Live TV and Direct Stream sessions never appear in the transcoding
session list but do write segments to the ramdisk. Card now shows
the active segment count so the ramdisk usage is explained.
PHP reads master.conf values like STATE_DIR="${SCRIPTS_DIR}/State_Files"
literally — the ${SCRIPTS_DIR} token is never expanded, so any PHP code
using the returned STATE_DIR value got an invalid path. Two-pass resolution:
SCRIPTS_DIR first (from PHP constant), then remaining ${VAR} tokens using
the now-resolved var set (covers DATA_DIR-based paths like ARR_SYNC_BLOCKLIST).
All bash scripts are now platform-neutral. Unraid-specific paths, commands,
and service checks moved to Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh. Core scripts call
platform_*() functions exclusively — no direct OS paths in runtime logic.
New adapter functions: platform_storage_path, platform_webui_install_path,
platform_scripts_dir_probe_cmd, platform_setup_db_path, platform_storage_healthy,
platform_is_service_enabled, platform_get_temp_thresholds, platform_disk_states_path,
platform_rebuild_container, platform_push_conf, platform_push_setup_state,
platform_get_templates_dir, platform_send_os_notification.
Partnership services stack (Emby/Jellyfin/Seerr/SeerrFin) added as third
onboarding stack alongside auth and arr stacks.
- Replace python3/PyYAML Authelia ACL parser with pure PHP (no deps available on Unraid)
- Cert tab now pulls live from NPM API instead of cert_monitor.sh — auto-discovers all managed certs sorted by urgency
- Watchdog page: add missing GB constant and _fmtBytes/_relTime functions that were causing silent render failure
- Rsync settings card: pin to far-right 3 columns (grid-column:6/-1), toggle grid narrowed to 2 columns
- Add CLAUDE.md project context file on /boot for session persistence across reboots
- claude_startup.sh: symlink CLAUDE.md into /root on array start
- Auth stack: fold cert monitor into Auth Stack page as fourth tab (Certs);
remove standalone cert page and top-level tab
- cert_monitor.sh: write JSON status cache to State_Files/cert_status.json
after each run; expose per-domain days/expiry via _CERT_DAYS/_CERT_EXPIRY globals
- api/cert.php: new — serves cached cert status; falls back to configured
domains as UNKN when no cache exists; POST action=run triggers live check
- arrs db fallbacks: vv_arr_cleanup_stats/discovery_stats/recovery_stats now
read from data/*.db files when log JSON files don't yet exist
- config.php vv_conf_vars(): unescape bash \$ → $ so passwords with dollar
signs read correctly from conf files
- host1.conf: fill in HOST1_NPM_USER/PASS and HOST1_LLDAP_USER/PASS
- Partnership adapter pattern: Unraid-specific container logic extracted to
Plugin/unraid/Partnership/; platform-agnostic structure stays in Partnership/
- First-run wizard: uniform multi-step flow for all hosts; HOST2 pull moved
to checklist; auto SSH keygen and API key creation on save
- api/checklist.php: live setup checklist with pull_master action
- Fullscreen toggle: hide Unraid header/menu; state persists via localStorage
vv_conf_vars() reads conf as text; TRANSCODE_STATE_FILE=$STATE_DIR/... is
returned as a literal string, not expanded. Build path from STATE_DIR directly.
vv_transcode_sessions() was hardcoded to /tmp/transcode_state.db but master.conf
sets TRANSCODE_STATE_FILE=$STATE_DIR/transcode_state.db which resolves to
/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/State_Files/transcode_state.db. Page always showed
"ramdisk_setup.sh not yet run" despite state file being present and populated.
- ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS: add api_cache_writer.sh so monitor/arrs cache is populated
immediately on array start (/tmp is tmpfs — cleared on reboot, so first-boot
load was hitting live API for up to 60 seconds until the cron fired)
- api/monitor.php + arrs.php: raise cache TTL from 90s to 300s — stale-but-instant
beats a 6-second live API wait if the writer is momentarily behind
- include/unraid_api.php: replace last inline uptime formatter with vv_format_uptime()
Consolidations (config.php gains 5 shared utilities):
- vv_format_uptime() replaces 4 inline uptime-formatting blocks
- vv_parse_conf_scalar() replaces vv_arr_scalar/vv_wd_scalar/vv_fb_scalar/vv_media_conf_scalar
- vv_known_hosts() replaces vv_arr_known_hosts/vv_fb_known_hosts + inline parser in watchdog
- vv_parse_kv_db() replaces inline key=value parsing in snapshot and monitor
- vv_local_ip() replaces duplicate in docker_folders.php and inline in docker.php
All module-level function names kept as thin aliases so call sites unchanged.
Critical bug fixes:
- api/system.php: added require_once config.php and POST-only guard (no auth on shutdown)
- api/movescript.php + reorderarray.php: use vv_write_conf_raw (atomic) + vv_push_master_conf
- api/snapshot.php: share /tmp/vv_cpu_stat.json with vv_cpu_per_core() instead of own state file
Correctness:
- vv_cpu_per_core() and vv_network_stats(): atomic tmp+rename for state files (concurrent poll safety)
- ext_ip curl cache moved from /tmp/vv_ext_ip.cache to vv_cache_read/write (canonical cache dir)
- monitor_remote.php + board.php + snapshot.php: all use vv_cache_read/write instead of ad-hoc /tmp files
HTTP method guards added to write-only APIs that were missing them:
- api/scheduler.php, conf_toggle.php, flag_toggle.php
New span-1 card shows global RSYNC_ENABLED gate, per-window badges (C/D/I/W),
active profile names + elapsed time from lock files, and last-sync timestamp
per orchestrator window from script log files.
GPU shrunk from span 2 to span 1 to make room. Row 3 is now:
Rsync(1) | GPU(1) | Transcode(2) | Streams(4)
disk_io now returns {tr, tw} cumulative GB alongside {r, w} rates.
A centered span in each card h3 shows ↓total ↑total (since last boot),
updating each poll. Helpers updated for the new object format.

Adds vv_disk_io_rates() — snapshots /proc/diskstats each poll and
computes per-device MB/s. Exposed as disk_io in the monitor API.
JS:
- Per-disk rows: ↓read ↑write inline next to disk name (green/amber, hidden when idle)
- Pool rows: aggregate pool I/O next to pool name
- Array header: total array I/O in the subtitle line

Parses the last 'Ramdisk freed' and 'SSD freed' values from the transcode
management log and displays them as small ↓XMB annotations inside each tag.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds height/codec fields to both Emby/Jellyfin and Plex session data,
then surfaces them as chip groups (· 2 4K 3 1080p · 4 H.264 2 HEVC)
in the streams card header alongside the existing device type bar.

partnership_onboard.sh (--phase1-only):
- Test if SSH already works first (BatchMode) — skip ssh-copy-id if yes
- If ssh-copy-id fails (no TTY in background): soft-fail, generate key locally,
print pubkey for manual install, write HOST2_KEY_READY=true, run local setup
- Only skip conf push if SSH truly unavailable; otherwise proceeds normally
- Exit 0 with clear manual-step instructions instead of hard failure
include/partnership.php:
- Read HOST2_KEY_READY from setup.db; expose as key_ready on remote nodes
pages/partnership.php:
- Node card: amber "Key generated · install on HOST2 then Push Conf" badge
when key_ready=true and phase=0
- "Push Conf (key installed)" button appears when key_ready=true — runs
--phase1-only --skip-ssh (assumes user manually did ssh-copy-id)
- vvPtPushConf() top-level function
vv_partner_state() now reads setup.db and adds onboard_phase (0/1/2/null)
to each host entry.
Partner card JS renders a badge under the hostname for remote hosts that
haven't completed Phase 2: amber "Awaiting onboard" (phase 1) or grey
"Not provisioned" (phase 0). Phase 2 complete shows nothing extra.
partnership_manager.sh:
- --local-only flag for --onboard: skips remote pre-flight, WebUI reconfig,
state push; runs FolderView3 folder creation + writes HOST1_LOCAL_DONE=true
to setup.db + pushes it; exits without writing ACTIVE (partnership not yet
established until Phase 2)
partnership_onboard.sh:
- Phase 1 exit now runs partnership_manager.sh --onboard --local-only after
SSH + conf push, so HOST1 is fully configured on its own side before Phase 2
include/partnership.php:
- vv_pt_nodes() reads HOST1_LOCAL_DONE from setup.db; exposes as local_done
on the self node (null for remote nodes)
pages/partnership.php:
- Self node card shows green "Local setup complete · waiting for partner"
badge when local_done=true
- Actions: "Complete HOST1 Setup" button appears when HOST1 hasn't run local
setup yet but HOST2 is already at phase 1 — lets user trigger it manually
- vvPtLocalSetup() top-level function calls partnership_manager.sh via run.php
include/monitor.php: vv_fallback_state() now returns:
enabled, check_interval, handback_strikes, handback_strikes_required,
partnership_suspended, partner_lost_at, partnership_required,
partnership_suspend_after — all read from state file + conf vars.
pages/monitor.php: fallback card render rebuilt:
Disabled: clear message with how to enable
Suspended: partnership inactive with elapsed time
FAILOVER: outage duration + T1/T2/T3/T4 tier badges (active=green,
pending=dark) + handback strike progress dots (●●○) when remote
comes back and strikes are counting
NO_INTERNET/DARK: short contextual line
NORMAL: quiet "monitoring · 30s · partnership gated" meta line
Accent border: disabled/suspended → warn, NORMAL → ok, FAILOVER → err
unraid_api.php: track key_missing separately from general fallbacks.
vv_api_data() sets key_missing=true when HOST*_UNRAID_API_KEY is empty.
vv_api_get_status() includes key_missing in the status payload.
monitor.php: two distinct banner states instead of one orange warning.
key_missing → subtle dark/grey note: "API key not configured — add
HOST1_UNRAID_API_KEY in Scheduler → host conf to enable enhanced monitoring"
key present but unreachable → existing orange ⚠ with fallback list.
No banner at all when API is working correctly.
Fix 1 — Monitor partner card (common.php + monitor.php):
vv_remote_hosts_stats() no longer skips hosts with no API key.
Returns no_api_key:true entry instead. Monitor JS renders
"API key not configured — complete Onboard to enable" instead
of a blank space.
Fix 2 — rawconf push not alarming pre-onboard (config.php + scheduler.php):
Probe failures (Tailscale not found, plugin not installed) now carry
ready:false. JS treats ready:false results silently — button shows
"✓ Saved" not "push failed: HOST2" before SSH is set up.
Only genuine post-onboard failures (ready not false) show as errors.
Fix 3 — Partnership Onboard button (partnership.php):
Disabled with tooltip when no partner hostname is in master.conf.
When partner configured but not onboarded, adds explanation note:
"Onboard will generate your SSH key, exchange it with the partner..."
No partner configured: "Edit master.conf and set HOST2."
Varaverk.page: also shows wizard when local host.conf is missing
(handles master.conf pushed by HOST1 before HOST2 installs plugin).
pages/setup.php: three wizard flows
- Standard: blank master.conf, fill hostnames, redirect to scheduler
- Host2/state file: state file detected, pull master.conf from HOST1 via SSH
- Conf-only: master.conf already filled (was pushed), just create local host.conf
api/setup.php:
- save action: writes master.conf + host.conf, creates varaverk_setup.db state file,
redirects to ?tab=scheduler&vv_setup=master.conf
- pull action: resolves HOST1 Tailscale IP, queries HOST1 SCRIPTS_DIR, SCPs
master.conf, creates local host.conf, redirects to ?tab=scheduler&vv_setup=hostN.conf
include/config.php: vv_setup_state_read/write/push helpers.
vv_push_setup_state() pushes varaverk_setup.db to /boot/config/ on all known
remotes — no plugin-readiness probe needed (flash is always accessible).
api/rawconf.php: calls vv_push_setup_state() alongside master.conf push.
pages/scheduler.php: setup mode via ?vv_setup=<conf> URL param.
Auto-opens the specified conf file on page load (DOMContentLoaded).
vvSaveRawConf: in setup mode, skips confirm dialog and forces sequence:
master.conf save → auto-open hostN.conf
hostN.conf save → redirect to Monitor (setup complete)
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/.
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
