Codebase-wide audit pass: fixed real bugs (SSH hangs missing BatchMode,
local-outside-function no-ops, variable name collisions, a truncated
ratio calc, wrong state-dir path, DARK vs NO_INTERNET drift, and more),
then pulled logic that was duplicated across multiple scripts — arr
cleanup safety gates, docker restart ordering, container maintenance
stop/restart, watchdog state-file helpers, partnership role resolution,
cert expiry checks, remote node discovery, and TMDB discovery scoring —
into common.sh so each now has a single implementation.
docker_watchdog: config dump at startup (thresholds/limits), skip list shown when active, per-container healthy log for Tier1 required + mem/CPU monitored containers
stability_watchdog: config dump with all tier thresholds, log() on pass for rootfs/log/tmp/load/zombies/NIC checks (previously silent on clean)
resource_watchdog: config dump with all pressure thresholds and container lists, log normal pressure state with live RAM/load values
system_watchdog: per-script timing on each child script run
network_watchdog: config dump (internet URL, DDNS domain/container, NPM URL, strike limit)
storage_watchdog: config dump (growth threshold, log max, paths, suppress ceilings)
webgui_watchdog: log nginx worker and php-fpm worker counts on healthy check
log() is gated on ENABLE_LOGGING — silent on normal runs. Healthy
confirmations (All healthy, Network healthy, Storage healthy, WebGUI
healthy) were invisible, making banners appear with nothing after them.
Switched all four to plain echo so they show every cycle.
All watchdog scripts now open with a consistent echo banner:
━━━ <icon> <Name> Watchdog — <timestamp> ━━━
Previously network and storage used a quiet log() line (no separator),
and stability_watchdog used warn() which made every run show ⚠️.
Also: network_watchdog now logs "Network healthy ✅" on clean exit,
and stability_watchdog's reboot-trigger block now says "Stability"
instead of the old "System Watchdog" label.
Checks:
1. Internet reachability (gates all remaining checks)
2. DDNS sync — public IP vs Cloudflare DNS record, restarts Gmer4Lfe.com container on mismatch
3. Tailscale status — notify only, no auto-restart
4. NPM proxy — external curl to https://gmer4lfe.com, 2-strike system before NginxProxyManager restart
Config: master.conf NETWORK_WATCHDOG_* block, host1.conf HOST1_NETWORK_WATCHDOG_* values
Added to SYSTEM_WATCHDOG_SCRIPTS — called by system_watchdog.sh each cycle
Fix: storage_watchdog.sh was calling get_strikes/set_strikes without defining them —
added local definitions (same pattern as docker_watchdog.sh and stability_watchdog.sh)
Watchdog renames and moves:
system_watchdog.sh → stability_watchdog.sh (last line of defense — reboots)
storage_watchdog.sh → Watchdogs/System/storage_watchdog.sh
webgui_restart.sh → Watchdogs/System/webgui_watchdog.sh (renamed to match folder convention)
New thin orchestrator:
Watchdogs/system_watchdog.sh — runs SYSTEM_WATCHDOG_SCRIPTS from master.conf
Sits between docker_watchdog and stability_watchdog in the orchestrator tier chain
System/ subfolder is the growth seam for future system component watchdogs
master.conf:
WATCHDOG_ORCHESTRATOR_SCRIPTS updated — storage removed, system_watchdog added as tier
SYSTEM_WATCHDOG_SCRIPTS array added — storage + webgui
server_reboot.sh:
Calls array_stopping.sh before VM shutdown for guaranteed safe array stop
Removed raw rc.docker stop and exit trap — orchestrator owns container shutdown
