A fresh install reproduced the single lump folder because Step 12 only ever called fallback_folder.php; it now mirrors the owner's layout first and hands the fallback folder just what is left.
Deploying first meant Authelia, Lldap, NPM and both databases initialised themselves against empty directories. The gate arming moves to Step 1d for the same reason: the provisioning sync is an rsync, and Tier 1 stops every rsync. Tier 2 now ends the onboard off rather than as-found.
The operator already runs it, so this is the one provider that costs nothing to adopt: no key,
no card, no third party, and no new container. It aggregates several engines and returns them
merged, and its /api/search reply is already the shape everything downstream expects — title,
url, snippet, with content as a fallback for the roughly one result in six that has no snippet.
It is also now the only provider whose response has been read from a live service rather than
from documentation, which is why it is the default.
Search is the one capability that fits the profile holding none: every other capability either
reads this installation or changes it, and chat's whole contract is that it can do neither. The
assistant deliberately does not get it — its contract is that answers come from this install's
own documents, and a web result there is an answer that looks sourced and is not. A chat question
about this machine hands off to the assistant before the search would run, so it never reaches
the internet even with the box ticked.
Off by default, and not because it is dangerous: searching sends the operator's question outside
the house, which is theirs to decide. Asked for per turn as well as enabled in conf.
Provider-agnostic, as asked — searxng, brave, tavily. Only whichever is configured here can be
verified; all three read every field by name, so a shape that changes underneath yields no
results rather than wrong ones.
The explain fixtures asserted chat holds no capabilities at all, which is exactly the guarantee
worth keeping. caps=only: now states the set rather than its emptiness, so the check still fails
the day something else is granted there.
Merging the raw host.conf.template against a live host conf matched HOSTN_
against HOST1_, classified all 140 real keys as deprecated and would have
removed every credential on the host. Also points the Ollama model default
at a tag that still exists.
ai_index.sh and ai_query.sh follow the usual conventions — fail-closed gate,
root check, lock, dry-run, status — with Node doing only the vector maths and
SQLite blobs, the same split api_cache_writer.sh uses for PHP.
AI_* and HOST*_OLLAMA_* land in both confs and both templates in this pass.
Everything ships off: AI_ENABLED false, every AI_ASSIST_* false, conf writes
disabled with an empty whitelist. Nothing in the ecosystem consults it.
The Authelia config default pointed at /mnt/user/appdata/Authelia, which does
not exist — the auth stack lives in the Critical-Data share so it gets synced.
Because conf_populate only fills empty fields, that wrong non-empty default
blocked auto-detection permanently and left the auth page's rules panel dead.
Also corrects three schedule comments that no longer matched varaverk.cron and
two references to scripts that have since been renamed or split.
Healarr does the same job but crashes on a Go concurrency bug (unsynchronized
map access) whenever multiple corruption events land close together — confirmed
via its own crash log, not fixable from our side. Processing one file at a time
here sidesteps the whole bug class instead of trying to work around it.
Delete + explicit EpisodeSearch rather than relying on Sonarr's own background
missing-search cycle, since that skips unmonitored episodes and this shouldn't.
Acts on forward misplacements and reverse-kids-leak (adult content in
the kids root — not a judgment call, same reasoning as the Radarr
side), moving to the new SONARR_GENERAL_ROOT config var. Reverse-anime
-leak stays report-only — deliberate style placements like Castlevania
are common and valid there. episodeFileCount is Sonarr's hasFile
equivalent: series with 0 files get relocated + an immediate
SeriesSearch instead of a file move. One series at a time, verified
after each — matches the race condition found doing this by hand for
the Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night moves earlier in the session.
Unlike reverse-anime-leak (deliberate style placements like Castlevania
are common and valid there), reverse-kids-leak's signal is specifically
"adult certification with zero Family/Animation genre" — confirmed live
the 4 titles it catches (Addams Family, Saving Mr. Banks, Dark Shadows,
The DUFF) are all genuinely non-kids content. Moves them to the new
RADARR_GENERAL_ROOT config var (container-path literal for the general
Movies root, needed since RADARR_MOVIES_ROOT is a filesystem path).
Overseerr lets users request content into the wrong root folder; these
new report-only scans classify every tracked movie/series (anime, kids,
regular) from metadata alone and flag mismatches against the actual
root folder, in both directions. Rules were validated against real
library data before being adopted — see the header comments in each
script and the master.conf notes above the curated lists.
Both had a basic HTTP check (Emby) or no coverage at all (Jellyfin), but
neither would have caught today's real incident: Jellyfin's SQLite
database locked up hard (repeated 'database table is locked' errors,
30s+ query timeouts) while its own /System/Info endpoint kept responding
200 the whole time — a basic HTTP check on that endpoint would never have
tripped. /Users forces an actual DB round-trip and was confirmed live to
hang during the exact incident.
Generalized the API check's success condition to also accept array-shaped
responses (/Users returns an array; the existing check only recognized
object fields like .ServerName/.Id/.Version, which would error when
applied to an array) — benefits any future array-returning endpoint, not
just this one. Also corrected the host.conf.template's API_CHECKS format
comment, which described a 3-field format the code never actually used.
TRANSCODE_LOG_RETENTION was documented as trimming the daily transcode log
but never referenced — log grew unbounded. TRANSCODE_ORPHAN_AGE was shown in
--status but never used, so empty session folders were deleted immediately
instead of after the documented grace period, risking a race against ffmpeg
creating a folder just before writing its first segment.
docker_watchdog.sh's daemon-health thresholds were only hardcoded fallbacks
despite comments claiming they were master.conf-configurable, and it
referenced a heartbeat feature that was never implemented (that's owned by
watchdog_orchestrator.sh, its caller) — added the three thresholds to
master.conf for real and removed the stale heartbeat claim.
Also added the missing HOSTN_PARTNERSHIP_SERVICES_STACK block to
host.conf.template (containers.sh already read it via detect_hosts, just
never had a template entry) and corrected play_state_sync.sh's doc comment
for PLAY_SYNC_TYPES' actual default.
Previously HOST1 defined what it would run for HOST2 (FALLBACK_HOST1_COVERS_HOST2_TIER*).
Now each host defines what it wants run when IT goes down (FALLBACK_HOST1_TIER*), and the
covering server reads the down host's conf via the RAM/persistent cache.
get_tier_containers() reads FALLBACK_${REMOTE_ID}_TIER* instead of
FALLBACK_${MY_ID}_COVERS_${REMOTE_ID}_TIER*. Tier data migrated to the correct host confs.
Writeback paths and delays were already REMOTE_ID-based — no change needed there.
Web files now served via symlink to the git repo so git pull changes survive
reboots without rebuilding the txz. Also includes: docker pull/rebuild/restart
with live log streaming, arr_profile_enforcer for Sonarr/Radarr quality
profiles, monitor page cache fix (background writer now in cron), and
ARR_KIDS/SONARR/RADARR profile name vars in master.conf.
