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.

# Loki
Loki is the log aggregation backend of the observability stack. It stores and queries container and system logs, and it feeds the log panels in Grafana. It replaces the need for a full ELK stack.
**Host:** Dankclaw — **Docs:** https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest
## Facts (from research)
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Image | `franksdank/loki:latest` (local build with a static busybox healthcheck) |
| Port | 3100 (host) → 3100 (container) |
| Mode | single-binary (all components in one process) |
| Storage | filesystem (bind mount) |
| Auth | `auth_enabled: false` (single-tenant homelab) |
| Schema | v13 / TSDB |
## Configuration
Config lives at `shared/loki/loki-config.yaml`. Key settings:
- `schema_config` v13 with `store: tsdb` and filesystem object store.
- `compactor` with `retention_enabled: true` so logs do not grow without bound.
- `replication_factor: 1` for a single instance.
## Volumes
| Container path | Host path (convention) |
|----------------|------------------------|
| `/loki` | `/opt/loki/data` |
| `/etc/loki/loki-config.yaml` | `shared/loki/loki-config.yaml` (bind mount) |
## Healthcheck
Loki responds on `/ready` with 200.
## Log Shipping
The [[Alloy]] agent on each host ships container and journal logs to Loki. Grafana queries Loki through the datasource in [[Observability]].
## Gotchas
- Filesystem storage grows; enable compactor retention.
- Loki and Promtail/Alloy must agree on the push URL: `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push`.
- For multi-host shipping, Loki's HTTP listener binds `0.0.0.0`.
