Changelog

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/data is 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, while gramps_data was tarred nightly as an empty directory. Now persists the eight paths the image's own environment names, matching upstream's reference compose.
• wishlist — mounted wishlist_data:/data, another path the app never writes. prod.db went into the anonymous volume docker creates for the image's VOLUME /usr/src/app/data directive. Anonymous volumes are absent from ResolveDockerVolumeNames, so DumpAppVolumes never backs them up, and compose down + up orphans them — a store that survives a restart, loses on redeploy and is never in a backup. Now mounts /usr/src/app/data and /usr/src/app/uploads per 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-it returns to templates/ with lifecycle: abandoned — the first user of the mechanism, and the case that motivated it. Its compose is deliberately unchanged: it pins msdeluise/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; --all includes 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, curl on PATH.
• flomp/wanderer-db:v0.20.0 — PocketBase, port 8090. Built FROM scratch: 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/plugins on 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, default hike-db). PUBLIC_POCKETBASE_URL is 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_limit 384M → 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 inspect prints toomanyrequests: … and still exits 0 — the same exits-0-on-failure shape as the ISO tooling's validate-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-alpine and redis: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 unhealthy container, 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 (--spider sends HEAD, endpoint answers 405 to HEAD / 200 to GET), zipline (v4 renamed /api/health → /api/healthcheck), tandoor (start_period too short for gunicorn).
• 5 apps that had NEVER been deployable and were fixed: papra (missing required AUTH_SECRET, now a generated data_key secret), zipline (v4 CORE_DATABASE_URL → DATABASE_URL), wishlist (dead Docker Hub image → followed upstream to ghcr.io/cmintey/wishlist:v0.66.0), homebox (upstream dropped the v tag prefix + new required HBOX_AUTH_API_KEY_PEPPER), wger (2.6 needs the full DJANGO_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_limit sum 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/master AND 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.json carries 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_mapping with tls_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_mapping with tls_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) image v4.8.7→v4.6.9 (the pinned tag has no published image); (2) added required DATABASE_DIRECT_URL (Prisma migrate deploy fails 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 :2526 plaintext-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 via GITEA__mailer__PROTOCOL=smtp+starttls + FORCE_TRUST_SERVER_CERT=true to trust the shim's self-signed cert; single GITEA__mailer__FROM). Compose references the injected GITEA__mailer__* keys; env applied every boot.
• rallly — added smtp_mapping (Nodemailer STARTTLS, SMTP_SECURE=false + SMTP_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false to accept the self-signed cert; single NOREPLY_EMAIL). Also fixed three pre-existing template bugs that made rallly undeployable (never caught because the bad pin never ran): (1) image pin 3.12.1 doesn't exist → 3.11.2; (2) healthcheck used wget, absent from the rallly image (exit 127) → container unhealthy → Traefik wouldn't route it → replaced with a Node http check; (3) added required SUPPORT_EMAIL + a valid NOREPLY_EMAIL default (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 (From rallly@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:true with 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_var mapping can't express.
  • immich v2.5.5 — no SMTP env vars at all; config is admin-UI/DB or an IMMICH_CONFIG_FILE JSON. Does not fit env-injection; left for a future config-file-injection mechanism (or manual admin-UI setup).

2026-06-29 — App-email: smtp_mapping for Vaultwarden + Mealie

• Added the smtp_mapping block to templates/vaultwarden/.felhom.yml and templates/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 injects SMTP_* 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=true to 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.
• Both docker-compose.yml files now reference the injected ${SMTP_*} keys (with harmless defaults) so the values reach the container; empty SMTP_HOST keeps mail disabled when the toggle is off.
• Documented the smtp_mapping pattern in README.md so 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+/uploads internally) + 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's fitness to 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) — separate DB_PASSWORD/APP_DB_PASSWORD. PGDATA in a pgdata subdir of the named volume. Four auto-generated, locked_after_deploy secrets; API_ENCRYPTION_KEY + BETTER_AUTH_SECRET carry data_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/health probe (node present); frontend keeps the wget --spider probe (both wget and curl present). 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 + sparkyapp role created + RLS applied, no crash loop, no uploads EACCES; GET /api/health through the public edge returns {"status":"UP"}; login/register page serves over a valid TLS cert at https://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, default java -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). No network_mode: host (would break Traefik routing). Bedrock UDP 19132 intentionally out of scope.
• App-page guidance (.felhom.yml first_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 192.168.0.121 reaches the real Crafty "test" server on 25565 (TCP OPEN + Minecraft SLP handshake returns JSON status); :25575 reachable, :25600 closed (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_data row + 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_PASSWORD deploy field (type: password, generate: password:24, locked after deploy — mirrors gokapi's GOKAPI_PASSWORD). The compose entrypoint overwrites the default.json template with this password before the launcher runs; on fresh install Crafty creates the admin user with it.
  • initial_credentials.file repointed default-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).

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.txt at first boot (its built-in default is rejected as "too short"). Customers had to read the container logs to find it. Added an initial_credentials block (new general felhom-controller v0.84.0 mechanism): file + format: json + username_key/password_key + a note. 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_steps to 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://…:8443 to Crafty's HTTPS-only self-signed backend (Crafty serves no plain-HTTP panel; :8000 only 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 global insecureSkipVerify). The @file suffix 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-verify transport). port=8443 and 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 the crafty-4:4.4.8 image has no curl and no wget (exec: "curl": not found, FailingStreak 150). Replaced with a dependency-free python3 TLS-socket liveness probe (/usr/bin/python3 is present): completes a TLS handshake to 127.0.0.1:8443 (unverified context mirrors the old -k; Crafty's cert is self-signed). start_period 30s → 60s for cold-boot headroom (cert gen + migrations).
  • Controller-side probe (.felhom.yml healthcheck.checks) was type: http against Crafty's TLS-only 8443 → probeHTTP sent plaintext HTTP, got a TLS record → HealthProbe.Healthy=false, which manager.go re-applies to override Docker's verdict back to unhealthy. Changed http → tcp (probeTCP dial succeeds against a TLS listener). Both layers had to change together.
  • Live-validated on guest 9201 (demo-felhom): synced → recreated via the update path → Docker State.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://…:8443 to Crafty's HTTPS-only backend. Needs a Traefik HTTPS-backend + self-signed serversTransport (insecureSkipVerify) in the controller-generated Traefik config — tracked separately.

2026-06-23 — gokapi: index redirect + admin username display

• gokapi: seed RedirectUrl repointed from Gokapi's GitHub default → https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN}/admin. Gokapi's bare root / redirects to RedirectUrl; 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; fixed first_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 /setup wizard 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 /setup was publicly reachable = an unauthenticated admin-takeover window.
  • Fix: the compose entrypoint now seeds a config.json on first boot (admin user, this app's public URL https://${SUBDOMAIN}.${DOMAIN}/, local storage, Encryption Level 0 so it restarts without a prompt) with Password/SaltAdmin/SaltFiles cleared, then runs Gokapi's documented --deployment-password one-shot to set the felhom-generated admin password before the server starts serving. The admin account is claimed at first boot → /setup is never exposed.
  • .felhom.yml: new GOKAPI_PASSWORD deploy field (type: password, generate: password:24, shown to the customer, locked after deploy). Admin username is admin.
  • 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.yml probe), start_period 30s → 90s.
  • Surfaced during the Phase-2 deploy sweep: a fresh gitea reported unhealthy because /api/v1/version returns 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/v1 prefix is auth-gated — so the old probe got HTTP 401, curl -f exited 22, and the container reported unhealthy despite serving normally on :25600. Diagnosed live on guest 9201 (probe matrix: /, /actuator/health, /api/v1/oauth2/providers, /login all 200; /api/v1/actuator/health → 401).
  • The gotson/komga:1.20.0 image ships curl (verified), so the probe tool is unchanged.
