Both media servers read a Kodi-format sidecar (movie.nfo / tvshow.nfo / episode.nfo) only when it sits next to the media file, and the library lives on the RAID6 array, deliberately mounted read-only for every container and slow to seek for a thousand tiny XML reads. So neither server binds the array any more: both bind /mnt/media, an OverlayFS merge of the array (lowerdir, never written) with /var/lib/media-meta on the NVMe (upperdir, where every write lands). Jellyfin binds the view rw at /data and is the fleet's only metadata writer; Plex binds it ro at /mnt/entropy, the container path its own database already recorded, so only the host side of that bind moved and its library paths keep resolving. scripts/media-view.sh plans, installs, verifies, reports and reaps the view. It refuses to mount over an unmounted array, refuses an upper layer on rotational storage, and refuses a non-root install. deploy-remote.sh raises the view before it restarts either media server, both units carry ConditionPathIsMountPoint=/mnt/media so a missing view skips the start instead of letting a scan clear the library database, and the planner routes the installer and dankserver/host/** to the jellyfin+plex pair. tests/media_overlay.bats (11 seams) pins the resolved shape, both refusals, the two binds and their guard, the deployer's ordering, the planner mapping, and the reap behaviour against a fixture (ghosts listed, then moved to the SSD trash -- files that exist only above are sidecars, not ghosts, so only directories are candidates).

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.
