[main 819f5e6] Remove old images by ID after container updates, not just dangling prune
 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
Shell cwd was reset to /root


Done. The 23 orphans are gone now, and from tomorrow's update run onwards old images will be cleaned up immediately after each container rebuild rather than lingering.


so dailyand weekly ran im still gaining orphaned images.... i feel like one of the mid week writes are gone... i had it so it would accually stop and rebuild the containers like the apply update button on the docker page would do.....  it ran but nothing updated half my containers still need updating, so once we fix this i wont know untill tomarrow if it accually worked


Let me check the git log on `docker_update.sh` — sounds like a recent commit may have broken the rebuild logic:

The rebuild logic is fine — the problem is upstream. When images get pulled externally (Unraid UI), `:latest` already points to the new image. When docker_update.sh runs next, `OLD_ID == NEW_ID` (both are the new image), so it reports "0 updated" and never rebuilds — but the containers are still running on the old image ID.

The fix: also check whether the container's running image matches `:latest`. Let me see the full pull loop:

261	SKIPPED=()

OLD_ID vs NEW_ID only caught updates landed during this run. If an image
was pulled externally (Unraid UI), the container stayed on the old image
while :latest moved on — this run saw nothing to do. Now also compare
the container's current image ID against :latest and rebuild if behind."

Commit the container-behind detection fix


[main 30e7c2f] Detect containers running behind already-pulled images
 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
Shell cwd was reset to /root


The root cause: when images get pulled outside of varaverk (Unraid WebUI updates), the `:latest` tag moves to the new image. Next time docker_update.sh runs it sees `OLD_ID == NEW_ID` (both already point to the new image), reports "0 updated", and never rebuilds anything. The containers keep running on the orphaned old image indefinitely.

The fix compares what image the **container** is actually running on against what `:latest` is now. If they don't match — whether from a fresh pull or a stale one — it rebuilds. Tomorrow's daily run should pick up all the containers that are currently behind and actually apply them.


Fixed three docker update bugs today. Tomorrow's daily run will apply all pending container updates and clean up orphaned images automatically — no action needed. (disable recaps in /config)

The file /boot/config/plugins/varaverk/CLAUDE.md has been updated successfully. (file state is current in your context — no need to Read it back)

# Varaverk — Claude Code Context

## Working Rules (read first)

- **Workspace is always** `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk` — every edit goes here.
- **Never touch** `/mnt/user/Important Shit/Git/Development/Varaverk` — stale dev folder, ignore it.
- **No Co-Authored-By** in commit messages unless explicitly asked.
- **No comments** unless the WHY is genuinely non-obvious.
- The `.plg` symlinks the installed plugin location directly to this workspace — one copy, no drift.

---

## Project: What Varaverk Is

Self-healing, self-maintaining, mutually-redundant two-server Unraid home media ecosystem.
One codebase runs on both servers. No primary/standby — both run independently and cover each other.

**HOST1 — unRAID-Gmer4Lfe** (`gmer4lfe@gmail.com`)
- Hardware: Threadripper 1950X, 128 GB RAM, ZFS cache pools
- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.com
- Runs: full arr stack (Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr), auth stack (source of truth), Emby primary

**HOST2 — unRAID-Jayred365**
- Hardware: Intel i5 10th gen, 64 GB RAM
- Domain: Gmer4Lfe.us
- Status: being rebuilt — most host2.conf sections scaffolded, not yet fully online

Networking between hosts: Tailscale mesh. No hardcoded IPs — hostnames resolve via Tailscale.

---

## Configuration System (three-file model)

Every script sources all three at startup:

```
master.conf   ← shared: thresholds, toggles, profiles, orchestrator job lists
host1.conf    ← HOST1 credentials, shares, container names, keys
host2.conf    ← HOST2 credentials, shares, container names, keys
```

Sparse checkout (git) means each server only pulls its own `host*.conf`.
HOST1 never sees HOST2 credentials and vice versa.

**Rule:** thresholds/toggles → `master.conf`; credentials/paths/container names → `host*.conf`.

`detect_hosts()` in `common.sh` matches `$(hostname)` against `HOST1`/`HOST2` in `master.conf`
and sets `MY_ID` / `REMOTE_ID` for the rest of the script.

---

## Platform Adapter Layer

`Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh` isolates all OS-specific calls.
Scripts never branch on OS directly — always call adapter functions.
This is intentional architecture — don't bypass it.

---

## Key Paths

| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `master.conf` | Shared config — all thresholds, toggles, profiles |
| `host1.conf` / `host2.conf` | Per-host credentials, shares, container lists |
| `common.sh` | Shared functions — `detect_hosts()`, `log()`, `notify()`, etc. |
| `load_config.sh` | Sources all three conf files + common.sh |
| `State_Files/` | Runtime state (watchdogs, fallback, transcode) — survives reboots |
| `data/` | Historical logs and stats |
| `Plugin/unraid/` | Unraid WebGUI plugin (PHP pages, API endpoints, adapter) |
| `Orchestrators/` | Top-level schedulers (array_started, daily, weekly, watchdog) |
| `Watchdogs/` | docker_watchdog, system_watchdog, resource_watchdog, stability |
| `Fallback/` | Mutual container failover logic |
| `Rsync/` | rsync.sh + profile system |
| `Media/` | Arr cleanup, discovery, permissions, play state sync |
| `Tools/` | Manual one-off tools including `claude_startup.sh` |

---

## Orchestrator Schedule

| When | What |
|------|------|
| Array start | `Orchestrators/array_started.sh` → runs `ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS` |
| Every minute | `watchdog_orchestrator.sh` → resource → docker → system → stability watchdogs |
| Every 30 min | `critical_sync_maintenance.sh` → downloaders_reset, play_state_sync, critical rsync |
| Every 4 hours | `intermediate_sync_maintenance.sh` → arr_sync, arrs_failed_stalled_recovery |
| Daily 1am | `daily_sync_maintenance.sh` → git pull, permissions, cleaners, arr cleanup, docker updates |
| Sunday 2:30am | `weekly_sync_maintenance.sh` → full Emby + Critical-Data sync, weekly restarts |
| Sunday 3am+ | `monthly_maintenance.sh` (self-gated on 30-day uptime) → ZFS scrub, SMART tests |
| Sunday 7am | `sunday_morning_coffee_report.sh` → ZFS, SMART, certs, backup verify, bandwidth, Emby report |

FALLBACK_RSYNC_ENABLED=true
```

---

## Fallback System

`fallback.sh` runs continuously from array start.
States: `NORMAL | FALLBACK | NO_INTERNET | DARK`

DDNS rules are absolute:
- Internet loss → stop own DDNS immediately
- Failover → start remote's DDNS as Tier 1 first
- Handback → stop remote DDNS → rsync → start containers → start local DDNS last

Tier delays before activating higher tiers are in `host*.conf` (`HOST1_TIER*_DELAY`, `HOST2_TIER*_DELAY`).

---

## Port Notes

- **NPM admin API (`HOST1_NPM_URL`)** — port **7818**. Port 81 is the partnership WebUI port (`HOST1_PARTNERSHIP_AUTH_WEBUIS`), not the API. Easy to confuse.
- **HOST1_NETWORK_WATCHDOG_NPM_URL** — external HTTPS domain, completely separate from the admin API.

## Known Gaps / Active Work

- HOST2 NPM/lldap credentials (`HOST2_NPM_USER`, `HOST2_NPM_PASS`, `HOST2_LLDAP_PASS`) are empty in `host2.conf` — fill in when HOST2 is back online.
- `PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED=false` — not yet active.
- `FALLBACK_ENABLED=true` — fallback is running.
- `DAILY_RSYNC_ENABLED=false` — paused during HOST2 rebuild.

## Claude Code Persistence on Unraid

`/root` is a RAM filesystem — wiped on every reboot.
`Tools/claude_startup.sh` runs at array start (via `ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS`) and:
- Symlinks `/root/.claude` → `/mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/.claude`
- Symlinks `/root/.local/share/claude` → `/mnt/user/appdata/claude-code/local/share/claude`
- Symlinks `/root/CLAUDE.md` → `/boot/config/plugins/varaverk/CLAUDE.md` (this file)

This file lives on `/boot` (USB flash) and is always available regardless of array state.

Commit CLAUDE.md rsync state update


[main ca0d17e] All rsync flags re-enabled — HOST2 rebuild complete
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-)


Done. `master.conf` comments cleaned up, CLAUDE.md updated, stale "paused during rebuild" note removed. Tomorrow's daily run will be the first with full sync re-enabled — and also the first real test of the container-behind detection fix.


i had full sync enabled but that lock messed it up. lol


Ha, right — the flag was already `true`, CLAUDE.md just hadn't been updated to reflect it. The 14 failures were all from that stuck lock blocking every profile. The docs were stale, not the config. Commit message is a bit misleading but the end state is correct.


Fixed several maintenance issues today. Tomorrow's daily run will be the first real test of the container update fix — watch if half-stale containers get rebuilt and orphan images stop accumulating. (disable recaps in /config)
