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.
- tautulli.container: HealthCmd switches to the repo's proven curl pattern
(jellyfin unit) — quadlet's systemd-style value parsing mangles embedded
double quotes; PublishPort=8181:8181 restored (a mis-aimed line edit
replaced it; the PublishPort seam test caught the regression)
- deploy_plex readiness gate: 36x5s -> 120x5s; the 2026-09 cutover showed
the first container boot of a years-old library runs ~10 min while PMS
pre-binds 32400 and empty-replies; 180s failed the gate twice with a
healthy, still-booting service
Evidence from the failed first cutover: podman top shows container root
maps to dank (1000) under UserNS=host rootless (subuid range 100000:65536
cannot express 997), so PUID=997 fell back to root and PMS crash-looped on
write access to its 997:984-owned data root. Fleet model instead: PUID=0/
PGID=0 (container root = dank, same as jellyfin/copyparty data roots) and
deploy_plex chowns /var/lib/plexmediaserver to 1000:1000 inside the
first-cutover block. Zero bytes moved; rollback regains one chown -R
997:984 step, documented in Plex.md. Seam test pins PUID=0/PGID=0 and the
absence of any userns key.
podman 5.7 podman-user-generator on dankserver hard-fails the whole unit on
the unknown key ('unsupported key UsernsMode in group Container'), so the
first cutover attempt masked the native unit and then found no plex.service
at all. Swap both units to UserNS=host (same --userns=host flag), update the
ownership-contract seam test to pin the exact key, and correct both docs.
Pin the seam: the v1 generator rejects unknown Container keys silently at
deploy distance — the test now pins UserNS=, not the misspelled alias.
- runtime rows: podman quadlet under the systemd user generator, pinned
image digests, in-place bind mounts, identity model, appnet aliases
- cutover/rollback section on Plex.md (mask-native-unit lever, decommission
gate); drop the false 'updates are apt-only' and 'snap refresh' gotchas
- update path is now deploy.sh dankserver --service plex|tautulli
Phase 1/2 of the podman standardization plan: service pages updated to the
quadlet reality (units, Containers data roots, env-file secret convention,
the v1-generator findings each caught live), Storage Policy documents the
two rootless ownership regimes and the merge-move migration, Deployment
Flow's service-manager table no longer claims dankserver media is bare
inventory-only. Bundle change log entry added.
-v /w::A granted anonymous full rwmda on the LAN (verified: anon PUT -> 201,
PROPFIND -> 207). New perms ::r:ra,dank: browse/download for anonymous
(required by the guarded files.franksdank.cloud chain), admin for dank,
no w/m/d for anyone. Runbook corrected with the --help-accounts semantics.
All four arr roots live: /tv, /movies via API; /music, /books created after
v1 validator layers peeled back (quality/metadata profile ids must reference
existing profiles; v1 has no /api/v1/profile endpoint). Auth pitfall: the
literal AuthenticationRequired=Disabled string throws DryIoc.ScopedItemException
in v1 AuthorizationMiddleware on every request — the valid no-auth state is
ABSENCE of the key. Fixed live on four containers, verified boot clean.
Sonarr/Radarr root folders created via API (201). Lidarr/Readarr deferred to
first-run wizard (v1 validators demand quality-profile ids that don't exist
yet). Root cause of the write failures: LSIO PUID=1000 under rootless podman
maps to host uid 101000 — a phantom user owning nothing; PUID=0 maps to the
host user that owns every media dir.
Verified live: indexers->Prowlarr->per-arr QBittorrent download clients with
category routing. Readarr's client parked (qB proxy auth defect in abandoned
upstream). EZTV/1337x parked with reason (CloudFlare-blocked at this egress);
Nyaa/sukebei/RuTor/Byrutor/YTS passed live tests and are enabled. Prowlarr v2
Applications rows now carry real arr baseUrl+apiKeys; before this every sync
attempt threw NullConfig in GetIndexerMappings.
Verified live: AuthenticationMethod=None + AuthenticationRequired=Enabled on
all five arrs; unauthenticated API probes return 401 both locally and through
the vhosts. Also records the as-built divergences (entropy mounts, LA timezone,
readarr tag pin, prowlarr mount fix) that supersede the design compose.
The page claimed an env-var interface (COPAY_PASS/COPAY_MODE) and a /data
volume convention that this image does not implement: the ac edition consumes
accounts and volumes as argv flags (-a USER:PASS, -v SRC:DST:PERMS), serves
the LUKS array at /w, and answers HTTP 500 with its own error page when zero
volumes are configured. Image ref corrected to copyparty-ac (bare latest tag
does not exist on ghcr).
Live-verified 2026-08-29: plexmediaserver.service is an enabled native
systemd unit on Dankserver (not a quadlet; updates via apt, not deploy.sh),
and tautulli runs as a snap with no auth wall on 0.0.0.0:8181. The hunt list
named both; neither had a page. Index linked per the docs-completeness seam.
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.
