Rootless podman cannot resolve the literal group name 'render' inside the
container user namespace and fails the start with 'unable to find group
render'. keep-groups preserves the launching user's real supplementary
groups (dank is in render on this host), which is the canonical rootless
ROCm device-access recipe.
/dev/kfd and /dev/dri/renderD128 are root:render 0660 on this host. The
container passed the device nodes but only joined group video(44), so torch's
HIP init failed with 'No HIP GPUs are available' and main.py never bound
:8188 — every proxy hop to the app returned 502. Group membership is a
create-time property, so this deploy recreates the container.
comfyui.franksdank.cloud was exempt (direct reverse_proxy to comfyui:8188).
The comfyui-proxy proxy provider was created on the embedded outpost first
(internal_host http://caddy:8017, flows copied from hermes-proxy), then the
vhost flips onto the guard chain and authenticated traffic routes back via a
@comfy host match. ComfyUI has no auth of its own; this closes the last
unguarded admin surface on the internal hosts.
The quadlet generator space-splits HealthCmd into the healthcheck argv, so the
quoted /bin/sh -c form arrived mangled and failed with exit 1 forever (FailingStreak
569) while the DB itself accepted connections. Bare argv survives both exec forms.
Env file is the source of truth (unit ExecStart runs the serve script which
sources it); serve-script default and the deployer health-gate URL flipped in
lockstep so the post-restart health gate polls the new port. Docs, fleet table,
and both index bullets updated to match.
Prior docs claimed unknown tags silently serve llama3.2:1b. Live probes on the
live endpoint disprove it: /v1/chat/completions answers HTTP 200 with a flat
{"error":"Failed to load <tag> model!"} body and no choices; /v1/completions
answers a nested OpenAI-shaped server_error (code 500) under HTTP 200. Valid
tags route per-request to the named model (response echoes the requested tag);
no restart needed to switch between registry tags. Corrected in the runbook,
the AGENTS.md runtime section, the serve-script header comment, and the
historical FastFlowLM incident note.
frank-default-sightsound (FLM v1.0.1, XDNA2 NPU, port 52626) is live on
Dankclaw. Documents the first-deploy crash-loop root cause: iommu=off on the
kernel cmdline breaks the XDNA2 SVA bind (amdxdna_drm_open ret -19), so every
/dev/accel/accel0 open fails with ENODEV; fixed with iommu=pt + reboot.
Whole-registry single-port serving with per-request routing by exact FLM tag;
unknown tags fall back to llama3.2:1b (no 404). Health = GET /v1/version.
Vision + audio towers proven live (image_url color probe; audio control-pair
token-count probe). Updates AGENTS.md fleet table + runtime section, both
index pages, and the change log.
The v1 quadlet generator skips the whole unit when [Container] holds an
unsupported key; the stale key was a leftover of a draft edit. Network=host is
the only host-networking key this generator version accepts.
The v1 generator on this host skips a unit whose [Container] section holds an
unknown key, so the deploy-time regeneration dropped hermes.service entirely
while the container kept running unmanaged. Network=host generates
--network host verbatim (v1 passes extension-less values through).
The gateway unit ran on dankclaw_default and could not reach the host
daemon: from that network only DNAT'd published ports accept connections to
the LAN address. The compose era ran the gateway with network_mode: host, so
the daemon was reachable; the unit silently changed topology at takeover and
broke the adapter. Host networking + a loopback dial removes the dependency
entirely — the gateway is an outbound-only client and publishes nothing.
The trio ran as bare compose containers and died silently at the Aug 26
reboot — nothing restarts compose containers at boot. Each now has a
boot-persistent unit (WantedBy=default.target; the v1 quadlet generator on
this host cannot enable generated units). The deploy handler retires the
compose-era containers only while the units are not yet active, then
(re)starts each unit.
Units run the image under a localhost/hermes-agent:latest alias tag (the
quadlet create path on this host cannot resolve registry-prefixed refs from
local storage); the deploy handler tags first. The gateway's :8090 publish
is dropped — nothing consumes it; the public vhost now routes to the
dashboard's login-gated UI on 9119.
The gateway's SIGNAL_HTTP_URL pointed at the host LAN IP. From container
space on netavark networks only DNAT'd published ports accept connections
to that address; :8080 has no forward, so every connection was refused
and the Signal adapter stayed disconnected since the Aug 26 reboot.
host.containers.internal is the verified working path (probed live from a
probe container on dankclaw_default).
The public hostname also routed to hermes:8090, which serves nothing —
the gateway has no HTTP listener. It now routes to the dashboard's login-
gated admin UI on :9119, behind the existing Anubis+Authentik guard.
The first deploy attempt pulled c3ed3a6 on the target but the remote runner
rejected the explicit --service selection because service_is_allowed() keeps
its own per-target allowlist; add the new LLM service to it.
New Dankclaw service frank-default-sightsound: FLM 1.0.1 serving the
Gemma4-E4B-IT-NPU2 pack (vision+audio+reasoning, 131072 ctx) on the XDNA2
NPU at port 52626. Model choice rationale: gemma4-it is the only NPU2 model
family with BOTH image and audio towers; the uncensored candidate qwythos:9b
is text-only, so sight+sound wins over uncensored here.
Deployer wiring: planner maps env/unit/serve files to the new service name;
deploy-remote gains deploy_llm_sightsound (relink + daemon-reload + enable +
restart + health gate on /v1/version — FLM has no /health route). Unlike the
retired frank-default-npu relink-only path, this unit is boot-enabled.
- kingjones-strix-rocmfp4 reactivated as the ACTIVE large runbook:
runtime build recipe (WEBUI=OFF gotcha), deployed serving profile,
fa-on-works-unpatched evidence, MTP heads documented unloadable,
swap procedure + 2026-08-30 validation record
- agentionai-fast-imatrix marked RETIRED (rollback record kept)
- freetoken-frank-default-small: model/lineage/template sections now
Huihui abliterated FP8; new operational quirk: chat API 422 without
explicit model field
- LLM index + AGENTS fleet table/runtime sections current; both
services' history chains fixed (small was still Tiel in AGENTS.md)
- worklog entry added; models.json contextWindow for large corrected
to the real per-slot 131072 (llama clamps n_ctx_train/parallel)
- same qwen3_5_moe arch and native block-fp8 format (e4m3, 128x128
weight_block_size, un-fused per-expert layout) as the official
Qwen FP8 checkpoint: identical FreeToken loader path, pool numbers
unchanged (2048 MoE slots / 453005 KV tokens / 4 requests)
- checkpoint downloaded to /home/dank/models/huihui-qwen36-35b-a3b-abliterated-fp8
(26 shards, ~35G); official checkpoint kept for rollback
- ships froggeric fixed Qwen3.6 chat template, read from checkpoint
- also refresh both .service Descriptions (large still said STRIX_LEAN)
- runtime: charlie build-qwen38 -> kingjones30/ROCmFPX (card recipe
build, LLAMA_BUILD_WEBUI=OFF since npm/HF-bucket provisioning fails;
all 35 of our serving flags verified present in the tree)
- model: agentionai FAST imatrix -> kingjones777 STRIX single GGUF
(on-host copy sha256 == HF LFS oid c6770d74...49fa verified)
- args unchanged from our validated profile (401408x2, b4096/ub512,
t16/tb16, f16 KV, fa on, fit off); mmap stays default per card
(PLE streams via page cache; --no-mmap = silent cgroup OOM)
Meta-header routing and forward_auth removed from the described design — both
disproved live. Documents: Host-based provider routing with per-guarded-host
proxy providers (lockstep rule), the null-flows wedge that starves the
embedded outpost config fetch, the Anubis /outpost.goauthentik.io/* transport
exemption, the single-file bind-mount stale-policy inode gotcha, Invalid next
URL as a dead design, and the public-DNS record requirement per guarded host.
Login/PoW/POST traffic to the outpost URL space cannot solve a fresh PoW
challenge per request; exempt the transport prefix (authentik's own session
gate still protects it) so the guarded-host sign-in journey completes.
The redirect-to-flow design with an absolute cross-host next= was rejected by
the flow's open-redirect guard at completion ("Request has been denied:
Invalid next URL"), and meta-header routing does not exist in this build
(providers route on the ORIGINAL Host). :8016 now proxies every request whole
to authentik-server:9000 preserving Host; the embedded outpost serves login
in place and forwards authenticated traffic back to :8017. Requires one proxy
provider per guarded host (provisioned live: search/hermes/prometheus/romm/
files + www, flows backfilled). Tests flipped from the meta-header claim to
the upheld contract: Host preserved, no absolute next= redirects.
fa on aborted graph build: build_attn_qsa called ggml_fill on the
F16-converted kq mask (GGML_ASSERT F32 at ggml.c:5371). Patch mirrors the
MLA sparse path in llm_graph_context::build_attn (F32 base mask for the
top-k surgery, F16 cast only at the attention call, gated on
cparams.flash_attn). Vendored at scripts/patches/qwen4exp-qsa-f32-mask.patch
(sha256 f2f4a486...); the build-qwen38 binary on Dankclaw is rebuilt with
it and validated live at CTX_SIZE=32768 (health 200, real completion).
- Main model (v2 joined PLE layout, sha256 1e4160ca…) loads and serves on
build-qwen38 only with --flash-attn off: the QSA indexer path calls
ggml_fill on the F16-cast kq mask and aborts graph build (GGML_ASSERT
F32 at ggml.c:5371). Verified live: model loaded, health 200, real
completion.
- MTP draft head (agentionai FAST, 2.28 GiB) does not load on this binary:
qwen4exp loader requires full per-layer blk.<il>.hc_attn_norm.weight,
head carries only blk.48. Third confirmation (EasiiX Q8_0 + agentionai
FAST vs kingjones STRIX_LEAN previously, now own-matched pair). Spec
decoding runs ngram-mod only; head retained for a future compatible build.
- FLASH_ATTN=off and SPEC_TYPE=ngram-mod wired through env + serve script;
runbook and AGENTS.md updated with the verified constraints.
Model: agentionai/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-ROCmFP4-FAST-imatrix-GGUF (87.06 GiB,
Q4_0_ROCMFP4_FAST imatrix-calibrated, per-head PLE table inside the GGUF —
fully VRAM-resident). Draft: agentionai/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-MTP-ROCmFP4-FAST
(2.28 GiB, matched ROCmFP4-FAST quant, ~66% acceptance at n-max 3).
Vision tower (f16) loaded via mmproj/.
Runtime: charlie12345/ROCmFPX build-qwen38 (HIP, ROCm 7.2.4, gfx1151) —
the only binary with the ROCmFP4 FAST types. Replaces the jcbtc CIRU v1.1
deployment (ciru-ai runtime).
Profile: card sampling table (temp 0.7, top_p 0.8, top_k 20, min_p 0.0,
presence 1.5) mixed with the validated build-qwen38 serving profile:
262144 ctx x 1 slot, b 4096 / ub 4096, t 16 / tb 16, f16 KV, fa on,
cont-batching, prompt cache + 8 GiB cache-ram + idle slots, 16 ctx
checkpoints (no --checkpoint-min-step — unsupported on this binary),
--fit off (auto-fit segfaults on qwen4exp hyper-connection config),
--spec-type draft-mtp,ngram-mod with n-max 3 (adaptive p-split measured
worse per author card), p-min 0.75. Qwen-Sharp chat template kept;
reasoning stays in DeepSeek format.
The 2026-08-28 failure of this draft head on the kingjones STRIX_LEAN
model was a cross-vendor pairing problem: the head carries
blk.48.hc_attn_norm.weight (verified in-GGUF, same shape as the working
CIRU draft). Docs: new runbook agentionai-fast-imatrix, index updates.
Runtime: ciru-ai/Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-IU4 llama.cpp at tag v1.1, built
with the vendor build-linux-amd.sh flag set plus GGML_CUDA_FA +
GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS (the Q4_1_MOE_FORCE_J path is live in the hipified
mmq kernels). Model: jcbtc/Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-IU4 (Q4_1 IU4 experts,
MTP Q8_0 draft, CIRUPLE1 PLE sidecar) with checksums verified at download.
Vendor production profile verbatim on first deployment: 262144 ctx x 1 slot,
b 2048 / ub 512, t 8 / tb 8, f16 KV, fa on, cont-batching, prompt cache +
8 GiB cache-ram + idle slots, 32 ctx checkpoints (min step 8192), MTP depth
3 with p-split 0.10, PLE pager env knobs (Q41_MOE_FORCE_J=32,
PLE_WORKERS=16, PLE_STRICT_SHA=0, HIPBLASLT=1). Qwen-Sharp chat template
kept deliberately; reasoning stays in DeepSeek format.
This 2026.x build does not mount /outpost.goauthentik.io/* for proxy-provider
meta-header routing (probed live: ping answers 204, app paths with full meta
headers 404). Guarded vhosts now redirect to /if/flow/default-authentication-flow/
with next= back to the app — unauthenticated sees the login page in place,
authenticated sessions complete instantly and bounce straight to the app.
The proxy provider matches external_host exactly, so Host=www matched zero
providers and Authentik answered its error page while the naked domain
served the homepage. Flip the topology: www.franksdank.cloud is the one
guarded vhost carrying the homepage through Anubis -> Authentik -> :8017;
franksdank.cloud (plus legacy names and the bare-IP catch-all) 308-redirects
onto www before any challenge. Tests flipped to assert the new contract.
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.
Under rootless podman, LSIO's PUID=1000 maps to host uid 101000 — a phantom
user owning nothing: Sonarr's own validator rejected /tv because the process
could not write it. Container-root under a single-user userns maps to the host
user (dank), which owns every /mnt/entropy media dir and /opt config dir.
Identity is now mapping-independent instead of depending on subuid offsets.
calibre-web untouched (working; churn avoided).
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.
Kestrel rejects the h2c upgrade preface; Caddy surfaced that as a 502 per
request while the backend answered 200 on plain HTTP/1.1 from Caddy's network.
Contrast recorded: Plex PMS needs the TLS transport, Jellyfin needs none.
Jellyfin's Kestrel backend rejects the h2c upgrade preface, so Caddy turned
every request into a 502 while the same port answers 200 over plain HTTP/1.1
from Caddy's network. Default transport (HTTP/1.1) restores the vhost.
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).
Ground truth from the image itself: python3 -m copyparty --help-accounts shows
-a takes USER:PASS and -v takes SRC:DST:PERMS:FLAGS — the COPAY_PASS/COPAY_MODE
envs this compose carried are not consumed by this image at all (zero COPAY_
references in the package). With no accounts and no volumes configured, the ac
edition serves its cwd read/write for everyone: the stack was running an
unauthenticated world-writable share of the 91T array. Now: admin account dank
with the A flag on volume /w; anonymous gets nothing.
The ac edition's entrypoint (cpp.sh -> python3 -m copyparty) consumes config
via /z/initcfg, not argv; -v is the volume flag and ate the next arg,
crash-looping argparse. The image mounts everything under /cfg/copyparty as
volumes by marker-file convention — plant the marker on the host instead.
The image entrypoint is /bin/ash /z/cpp.sh -c /z/initcfg: copyparty flags are
passed through command, and the ac edition mounts volumes with -m, not via a
COPAY_VOL env. Without any volume mounted every request resolved zero volumes
and the app answered HTTP 500 with its own error page. Verbose flag included
for the bring-up; drop it once stable.
The ac edition maps volumes from COPAY_* envs; without a volume root every
request resolves zero volumes and the app answers HTTP 500 with its own error
page. Point it at /w where the LUKS array is mounted.
ghcr.io/9001/copyparty:latest does not exist — ghcr answers 403 on the token
request for nonexistent repos, which is why the bring-up failed at pull. The
upstream publishes ghcr.io/9001/copyparty-ac (ac = full edition) and serves
whatever is mounted at /w, so the compose mounts the LUKS array there; config
persists in /opt/copyparty/cfg per upstream layout.
Jellyfin ran as user 1000:1000 inside a rootless user namespace, where host
uid 1000 maps to container uid 0 — the pinned uid is unmapped, so /config/log
creation EACCES'd and the service SIGSEGV'd on boot. Container root (= host
dank) is correct under rootless podman; group_add 992 (render) still maps via
the userns group map, so GPU access is preserved.
Readarr: lscr.io/linuxserver/readarr:latest does not exist — LSIO ships only
arch-prefixed nightly/version tags for readarr (verified against the ghcr tag
API). Pin amd64-1.0.980, the newest stable tag.
The compose stack mounted /mnt/media/{movies,shows,tv,music,books,downloads}
— a prefix that has never existed on this host. The 91T LUKS array mounts at
/mnt/entropy and its libraries are case-exact (Movies, TVShows, Music,
eBooks). Also restores prowlarr's config mount (eaten by an off-by-one in the
prior edit) and fixes TZ New_York->Los_Angeles on the arr stack.
