+# Week 9
+
+## Database Column Fixes
+Earlier, the infrastructure was causing issues on running it locally at http://192.168.49.2:32035/ showing errors.![Database missing Column Issues](< databaseColumnIssues.png>)
+
+I focused on resolving these missing database columns to make it running. I worked on adding some missing columns that were critical for the Web Agent to function correctly. After making these fixes, I also rebuilt the container images with the latest changes to keep everything up to date.
+The missing columns are:
+
+- `create_sysconfig.sql`
+- `create_uploadtree.sql`
+- `populate_sysconfig.sql`
+- `additional_tables.sql`
+- `create_additional_tables.sql`
+
+## Scheduler Agent & Dependencies
+
+Our main focus is currently on the Scheduler Agent, which plays a key role in coordinating other agents like `Ojo` and `Nomos`. In our weekly call, we discussed ways to strengthen its integration with these dependent agents. The scheduler tracks available agents, and for now, we’ve decided to continue with the **curl-based** approach, where it pings the master node to check agent status.
+
+## Meeting 1:
+
+*(July 30, 2025)*
+
+### Attendees:
+
+- [Avinal](https://github.com/avinal)
+- [Shaheem Azmal M MD](https://github.com/shaheemazmalmmd)
+- [Gaurav](https://github.com/gmishx)
+- [Muhammad Salman](https://github.com/SalmanDeveloperz)
+
+### Scheduler and Agent Tracking:
+
+- The scheduler’s role is to keep track of which agents are available.
+
+- We discussed replacing the current **curl-based** ping to the master node with a shared resource approach (shared volume).
+
+- Curl approach → supports dynamic reloading (scheduler detects automatically).
+
+- Shared volume approach → requires manual or controller-based reloads.
+
+- Final agreement: for now, continue with **curl** since it’s working, then later explore shared volume.
+
+### Focus on Getting Curl Running First:
+
+[Avinal](https://github.com/avinal) asked whether we should continue making **curl-based** scheduling work. [Gaurav](https://github.com/gmishx) suggested to first get it into a running state with **curl**. Once stable, we can think about alternatives.
+
+### Service Issues:
+
+- [Avinal](https://github.com/avinal) pointed out a problem where installing certain dependencies starts services automatically.
+
+- We discussed how this affects the setup, especially with PostgreSQL and other services.
+
+### Binary vs. Services Approach:
+
+- I suggested compiling agents as standalone binaries instead of depending on PostgreSQL inside the container.
+
+- This would remove service requirements from each Dockerfile but needs significant rework.
+
+- We also noted and understand by help of [Gaurav](https://github.com/gmishx) how environment variables and entrypoint scripts currently generate config files for agents.
+
+### Dockerfile Updates:
+
+- [Avinal](https://github.com/avinal) asked me to write a cleaner, optimal and updated **Dockerfile.ojo** , so he can tested on his end.
+
+- I worked on **Dockerfile.ojo** and sent updated one after testing that on my end and fully compatible with the current **curl-based** scheduler setup to [Avinal](https://github.com/avinal) for testing.
+
+## Meeting 2:  
+
+*(July 24, 2025)*
+
+In the community call, I explained about fixing the database issues, mainly adding the missing columns needed for the Web agent. I also rebuilt the images with these changes. Right now, our main blocker is still the **scheduler** agent and dependent agents like **ojo** and **nomos** and some other. We also discussed keeping **curl-based** checks for the agents’ status, and maybe simplifying the setup later, like using a standalone binary instead of relying on PostgreSQL inside the containers. 
+
+## What’s Next for Week 10
+
+- Get feedback of **Dockerfile.ojo** which I sent to mentor for testing with **curl-based** setup.
+- Fix the scheduler pod’s database connectivity  
+- Connect with mentors for planning final phase of work  
+- Test all pods, agents and the UI in Minikube to confirm everything’s rock-solid.
