Plugin/varaverk.plg: URL updated to github.com/FailedProxy/Varaverk
Configurations/host.conf.template:
Full host conf structure with HOSTN/hostn placeholders.
All personal values blank, all sections documented.
Covers identity, rsync, docker, fallback, media, monitors,
transcodes, arrs, system watchdog, resource manager.
Varaverk.page: checks if HOST1 is blank before rendering tabs.
If blank → shows setup wizard, returns early (tabs never render).
pages/setup.php: first-run wizard UI.
Auto-populates hostname from hostname -s.
Role selection: primary (HOST1) or partner (HOST2+).
Partner slot selector for HOST3+.
api/setup.php: handles wizard form POST.
Writes HOST1/HOST2 (and HOST3+) into master.conf preserving all
other content. Creates host*.conf from template with HOSTN/hostn
replaced and SSH key path pre-filled from hostname convention.
Never overwrites an existing host*.conf.
Plugin/varaverk.plg:
- Method="install update": git clone (fresh) or pull (update)
Validates Unraid, checks array is started via shfs mount, clones
to SCRIPTS_DIR (read from varaverk.cfg, default /mnt/user/appdata/Varaverk),
creates Plugin/unraid symlink, inits varaverk.cfg, bootstraps master.conf
from template on first install.
- Every boot: lightweight boot.sh recreates symlink if missing (no git ops).
- Method="remove": removes web symlink, leaves appdata intact.
Configurations/master.conf.template:
- Full master.conf with personal values blanked: HOST1/HOST2 empty,
GITEA_REPO_PATH empty, personal container names in profiles cleared,
FALLBACK_ENABLED=false, CRITICAL/DAILY rsync defaults corrected to true.
New users fill in HOST1, HOST2, then proceed to partnership setup.
Single SSH probe per remote checks all three conditions in one call:
- plugin cfg exists (varaverk.cfg present with SCRIPTS_DIR)
- Configurations/ dir exists at that path
- master.conf already present on remote
Any failure skips that host entirely rather than pushing blind.
Uses the discovered SCRIPTS_DIR as the SCP destination, not ours.
Instead of assuming the remote uses the same appdata path as the local
host, SSH-grep their varaverk.cfg first and SCP to their actual
Configurations/ dir. Falls back to /mnt/user/appdata/Varaverk if the
plugin isn't installed or the file can't be read.
vv_push_master_conf() in config.php: finds all remote HOST* entries,
resolves Tailscale IPs, SCPs master.conf to each.
rawconf.php calls it after a successful write when file=master.conf.
Scheduler save button shows sync status: "✓ Saved · synced to HOST2"
or "✓ Saved · push failed: HOST2" on error.
Also fix path bug in partnership_transfer.sh — was SCPing to
appdata root instead of Configurations/.
VaraverkSettings.page (Settings → Other Settings) now owns SCRIPTS_DIR.
The inline Advanced-mode field and vvSaveSettings() in the Scheduler tab
were a second path to the same write — removed.
Discover all HOST*_TRANSCODE_SERVERS from every configured host.
For remote hosts, rewrite localhost/127.0.0.1 in the URL to their
Tailscale IP (via resolve_tailscale_ip). Unreachable hosts are
warned and skipped — partial sync continues for reachable servers.
Adding a new host needs no script changes — just HOST*_TRANSCODE_SERVERS
in the new host conf.
Removed from DAILY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS — critical orch already covers it
at a much tighter cadence. Play state stays in sync within 30 minutes of
any watched/resume activity on either server.
play_state_sync.sh:
- Add detect_hosts() call so TRANSCODE_SERVERS alias is populated
- Switch MEDIA_SERVERS → TRANSCODE_SERVERS (correct array name from host*.conf)
- Fix malformed jq fallback in combine step (was {"} now handled with if/else)
- Skip placeholder API keys in _add_server
load_config.sh:
- Replace 'for x in $(ls glob)' with 'while read < <(printf glob | sort)'
so paths with spaces (e.g. dev workspace) don't get word-split
Syncs played/resume state bidirectionally across all configured Emby
and Jellyfin servers. Newest LastPlayedDate wins; users matched by
name (case-insensitive); unmatched users skipped cleanly.
Matching: IMDb/TMDB for movies, TVDB+s/e for episodes, MusicBrainz
track ID for audio. Also syncs resume positions for partial plays.
Config: PLAY_SYNC_ENABLED, PLAY_SYNC_DAYS (default 90), PLAY_SYNC_TYPES.
Modes: --dry-run, --status, --full (ignore day window), --log.
Wired into DAILY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS after arr cleanup.
- Tools and Custom: args input always visible (translucent at rest, full on hover)
- Orch children: args input hidden when orch is on, shown when orch is off
(same toggle as the cron field — orch off = standalone mode)
- vvRunJob/vvDryRun: pick up .vv-script-args value, POST as extra_args
- run.php / dryrun.php: accept extra_args, validate against shell metacharacters,
append to run_job.sh invocation (flows through SCRIPT_ARGS to the script)
- CSS: .vv-script-args — 30% opacity at rest, 100% on hover/focus
Default still removes only dangling (untagged) images.
--all removes stopped containers first, then all images not used
by any running container — clears tagged orphan images left behind
by removed or stopped apps.
PHP architecture:
- Extract common.php from monitor.php — shared system functions (vv_system_info,
vv_memory_breakdown, vv_remote_hosts_stats, disk/GPU/UPS/network/docker/parity, etc.)
now live in one place; monitor.php and watchdog.php both require common.php
- Add unraid_api.php as explicit include (was implicit via config.php chain)
- confform.php: add missing require_once config.php (implicit dep made explicit)
- Delete orphaned pages/docs.php and pages/config.php (absorbed into scheduler)
Watchdog page:
- Add Storage watchdog card (growth + log strikes, baseline age, suppress ceilings)
- Add Network watchdog card (NPM strikes, DDNS domain/container, NPM URL)
- One host per row layout — all 5 watchdog cards equally spaced via inner grid
- Watchdog now uses Unraid API for local system stats; remote nodes with API key
but no SSH get system info from vv_remote_hosts_stats() with api_only flag
- SSH bundle: /proc/meminfo passed as raw section instead of awk-parsed header
fields — fixes RAM showing 0 on remote hosts where awk quoting was unreliable
- vv_wd_local_system() rewritten as thin wrapper over vv_system_info() + vv_memory_breakdown()
Monitor page:
- Watchdog card: add stability strikes, storage watchdog strikes, network NPM status,
live system stats (rootfs/log/tmp %, RAM free, load, CPU temp, zombies, NIC, sshd)
- Row height: switch from max-height on cards to minmax(0, calc(...)) on grid track —
all cards in a row now fill to the tallest card's height correctly (fixes Pools card
being shorter than neighbours)
Scheduler page:
- Add Tools section above Custom Scripts — lists Tools/*.sh with run/dry-run/cron/log
- vv_tools_scripts() function in scheduler.php include
Tools:
- Add docker_prune_images.sh — removes dangling Docker images; --dry-run and --status modes
- Replace pill view with per-container rows showing full detail
- docker inspect batch call: networks+IPs, port mappings, bind mounts
- Container icon from template XML, name links to WebUI if configured
- Network IP badges (blue), port mapping badges (yellow)
- Bind mount paths shown src→dst, collapsible expand for >3 paths
- Large folders (>7 containers) auto-span full width
- Status badge: RUNNING/STOPPED/PAUSED/EXITED with colour
- Stopped containers dimmed, icons load from template XMLs
- Primary store moved to /boot/config/plugins/varaverk/docker_folders.json
- No dependency on folder.view3 plugin being installed
- Auto-imports folder.view3 JSON on first run if it exists (one-time bootstrap)
- Mirrors writes to folder.view3 JSON only if that plugin's directory is present
- Toolbar shows '⇄ folder.view3' badge when sync is active
- New Docker tab (between Scheduler and Watchdog)
- Reads /boot/config/plugins/folder.view3/docker.json — fully compatible with folder.view3 plugin
- Writes changes to both docker.json AND HOST*_DOCKER_FOLDER_MAP in host*.conf simultaneously
- Edit mode: rename folders (inline input), delete folders, move containers via popover picker, create new folders
- Drift banner: highlights containers where conf desired state doesn't match json actual state
- Sync conf→JSON: apply conf desired state to json (fixes drift after onboard)
- Sync JSON→conf: capture manual json edits back into conf
- Ungrouped section shows all containers not assigned to any folder
- Onboard scripts can read HOST*_DOCKER_FOLDER_MAP to auto-place new containers
Scheduler UI:
- Arrange mode: drag scripts between orchs and reorder within arrays; right
panel shows unassigned script pool; Save Arrangement commits to master.conf
- + Folder: named collapsible subfolders for Custom Scripts stored in schedule.json
- Rsync children: hide Run/Dry Run/Log/location when orch is ON; show standalone
location + cron controls when orch is OFF; cron only fires when both filled
- Non-conf-managed children (transcode): toggles now show enabled when orch is on
- Right panel height sync: fix ResizeObserver feedback loop via align-self:flex-start
on left panel and left.offsetHeight in vvFitRight
- How do I use this: updated to cover arrange, folders, rsync standalone, transcode
New API endpoints:
- board.php, clearlock.php, movescript.php, rawconf.php, readscript.php
- reorderarray.php, rsync_standalone.php, savefolders.php
run.php / dryrun.php: accept optional --location= arg for standalone rsync calls
Daily restarts create orphaned images that were never cleaned up.
Added docker image prune -f section matching docker_update_remaining.sh pattern.
Prune runs each cycle so orphans from the previous day's restart are removed daily
rather than waiting for the weekly docker_update_remaining.sh sweep.
Previously ran daily at 3am with internal self-gating. Now scheduled directly
on the 15th — uptime and interval gates still apply; a skip means next month's 15th.
- vv_script_children() now calls vv_script_suggested_cron() per child,
adding suggested_cron and suggested_label to each child entry
- Orch rows (non-event) and regular script child rows render a faint
.vv-cron-hint span to the left of the cron input showing the suggested
cron from the script's # Schedule: header
- Clicking the hint fills in the cron input (data-cron + onclick)
- Tooltip shows full "suggested_cron — label" string on hover
- .vv-cron-hint: color #444, brightens to #888 on hover
- Right panel title: "Suggested Schedules" → "Scheduler Information"
- Removed top hint paragraph; info now lives in the panel itself
- Added three collapsible info sections (open by default) at top of panel:
Controls — toggle, cron, run, dry run, log, stop, verbose, config
Orchestrators — enabled/disabled behavior, child cron rules, event triggers
Children & Advanced — toggle semantics, independent cron, rsync flag badge
- Bullet lists use CSS columns:2 with column-fill:balance for even distribution
- "Suggested Schedules" divider separates info from parsed schedule blocks
- Added vvToggleSug() for DOM-traversal-based accordion (no ID dependency)
- Rsync/rsync.sh children in Advanced now show as conf_flag type when the
parent orch controls a *_RSYNC_ENABLED tier flag; toggle writes true/false
to master.conf instead of comment/uncommenting a SCRIPTS array entry
- Added vv_conf_flag_value() and vv_conf_flag_set() helpers in scheduler.php
- Added api/flag_toggle.php endpoint (validates *_RSYNC_ENABLED pattern)
- Added api/stop.php: kills process group, sweeps stuck locks, updates stat
- vv-flag-badge CSS (amber, monospace) to distinguish from event/script rows
- vvSaveChild() routes conf_flag children to flag_toggle.php unconditionally
- vvApplyOrchState() keeps conf_flag toggle at real flag value; disables when orch off
- vvSaveAll() skips conf_flag children (immediate-save only)
When orch is ON (god mode):
- Children's toggle state is read from master.conf comment status
- Toggling a child comments/uncomments its line in the *_SCRIPTS array
- Child crons are suppressed in vv_cron_rebuild — orch is the sole trigger
- Children not found in any *_SCRIPTS array are shown disabled (read-only)
When orch is OFF:
- All children flip to off; schedule.json updated immediately
- A child with a cron value + enabled toggle gets its own independent cron entry
- A child with no cron does nothing when enabled
New: vv_conf_script_map() — cached per-request scan of master.conf arrays
New: vv_parse_conf_array_full() — includes commented entries (disabled scripts)
New: vv_conf_toggle_script() — comments/uncomments a script line in master.conf
New: api/conf_toggle.php — endpoint for child toggle → master.conf write
Two hardcoded event-triggered entries appear at the top of the scheduler
(array_started.sh / array_stopping.sh). They show an ⚡ Array Start /
⚡ Array Stop badge instead of a cron field and are enabled/disabled via
the normal toggle.
Static event scripts fire them via Unraid's event system:
- event/disks_mounted/array_start_jobs → runs in background (non-blocking)
- event/disks_unmounting/array_stop_jobs → runs foreground (blocks until done)
vv_cron_rebuild() skips @array_* entries so they never land in the cron file.
Scripts executed on each event are managed in master.conf via
ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS and ARRAY_STOP_SCRIPTS arrays.
Auto Scroll now pauses automatically when user scrolls up and resumes
when they reach the bottom — no separate Scroll Lock needed.
Lidarr discovery no longer hard-skips single-seed candidates; they
score low on breadth but can still reach threshold on merit.
Before update_cron was wired in, the plugin wrote directly to
/etc/cron.d/varaverk. That file persisted after the migration and
caused duplicate job firing (two watchdog instances at :00/:15/:30/:45).
The second instance hit the lock, exited with warn, and overwrote the
stat file — killing the running indicator while the first was still live.
vv_cron_rebuild() now unlinks the legacy file after every update_cron
call. Since rebuild_cron (boot event) calls vv_cron_rebuild(), the
cleanup runs on every reboot and every schedule save.
run_job.sh was overwriting the log on every cron fire, making it
impossible to see run history. Switch to append mode, print a
── YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ── separator before each run, and trim to
the last 1000 lines after each run to keep logs bounded.
Cron runs with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin, which omits /usr/local/sbin where
tailscale (and other Unraid tools) live. resolve_remote_ip silently got
empty results from both tailscale calls, failing all 3 retry attempts
every scheduled run. Export the full path at source time so all scripts
find tailscale regardless of how they're invoked.
Scripts calling acquire_lock followed by acquire_rsync_lock (rsync.sh)
or a custom EXIT trap (resource_watchdog.sh) would overwrite the lock
release trap, leaving the first lock file behind on exit.
Replace per-acquire trap with a _LOCK_FILES registry. _register_lock()
appends each lock file to the array and sets a single _release_all_locks
trap. All acquired locks release together on exit regardless of how many
traps are subsequently set or overwritten.
resource_watchdog.sh: chain _release_all_locks into both its custom trap
and the state-persisted disarm path so the lock releases in all exit paths.
The first cron run of critical_sync_maintenance failed because Tailscale
had a transient moment at startup. resolve_remote_ip() now retries 3 times
with a 5s delay before giving up, making it resilient to brief daemon
hiccups without masking real peer-offline conditions.
