`unraid-api apikey` costs 1.98s and ran once per render just to answer whether
a key exists. Cached for a minute — still read from the key store, so a
deletion still shows, a minute later rather than instantly. Partner probes are
multiplexed at the same time.
The old card totalled rsync's own logs, so it reported 'no data moved' across a link that had carried hundreds of gigabytes over SSH, the arr APIs, conf pushes and the Unraid API.
master.conf says unRAID-Jayred36 and the tailnet device is unraid-jayred365, so the exact-key lookup found nothing and every remote card rendered with no IP, no online state and no containers.
Windows with runs but no bytes say 'no data moved' rather than 0.00 GB, and rows before the byte-parser fix are excluded rather than summed into a false total.
The guard tested Tier 1 only, so onboard Step 1d's posture — Tier 1 open, every Tier 2 closed — made a healthy partner climb toward auto-offboard every 30 minutes. The counter holds intervals, not days, and was rendered raw.
HOST<n>_PHASE*_DONE only ever describe the mirror, so on the mirror the owner's card computed phase 0 and offered to onboard the host that had just onboarded it.
Onboard now ends at Phase 2: connected, running, and saying so. Phase 3 sets the seeding gate posture and dispatches the seed. With MEDIA_SEED_ENABLED false there is no Phase 3 and the model is two phases.
A first seed is ~28 TB behind a 12.5 MB/s bwlimit, and it ran inline as Step 9d, so the
phase-2 flag every status reader depends on was written only after it finished.
All 16 include/ files now carry PURPOSE / DESIGN PRINCIPLES / OPERATIONAL
SAFEGUARDS / EXPORTS / CONFIGURATION, keeping the first three section names
identical to the bash headers so retrieval can route across both languages.
monitor.php read six watchdog state files from /tmp while the watchdogs write
to STATE_DIR, so every strike set came back empty and the summary reported
healthy unconditionally. docs.php gained path containment before it is wired
to a page.
All state/data file paths in scripts and PHP now resolve via STATE_DIR / DATA_DIR /
PERSISTENT_CONF_CACHE instead of hardcoded /boot/config/ or /tmp/ paths, so the
ecosystem works in both internal and appdata storage modes.
PHP layer (watchdog.php, partnership.php, fallback.php, monitor.php, snapshot.php,
config.php): all state reads switched to STATE_DIR constant; remote state reads use
the new vv_remote_state_cmd() helper which resolves the remote's SCRIPTS_DIR via
their varaverk.cfg before building the path.
conf_sync.sh: fixed SCRIPTS_ROOT → SCRIPTS_DIR bug on MY_CONF path; added
_remote_scripts_dir() to resolve partner's SCRIPTS_DIR before SCP pull.
fallback.php page: added controls card (PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED, FALLBACK_ENABLED,
FALLBACK_RSYNC_ENABLED toggles), status grid, and settings card.
README and Manual updated for System_Essentials, Watchdogs, Fallback, Rsync,
Media, Monitors, Orchestrators, Partnership: added new scripts (conf_sync,
conf_cache_save/restore, conf_cache_watchdog, play_state_sync, start_webhook_listener,
upgrade_webhook_handler), corrected all stale /boot/config/ state file paths to
$STATE_DIR/$DATA_DIR, noted webgui/php_fpm/mover/user_scripts scripts moved to
Plugin/unraid/System_Essentials, fixed start_webhook_listener.sh header (Node.js,
not PHP -S).
- Move SCRIPTS_DIR/DATA_DIR/STATE_DIR from appdata to /boot/config/plugins/varaverk
- All state files now in STATE_DIR (no more /tmp or /boot/config root writes)
- Bootstrap: Gitea-first clone with GitHub fallback, no array dependency
- varaverk.cfg seeded with Gitea connection settings
- .gitignore: add State_Files/, varaverk.cfg, varaverk-*.txz
- Partnership/transcode/fallback scripts use STATE_DIR variables
- PHP config.php: DATA_DIR/STATE_DIR constants, VV_SETUP_STATE_FILE dynamic
- deploy.sh PROD_ROOT updated to plugin flash dir

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
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
