I'd rather not touch it if possible -- I spent a moderate amount
of thought+effort into the Patchy system specifically because I
wanted it to be decentralized.

First step is to set up patchy, which only needs your account and
seems to be working fine now.  Second step might be to set up some
kind of server for the test-patches, if James doesn't want to do
that.  If James is happy with the status quo, then I guess
something else next...?  I'm not really certain what you want to
do with that computer other than test-patches (and the server for
that will likely take 5-20 hours of python hacking by you, so I'm
not certain you want to work on that now).

If you're interested, then try running test-patches.  It won't
upload anything, so don't worry about any mistakes here.  Just run
it, then look in the output directory and try running one of the
created scripts.
