Frank 7178e1c789 docs(frank-tts): what makes a locally built voice image stale, and what the warm text must survive
Three pages, all from faults found this session:

- `LLM/deployment.md` gains "Locally built images": which images have no
  registry digest, what the `cfhash` skip is for, why it must cover every COPY'd
  file (the silent shape: build skipped, /health green, old code serving), and
  the base-image half of the law — the engine's `useradd`, because the pinned
  ubuntu:24.04 has no `adduser`.
- `Dankclaw/Frank TTS Engine.md` troubleshooting gains the two lines an operator
  actually needs: every voice cold on a fresh boot with a hand-run hook
  succeeding (= `WARM_TEXT` arrived quoted, `podman exec … env | grep WARM_TEXT`
  proves it), and a 502 from the façade beside a 200 `/health` from the engine
  (model loaded ≠ voices registered). The stale-warmer row is re-keyed to the
  new rebuild rule.
- `Dankclaw/Voice Packs.md` step 4 was wrong: it told the next agent to restart
  the engine *instead of* the warm hook because the hook "only registers packs it
  has not seen". It registers every pack on every run and the engine replaces a
  name it already holds — `tools/tts-server.cpp:148` at the pinned commit:
  "Re-registering a name replaces the previous entry." A restart is what an
  engine bump needs (the registry is memory-only), never worse, only slower.
- `Dankclaw/Frank TTS.md` deploy command re-keyed to `./scripts/deploy.sh
  dankclaw --service frank-tts`, the way it is actually deployed; the raw
  `deploy-remote.sh` form is plumbing.

Server App Configs

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.
