frank-default-large -> frank-large (Dankclaw :7770), frank-default-small ->
frank-small (Dankserver :7770), frank-default-sightsound -> frank-npu
(Dankclaw :7771). Units, env files, serve scripts, deploy-plan mappings,
deploy-remote dispatch (stop/disable old units + relink + enable new), and the
test seams move together. Retired frank-default-npu.* artifacts moved to
scripts/.AGENTTRASH/ (tracked-in-history; ignored on disk).
Served aliases become frank-large / frank-small via --alias; the NPU endpoint
serves the whole FLM registry, so its rename changes no served tags.
Operator request (2026-08-22): the primary inference server
(frank-default-large, the 27B CIRU model on Dankclaw) moves to the
standard llama.cpp port 7770. Both LLM services now listen on :7770,
distinguished by host (dankserver vs dankclaw).
Functional changes:
- scripts/frank-default-large.env: LISTEN_PORT 52625 -> 7770
- scripts/serve-frank-large.sh: default LISTEN_PORT 52625 -> 7770
- scripts/deploy.sh: LLM_HEALTH[dankclaw] -> :7770
- open-webui quadlet: OPENAI_API_BASE_URL -> 192.168.0.143:7770
(re-pointed so chat keeps working; data dir preserved)
- scripts/bench-fast-greedy.sh: PORT 52625 -> 7770
Tests updated to the new topology (both LLM endpoints on :7770 by host;
open-webui -> :7770). Docs + pi KB updated; dated historical runbooks
keep their point-in-time ports. models.json (pi client) re-pointed to
:7770 separately, effective on the next client restart.
The bridge gateway (10.89.3.1) lives in the rootless netns; llama-server
runs in the host netns, so the gateway refuses. 192.168.0.143:52625
reaches it through the rootless NAT (verified from the container).
Same LAN-IP pattern the doc already prescribes for the Dankserver
backend.
basicauth (2026-08-22 incident):
- the Caddyfile template carried its own $2a$14$ prefix and deploy.sh
substituted the full hash (prefix included), rendering an invalid
double-prefixed hash. Every basicauth vhost rejected every password
with 401 and Caddy logged nothing.
- template is now a bare REPLACE_WITH_HASH token; tests pin the render
contract (no prefix in template; rendered line is exactly 'dank <hash>').
open-webui (2026-08-22 incident):
- its slirp4netns helper process died, leaving the container running
with only 'lo' in its netns: port 3005 accepted TCP and reset every
request, so chat served empty responses for ~2 days, unlogged.
- move to a pinned bridge network (systemd-open-webui, 10.89.3.0/24,
gw 10.89.3.1) — no per-container helper to die.
- LLM endpoint reached via the gateway (host.containers.internal is
slirp-only): OPENAI_API_BASE_URL=http://10.89.3.1:52625.
- add a quadlet healthcheck: /health (app) + non-loopback interface
(network liveness; the dead-tap state leaves only 'lo').
- deploy script now copies the .network file too.
- docs updated (OpenWebUI History section, Caddy basic-auth contract).
Replace the dead dankserver open-webui (bare container, :3000, pointed at a
dead :9090 backend) with a boot-persistent quadlet on dankclaw:
- CPU image (:main); dankclaw is CPU-only, so the :cuda image is wasted.
- Isolated on slirp4netns; publishes 3005 (3000 is Gitea's HTTP port).
- Default LLM backend is the local vLLM on 52625 (frank-default-large).
- Data persists under /home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data.
- Caddy route now proxies to the published LAN port (the container is not on
Caddy's network).
Also corrects the model/port mapping in the docs: the live state (verified
2026-08-19) is frank-default-large on vLLM :52625 (dankclaw) and
frank-default-small on llama.cpp :7770 (dankserver) — the reverse of the
2026-08-17 note.
