dank e82c8b2d06 fix(fleet): refuse a container start until the mount it binds has answered
Dankserver rebooted with the array's mount and the media containers racing. A
rootless quadlet cannot order itself against the system's mnt-entropy.mount, so
`RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/entropy` is inert in the user manager: podman resolved
the bind against the pre-mount directory, Jellyfin and Plex came up blind, and
Jellyfin read an empty library and began `Removing item, Type: "Season"` by the
thousand. Copyparty had no guard at all.

`scripts/wait-for-mount.sh` is the gate: it waits for every named mountpoint,
then refuses by name. `ConditionPathIsMountPoint=` is NOT the fix — measured on
the host, an unmet condition logs `skipped, unmet condition check` with
NRestarts=0 and no start attempt ever follows, which is fail-dead, not
fail-closed. Jellyfin and Plex swap the condition for the gate; Copyparty gets
one; the law is recorded in AGENTS.md and the view page.

Verified on the host: the 5.7.0 quadlet generator accepts ExecStartPre in
[Service] (exit 0, all three units generated, gate present), the gate waits for
a mount that appears mid-window and proceeds, and it refuses a plain directory
after its window naming the path.

tests/media_overlay.bats pinned the old mechanism by name; its intent — both
media servers refuse to start without the view — now rides the gate.

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 vllmScripts repository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Structure

  • dankserver/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankserver stack
  • dankclaw/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankclaw stack
  • shared/ — homepage, prometheus config, deploy helpers
  • scripts/ — deploy.sh and deploy-remote.sh (service-scoped deployment), the planner, LLM serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, and bench harnesses
  • old/ — retired PP/NPU-era LLM scripts (reference only)
  • serverAppConfigs-docs/ — project knowledge base (Obsidian vault, wikilinks). serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/ is the LLM fleet
  • tests/ — bats test suite (see Testing Policy)

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.
