Does www.ruby.im describe how the JayAI project actually runs today?
Question 1 · owner jay · open · generated 2026-10-22 01:42 UTC
Scope. Public pages of www.ruby.im and what its public endpoints do, captured 2026-10-22. No repository files (no observe.repo grant).
Purpose. Test E-DEN end to end on a real question; find pages that have fallen behind the running system.
Every claim cites numbered sources, whose exact captured passages are listed at the end, or is marked inference with its reasoning.
What is established
The site's self-hosted claim holds by its own definition: open-source Caddy, run by the project, on a rented DigitalOcean server. finding 1
Evidence: 3 supporting sources from 1 independent origin; 1 inference; 3 sources not yet graded.
Limitations: Rests on the site's own pages; nothing here independently checks who runs the server.
- The home page describes the project as Ruby first, open and self-hosted. [1]
- Own your stack counts open-source software run on someone else's hardware as acceptable, alongside proprietary services behind an adapter. [2]
- Since 2026-10-18 the sites are served by Caddy on a DigitalOcean server instead of ngrok. [3]
- Serving through open-source Caddy on a rented DigitalOcean server fits the site's own definition of self-hosted. inference: Own your stack accepts open source on hardware someone else runs; Caddy is open source and the project administers it, so the edge is self-run on rented hardware, not a vendor platform.
The Observability page's description of the dashboard sign-in is out of date. finding 2
Evidence: 3 supporting sources from 1 independent origin; 1 inference; 3 sources not yet graded.
Limitations: The capture of auth.ruby.im shows only the portal's address and a JavaScript notice, not which sign-in system it is; the link to ngrok's Google sign-in is an inference.
- The Observability page says the live dashboard asks for an approved Google sign-in, then a Grafana login. [4]
- The Google sign-in arrived with the ngrok setup on 2026-10-09, and ngrok was replaced on 2026-10-18. [3]
- Asking for www.ruby.im/grafana/ today ends at a separate sign-in portal on auth.ruby.im, not at Google. [5]
- The Observability page's sign-in description is out of date. inference: The page still names Google sign-in, which came with ngrok; ngrok was replaced, and /grafana now redirects to auth.ruby.im.
The Services page's statement that nothing is signed up yet is out of date. finding 3
Evidence: 2 supporting sources from 1 independent origin; 1 inference; 2 sources not yet graded.
Limitations: No page names the SMS provider; that one is signed up is inferred from a working number.
- The Services page says none of its outside services is signed up for yet. [6]
- A text-message sign-up with double opt-in has run on a ruby.im phone number since 2026-10-18. [3]
- So at least an SMS provider is signed up, and the Services page's 'nothing signed up yet' is out of date. inference: A working phone number that answers texts needs an account with an SMS carrier or provider, which is one of the services that page covers.
What is still unknown
Whether the other 30-odd pages are current. finding 4
Evidence: none recorded yet.
Limitations: Only 7 pages were captured in this run.
Hypotheses
- The pages describe the running system as it is today. refuted
- Some pages lag behind changes the changelog records. supported
Worth testing next
- Capture every page linked from the home page and check each dated claim against the changelog.
- After the two pages are corrected, capture them again and supersede findings 2 and 3.
