
4. Add robust preflight checks and one-click fixes or clear instructions.
5. Improve in-dashboard documentation, inline help, and localized guides.
6. Telemetry for install failures (opt-in) to prioritize fixes.
7. Accessibility and performance improvements for the installer UI.

7. Performance, Accessibility & Security

• Minimal external dependencies in wizard; load assets conditionally.
• Ensure WCAG AA compliance for wizard UI (labels, keyboard nav, color contrast).
• Sanitize and validate all inputs; request minimal permissions.
• Respect privacy: explicitly request telemetry opt-in and explain its use.

Metrics to Track Success

• Reduction in support tickets related to installation by target 40% in 3 months.
• Successful demo import completion rate increase to 90% on supported hosts.
• Time-to-ready-site (from activation to usable demo) reduced by 50%.
• Opt-in telemetry participation and top failure causes identified and fixed.

Estimated Resources & Roles

• Product manager (1), frontend engineer (2), backend engineer (2), QA (1), technical writer (1), localization lead (part-time), support engineer (1) — 3-month initial project estimate.

Automate Restart on Packet Loss

Create a cron job that checks for degraded streams:

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/astra-cli check lost_packets > 10 && systemctl restart astra
