Unraid truncates the Server Name to 15 chars. Depending on which form
ends up in master.conf's HOST* value (the truncated OS hostname, or a
longer name matching what Tailscale independently registered for that
peer), either host-identity detection or Tailscale IP resolution could
fail — hit live on HOST2 in both directions this session.
- common.sh detect_hosts(): was case-sensitive exact match only, with no
fallback and an exit 1 on failure — meaning every orchestrator/watchdog/
rsync script would hard-fail on a truncated-hostname host, not just the
web UI. Now case-insensitive, with a prefix-match fallback when the
local hostname is exactly 15 chars.
- common.sh resolve_tailscale_ip(): already did a bare regex prefix match
with zero ambiguity handling (pre-existing risk: e.g. server1/server10
could collide). Replaced with an explicit unambiguous-only check.
- config.php vv_detect_host() / vv_resolve_tailscale_ip(): same treatment,
kept as close a mirror of the bash logic as PHP allows.
All fallbacks require an EXACT prefix match (never fuzzy/percentage
similarity — considered and rejected, since names like server1/server2/
server3 would be dangerously similar under any generic similarity metric)
and require exactly one candidate to qualify; ambiguous matches are
treated as no match rather than guessed. Verified live against HOST1/
HOST2 in both master.conf configurations (short and long HOST2 value).
