ComfyUI's page described a compose service and a systemd unit that shelled out
to `podman compose up`. It now documents the Quadlet, the keep-groups + udev
mechanism (verified inside the running container: torch sees Radeon 8060S), the
9,146-restart incident that forced the move, and the trap that caused it — a
stale container outlives the compose edit that should have replaced it.
The observability page gains the audit result: four jobs read "down" and three
of them always will, because they scrape HTML pages or a /metrics that does not
exist. The page names each error, says plainly that none is an outage, and
refuses the tempting fix (deleting the job makes an absent scrape look like a
healthy one) in favour of the remedy it already recommended: a blackbox exporter
in probe mode, and Gitea's metrics enabled or the job repointed.
New runbook page serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-rocmfpx.md records
the hardware swap, the self-contained gfx1201 build, the measured layer-vs-
tensor decision (llama-bench multi-device syntax gotcha included), the
tensor-mode draft abort, served-path numbers, and the post-cleanup host ROCm
posture. AGENTS.md, README, docs indexes, Dankserver System Specs,
deployment/Hermes/OpenWebUI/Plex/Stack pages follow the rename;
freetoken-frank-small is marked RETIRED and kingjones-q8agent SUPERSEDED.
Work log entry added.
Raised /swap.img from 8 GiB to 64 GiB on Dankclaw. Host-level state with no
repo file, so it was invisible to the repo until now: fstab line 12 drives the
generated swap.img.swap unit, ext4, fallocated hole-free, swappiness 60,
zswap off. 748 GiB still free on /.
The reusable part is the ordering. The old file held 4 GiB of live pages and
MemAvailable read 73 GiB while only ~5 GiB was genuinely free -- the pinned
model weights are counted as reclaimable page cache, so the headline lies by
the size of the model. Swapping off before the replacement is online would have
pushed those pages into RAM that does not exist. Creating and enabling the new
swap first let them migrate instead: swapoff took 65 s and the host never
wobbled.
New page serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Swap Configuration.md, linked from
the index, plus a pointer in the AGENTS.md memory-model section so nobody
reasons about headroom without checking swapon.
Old 8 GiB file staged at dankclaw:~/.AGENTTRASH/20260912-swapfile-8g/
pending approval to purge.
Deployed live at 91e9410 (gluetun+marreta+caddy), authentik provider pk 13,
guard chain verified end-to-end. Documented that Laravel APP_KEY must carry the
base64: prefix — a bare base64 key 500s every app route with 'Unsupported
cipher or incorrect key length' while /up still passes.
Mechanical identity rename across the knowledge base, AGENTS.md, README, the
hermes config example, and homepage services.json. No behavior change; served
aliases on the LLM endpoints change with the deploy of commit 69f87c8.
Post-change doc reconciliation for the hermes vhosts + DNS deletion batch:
- Hermes-Dashboard.md: access is now the hermesadmin.franksdank.cloud vhost
(direct Caddy proxy to 192.168.0.143:9119, no guard chain — exempt because the
dashboard enforces its own basic-auth login), plus the raw LAN port. The old
text claimed an Authentik-guarded public vhost, which was decommissioned.
- Hermes-WebUI.md: description updated — the webui is now also reachable via the
unguarded hermes.franksdank.cloud vhost (its own password auth is the gate).
- LAN-DNS.md: "add a name in two places" corrected to a two-or-three-step
decision; internal-only names (prometheus/loki/grafana/seerr) deliberately get
no public A record and resolve on the LAN only, and DNS-01 issuance is
unaffected because the challenge is a TXT record in the same zone.
- Seerr.md: DNS row corrected — addn-hosts only since 2026-09-02; NXDOMAIN on WAN.
- hermes-dashboard.container: unit comment no longer claims Authentik termination.
No behavior change in this commit; tests 233/233 green (docs-completeness seam included).
New page Architecture/Container Network Namespaces.md: which local services are
addressable from which Podman network namespace on Dankclaw (rootless podman +
netavark). Verified live 2026-09-02: gateway/webui/CDP run in the host netns and
dial loopback; hermes-dashboard is the only Hermes container on a bridge network
(dankclaw_default, 10.89.1.0/24 gw 10.89.1.1) and can dial published ports only —
unpublished host-netns listeners (signal-cli :8080, webui :8787) are refused from
that namespace even though both bind 0.0.0.0.
Corrected while verifying the above:
- Hermes.md: data root is /home/dank/Containers/hermes/data (not the retired
/home/dank/hermes-data); gateway dials the Signal daemon on loopback; the
daemon itself is a host user unit (signal-cli-daemon.service) bound to
0.0.0.0:8080, so the Signal HTTP API is LAN-reachable.
- Hermes-Dashboard.md: it is a Quadlet unit (Network=dankclaw_default), not a
compose service; data root + /opt/data anonymous volume corrected.
- Hermes-WebUI.md: binds 0.0.0.0:8787 in the host netns (verified: unauthenticated
GET /health from another LAN machine returned 200) — the SSH tunnel is an access
path, not a containment boundary; HealthCmd and data-path corrections.
- Network Architecture.md: no hermes vhost exists in either the tracked or the live
Caddyfile (hermes.franksdank.cloud resolves but routes nowhere); SearXNG exits the
tunnel via the shared named network searxng.network, not service:gluetun.
Docs only — deploy is a no-op for this change.
The loki/grafana/seerr proxy providers were script-provisioned with no
flows and no Application: null flows made the embedded outpost's Rust
deserializer reject the whole config (all guarded vhosts down after any
outpost reload), and the missing apps bounced post-login to authentik's
user UI instead of the app. Backfilled both live; documented the two
provisioning rules and updated the provider inventory. SSO e2e now
asserts the app landing (pathname leaves /if/, no IdP markers in body)
instead of only the hostname.
Adds a digest-pinned headless-shell Chrome DevTools Protocol daemon as a
boot-persistent quadlet unit (chrome-devtools-protocol.container). The
entrypoint override drops the image's socat front so the CDP endpoint binds
loopback-only on 127.0.0.1:9222 in the host network namespace; only the two
host-network consumers (Signal gateway, webui server) can drive it.
hermes-webui flips Network=dankclaw_default -> Network=host so its agent
process shares the daemon's namespace (0.0.0.0:8787 bind is LAN-facing as
before; no exposure change). deploy_hermes installs the new unit and starts
it if inactive without restarting in-flight browser sessions.
Verified live 2026-08-31: guarded path serves the Anubis JS challenge at
HTTP 200 to non-browser API clients (status-only consumers silently get
HTML); direct published port 8081 from pass_ip sources returns real JSON.
Decision: no second agent-only instance — same engines and same
rate-sensitive VPN exit IP would see double request volume for zero gain.
Server-side implementation landed on Dankclaw: dedicated 'tunnel' account
(nologin shell, password-locked, key-only auth), sshd drop-in
99-tunnel.conf scoping AllowTcpForwarding to that user with PermitTTY off,
and permitopen="localhost:8787" key-option guidance so a leaked tunnel key
can only forward to the webui port. WebUI stays loopback-only published.
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.
