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
- 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.
Add api/status.php — reads all scheduled jobs' stat files and returns a
{id: status} map. The scheduler page polls it every 3s and lights up the
dot on any job whose stat shows status=running, clearing it when done.
Replace single vvRunningId with vvRunningSet (Set) so multiple jobs can
show as running simultaneously. vvSetDot/vvClearDot handle per-job dots
and the header dot for the active job. Remove stale-count detection from
vvFetchRight — status poll is now the single source of truth.
Create varaverk.plg on flash (/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/varaverk.plg).
On boot, rebuild_cron copies it to /var/log/plugins/ so update_cron natively
picks up varaverk.cron and merges it into /etc/cron.d/root.
With the .plg in place the dev-mode direct-inject fallback in vv_cron_rebuild()
is no longer needed and has been removed.
dcron uses the filename in /etc/cron.d/ as the username, so a file named
'varaverk' ran jobs as a non-existent user and was silently ignored.
Switch to writing /boot/config/plugins/varaverk/varaverk.cron and calling
update_cron (which merges all plugin .cron files into /etc/cron.d/root).
In dev mode (no varaverk.plg registered), fall back to injecting our entries
directly into the live root crontab via crontab -c /etc/cron.d -.
run_job.sh: new wrapper called by scheduler cron for every job.
Writes /var/log/varaverk/<id>.json (status/start/end/exit/pid)
and /var/log/varaverk/<id>.log (latest run output, overwritten).
Maps exit 0→ok, 1→warn, 2+→error so watchdog "took action" runs
show warn not error.
scheduler: cron now calls bash run_job.sh instead of inline bash -c.
Added vv_job_stat_path(). LOG_DIR moved to config.php (shared).
monitor: vv_scripts_status() now reads /var/log/varaverk/*.json and
*/*.json — no User Scripts tmpScripts dependency at all.
Stale running detection via /proc/<pid> check.
Returns error_count in addition to running/ok/warn counts.
pages/monitor.php: added error pill (red ✗), error icon/color in
list, duration shown next to age for each script entry.
Layout:
- Switch from three flex rows to single CSS grid (repeat(8,1fr)) — eliminates
gap-count discrepancy between rows; span 1/2/4/8 cards are now pixel-identical
across all rows regardless of how many cards share the row
New cards:
- Scripts card: last-run status (ok/warn/running/unknown), clickable filter pills,
7-row scroll, flex:1 matching Power/Parity
- Streams card: live per-second progress counters, color-coded play buttons
(blue=live, orange=transcoding, green=direct, yellow=paused), server badges
with counts, left-fill column layout (3 per col)
- Transcode card: NVMe indicator, active session count + scrollable list,
session rows with server icon + title + type + method
Dynamic thresholds:
- vv_disk_thresholds() reads /boot/config/plugins/dynamix/dynamix.cfg
- Disk utilization bars: green/orange/red based on warning/critical settings
- Temperature colors: hot/max for HDD, hotssd/maxssd for SSD/NVMe
- Thresholds update every poll cycle; changing Unraid settings takes effect automatically
Other:
- SSD path detection uses findmnt FSTYPE to exclude tmpfs/ramfs (fixes RAM
being reported as SSD transcode target)
- varaverk.css h3: add white-space:normal + overflow:hidden to neutralise
any Unraid global h3 styles that could force card width
- CPU/GPU cards: flex-column so body div takes remaining height
- CPU canvas: flex:1 + min-height:36px instead of fixed 36px
- GPU: add vvGpuHistory + canvas (purple, same style as CPU); canvas flex:1
stretches to fill whatever space the row's tallest card leaves over
- External IP: switch from DDNS domain lookup to curl ifconfig.me with 5-min
cache; DDNS approach broke because host detection uses HOST1_NAME but conf
has HOST1, so domain was never resolved
- Tailscale IP: switch from hardcoded tailscale0 iface to `tailscale ip -4`;
interface name varies (tailscale0, tailscale1) across kernels/installs
media.php: Emby/Jellyfin/Plex session poller for Streams card
confform.php: conf file form helpers for Config tab
script.php: per-script run/log API endpoint for Scheduler tab
