## About Viktor (project owner)

- Works at Magyar Telekom (Budapest), building Felhom as a side business
- Felhom: managed home-server service for Hungarian households
- Technical but prefers pragmatic solutions over over-engineering
- Runs all infrastructure on Gitea (gitea.dooplex.hu), k3s cluster for management
- Customer deployments use Docker Compose (not Kubernetes) for simplicity

## Current project state

### felhom-controller (this repo)
- **Version:** v0.4.1
- **Phase 1:** ✅ COMPLETE — Stack Manager + Deploy Flow
- **Phase 2:** ✅ COMPLETE — Monitoring & Health (scheduler, CPU/temp, healthchecks.io pings)
- **Phase 3:** ✅ COMPLETE — Backups (DB dumps, restic integration, manual trigger)
- **First app deployed:** Paperless-ngx on demo-felhom.eu (2026-02-13)
- **Running on:** demo-felhom (N100 mini PC) at 192.168.0.162:8080
- **All Phase 1-3 features working:** deploy, start/stop/restart/update, logs, health-aware states, auth, monitoring, backups

### What was just completed (2026-02-15 session 11)
- **v0.4.1 — App Filtering + Bugfixes:**
  - **Filter bar on Alkalmazások page**: Four pill-shaped filter buttons (Mind/Futó/Leállítva/Telepíthető) with live count badges computed from DOM. Filters stack cards via `display: none`, updates URL with `?filter=running` via `history.replaceState`. Reads filter from URL on page load for deep-linking support.
  - **New `filterCategory` template function** (`funcmap.go`): Maps container state + deployed flag to filter categories (running/stopped/available). Each stack card gets a `data-filter-state` attribute for client-side filtering.
  - **Clickable dashboard stat cards**: Stat cards (Futó/Leállítva/Összes) changed from `<div>` to `<a>` with `href` linking to `/stacks?filter=running`, `/stacks?filter=stopped`, `/stacks` respectively. Hover effect with translateY + box-shadow.
  - **docker-compose.yml synced to demo node**: Fixed the stale compose file that still had `dashboard.${DOMAIN}` Traefik label (from pre-v0.3.0). Now uses correct `felhom.${DOMAIN}` label + `/sys:/host/sys:ro` mount.
  - **Controller version:** v0.4.1 — deployed and verified on demo-felhom.eu
  - **Remaining manual tasks for Viktor (Task 2 & 3 from TASK.md):**
    - Verify `felhom.demo-felhom.eu` resolves correctly (Cloudflare Tunnel public hostname may need updating from `dashboard.*` to `felhom.*`)
    - Update Pi-hole local DNS if applicable
    - Enable backup in `controller.yaml` on demo node (`backup.enabled: true`)
    - Create `/srv/backups` directories on demo node

### What was previously completed (2026-02-15 session 10)
- **v0.4.0 — Monitoring & Health + Backups (Phase 2 & 3):**
  - **Central job scheduler** (`internal/scheduler/scheduler.go`):
    - Replaces ad-hoc goroutines in main.go with a unified scheduler
    - `Every(name, interval, fn)` for periodic jobs, `Daily(name, timeStr, fn)` for scheduled tasks
    - Panic recovery, skip-if-running, quiet mode for high-frequency jobs (≤30s)
    - Daily jobs use `Europe/Budapest` timezone with `time.Timer` for DST correctness
    - Graceful shutdown with 30s timeout for running jobs
  - **CPU usage collector** (`internal/system/cpu_linux.go`):
    - Background goroutine samples `/proc/stat` every 5s, computes delta-based CPU %
    - Platform stubs for non-Linux in `cpu_other.go`
  - **Temperature & load metrics** (`internal/system/info_linux.go`):
    - Reads `/proc/loadavg` for 1/5/15 min load averages
    - Reads thermal zones from `/host/sys/class/thermal/` (Docker mount) with `/sys/` fallback
    - Handles millidegree values, picks highest zone, with hwmon fallback
  - **Healthchecks.io pinger** (`internal/monitor/pinger.go`):
    - HTTP ping client for Healthchecks.io-compatible endpoints
    - POST to `/ping/{uuid}` (success), `/fail` (failure), `/start` (started)
    - 10s timeout, 3 retries with 2s backoff, skips CHANGEME UUIDs
  - **System health checks** (`internal/monitor/healthcheck.go`):
    - Checks disk, memory, CPU, temperature, Docker reachability, protected containers
    - Returns HealthReport with status "ok"/"warn"/"fail" + formatted message for pings
  - **Database dump engine** (`internal/backup/dbdump.go`):
    - Auto-discovers PostgreSQL/MariaDB containers via `docker ps` + `docker inspect`
    - Dumps via `docker exec pg_dump`/`mariadb-dump` with 5min timeout
    - Atomic writes (`.tmp` → `.sql`), empty file detection, stale temp cleanup
  - **Restic integration** (`internal/backup/restic.go`):
    - Auto-generates repository password (32 random bytes, base64url)
    - Init, snapshot (JSON output), prune, check, stats, latest snapshot
    - Stale lock detection with automatic unlock + retry
  - **Backup orchestrator** (`internal/backup/backup.go`):
    - DB dumps + restic snapshots, weekly prune on Sundays
    - Thread-safe running flag, Healthchecks.io pings with results
    - `RunFullBackup()` for manual trigger (sequential: dumps → snapshot)
  - **Wiring updates:**
    - `main.go`: scheduler-based job registration, cpuCollector lifecycle, pinger + backupMgr init
    - `api/router.go`: `GET /api/backup/status`, `POST /api/backup/run`
    - `web/server.go` + `handlers.go`: pass cpuCollector to GetInfo(), backup status on dashboard
    - `funcmap.go`: `tempColor`, `fmtTemp`, `fmtLoad` template functions
  - **Dashboard UI enhancements:**
    - CPU usage bar with load average display below
    - Temperature with colored indicator dot (green/yellow/red at 60°/75°C)
    - Backup status card: last run time, DB count, repo size/snapshots
    - "Mentés most" button triggers manual backup via API
  - **Config updates:**
    - `controller.yaml.example`: added `system_health_interval`, `hdd_path`, `system.reserved_memory_mb`
    - `docker-compose.yml`: added `/sys:/host/sys:ro` mount for temperature reading
    - `restic_password_file` default changed to `data/` subdir (auto-generated in named volume)
- **Controller version:** v0.4.0 — deployed and verified on demo-felhom.eu

### What was previously completed (2026-02-15 session 9)
- **v0.3.0 — Structural refactoring (templates + server split + domain rename):**
  - **Templates: go:embed migration** — moved all 7 HTML templates + CSS from Go string constants to individual files in `internal/web/templates/`. Created `embed.go` with `//go:embed` directive. Template loading now uses `ParseFS()` instead of `Parse()`. CSS served from embed.FS via `ReadFile()`. Zero runtime file dependencies — still compiled into the binary.
  - **Server decomposition** — split monolithic `server.go` (540 lines) into focused files:
    - `auth.go`: session struct, auth middleware, login/logout handlers, session management
    - `handlers.go`: page handlers (dashboard, stacks, logs, deploy, app detail)
    - `funcmap.go`: template FuncMap with 14 custom functions
    - `server.go`: Server struct, NewServer, loadTemplates (3-liner), ServeHTTP routing, render helper, static file serving
  - **Domain rename** — controller subdomain changed from `dashboard.*` to `felhom.*` in Traefik labels and setup script
  - **Documentation updated** — CLAUDE.md, README.md, CONTEXT.md all reflect new file structure
  - **Reminder for Viktor:** Update Cloudflare Tunnel public hostname (`dashboard.demo-felhom.eu` → `felhom.demo-felhom.eu`) and Pi-hole DNS if needed
- **Controller version:** v0.3.0

### What was previously completed (2026-02-15 session 8)
- **FileBrowser as infrastructure service:**
  - Created `scripts/hdd-setup.sh` (adapted from deploy-portainer) — sets up HDD folder structure with `Dokumentumok` user dir
  - Created `scripts/docker-setup.sh` (adapted from deploy-portainer) — installs Docker, Traefik, FileBrowser as infra services
  - Added `filebrowser` to protected stacks in `controller.yaml.example`
  - Removed `templates/filebrowser/` from app-catalog-felhom.eu (no longer a catalog app)
- **Orphan stack detection and deletion:**
  - Added `Orphaned` field to Stack struct + `getCatalogTemplateSlugs()` helper
  - Orphan detection in `ScanStacks()` — deployed stacks with no matching catalog template marked as orphaned
  - New `delete.go`: `DeleteStack()` (compose down + HDD cleanup + dir removal), `GetStackHDDData()`, `parseComposeHDDMounts()`
  - Safety: protected HDD paths (root, media, storage, Dokumentumok, appdata) can never be deleted
  - New API endpoints: `DELETE /api/stacks/{name}` and `GET /api/stacks/{name}/hdd-data`
  - UI: orange "Elavult" badge on orphaned stacks, "Törlés" button, delete confirmation modal
  - Modal shows HDD data paths/sizes, checkbox for "Felhasználói adatok törlése a merevlemezről"
  - Hides "Frissítés" and "Részletek" buttons for orphaned stacks
- **Verified:** 1 orphaned stack detected on startup (filebrowser — now infra, removed from catalog)
- **Controller version:** v0.2.15

### Previously completed (2026-02-14 session 7)
- **Fixed YAML parse error in romm `.felhom.yml`** (app-catalog repo):
  - Root cause: Hungarian opening quote `„` (U+201E) paired with ASCII `"` (0x22) inside YAML double-quoted strings terminated the string prematurely
  - Affected lines: `help_text` for IGDB Client Secret and SteamGridDB API Key fields
  - Fix: escaped inner ASCII double quotes with `\"` in the YAML strings
  - This caused `LoadMetadata()` to silently fail and return empty defaults for ALL romm metadata (tagline, resources, category — everything)
- **Added error logging to `LoadMetadata()`** in `metadata.go`:
  - `[ERROR]` log on YAML parse failure (was silently swallowed — critical bug)
  - Temporary `[DEBUG]` log used for diagnosis, then removed
- **Fixed deploy command in CLAUDE.md**:
  - `sed` pattern now targets only `image:` lines (was matching service name too, breaking YAML)
  - Added `sudo` for both sed and docker compose (directory is root-owned)
- **Controller version:** v0.2.14

### Previously completed (2026-02-14 session 6)
- **Bug fix: App info logo SVG rendering** — `.app-info-logo` CSS in `templates.go`:
  - Added `min-width`, `min-height`, `max-width`, `max-height: 80px` and `overflow: hidden`
  - Prevents SVG images with explicit dimensions or no viewBox from overflowing container
  - Logo now reliably renders at 80x80 regardless of SVG intrinsic size
- **Controller version:** v0.2.12

### Previously completed (2026-02-14 session 5)
- **App detail/info pages** — new feature:
  - New route: `GET /apps/{slug}` renders a full info page (was redirect to deploy page)
  - Hero section with logo, tagline, resource badges
  - Screenshots section (graceful — hidden via `onerror` if assets don't exist)
  - Info cards: use cases, first steps, prerequisites, default credentials, docs link
  - Optional config form with AJAX save (POST `/api/stacks/{name}/optional-config`)
  - New `.felhom.yml` fields: `app_info` (tagline, use_cases, first_steps, prerequisites, default_creds, docs_url) and `optional_config` (groups of env var fields)
  - New structs in `metadata.go`: `AppInfo`, `OptionalConfigGroup`, `OptionalConfigField`
  - `UpdateOptionalConfig` in `deploy.go`: saves optional env vars to `app.yaml`, restarts deployed stacks with `docker compose up -d` to pick up new env vars
  - Navigation updated: stack cards on dashboard/stacks pages now link to `/apps/{slug}`, deploy page has "Részletek" link back to info page
- **RoMM metadata updated** (app-catalog repo):
  - Full `app_info` section: tagline, 5 use cases, 6 first steps, 3 prerequisites, default creds, docs URL
  - 6 optional config fields for metadata providers: IGDB (client_id + secret), SteamGridDB, ScreenScraper (user + password), MobyGames
  - docker-compose.yml updated with SCREENSCRAPER_USER, SCREENSCRAPER_PASSWORD, MOBYGAMES_API_KEY env vars
  - Display name fixed: "ROMM" → "RomM"
- **Controller version:** v0.2.11

### Previously completed (2026-02-14 session 4)
- **Fixed deploy race condition** in `internal/stacks/deploy.go`:
  - In-memory `Deployed` flag now set BEFORE `docker compose up -d` (compose up can take 30-60s for image pulls)
  - On failure: both in-memory state and disk (app.yaml) are reverted
  - Eliminates stale "Telepítés" button during long compose operations
- **Added `checkBeforeDeploy()` JS guard** in `internal/web/templates.go`:
  - Telepítés buttons on Vezérlőpult and Alkalmazások pages now fetch live state from `/api/stacks/{name}` before navigating
  - If app is already deployed (e.g., another tab deployed it), shows alert and reloads page instead of navigating to deploy form
  - Catches stale UI state gracefully

### Previously completed (2026-02-14 session 3)
- **Enhanced debug logging** across all stack operations in `internal/stacks/`:
  - **Operation timing**: All stack ops (start, stop, restart, update, deploy) now log elapsed time
  - **Post-start container state check**: Async goroutine after start/restart/update/deploy
  - **Image pull detection**: Checks local images before deploy/update (debug level)
  - **GetLogs/ScanStacks improvements**: Byte count logging, deployed/available counts
  - All verbose checks gated on `cfg.Logging.Level == "debug"`; timing always at INFO
- **UI improvements** in `internal/web/templates.go` and `server.go`:
  - **Memory bar fix on deploy page**: Bar segments now always visible (min-width: 3px), new app segment uses translucent green with distinct border for clear visual separation from committed memory
  - **Clickable app cards**: Cards on Vezérlőpult and Alkalmazások pages are now clickable (navigates to deploy/detail page). Uses `data-href` attribute + delegated click handler. Protected stacks excluded. Actions area (buttons, state labels) excluded from click-to-navigate
  - **Live-scrolling logs**: Logs page now auto-refreshes every 3s via AJAX polling (`?raw=1` returns plain text). Fixed-height container (70vh) with auto-scroll to bottom. Pulsing green "Élő" indicator. Pause/resume toggle ("Szüneteltetés"/"Folytatás"). User scroll position preserved when scrolled up to read history
  - **Deployment progress UI**: Deploy button no longer shows alert+redirect immediately. Instead shows 3-step progress panel: config saved → containers starting → app initializing. Polls `GET /api/stacks/{name}` every 3s to track actual container health state. Handles running (auto-redirect), starting (keep polling), unhealthy (warning), exited (error), and 120s timeout. Shows elapsed time counter
- **Mealie healthcheck fix** (app-catalog-felhom.eu):
  - `wget --spider` replaced with Python TCP socket check — mealie image doesn't include wget
  - `start_period` increased to 60s (DB migrations take ~40s on first start)
- **Healthcheck audit**: filebrowser (Alpine, has BusyBox wget — OK), stirling-pdf (Ubuntu, has wget — OK)

### Previously completed (2026-02-15 session 2)
- **Phase 4: Git Sync + App Catalog Audit** — major milestone
- **Git sync module** (`internal/sync/sync.go`):
  - Clones/pulls app-catalog-felhom.eu repo to local cache on startup
  - Periodic sync based on `git.sync_interval` (default 15m)
  - Copies `docker-compose.yml` + `.felhom.yml` to stacks dir (never overwrites `app.yaml`/`.env`)
  - SHA-256 content comparison — only writes changed files
  - Triggers `ScanStacks()` after sync so dashboard updates immediately
  - Uses `os/exec` git CLI — no Go git library dependency
- **Manual sync button** ("Sablonok frissítése") on Alkalmazások page:
  - `POST /api/sync` endpoint with 30s debounce
  - Toast notification shows result (success/failure/what changed)
  - Auto-reloads page if new apps or updates detected
- **Sync status** added to `/api/system/info` (last_sync, last_status, syncing flag)
- **.felhom.yml files created for all 10 apps** (paperless-ngx already had one):
  - actualbudget, docmost, filebrowser, homebox, immich, mealie, romm, stirling-pdf, vaultwarden
  - All follow the same format: display_name, description, category, subdomain, resources, deploy_fields
- **Docker Compose templates audited and fixed** for all 10 apps:
  - Fixed `{{DOMAIN}}` → `${DOMAIN}` syntax in homebox, mealie, romm, stirling-pdf
  - Fixed `{{HDD_PATH}}` → `${HDD_PATH}` in romm
  - Added `deploy.resources.limits.memory` to all services across all templates
  - Added `TZ=Europe/Budapest` to all sidecar services (postgres, redis, mariadb)
  - Added healthcheck to romm main service
  - Added `romm-redis` `condition: service_healthy` (was `service_started`)
  - Standardized header comment blocks across all templates
- **Documentation updated**: app-catalog README, CLAUDE.md, CONTEXT.md

### Previously completed (2026-02-15 session 1)
- **Memory validation during deployment**:
  - Pre-deploy memory check: compares `mem_request` sum against usable system RAM
  - Hard block if requests exceed usable memory (total - 384MB reserved)
  - Soft warning if `mem_limit` sum exceeds total RAM (overcommit OK for limits)
  - `ParseMemoryMB()` supports "500M", "1G", "1.5G", "1024" formats
  - `CommittedMemory()` sums requests/limits across all deployed stacks
  - Memory summary bar shown on deploy page before user clicks deploy
  - `system.reserved_memory_mb` configurable in controller.yaml (default: 384)
- **Display: `~` prefix on mem_request** in UI badges (display-only, exact value stored)
- **Felhom.eu logo** replaced text logos in sidebar and login page with actual SVG logo
  - Logo SVG embedded as Go string constant, served at `/static/felhom-logo.svg`

### Previously completed (2026-02-14)
- **System info bar on Vezérlőpult dashboard**: RAM, SSD, and optional HDD usage
  - Progress bars with color coding (green < 70%, yellow 70-85%, red > 85%)
  - New `internal/system` package reads `/proc/meminfo` + `syscall.Statfs`
  - Platform-specific: Linux impl + non-Linux stub (build tags)
  - Hungarian labels: "Memória", "SSD tárhely", "Külső HDD"
- **Docker Compose memory limits** on paperless-ngx template:
  - paperless-webserver: 768M, postgres: 256M, redis: 128M
  - Added `mem_limit` field to `.felhom.yml` ResourceHints (total: 1152M)
- **`/api/system/info` endpoint** now returns live system metrics (was customer info)
- **Config**: Added `paths.hdd_path` for external HDD monitoring
- Controller image builds via build.sh, pushes to Gitea container registry

### Previously completed (2026-02-13)
- Built the entire felhom-controller from scratch (Go, no frameworks)
- Debugged and fixed 7 issues during first real deployment:
  1. Password validation (empty passwords accepted)
  2. In-memory Deployed flag not updating after deploy
  3. Health-aware state parsing (starting/unhealthy detection)
  4. Random card ordering (Go map iteration)
  5. "Részletek" button redirect for deployed apps
  6. Paperless OCR language installation (LANGUAGES vs LANGUAGE env var)
  7. Documentation: restart vs up -d for image updates

### What's next (priorities)
1. **Configure Healthchecks.io UUIDs** on demo-felhom.eu (replace CHANGEME in controller.yaml)
2. **Test backup flow** — trigger manual backup via dashboard, verify restic repo + DB dumps
3. **Test orphan delete flow** — try deleting the orphaned filebrowser stack via the UI
4. Add `app_info` + `optional_config` to more apps (start with Immich, Mealie, Vaultwarden)
5. Deploy a second app (e.g., ActualBudget — simplest, or Immich — tests HDD + secrets)
6. Add app screenshots to the asset pipeline (romm-screenshot-1.webp etc.)
7. Test on Raspberry Pi (pi-customer-1)
8. Add `paths.hdd_path` to demo-felhom controller.yaml to enable HDD bar
9. Phase 4: Self-update mechanism

## Architecture decisions

| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Go stdlib for web (no Gin/Echo) | Minimal dependencies, single binary, easy to embed templates |
| Templates as go:embed HTML/CSS files | Zero runtime file dependencies (compiled into binary), but each template is a separate editable file |
| Docker Compose for customers (not k8s) | Simpler troubleshooting, customers don't need k8s knowledge |
| k3s for management infra only | Viktor's own services (gitea, monitoring, website) run on k3s |
| Cloudflare Tunnel for remote access | No port forwarding needed, works behind any NAT |
| app.yaml per stack | Separates deploy config from compose files, survives git pulls |
| Password fields require explicit input | Prevents accidental empty-password deployments |
| Health-aware state from Docker Status field | Docker's State says "running" even for unhealthy containers |
| Memory limits via deploy.resources.limits | Prevents runaway containers; ~50% headroom over expected usage |
| System info from /proc/meminfo + statfs | No external dependencies, cheap to read on each page load |
| mem_request vs mem_limit (K8s-inspired) | Requests = expected usage (hard block), limits = peak (overcommit OK) |
| 384MB reserved for system | Prevents deploying apps that would starve the OS/controller |
| Logo SVG embedded as Go constant | Same approach as CSS/HTML — zero external file deps |
| Git sync via os/exec git CLI | No Go git library needed, git is in the container image |
| SHA-256 for content comparison | Only copy changed files, avoid unnecessary disk writes |
| 30s debounce on manual sync | Prevents spamming the git server |
| Orphan = deployed but not in catalog | Safe lifecycle: remove from catalog → mark orphaned → user deletes via UI |
| FileBrowser as infra (not catalog) | Needed even after apps deleted (user browses HDD data); deployed by setup script |
| Protected HDD paths | Safety net: never delete top-level HDD dirs (media, storage, Dokumentumok, appdata) |
| Central scheduler (not ad-hoc goroutines) | Single place to register/monitor all periodic tasks, graceful shutdown, skip-if-running |
| CPU sampling via background goroutine | /proc/stat delta needs two readings — collector runs every 5s, GetInfo() reads cached value |
| Temperature from /host/sys (Docker mount) | Container can't read host /sys directly — mount /sys:/host/sys:ro, try /host/sys first |
| Restic password auto-generated | No manual setup needed — generated on first backup run, stored in named volume |
| DB discovery via docker inspect | No config needed — discovers postgres/mariadb containers by image name + env vars |
| Backup orchestrator with running flag | Prevents concurrent backups, supports both scheduled and manual trigger |

## Gotchas & lessons learned

- `docker compose restart` ≠ `docker compose up -d` — restart doesn't pick up new images
- Go maps have random iteration order — always sort slices before displaying
- Docker `.State`="running" doesn't mean healthy — check `.Status` for "(health: starting)" / "(unhealthy)"
- Paperless-ngx needs `PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGES` (plural) to install language packs, `PAPERLESS_OCR_LANGUAGE` (singular) to select
- In-memory Deployed flag must be set BEFORE `docker compose up -d` (not after) — compose can take 30-60s for image pulls, during which the UI would show a stale "Telepítés" button
- Cloudflare Tunnel handles *.demo-felhom.eu → Traefik handles Host()-based routing to containers
- BIOS "AC Power Recovery" must be enabled on N100 for auto-restart after power outage
- `docker compose up -d` returns exit 0 even when containers immediately crash-loop — need post-start status check to detect this
- When logging env vars for debugging, only log keys (not values) to avoid leaking secrets in log files
- Mealie image (`ghcr.io/mealie-recipes/mealie`) doesn't include wget/curl — use Python TCP socket check for healthcheck
- Mealie DB migrations on first start take ~40s (alembic) — use `start_period: 60s` to avoid premature unhealthy status
- Alpine-based images (filebrowser, vaultwarden) have wget via BusyBox — healthchecks with `wget --spider` work fine
- Deploy `sed` command to update image version must target only the `image:` line — naive `sed 's|name:OLD|name:NEW|'` also matches the service name line (e.g., `felhom-controller:` → `felhom-controller:0.2.12`), breaking YAML. Use `sudo sed -i 's|image:.*felhom-controller:[^ ]*|image: ...felhom-controller:NEW|'` or similar scoped pattern
- Hungarian quotation marks `„"` in YAML: `„` (U+201E) is safe inside YAML double-quoted strings, but the closing `"` must NOT be ASCII `"` (0x22) — it terminates the YAML string. Use `\"` escape or Unicode `"` (U+201D). This caused a silent parse failure for the entire `.felhom.yml` file
- Never silently swallow parse errors — always log them. Silent failures make debugging impossible (took a dedicated debug session to find a simple quoting issue)
