Live-test commits for controller slice 4, all reverted the same day (2026-09-13) — NO NET CHANGE
templates/glance and templates/uptime-kuma are byte-identical to 3525e35 (checked with
git diff 3525e35 HEAD -- templates/glance templates/uptime-kuma → 0 lines). The commits moved image
tags so the controller's guarded update could be proven live on demo-hp with a throwaway app:
| commit | change | reverted by |
|---|---|---|
a1f1c38 |
glance v0.8.5 → v0.8.4 | 045495f — glance abandoned: it crash-loops on a fresh install (no glance.yml seeded), filed felhom.eu R-473 |
01c631d |
uptime-kuma 2.4.0 → 2.3.2 (install from) | 28ce33b — that revert IS Scenario A's real tag change |
29a8cbe |
uptime-kuma → 2.4.999 (does not exist) | 41dd686 — Scenario E |
6ce3f65 |
uptime-kuma → alpine:3.20 (exits at once) | 6d8c7ab — Scenario F; reverted early (~2 min exposure) once the update had pinned it, after the commit security review flagged that a catalog push is a deploy. No other box had uptime-kuma |
Every commit moved catalog_since with the image line, per the catalog rule, and every revert restored it.
MariaDB finishes its own conversion — MARIADB_AUTO_UPGRADE=1 on four db services, and an engine-major gate (2026-09-13, R-459 / R-469)
Templates changed: bookstack, kimai, nextcloud, romm — the db service's environment: list only.
No image: line moved, so catalog_since does NOT move (the rule ties it to an image change).
The ruling (operator, 2026-09-13, on SPIKE-r459-mariadb-upgrade-2026-09-06.md): an unconverted
MariaDB datadir is stable but never heals — the engine says Check required! on every start forever —
and the conversion costs ~7 s and takes its own system-table backup first. So every mariadb: sidecar
now carries MARIADB_AUTO_UPGRADE=1; MARIADB_DISABLE_UPGRADE_BACKUP stays unset — that backup is the
precaution. The setting is inert until an engine major actually moves.
Proven by the harness before it shipped (throwaway LXC 9403 on demo-hp, destroyed after;
evidence felhom.eu/documentation/audits/r459-close-2026-09-13/harness/):
| edge | verdict | the engine's own view AFTER (engine_state_after) |
|---|---|---|
| C3 (negative control) | failed — the harness still says no |
— |
| E3 (app + engine 11.6 → 12.3) | proven, readback after = true |
12.3.3-MariaDB | This installation of MariaDB is already upgraded to 12.3.3-MariaDB. There is no need to run mariadb-upgrade again. [exit=1] |
| E3b (engine half alone) | proven, readback after = true |
same |
The entrypoint, verbatim: Backing up system database to system_mysql_backup_11.6.2-MariaDB.sql.zst
→ Starting mariadb-upgrade → Finished mariadb-upgrade (6 s). skipped due to $MARIADB_AUTO_UPGRADE
appears 0 times in either TO log — it appeared on every start before this change. The abort still
starts and serves (spike §5.3), and the abort log still prints MariaDB upgrade not required, which
is the R-464 trap and not a soundness claim.
And a rule with a gate, because the Update button still takes no backup (R-448 not shipped):
until Slice 4 ships, no template may move a database-engine image across a MAJOR version — four
MariaDB, eleven PostgreSQL services, found by image name. scripts/check-engine-major.py is the
fourth row of catalog_gates.py (--fast, git reads only); .githooks/pre-push now hands it the
push range. It needs a parent commit and CI fetches at --depth 1 (the R-452 gap, not re-filed),
so on a shallow clone the runner skips it out loud; the hook is where it bites. Red-proof
(scripts/test_gate_decoys.py, 7 cases): mariadb:11.6 → 12.3 and postgres:16 → 17 REFUSED naming
the rule and its expiry; 11.6 → 11.8 passes; the version moving only in a comment, in kimai's
serverVersion= env, in README, or on the app's own image passes. The rule's removal is tracked as
felhom.eu R-469 so it is a deliberate act, not a lapse.
upgrade-test.py records the ENGINE's own view of itself (2026-09-06, R-459) — NOT A RELEASE
Scripts only. No template changed, and deliberately so — nothing with MARIADB_ in it is
committed by this work; that is a fleet-wide decision the operator owns.
The harness returned proven for edge E3b while MariaDB was logging that the datadir conversion it
requires had been skipped. The verdict was not wrong — the app's data did survive, which is what it
asked — but nothing here could see that the engine had been left in a state the engine itself calls
incomplete. It watched the app and the migration log; neither looks at engine state.
engine_state_after now carries, per database service, the engine's own answer. On the E3b re-run:
verdict: proven
engine_state_after.bookstack-db.answer:
"11.6.2-MariaDB| Major version upgrade detected from 11.6.2-MariaDB to 12.3.3-MariaDB. Check required! [exit=0]"
It is reported BESIDE the verdict and never folded into it. An unconverted datadir is not known to
be a failure — SPIKE-r459-mariadb-upgrade-2026-09-06.md measured 5 of 5 restarts with no degradation
— so a verdict that called it failed would encode an unproven judgement, which is worse than
reporting a fact and letting a person read both.
Both engines are covered and they fail differently: MariaDB starts anyway and skips the conversion quietly; PostgreSQL refuses to start on a datadir from an older major. "The engine would not start" is as much an engine-state observation as "the engine says it needs a check".
upgrade-test.py — a harness that measures whether an upgrade keeps the data (2026-09-06, R-449) — NOT A RELEASE
No template changed. No image moved. Scripts only. scripts/upgrade-test.py +
scripts/upgrade_fixtures.py.
Until today this project had measured one app upgrade out of 53 — Nextcloud, by hand, during
SPIKE-app-update-2026-09-01 §7 — and the whole update arc was designed against that single data
point. A one-off measurement nothing repeats decays into a claim. This is the thing that repeats it.
Method, per edge: deploy at the FROM images → seed through the app's own interface → prove the seed reads back (control C1) → swap to the TO images → ask the app for the data again → then put the FROM images back and record what happens.
Two rules, and the first is the one people get wrong. Success is an application-level
readback, not file identity: survive2.py's sha256+inode rule is right for a redeploy and wrong for
an upgrade, because a migration is supposed to rewrite files. And, carried verbatim from that same
script: nothing is ever seeded into a volume by hand (R-156) — every seed goes through the app's
HTTP API or its own CLI, and an app with no such route is recorded inconclusive, never faked.
Run C3 first, always. Its TO image is alpine:3.20, which pulls cleanly and exits immediately.
It came back failed — so the harness can say no, and its greens mean something. If it ever comes
back green, nothing else in the run is evidence.
First run measured 7 edges across 3 apps (privatebin, docmost, bookstack) in a throwaway guest on
demo-hp, destroyed afterwards. Findings, including a real defect in this repo's own bookstack
template: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-upgrade-test-2026-09-06.md.
LIVE-TEST for controller v0.235.0 — two pushes, both reverted the same hour (2026-09-06) — NOT A RELEASE
No template is different after these four commits. dc7e548 moved bentopdf's healthcheck
interval 30s → 45s (a NON-image change); 09b4ff5 moved its pin v2.8.6 → v2.8.5; 1798ce6 and
17cc784 reverted both. The tree is byte-identical to 8220f8d.
Why real catalog pushes and not a hand-edited file on the box: controller v0.235.0 changes what the CATALOG SYNCER does, so the only faithful test is a real change travelling the real 15-minute cycle — the same method the 2026-09-01 spike used.
What they measured, live on demo-hp:
- the non-image change reached the pinned app on the normal cycle (
[INFO] [sync] Updated bentopdf/docker-compose.yml, 08:01:51Z) with the image and the container untouched — fixes flow; - the image change did not (08:20:29Z): the live compose file still named v2.8.6 while the catalog
offered v2.8.5, and a
POST /api/stacks/bentopdf/restartafterwards took 0.1 s, did not recreate the container, and never pulled v2.8.5 — against the spike's measurement of 18.3 s with a pull for the identical sequence before the change.
Why bentopdf: deployed on demo-hp only, file-based, with no database and no volume, so no data
anywhere could be touched. Evidence:
felhom.eu/documentation/tests/VALIDATION-update-slice3-2026-09-06.md.
catalog_since on all 53 apps — how long has a newer pin been sitting here? (2026-09-02, update arc slice 2)
One new optional key in every .felhom.yml, no compose file changed, no image moved.
catalog_since: "YYYY-MM-DD" records the date THIS repo last changed that app's pinned images. The
controller (v0.233.0) compares what a box is ACTUALLY running against what the template now pins and
renders one Hungarian badge — "Naprakész" or "Frissítés elérhető — 45 napja". No version number
is shown to the customer anywhere (operator ruling, 2026-09-02: a household cannot act on
26.05.2), so there is deliberately no version: key to keep in sync alongside this one.
Backfilled from this repo's own git history, not typed by hand: for each app, the newest commit
whose set of image: values differs from its parent's. Four anchors confirmed against the spike's
own numbers — nextcloud 5e2c1ae, grafana b789acc, calcom 147cee7, vikunja 3fa63cd, all
2026-07-18 — and six apps re-checked against git log by hand (bentopdf, plex, crafty-controller,
homebox, bookstack, wanderer).
Two commits were EXCLUDED BY HASH and the reason is the point: 214d448 and 30bd892, the
bentopdf pin move and its same-hour revert, are recorded above as a spike MEASUREMENT and not a
release. Counting them would have dated bentopdf 2026-09-02 for a pin that has not actually moved
since 71828a8 (2026-07-12), which is when :latest became v2.8.6.
Range: 2026-02-15 (plex, still on its original pin) to 2026-07-21. Thirty-eight of the 53 sit on 2026-07-18, the catalog-wide bump.
The rule this creates, now in CLAUDE.md: any commit that changes an image: line must set that
app's catalog_since to the same day. There is no gate enforcing it yet — the gates runner
fetches at --depth 1 and has no parent commit to diff against — and that gap is filed as a register
row rather than left implicit.
Gates after the change: image-pins OK. image-resolvable and volume-persistence came back
INCONCLUSIVE for environmental reasons unrelated to this change (Docker Hub throttled 6 of 65
unauthenticated manifest lookups; the volume prober's own canary needs a scratch Docker host).
SPIKE measurement — bentopdf pin moved and reverted the same hour (2026-09-01, R-438) — NOT A RELEASE
No template is different after this pair of commits. 214d448 moved
templates/bentopdf/docker-compose.yml from v2.8.6 to v2.8.5; 30bd892 reverted it. Both are on
main deliberately, because the measurement needed a REAL catalog change travelling the real
15-minute sync — a hand-edit on the box would have proved nothing about the syncer.
What it measured, live on demo-hp: the sync at 17:45:17Z rewrote the DEPLOYED app's
docker-compose.yml to v2.8.5 while its container went on running v2.8.6, and nothing told the
customer. Then a boot reconciliation started the app on v2.8.5 with nobody pressing anything.
Why bentopdf: it is deployed on demo-hp only (demo-felhom runs opengist alone; Peti's box is down
with no enrolled host), and it is file-based with no database and no volume, so no data anywhere could
be touched. Evidence and the full findings:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-app-update-2026-09-01.md.
the decoy sweep — can this gate be fooled by a label? (2026-09-01, R-421) — NOT A RELEASE
No product code, no version bump, no image, no golden. A scripts change is not a release.
Four times in one week a gate turned out to match a NAME instead of the thing it named — R-410 (a
mkdir turned the release gate green), R-400 (seven debug controls answering nothing), R-378 (a
status word inside a sentence), R-419 (a phrase inside prose, including prose saying the marker was
absent). All four found by accident. The gates enforce everything else here and were the one part
nothing had checked.
All 29 gate scripts read and decoyed. 16 were fooled. 10 fixed here, 4 left with rows (R-422..R-425), 6 could not be given a plausible decoy and are named (R-426 group d).
The largest single cause was mundane: eight gates set their SCOPE with os.listdir (one level).
Green and correct today; blind the moment anyone adds templates/partials/. mojibake and
docker-v already used os.walk, caught the identical planted file, and are the control that
proves the cause was the listing rather than the decoy.
Full survey table, and the five decoys withdrawn as illegitimate (mine, named):
documentation/audits/AUDIT-gate-decoys-2026-09-01.md.
In this repo: no gate changed, and that is the result. image-pins was decoyed and is SOUND —
a real untagged image: line is convicted; the x-image: attempt was WITHDRAWN as illegitimate
because x- fields are inert in Compose, so the label had no fact behind it either way.
image-resolvable and volume-persistence need a container runtime and are named in the
decoy-coverage exemption list (R-426) as UNTESTED, not as sound.
docs — the "CI is still owed" claim was stale; corrected (2026-08-06, R-229 part 2) — no version bump
One sentence, no code. This file asserted that continuous integration was still owed
(felhom.eu OPEN-ITEMS.md R-168). R-168 was CLOSED on 2026-08-02 — a Gitea Actions runner
re-runs each repo's gate entry point on every push and emails the operator on failure. Found while
confirming this session's own push by run ID, which is the check that caught it.
The same stale sentence was in four instruction files across all four repos and is corrected in all
four. In felhom-agent/CLAUDE.md it contradicted the same file's release section, which already
said R-168 mails the failure — a contradiction inside one instruction file, which is the exact class
the R-229 work exists to find.
papra — the volume is mounted where the app actually writes (2026-08-03, R-156, last leg)
The third and last of the three apps that kept their data where backups never looked. papra
mounted papra_data:/app/data while the application writes to /app/app-data, so its database sat
in the container's writable layer: lost on redeploy, and tarred nightly as an empty directory
while the healthcheck stayed green.
Decided from the IMAGE, not the README. docker inspect ghcr.io/papra-hq/papra:26.6.1-rootless
gives WORKDIR=/app and all three data paths under ./app-data — DATABASE_URL=file:./app-data/db/db.sqlite,
DOCUMENT_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOT=./app-data/documents, PAPRA_CONFIG_DIR=./app-data — and
/app/data does not exist in the image at all.
Why the mount moved rather than the app being reconfigured. Pointing all three env vars at
/app/data would have worked, but it enumerates data paths: a fourth one added upstream escapes to
the writable layer again, silently, which is this defect re-armed. Mounting the app's own data ROOT
captures every current and future path by construction.
Precondition checked, not inherited: papra is deployed nowhere — docker ps -a (including
stopped) on both demo guests, plus the hub fleet view showing two enrolled hosts and zero papra
references. Both boxes were wiped and rebuilt on 3 August, so the 2 August evidence was re-measured.
Proven by the runtime gate, in both directions. check-volume-persistence.py papra → CLEAN,
with its self-test passing on the same run. Red-proof: reverting the mount to /app/data → BROKEN
with the exact R-156 evidence (DATA in the writable layer at /app/app-data/db,
declared volume /app/data is EMPTY). Full catalog_gates.py papra: all three gates OK.
Note for the next run of that gate: it needs root (it reads /var/lib/docker/volumes, mode
drwx--x---; as a normal user its own canary fails UNDETERMINED and it correctly refuses a verdict),
and it should be scoped to the app touched — unscoped it deploys all 53 templates.
CI — the static catalog gate runs on every push (2026-08-02, R-168)
No version bump, no build, no deploy — this adds a workflow file only. Stated explicitly so the omission reads as a decision rather than a miss.
.gitea/workflows/gates.yml (new). Triggers on push, runs-on: felhom-gates, obtains the
source with a shallow git fetch of the exact pushed SHA from the in-cluster Gitea Service, and
runs this repo's entry point with --fast — nothing else. No uses: step anywhere: JavaScript
actions need a node runtime the host-mode runner does not have, and probe P3 measured a plain
git fetch as sufficient. No || true; the entry point's exit code IS the job's result.
It REPORTS, it cannot REFUSE, and the workflow header says so: this repo pushes straight to
main with no pull request, so there is no merge for a status check to stand at. The refusing half
is .githooks/pre-push, which is per-clone and --no-verify-able; this half notices when that was
skipped. Making CI blocking needs branch protection plus a PR workflow → felhom.eu OPEN-ITEMS.md
R-169, an operator decision.
A failed run emails the operator via Resend and prints the provider's accepted id, because probe
P5 measured that Gitea itself sends nothing at all on a failed run. Demonstrated end to end on a real
red run (RESEND-ACCEPTED id=…), not assumed. Full detail:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-ci-runner-2026-08-02.md.
--fast only, and that is the point. check-image-pins.py runs; check-image-resolvable.py
(network) and check-volume-persistence.py (Docker, minutes per app) do not. CI that pulls 53
images on every push gets disabled, and the bypass becomes the habit. Measured in the first run:
image-pin gate OK — 53 templates, 0 unpinned images, with both runtime gates announced as skipped
and their own output absent from the log. They remain deliberate periodic runs.
No sibling clone is needed here — unlike the controller and the agent, catalog_gates --fast does
not invoke the shared reuse checker.
2026-08-02 — --fast for the pre-push hook (no version: this repo carries none)
scripts/catalog_gates.py --fast selects only gates that touch no network and no container
runtime. Today that is gate 1, check-image-pins.py. check-image-resolvable.py (network) and
check-volume-persistence.py (Docker, minutes per app) are not in it, and the skip is
announced, with the reason and with what still owes a periodic run — a silently narrowed run
reads as "covered everything" when it did not. Default behaviour with no flag is unchanged.
Why the runtime gates are never in a hook. A push that pulls images and starts containers gets
bypassed within a week, and the bypass becomes the habit. They stay deliberate periodic runs: the
start of a catalog campaign, before a publish train that vouches the catalog, and whenever a
template's volumes: block or image tag changes — on a scratch host, never a customer box.
.githooks/pre-push (new) runs catalog_gates.py --fast and refuses the push. It is per-clone
(git config core.hooksPath .githooks) and git push --no-verify bypasses it on purpose; both
limits are written into the hook. This is R-161's convention half made automatic-ish; the
unbypassable half is CI, now tracked as felhom.eu OPEN-ITEMS.md R-168.
scripts/test_catalog_gates.py (new, 5 tests) pins --fast's CONTENT, not just its exit code:
the static gate's own stdout must appear (an inert runner prints the summary while calling nothing),
the runtime gates' must not, the skip must be announced, and the no-flag path must still select all
three. Red-proofed with an inert run_gate.
2026-08-02 — one entry point for the catalog's gates (R-161 ruling)
scripts/catalog_gates.py runs all three gates — image-pins, image-resolvable, volume-persistence —
and exits non-zero if any fails. Mandated in CLAUDE.md the way felhom.eu/scripts/site_gates.py is:
run it after any template change, naming the app(s) you touched.
Operator ruling, recorded because the alternatives were rejected for measured reasons.
Controller-side enforcement at template load was rejected: such a check can only read the file, and a
static audit of all 53 templates reports the catalog clean including papra — it would pass on the
exact defect it exists to catch. CI was rejected for now: neither repo has any, and there are no users
yet. What was chosen copies the shape that demonstrably works here — of this project's gates, the only
ones that ever get run are the ones with a single entry point named in a CLAUDE.md; site_gates.py is
run, and R-29's three orphaned gates are named nowhere and have stopped nothing.
Behaviour: 0 all clean · 1 convicted · 2 UNDETERMINED, never a pass; a conviction outranks an
undetermined result in the summary so the reader knows which they have. Gate output is streamed, not
captured — a runner that swallows diagnostics makes a conviction unreadable. Scoping passes app names
through to the two gates that accept them; with no names the runtime gate deploys every template and
belongs on a scratch host.
R-161 stays OPEN at reduced scope: this is convention, run by a person. Real automatic enforcement is owed when a second person touches templates.
Verified: image-pins passes standalone (53 templates, 0 unpinned); the unknown-option path exits 2;
the aggregation was unit-checked over five gate-code combinations. The runtime leg was deliberately
NOT executed on DooPlex — it deploys templates via docker compose, and DooPlex is the recovery
chain; it belongs on a scratch host.
2026-08-02 — persistence sweep: does every app's data land in a folder the template preserves?
Campaign 10's R-156 found papra writing its database into the container's writable layer while the volume the template preserves stayed empty — so its backup completed, verified, and contained nothing. papra was never the point: nothing anywhere checked that the folder a template preserves is the folder the app writes to, across 53 templates. All 53 have now been measured live.
Result: 43 CLEAN · 3 BROKEN · 7 UNDETERMINED. Full report and per-app evidence:
audits/persistence-sweep-2026-08-02/.
New gate — scripts/check-volume-persistence.py, the third and the only RUNTIME one.
The two image gates are static, and this defect class is invisible to static analysis — measured,
not assumed: a static audit of all 53 composes (every declared volume attached, no anonymous mounts,
no stray host binds) reports the catalog clean and reports papra clean. papra's compose is
well-formed; only its behaviour is wrong. So the gate deploys each template, exercises it into
writing data, and compares where the data landed with what is mounted. Exit 0 all clean /
1 REFUSED / 2 undecided. UNDETERMINED is exit 2 and is never a pass.
It refuses to report at all unless it has just re-proven itself in both directions against two canary templates built from a purpose-made image reproducing papra's ownership shape — the pair differ only in which path the volume mounts at, so every run carries a live demonstration of R-156 and of its fix. A detector that flags nothing turns an unexamined catalog into a documented-clean one.
41 fixture tests (scripts/test_check_volume_persistence.py, no Docker) driving check() — the
function __main__ calls — plus rollup_diff/classify. Every rule red-proofed.
Two templates FIXED (neither deployed anywhere in the fleet, so no data was stranded):
gramps-web— mounted/app/data,/app/media,/tmp, and/app/datais a path the application never writes. Its accounts database (GRAMPSWEB_USER_DB_URI→/app/users) and its family tree (GRAMPS_DATABASE_PATH→/root/.gramps/grampsdb) both landed in the container's writable layer: destroyed by any redeploy, absent from every backup, whilegramps_datawas tarred nightly as an empty directory. Now persists the eight paths the image's own environment names, matching upstream's reference compose.wishlist— mountedwishlist_data:/data, another path the app never writes.prod.dbwent into the anonymous volume docker creates for the image'sVOLUME /usr/src/app/datadirective. Anonymous volumes are absent fromResolveDockerVolumeNames, soDumpAppVolumesnever backs them up, andcompose down+uporphans them — a store that survives a restart, loses on redeploy and is never in a backup. Now mounts/usr/src/app/dataand/usr/src/app/uploadsper upstream.
Every corrected path is confirmed by two independent sources — the shipped image's own
environment/Config.Volumes, and upstream's reference compose — never inferred from a directory name.
papra is NOT fixed — referred to the operator. The one-line fix is prepared and proven, but
papra is live on one box, and changing the mount target makes the next compose up -d recreate the
container and destroy the writable layer its documents currently live in. That data is already on
borrowed time, but the fix is what schedules the loss. See the report §6.1 for which box it is,
how far that was determined, and the two options. No migration was written.
7 UNDETERMINED, counted separately and never folded into CLEAN — bentopdf (stateless by
design), uptime-kuma / privatebin / recipe-importer (write nothing until a user completes
setup), glance (crash-loops for want of a seeded config — pre-existing, Campaign 7 §6.2),
plant-it (image does not resolve; lifecycle: abandoned), wanderer (unhealthy).
CLAUDE.md and REUSE.md updated with the gate and the traps it encodes.
2026-07-21 (later) — app lifecycle replaces the retired/ directory move
The retired/ mechanism shipped earlier today was wrong and is withdrawn. Moving a template out
of templates/ does un-offer it — but it also makes the controller's orphan detector see the
template as GONE for anyone already running the app, flagging their working install Elavult and
offering a Törlés button. Withdrawing an app must never take a working app away from a customer.
Replaced by an optional top-level lifecycle: field in .felhom.yml (controller v0.158.0):
available— default. Absent or empty means this, so all existing templates are unchanged.hidden— not offered for new installs; nothing shown to anyone already running it.abandoned— not offered for new installs, and every box already running it shows a permanent „Nem karbantartott" badge plus a notice that updates and security fixes will no longer arrive.
Deployed instances keep full function in every state; the controller refuses a deploy of a
non-available template server-side. An unknown value degrades to available with one WARN.
plant-itreturns totemplates/withlifecycle: abandoned— the first user of the mechanism, and the case that motivated it. Its compose is deliberately unchanged: it pinsmsdeluise/plant-it:0.10.0, a repository that does not exist (the real one is-server), and the app is not installable, so rewriting it would imply it is.retired/is removed.- The resolvability gate is now lifecycle-aware. Non-available apps are skipped by default and
REPORTED, not silently dropped;
--allincludes them. An abandoned app's dead image is the expected end state, not a finding — counting it would leave the gate permanently red for something nobody intends to fix, and a gate that is always red is a gate nobody reads. 6 new fixture tests (19 total), including one asserting an all-skipped run is a pass rather than an error.
Catalog is back to 53 apps (52 offered + plant-it abandoned).
2026-07-21 — catalog honesty: wanderer re-pinned, plant-it retired, and a standing rot gate (R-41 slice 1)
Campaign 7 left two apps sitting behind a working "Telepítés" button with images that did not resolve at all, recorded as findings rather than fixed. Both are now diagnosed rather than hidden, and the class of defect gets a gate so it cannot recur silently.
wanderer — RE-PINNED. The project is alive; the template was pointing at a ghost.
ghcr.io/flomp/wanderer:0.16.0 does not resolve because upstream did three things at once: split
the app into two images, moved registry, and renamed the GitHub org (Flomp → open-wanderer). Current
shape, taken from upstream's own compose at tag v0.20.0 (2026-07-07):
flomp/wanderer-web:v0.20.0— the SvelteKit web app, port 3000,curlon PATH.flomp/wanderer-db:v0.20.0— PocketBase, port 8090. Built FROMscratch: no shell, no package manager, a static curl baked in at/curl— hence the absolute-path healthcheck.getmeili/meilisearch:v1.36.0— still a required sidecar; both other services wait on its health. Pinned DOWN from the v1.49 Campaign 7 had set, per the R-42 ruling: a sidecar pin follows the app template's own proposed pin, never the newest tag independently.- New required volume
/data/pluginson the db — v0.20.0 moved the Strava/Komoot/Hammerhead integrations into a WASM plugin sandbox that lives there. - New: a second hostname (
SUBDOMAIN_DB, defaulthike-db).PUBLIC_POCKETBASE_URLis a browser-side variable — the user's browser talks to PocketBase directly, so it cannot be an internal address. Upstream's own proxy example uses two hostnames for the same reason. - New generated secret
POCKETBASE_ENCRYPTION_KEY(hex:16→ exactly the 32 characters upstream requires).mem_limit384M → 1024M, matching the sum of the three services.
plant-it — RETIRED to retired/plant-it/ (operator ruling 2026-07-21). The pin was only
slightly wrong — the repository is msdeluise/plant-it-server, and 0.10.0 was the right version —
but correcting the name would have been the wrong fix. Upstream has discontinued self-hosting:
backend/ and deployment/ are deleted from main, the project is now an Android app on
F-Droid/Obtainium, and the last server image was pushed 2024-12-10 (a security-frozen Spring
Boot 3.4.0). It also requires MySQL 8.0 + Redis, which the template never had — its header
claimed "Database: None (file-based)", which was never true. Ruling: do not ship unmaintained
software to customers. Retirement is reversible (git mv retired/plant-it templates/plant-it);
nothing is deleted. Catalog is now 52 apps.
scripts/check-image-resolvable.py — R-41 slice 1: the standing rot gate. check-image-pins.py
is syntactic and proves only that a template pins something concrete; it cannot see that the thing
is gone. This resolves every unique pin with docker manifest inspect, one image at a time, and
exits 0 / 1 (GONE) / 2 (inconclusive). Two traps are encoded in it, both observed live during this
change:
docker manifest inspectprintstoomanyrequests: …and still exits 0 — the same exits-0-on-failure shape as the ISO tooling'svalidate-answer, so stderr is checked even on rc=0.- The inverse, which the first full sweep actually did: it called 24 of 65 pins dead, including
postgres:16-alpineandredis:7-alpine, purely because Docker Hub throttled it partway through. Ambiguity now resolves to INCONCLUSIVE, never to an accusation — a gate that cries wolf gets ignored, and then it protects nothing.
14 fixture tests (scripts/test_check_image_resolvable.py), no network — the resolver is injected.
2026-07-19 — docs: workspace-root pointer follows the CC move to DooPlex
Docs only, no template change. Claude Code now runs on DooPlex (192.168.0.180, Debian 13)
instead of the Windows workstation. CLAUDE.md's cross-repo pointer becomes
/mnt/5_hdd/felhom.eu/git/CLAUDE.md. This repo carried no other environment-specific content —
it was the only one of the four that needed nothing else.
2026-07-19 — CAMPAIGN 7: full catalog sweep (53/53 apps deployed + validated on the demo box)
Every app in the catalog was bumped to its newest stable upstream tag where one existed, then
actually deployed through the controller's real endpoints on the demo box (controller 0.146.0),
validated (all containers healthy, HTTP through the real Traefik ingress, log scan), and removed
again through the real delete flow. Full evidence + result matrix:
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/CAMPAIGN-7-catalog-sweep-2026-07-19.md.
Result: 45 apps pass end-to-end, 4 do not, 1 is not automatable (plex needs a real PLEX_CLAIM).
Version bumps — ~40 templates moved to current upstream, 15 of them across a major
(bookstack 25.02→26.05, immich v2→v3, calcom v4→v6, nextcloud 31→34, grafana 11→13, n8n 1→2,
outline 0.82→1.9, vikunja 0.24→2.3, tandoor 1→2, romm 4→5, radarr 5→6, privatebin 1→2,
onlyoffice 8→9, claper 1→2, gramps-web v24→v25). uptime-kuma moved off the floating :2 tag
to 2.4.0. DB/cache sidecar majors were deliberately NOT bumped — rationale in the campaign
doc §4 (a DB major is the application's decision, and postgres:16-alpine already tracks 16.x).
13 template fixes, every one live-re-validated:
- 7 broken healthchecks. This is not cosmetic: Traefik will not route to an
unhealthycontainer, so a probe that cannot run makes the app return 404 to the customer while it serves 200 on its own port. adventurelog (wget in a distroless image → Node-exec at an absolute path), emby (curl absent, BusyBox only), papra + wishlist (node-only images), homebox (--spidersends HEAD, endpoint answers 405 to HEAD / 200 to GET), zipline (v4 renamed/api/health→/api/healthcheck), tandoor (start_periodtoo short for gunicorn). - 5 apps that had NEVER been deployable and were fixed: papra (missing required
AUTH_SECRET, now a generateddata_keysecret), zipline (v4CORE_DATABASE_URL→DATABASE_URL), wishlist (dead Docker Hub image → followed upstream toghcr.io/cmintey/wishlist:v0.66.0), homebox (upstream dropped thevtag prefix + new requiredHBOX_AUTH_API_KEY_PEPPER), wger (2.6 needs the fullDJANGO_DB_*set and listens on :8000, not :80 — the Traefik port was wrong too). - 4 memory/OOM corrections proven by a live OOM: gramps-web 384M→1024M, n8n 512M→1536M
(V8 heap), rallly 256M→768M, tandoor 512M→1024M (+ its
mem_limitsum was already wrong). - gokapi reverted v2.2.4 → v1.9.6: v2 refuses to run against the seeded ConfigVersion-21 config and demands an intermediate v2.0.0 pass, even on a fresh deploy. Shipping it would have broken every new gokapi deploy. Needs a dedicated v2 config-migration task.
Still failing (recorded, not fixed): glance (needs a seeded glance.yml; PROVEN pre-existing —
the pre-campaign v0.7.4 pin fails identically), gokapi (above), plant-it and wanderer
(their images do not resolve at all — neither the new tag nor the one the catalog already shipped).
2026-07-14 — backup classification backup: blocks for the 13 bind-bearing apps (controller v0.132.0)
Adds the referential-coupling backup: classification block to every catalog app that binds
${HDD_PATH}/${USERDATA_PATH} (13 apps: immich, paperless-ngx, nextcloud, calibre-web,
audiobookshelf, komga, navidrome, radarr, sonarr, emby, jellyfin, plex, romm). Each block lists its
userdata:/hdd: binds with a class ∈ {mandatory, optional, excluded} (COUPLED /
DECOUPLED-precious / DECOUPLED-bulk); classes are operator-ruled (Viktor, 2026-07-14) + spike SQ2.
Requires controller v0.132.0, which parses + validates these blocks (Task 2 of the
backup-classification-redesign arc, felhom.eu/documentation/audits/SPIKE-backup-classification-2026-07-14.md).
The classification is INERT — no backup tier changes behavior yet; Task 3 (tier policy engine)
and Task 4 (manual .fab UI) consume it. All 13 blocks were verified against the shipped controller
parser: parse-clean, every bind resolves explicit to its ruled class (zero validation errors).
Notes: audiobookshelf media/audiobooks = optional (consistency with komga/romm curated media;
the spike proposed excluded — PENDING a Viktor veto). radarr/sonarr downloads = excluded (transient
cross-app queue). emby/jellyfin/plex media = excluded (:ro readers; state in volumes). The 42
volume-only apps get no block (classification moot — state rides in the recovery unit's volume dumps).
2026-07-12 — image pinning sweep: :latest eliminated from all templates (5 pins) + standing gate
A catalog sweep found 5/53 templates with unpinned images. Beyond version discipline, :latest
breaks restore fidelity: the controller's recovery-unit ImagePins pins the tag, so restoring a
:latest app re-pulls whatever :latest means at restore time — potentially schema-incompatible
with the data being restored. Rule applied: a deployed app pins to the digest it is RUNNING
(pin ≠ upgrade); undeployed apps pin to the verified upstream stable. All five pins are
digest-identical to what :latest resolved to on 2026-07-12 — a pure no-op for running apps.
| App | Old | New | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| bentopdf | ghcr.io/alam00000/bentopdf:latest |
:v2.8.6 |
digest == latest (eaeea1e4…); undeployed |
| calibre-web | crocodilestick/calibre-web-automated:latest |
:v4.0.6 |
digest == RUNNING image on demo 9201 (c31a738b…) |
| papra | ghcr.io/papra-hq/papra:latest |
:26.6.1-rootless |
latest == the -rootless variant (a7a42e22…); -root differs — variant preserved |
| recipe-importer | gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/recipe-importer:latest |
:v0.9.11 |
tag pre-existed in registry, digest == latest (f3cb617c…) — no retag needed |
| termix | ghcr.io/lukegus/termix:latest |
:2.5.0 |
digest == latest == release-2.5.0 (4d337131…); undeployed |
- New rerunnable gate
scripts/check-image-pins.py: fails on:latest/dev/nightly/edge/main/masterAND on untagged image refs (implicit :latest);@sha256:digests count as pinned. Red-proofed both shapes (revert→exit 1→restore). - Standing rule added to
CLAUDE.md(never :latest / untagged; deployed apps pin to running digest). templates.jsoncarries no image strings (legacy metadata only) — untouched.- Fleet caveat: non-deployment of bentopdf/papra/termix verified on demo 9201 only; felhotest unreachable + Peti's box offline at sweep time (operator approved proceeding — pins are digest-equal to latest, so worst case equals the status quo).
2026-07-06 — healthcheck sweep: localhost → 127.0.0.1 across all 48 templates
Escalation of the re-run vaultwarden observation
(felhom.eu/documentation/audits/RERUN-p1p3-2026-07-06.md) from an instance to a class: 48/53
templates used localhost in their docker healthcheck test: line. BusyBox wget (and the node /
python / curl one-shot forms, incl. mealie's socket.create_connection) resolve localhost→IPv6
::1 with no cross-address-family fallback, so an IPv4-only-binding app reads docker-unhealthy
while fully serving. Mechanical sweep localhost→127.0.0.1, scoped strictly to the healthcheck
test: lines (diff-reviewed: no app env/config/label line changed; .felhom.yml files were already
clean). Industry practice — never localhost in container healthchecks. New REUSE.md convention row.
2026-07-06 — vaultwarden F1 fix: _ENABLE_SMTP boot-gate (campaign finding, pilot-blocking)
The no-mercy campaign (felhom.eu audits/CAMPAIGN-nomercy-2026-07-06.md, finding F1) proved that a
FRESH vaultwarden deploy with app-email off — the default state — crash-loops: the template always
defines SMTP_HOST=${SMTP_HOST:-} / SMTP_FROM=${SMTP_FROM:-}, and vaultwarden treats a
defined-but-EMPTY env var as "set", so its config validation (smtp_host.is_some() == smtp_from.is_empty()) errors out and the process exits. The old comment ("empty SMTP_HOST = mail
stays disabled") was wrong for this image. Empirically proven on the pinned
vaultwarden/server:1.33.2-alpine (probe P1: defined-empty pair → exact campaign error, exit 12;
P2: _ENABLE_SMTP=false + same empty pair → boots; P3: _ENABLE_SMTP=true + host+from → boots).
Fix: gate the whole SMTP group with vaultwarden's own _ENABLE_SMTP flag — compose default
false (validation skipped, mail off, clean boot), flipped to "true" by the app-email injection
via smtp_mapping.extra (no controller change needed — extra already rides smtpEnv). The ON
path is byte-identical to the previously send-tested state plus the flag.
Sweep note (no edits): the other five smtp-mapped templates (calcom, gitea, mealie, nextcloud,
rallly) are boot-proven tolerant of defined-empty mail env — all ran healthy as fresh email-off
deploys during the campaign; gitea's GITEA__mailer__SMTP_ADDR=${...:-} pattern likewise.
Vaultwarden was the only strict image. New REUSE.md trap row: strict images need an enable-flag
gated false in compose + "true" in smtp_mapping.extra; boot-prove fresh email-off deploys.
2026-07-03 — sparkyfitness FINALIZED + live-validated (both VERIFY markers resolved); REUSE probe-naming row
The first worked example of the new felhom-app-catalog skill (felhom.eu). Both
VERIFY-BEFORE-FINALIZE healthcheck guesses resolved by inspecting the real images on the demo box:
frontend (Alpine/nginx) HAS BusyBox wget → drafted wget --spider :80/ probe confirmed + kept;
server HAS node v24.17.0 → node-exec :3010/api/health probe confirmed (path proven live:
{"status":"UP"}). Frontend container_name renamed → sparkyfitness (= the stack name): the
controller-side probe dials the exact-name container, fallback is the FIRST prefix match (could be
the DB) — new REUSE.md §2 "Probe-container naming" row records the convention (verified in
felhom-controller healthprobe.go). Mem-sum comment added (512+1024+256 = 1792M, value unchanged).
Live-validated on demo via the real dashboard UI (sync + Frissítés): 3/3 containers healthy,
controller probe healthy: true (http :80 → 200), sparky.demo-felhom.eu 200 via Traefik;
data_key secrets untouched (server/db containers not recreated). Kept deployed.
2026-07-03 — docs: CLAUDE.md light expansion
The minimal REUSE-rollout stub expanded to a proper (still ~30-line) CLAUDE.md: what the repo is
(one dir per app, two template files, Hungarian customer text), the push-to-main = deploy contract
(controller sync ≤15 min / manual trigger), legacy templates.json warning, and pointers
(REUSE.md, README format spec, the felhom-build-deploy skill). No template changes.
2026-07-03 — docs: REUSE.md introduced
Cross-repo reuse-map rollout (docs-only). New REUSE.md: catalog conventions verified against all
53 apps — the canonical example app (paperless-ngx), .felhom.yml required fields, healthcheck
family per image type (BusyBox wget / curl / Node / Python / DB sidecars), memory-limit convention,
new-app checklist, and traps (gokapi entrypoint hack, legacy templates.json). Known README drift
recorded in §6 (NOT fixed). Also a minimal CLAUDE.md carrying the REUSE.md pointer + maintenance
rule (full CLAUDE.md is a separate task).
2026-06-29 — App-email: calcom + nextcloud (tls_mode=plaintext :2526 + nextcloud split-From)
- nextcloud —
smtp_mappingwithtls_mode: plaintext(controller injects port 2526, the plaintext-only listener) + split From (from_var=MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS+from_domain_var=MAIL_DOMAIN→ nextcloud@felhom.eu). Compose references the injected${SMTP_*}/${MAIL_*}. Live-confirmed: real password-reset delivered via plaintext :2526 (Symfony Mailer never attempted STARTTLS). - calcom —
smtp_mappingwithtls_mode: plaintext(EMAIL_SERVER_HOST/PORT, EMAIL_FROM=calcom@felhom.eu). Plus three pre-existing template fixes (calcom never deployed before — the image pin was invalid): (1) imagev4.8.7→v4.6.9(the pinned tag has no published image); (2) added requiredDATABASE_DIRECT_URL(Prismamigrate deployfails without it → incomplete schema → 500s); (3) healthcheck/api/health→/api/auth/providers(the old path 404s in v4.x → container stayed unhealthy → Traefik wouldn't route). - Both apps point at the controller's
:2526plaintext-only listener because their SMTP clients opportunistically STARTTLS-upgrade and can't skip the self-signed cert — the listener simply doesn't offer STARTTLS, so they stay plaintext (accepted on the single-tenant app bridge).
2026-06-29 — App-email rollout: gitea + rallly (calcom/nextcloud/immich = findings)
- gitea 1.23.4 — added
smtp_mapping(STARTTLS viaGITEA__mailer__PROTOCOL=smtp+starttls+FORCE_TRUST_SERVER_CERT=trueto trust the shim's self-signed cert; singleGITEA__mailer__FROM). Compose references the injectedGITEA__mailer__*keys; env applied every boot. - rallly — added
smtp_mapping(Nodemailer STARTTLS,SMTP_SECURE=false+SMTP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=falseto accept the self-signed cert; singleNOREPLY_EMAIL). Also fixed three pre-existing template bugs that made rallly undeployable (never caught because the bad pin never ran): (1) image pin3.12.1doesn't exist →3.11.2; (2) healthcheck usedwget, absent from the rallly image (exit 127) → container unhealthy → Traefik wouldn't route it → replaced with a Node http check; (3) added requiredSUPPORT_EMAIL+ a validNOREPLY_EMAILdefault (rallly refuses to boot without them). - Both gitea and rallly send-tested live end-to-end (app → shim → hub → Resend): gitea password-reset
(From
gitea@felhom.eu) and rallly registration code (Fromrallly@felhom.eu) both delivered. - NOT wired — reported as findings (
felhom.eu/documentation/audits/FINDING-app-email-rollout-2026-06-29.md):- cal.com v4.8.7 — hard-codes TLS
rejectUnauthorized:truewith no override; opportunistic STARTTLS against the self-signed shim fails. Needs a non-STARTTLS-advertising plaintext listener (mechanism change). - nextcloud 31 — no cert-skip env (same opportunistic-STARTTLS gap) and a split From
(
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS+MAIL_DOMAIN) the single-from_varmapping can't express. - immich v2.5.5 — no SMTP env vars at all; config is admin-UI/DB or an
IMMICH_CONFIG_FILEJSON. Does not fit env-injection; left for a future config-file-injection mechanism (or manual admin-UI setup).
- cal.com v4.8.7 — hard-codes TLS
2026-06-29 — App-email: smtp_mapping for Vaultwarden + Mealie
- Added the
smtp_mappingblock totemplates/vaultwarden/.felhom.ymlandtemplates/mealie/.felhom.yml, enabling managed outbound email (app → in-controller shim → hub → Resend) for the two spike-proven apps (SPIKE-smtp-app-relay-2026-06-28). The controller injectsSMTP_*at deploy/redeploy when app-email is on (global + per-app); the From address is<app>@felhom.eu. SMTP auth creds are intentionally left unset (the shim accepts no-auth on the Docker network).- Vaultwarden: STARTTLS (
SMTP_SECURITY=starttls) +SMTP_ACCEPT_INVALID_CERTS/HOSTNAMES=trueto accept the shim's self-signed cert. - Mealie: plaintext (
SMTP_AUTH_STRATEGY=NONE) on :2525 — Mealie has no accept-invalid-cert option, so STARTTLS to a self-signed shim would fail; plaintext to the Docker-network-only shim is the spike-validated mode.
- Vaultwarden: STARTTLS (
- Both
docker-compose.ymlfiles now reference the injected${SMTP_*}keys (with harmless defaults) so the values reach the container; emptySMTP_HOSTkeeps mail disabled when the toggle is off. - Documented the
smtp_mappingpattern inREADME.mdso further apps are easy adds.
2026-06-28 — Add SparkyFitness (v0.17.2) — nutrition/workout tracker
- New app
templates/sparkyfitness/{docker-compose.yml,.felhom.yml}: a self-hosted nutrition/calorie + workout/weight tracker (alternative to wger). Three containers — nginx frontend (SPA :80, the sole Traefik ingress, proxies/api+/uploadsinternally) + Node server (:3010) + dedicated postgres:15-alpine. Server + DB stay on the internal network with no Traefik labels. - Native email/password auth (no OIDC/Authentik — that's DooPlex-specific); subdomain
sparky(deliberately ≠ wger'sfitnessto avoid a Host() collision).pi_compatible: false,needs_hdd: false. - Two DB roles:
sparky(POSTGRES superuser, runs init/migrations) +sparkyapp(limited app role the server auto-creates on first boot) — separateDB_PASSWORD/APP_DB_PASSWORD.PGDATAin apgdatasubdir of the named volume. Four auto-generated,locked_after_deploysecrets;API_ENCRYPTION_KEY+BETTER_AUTH_SECRETcarrydata_key: true(restore recovers, never regenerates — both are 64-char hex). - Transcribed from the validated k3s manifest
homelab-manifests/workout-system/sparkyfitness.yaml(pinned image tags, two-DB-role model, never-change crypto keys,/api/health, pg15 + PGDATA subdir). - Image-probe findings (build server, v0.17.2): server keeps the
node -e/api/healthprobe (node present); frontend keeps thewget --spiderprobe (bothwgetandcurlpresent). No probe changes needed. - Live-validated on guest 9201 (controller v0.87.0): synced via "Sablonok frissítése"; deployed through
the real dashboard flow (Domain auto, Subdomain
sparky, 4 secrets auto-gen). All 3 containers healthy; server log shows clean migrations +sparkyapprole created + RLS applied, no crash loop, no uploads EACCES;GET /api/healththrough the public edge returns{"status":"UP"}; login/register page serves over a valid TLS cert athttps://sparky.demo-felhom.eu.
2026-06-26 — crafty-controller: image bump 4.4.8→4.10.7 + publish Java port range + connection guidance
- Image bump
crafty-4:4.4.8→4.10.7(latest stable; 4.10.8/4.11.0 don't exist in the registry). 6 minor versions of fixes incl. security CVEs. Java 25 verified present in 4.10.7 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-25-openjdk-amd64, defaultjava -version= openjdk 25.0.3; 8/11/17/21 also available) — so the latest-Minecraft (26.x, needs Java 25) blocker is resolved. Healthcheck + Traefik https-backend labels unchanged (Crafty still serves HTTPS on 8443). - Published the Java game-port range
25565-25575:25565-25575(TCP, 11 ports = up to 11 Java servers; first server 25565, rest 25566–25575). Nonetwork_mode: host(would break Traefik routing). Bedrock UDP 19132 intentionally out of scope. - App-page guidance (
.felhom.ymlfirst_steps + prerequisites): how to set the server port within 25565–25575, how to connect on the LAN (manual IP:port — "scan for LAN" won't auto-list), and that internet access needs operator port-forwarding. (Static text — can't show the live LAN IP.) - Live-verified on guest 9201: 4.10.7 healthy; public URL 302; the guest's bridged LAN IP
192.168.0.121reaches the real Crafty "test" server on25565(TCP OPEN + Minecraft SLP handshake returns JSON status);:25575reachable,:25600closed (negative control). In-place upgrade preserved the admin, the operator's configured MFA, and the test server. - Correction (earlier draft was wrong): an earlier note here claimed the upgrade "locked out the
admin (TOTP)." That was a misdiagnosis — the
totp_datarow + recovery codes were operator-configured MFA, so the 401 on a password-only login was correct behaviour, NOT an upgrade bug. There is no upgrade regression; the bump preserves data and MFA correctly.
2026-06-26 — crafty-controller: seed a felhom-generated admin password (replaces Crafty's ugly random one)
- crafty-controller: instead of reading Crafty's auto-generated (long, symbol-laden) random admin
password, we now seed a clean felhom-generated one — same pattern as gokapi, so initial passwords are
consistent across the catalog.
- Crafty's image ships
app/config_original/default.json = {"username":"admin","password":"crafty"}; "crafty" is 6 chars < Crafty's 8-char minimum, so Crafty rejected it and generated a random password. - New
CRAFTY_PASSWORDdeploy field (type: password,generate: password:24, locked after deploy — mirrors gokapi'sGOKAPI_PASSWORD). The compose entrypoint overwrites thedefault.jsontemplate with this password before the launcher runs; on fresh install Crafty creates theadminuser with it. initial_credentials.filerepointeddefault-creds.txt→default.json(same json/username/password keys), so the controller's app-page "Kezdeti belépési adatok" card shows the seeded password — the customer sees the same value at deploy time and on the app page.- Catalog-only change (reuses felhom-controller v0.84.0's initial_credentials reader + the gokapi-style seed). Requires a fresh install to take effect (the seed is only read on first run).
- Crafty's image ships
2026-06-26 — crafty-controller: surface the auto-generated initial admin password on the app page
- crafty-controller: Crafty writes a random admin password to
/crafty/app/config/default-creds.txtat first boot (its built-in default is rejected as "too short"). Customers had to read the container logs to find it. Added aninitial_credentialsblock (new general felhom-controller v0.84.0 mechanism):file+format: json+username_key/password_key+ anote. The controller reads the file live from the container and shows username + password (masked, reveal/copy) on the app's page under "Kezdeti belépési adatok". Requires felhom-controller ≥ v0.84.0. - Updated
first_stepsto point at the app page for the initial login instead of "find it in the logs".
2026-06-26 — crafty-controller: Traefik https backend + scoped skip-verify (fixes 502)
- crafty-controller: the healthcheck fix un-withheld the Traefik route, exposing a pre-existing
502 — Traefik proxied
http://…:8443to Crafty's HTTPS-only self-signed backend (Crafty serves no plain-HTTP panel;:8000only redirects). Added two service labels:loadbalancer.server.scheme=https— Traefik now speaks HTTPS to the backend.loadbalancer.serverstransport=insecure-skip-verify@file— references the named serversTransport defined in the controller-managed Traefik dynamic config (felhom-controller v0.83.0), which skips verifying Crafty's per-container self-signed cert. Verification stays ON for every other backend (scoped Option B; no globalinsecureSkipVerify). The@filesuffix is the cross-provider reference from the docker provider to the file-provider transport.- Requires felhom-controller ≥ v0.83.0 (which renders the
insecure-skip-verifytransport).port=8443and the router/tls labels are unchanged.
2026-06-26 — crafty-controller healthcheck fix (curl-absent + http-vs-TLS probe)
- crafty-controller: container was permanently
unhealthy→ route withheld (routeUnpublished). Two independent healthcheck root causes, both fixed in one change:- Docker healthcheck ran
curl -fk https://localhost:8443, but thecrafty-4:4.4.8image has nocurland nowget(exec: "curl": not found, FailingStreak 150). Replaced with a dependency-free python3 TLS-socket liveness probe (/usr/bin/python3is present): completes a TLS handshake to127.0.0.1:8443(unverified context mirrors the old-k; Crafty's cert is self-signed).start_period30s → 60s for cold-boot headroom (cert gen + migrations). - Controller-side probe (
.felhom.yml healthcheck.checks) wastype: httpagainst Crafty's TLS-only 8443 →probeHTTPsent plaintext HTTP, got a TLS record →HealthProbe.Healthy=false, whichmanager.gore-applies to override Docker's verdict back tounhealthy. Changedhttp→tcp(probeTCPdial succeeds against a TLS listener). Both layers had to change together. - Live-validated on guest 9201 (
demo-felhom): synced → recreated via the update path → DockerState.Health: healthy(ExitCode 0),health_probe.healthy: true(tcp :8443, 5ms), http-vs-TLS WARNs stopped, stable green 3+ min, Traefik now publishes the route (crafty-controller@docker). - Known follow-up (separate, out of this fix's scope): the public URL still returns 502 — a
distinct pre-existing bug the un-withheld route exposed: Traefik proxies
http://…:8443to Crafty's HTTPS-only backend. Needs a Traefik HTTPS-backend + self-signedserversTransport(insecureSkipVerify) in the controller-generated Traefik config — tracked separately.

2026-06-23 — gokapi: index redirect + admin username display
- gokapi: seed
RedirectUrlrepointed from Gokapi's GitHub default →https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN}/admin. Gokapi's bare root/redirects toRedirectUrl; the controller's "Megnyitás" link is always the bare subdomain root, so it was landing on Gokapi's GitHub instead of the app. Now/→/admin→ login. Applied to the live demo (config.json edit + restart) and the seed (future deploys). - gokapi: added
app_info.default_creds("Felhasználó: admin · jelszó a Beállítások oldalon") so the app-info page shows the initial admin user like other apps; fixedfirst_steps(no more setup wizard).
2026-06-23 — gokapi reproducible headless setup (fixes public "maintenance mode")
- gokapi: was stuck in "maintenance mode" on the public URL since first deploy — Gokapi's one-time
/setupwizard was never completed, and (verified against the docs + the v1.9.6 binary) no Gokapi version supports env-var headless setup for admin credentials. Worse, the unconfigured/setupwas publicly reachable = an unauthenticated admin-takeover window.- Fix: the compose
entrypointnow seeds aconfig.jsonon first boot (admin user, this app's public URLhttps://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN}/, local storage, Encryption Level 0 so it restarts without a prompt) withPassword/SaltAdmin/SaltFilescleared, then runs Gokapi's documented--deployment-passwordone-shot to set the felhom-generated admin password before the server starts serving. The admin account is claimed at first boot →/setupis never exposed. .felhom.yml: newGOKAPI_PASSWORDdeploy field (type: password,generate: password:24, shown to the customer, locked after deploy). Admin username isadmin.- Seed is pinned to Gokapi v1.9.6 (
ConfigVersion 21) — re-capture the seed if the image is bumped. - Live-validated on guest 9201: fresh remove+redeploy → headless auto-config, public login works, no maintenance page, admin claimed at first boot (browser-verified login).

2026-06-22 — gitea healthcheck fix (unattended test campaign)
- gitea: healthcheck probe repointed
/api/v1/version→/api/healthz(docker HC + controller.felhom.ymlprobe),start_period30s → 90s.- Surfaced during the Phase-2 deploy sweep: a fresh gitea reported
unhealthybecause/api/v1/versionreturns 404 until the install wizard / INSTALL_LOCK completes, while the container was serving fine on :3000 (/api/healthz→ 200). Same class as the komga fix.

2026-06-22 — komga healthcheck fix (unattended test campaign)
- komga: healthcheck probe repointed
/api/v1/actuator/health→/actuator/health.- Root cause: komga's Spring Boot actuator endpoint is served unauthenticated at
/actuator/health(HTTP 200), while everything under the/api/v1prefix is auth-gated — so the old probe got HTTP 401,curl -fexited 22, and the container reportedunhealthydespite serving normally on :25600. Diagnosed live on guest 9201 (probe matrix:/,/actuator/health,/api/v1/oauth2/providers,/loginall 200;/api/v1/actuator/health→ 401). - The
gotson/komga:1.20.0image shipscurl(verified), so the probe tool is unchanged.
