A Plex section scan walked 50k files at ~850 r/s and nothing bounded it. `IOWeight=` in a quadlet looks like the fix and does nothing: systemd delegates `cpu memory pids` to user@.service and NOT io, and it drops a resource line it cannot honour without a word — the container boots healthy and its cgroup has no io.weight file at all. Same family as RequiresMountsFor= (inert in the user manager) and ConditionPathIsMountPoint= (fail-dead). Place the two system drop-ins that make the controller reachable (user.slice IOAccounting=yes puts io in user.slice/cgroup.subtree_control, measured immediately; user@1000.service DelegateControllers gains io and lands at the next reboot, because restarting the user manager would kill every rootless container on the host), then ask for the share: IOWeight=10 on jellyfin and plex. 10 is a convention, not a measured optimum — proportional share, only bites under contention, only requirement is far below the default 100. ensure_user_io_delegate places both from git and prints NOTE: io is not delegated … inert until the next reboot, so the quadlet line never reads as live config. Verified on the host: subtree_control flipped to `cpu io memory pids`, the drop-in is attached and parsed (systemctl cat), and the podman 5.7 generator emits IOWeight=10 for both units (bare key; UnitConfigItem= not needed). Two limits recorded instead of hidden: a container's weight covers its whole cgroup (scan and playback share it), and the comparison happens inside user.slice, so it cannot push a rootless unit below a root unit such as frank-archon — that pairing is user.slice's own weight, a separate call. Docs: Quadlet Lifecycle 4b (the three-command read of the chain), Pi-hole (all rootless containers share one 10.0.2.100, so one chatty container throttles DNS for the host — 8 events today), E2E Suite gotcha 7 (the gate depends on the runner's resolver: 21 reds on a lost wired link, 37/37 minutes later). Seam: an in-repo IOWeight= may only exist when both drop-ins exist AND the deployer places them. ./tests/run.sh: 789 ok, exit 0.

AI Disclosures:
- Slop rating: 2/5 - Actively using, actively de-slopping, repository mostly human owned, lacks formal process.
- Completeness: Unfinished, planning planned, no plan yet
- Datacenter model/spend: Less than $20 of Deepseek 4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash
- Local model: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next
slop rating of 2 or lower indicates human reading is a worthwhile exercise, and that Frank has read the code and knows the architecture.
slop rating of 2 indicates that while this project is human owned, no human contribution process exists and/or release is agentically driven.
The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.
2026-08-22: the former
vllmScriptsrepository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Deployment
See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md
and serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run
./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after committing changes. It
plans and deploys only the changed services. Use --service NAME for an
explicit single-service retry; inference is restarted only when its own files
(or the shared chat template) changed.
Knowledge Base
The serverAppConfigs-docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at
serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at
serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/index.md.
Testing
Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See
serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
