How to run the guardian as a portable Windows app from a zip file with Vibe Service Guardian

Build a portable Windows x64 zip from the source folder and start or stop the console with included launchers.

Short answer: In the source folder, run Build-Portable.cmd to generate Vibe-Service-Guardian-Windows-x64-0.8.5.2.zip; then Extract the zip to a writable folder that only the current user can access; Double-click Start-VSG.cmd to start the console. All steps.

Who it is forA Windows user who wants a self-contained copy of the tool they can keep in one folder without installing Python for daily use.

The problemSetting up Python and a virtual environment every time is a barrier, and a shared machine may not allow installs.

The outcomeYou get a portable zip with Start, Open, and Stop launchers, and runtime data stays in the portable folder's data directory.

What you need first

  • Python 3.10 to 3.12 installed on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • A local copy of the repo from https://github.com/keith-yan/vibe-service-guardian
  • Permission to run a local web console bound to 127.0.0.1

Steps

  1. In the source folder, run Build-Portable.cmd to generate Vibe-Service-Guardian-Windows-x64-0.8.5.2.zip.
  2. Extract the zip to a writable folder that only the current user can access.
  3. Double-click Start-VSG.cmd to start the console.
  4. If the browser does not open on its own, double-click Open-VSG.cmd.
  5. When you are done, double-click Stop-VSG.cmd, and check the .sha256 file that ships with the package.

Prompt for your agent

Using the repo keith-yte/vibe-service-guardian, run `Build-Portable.cmd` in the source folder at <source path>, then confirm the zip <zip file name> exists with a matching `.sha256` file. Verify that the console starts through `Start-VSG.cmd` and stops through `Stop-VSG.cmd`.

Caveat. The EXE is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown publisher warning, and the portable build is not a signed release.
