Frank 90c4ac69a7 Doc audit: fix all broken links + correct stale facts across the KB
Fanned out 5 read-only doc-auditor subagents (one per service group) that
fact-checked the knowledge base against the live system + repo config,
researched official setup docs online, and verified progress. Applied:
- All 34 broken links fixed (real pages / external URLs / correct relative
  paths); 0 broken links remain. No .AGENTTRASH links (the 4 mentions are
  accurate descriptive text, not links).
- Fact-check fixes: Readarr retired (May 2026), Radarr v4->v6, Calibre
  9.2.1 live, Calibre-Web 0.6.25 live, Copyparty v1.20.21, LLM index
  ncmoe 38 + 786432 ctx, frank-default-small active (not frank-pp-worker),
  Hermes/SearXNG/Grafana hostnames, Loki/Alloy local images, Observability
  diagram (Promtail->Alloy), VLLM retired note, DFlash status, benchmark
  live-drift notes, Homepage test count 116.

# Copyparty
Copyparty is a lightweight file server and media streamer that runs as a single Python binary. It handles large payloads, media streaming, resumable uploads, directory browsing, and WebDAV from one process.
**Host:** Dankserver — **Hostname:** `files.dankserver.local` — **Docs:** https://github.com/9001/copyparty
## Facts
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Latest version | v1.20.21 (2026-08) |
| Image | `ghcr.io/9001/copyparty:latest` (official Dockerfile in repo) |
| Port | 3923 (host) → 3923 (container) |
| Volume | bind mount the shared root directory |
| Auth | Per-directory `.cpy` config files, HTTP basic auth, `dirkeys`, `filekeys` |
| Streaming | HTTP range requests, HLS, WebDAV, WOPI (Office editing) |
| Docker editions | `dj` (document + media), `iv` (image + video), `v` (video only) |
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `COPAY_PASS` | Master password for the web UI |
| `COPAY_MODE` | Set to `rw` for read-write shares |
### Configuration File Options
Copyparty reads its configuration from `initcfg` (or `config` in the `/data` directory). Key options:
- `use-bwrap: n` — Disable bwrap sandboxing for ffmpeg (default in Docker). Set to `y` to enable.
- `shadowing //NULL` — Full unmap of a volume from the filesystem.
- Config env-var expansion: Use `${VAR}` syntax in `[global]` section for environment variable substitution.
### Docker Editions
Different editions bundle different libraries:
| Edition | Bundled Libraries | Use Case |
|---------|-------------------|----------|
| `dj` | Document + image + video libraries | Full-featured server |
| `iv` | Image + video libraries | Image and video focused |
| `v` | Video only | Transcoding only, minimal footprint |
The `iv` edition is no longer available for arm32/armv6. Use `dj` for maximum compatibility.
## Volumes
| Container path | Host path (convention) |
|----------------|------------------------|
| `/data` | `/opt/copyparty/data` |
## Docker Compose
```yaml
services:
copyparty:
image: ghcr.io/9001/copyparty:latest
container_name: copyparty
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
COPAY_PASS: "${COPAY_PASS}"
COPAY_MODE: rw
ports:
- "3923:3923"
volumes:
- /opt/copyparty/data:/data
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "python3", "-c", "import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:3923/')"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
```
## Healthcheck
A simple HTTP check on port 3923 works. The root path returns HTTP 200 with the directory listing.
## WOPI Integration
Copyparty v1.20.9+ supports WOPI (Web Application Open Platform Interface) for editing Office documents in the web UI via Collabora Online. Enable with the `--wopi-accs` flag to limit WOPI access to specific paths.
## Security Advisories
| Version | CVE | Issue |
|---------|-----|-------|
| v1.20.19 | GHSA-phv8-wgjp-g4p9 | FTP upload outside volume |
| v1.20.17 | GHSA-x5pq-m9p8-f4vx | dirkey/filekey confusion |
| v1.20.9 | CVE-2026-27948 / GHSA-62cr-6wp5-q43h | XSS via file upload |
Upgrade to v1.20.19+ to cover all known CVEs. The dirkey fix (v1.20.17) matters if using both `dirkeys` and `filekeys`.
## Gotchas
- **Large transfers:** Disable TLS inside the app and let Caddy terminate TLS. This avoids double encryption overhead.
- **Dedicated share directory:** Do not give Copyparty the whole disk. Mount only the intended share path.
- **Upload tokens scoped per folder:** Prevents accidental global write access.
- **CSP nonces (v1.20.17+):** Security hardening for JavaScript execution. May break third-party JS plugins (`--js-browser` / `--html-head`).
- **Custom thumbnail extractors (v1.20.19+):** New `thumbex` framework. Requires configuration in `initcfg`.
