### Key Architecture Decisions
- **Pure Go, no frameworks** — stdlib `net/http` + `html/template`. Only external deps: `bcrypt`, `yaml.v3`, `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go, no CGO).
- **Privileged container** — Required for disk operations (format, mount, fstab), `/dev` access, and Docker socket control.
- **`/host-dev` indirection** — Docker overrides `/dev` with a tmpfs. The host's `/dev` is mounted at `/host-dev` to access block devices.
- **`StackDataProvider` interface** — Breaks circular import between backup and stacks packages. Implemented by `stackAdapter` in `main.go`. Provides `GetStackHDDPath()` for per-drive backup routing.
- **Atomic file writes** — All persistent state (`settings.json`, `app.yaml`) written to `.tmp` then `os.Rename` for crash safety.
- **`go:embed` templates** — All HTML/CSS/JS compiled into the binary. No runtime file dependencies.
- **Europe/Budapest timezone** — All scheduled jobs, timestamps, and UI labels use Hungarian timezone.

## Features
### 1. App Management
The controller manages Docker Compose stacks through a complete lifecycle: catalog sync, first-time deployment, runtime operations, and deletion.
#### Git Sync (`internal/sync/`)
The app catalog lives in a separate Git repository. The controller:
- Shallow-clones the catalog on startup
- Periodically fetches updates (configurable, default 15 min)
- Copies only `docker-compose.yml` and `.felhom.yml` to the stacks directory
- **Never overwrites** `app.yaml` or `.env` (user secrets are safe)
- Uses SHA-256 content hashing — only writes files that actually changed
- Triggers stack rescan after sync so the dashboard updates immediately
- Manual sync via "Sablonok frissitese" button or `POST /api/sync`
#### First-Time Deploy Flow
1. Customer sees app card with "Telepites" button
2. Deploy page shows auto-filled fields (domain), auto-generated secrets (DB passwords, hex keys), and user-configurable inputs (admin password, language, storage path)
3. `checkBeforeDeploy()` JS guard fetches live state first (prevents double-deploy from another tab)
4. **Memory validation** checks `mem_request` against available RAM:
- `usable_memory = total_ram - reserved_memory_mb` (default 384MB reserved)
- Hard block if requests exceed usable memory
- Soft warning if limits exceed total RAM (overcommit OK)
5. Controller generates secrets, saves `app.yaml`, sets in-memory `Deployed` flag **before** `docker compose up -d` (avoids stale UI during slow image pulls), reverts on failure
6. 3-step progress panel polls `GET /api/stacks/{name}` every 3s: config saved → containers starting → health check passed
7. Post-deploy: locked fields (DB_PASSWORD, etc.) become read-only
#### App Info Pages
Each app can define rich metadata in `.felhom.yml`:
- `app_info`: tagline, use_cases, first_steps, prerequisites, default_creds, docs_url
- `optional_config`: groups of post-deploy configurable env vars (e.g., API keys for metadata providers)
- `resources`: mem_request, mem_limit, pi_compatible, needs_hdd
The `/apps/{slug}` page renders hero section, screenshots, setup guide, and optional config form.
#### Stack Operations
| Operation | What it does |
|-----------|-------------|
| Start | `docker compose up -d` |
| Stop | `docker compose stop` (blocked for protected stacks) |
| Restart | `docker compose restart` |
| Update | `docker compose pull` + `docker compose up -d` |
| Delete | `docker compose down --rmi local --volumes` + optional HDD data cleanup |
**Protected stacks** (traefik, cloudflared, felhom-controller) cannot be stopped or deleted from the UI. Restart is allowed.
**Orphan detection**: Deployed stacks with no matching catalog template are marked as orphaned with an "Elavult" badge and can be safely deleted.
#### Container State Display
| State | Color | Label | Meaning |
|-------|-------|-------|---------|
| Running + healthy | Green | "Fut" | All containers running and healthy |
| Running + starting | Orange | "Indulas..." | Healthcheck not yet passed |
| Running + unhealthy | Yellow | "Nem egeszseges" | Healthcheck failing |
| Stopped/exited | Red | "Leallitva" | All containers stopped |
| Restarting | Yellow | "Ujrainditas..." | Restart loop |
| Not deployed | Gray | "Nincs telepitve" | Compose file exists, not deployed |
---
### 2. Backup System
The backup system implements a **3-2-1 backup architecture**. Each tier is a **complete,
self-sufficient backup** — any single tier can fully restore an app.
| Tier | Contents | Location | Can fully restore? |
|------|----------|----------|--------------------|
| **1. Nightly restic** | DB + Config + User data | Same drive as app | Yes (not against drive failure) |
| **2. Cross-drive** | DB + Config + User data | Different physical device | Yes |
| **3. Remote** | Everything | Cloud / remote server | Future |
**Key principles:**
- User data backup is **mandatory** — every app with HDD bind mounts is included
automatically. There is no per-app toggle.
- Each tier includes **everything** needed to restore: DB dumps, config, and user data.
No tier depends on another tier's data.
- **Tier 2 is configurable for ALL apps** — not just apps with HDD data. Non-HDD apps
back up config + DB dumps to the secondary drive (small but protects against drive failure).
- The `AppBackupPrefs.Enabled` field in settings.json is legacy and not read by any code.
**Per-app Tier 2 contents by app type:**
| App type | Tier 2 contents | Example |
|----------|----------------|---------|
| HDD + DB | Config + DB + User data | Immich, Paperless-ngx |
| HDD, no DB | Config + User data | — |
| DB, no HDD | Config + DB | Mealie, Vikunja |
| Config only | Config | Gokapi, Homepage |
#### Tier 1: Nightly Backup (mandatory, same drive)
The nightly backup has two phases that run sequentially. All paths are **per-drive** — each physical drive gets its own restic repo and per-app DB dump directories.
**Drive layout (v0.14.1):**
```
<drive>/
├── appdata/<app>/ ← app user data
└── backups/
└── primary/
├── restic/ ← one restic repo per drive (all apps on this drive)
└── <app>/db-dumps/ ← per-app DB dump files
```
Path computation is centralized in `backup/paths.go`:
- `PrimaryResticRepoPath(drivePath)``<drive>/backups/primary/restic/`
- `AppDBDumpPath(drivePath, stackName)``<drive>/backups/primary/<stack>/db-dumps/`
- `AppDataDir(drivePath, stackName)``<drive>/appdata/<stack>/`
- `SecondaryInfraPath(drivePath)``<drive>/backups/secondary/_infra/`
**Phase 1 — Database Dumps** (`internal/backup/dbdump.go`, scheduled 02:30)
- **Auto-discovery** of PostgreSQL and MariaDB containers via `docker ps` + `docker inspect`
- Dumps via `docker exec pg_dump` / `docker exec mariadb-dump` with 5-minute timeout
- Dumps are written to the app's **home drive**: `AppDBDumpPath(appDrive, stackName)`
- Atomic writes (`.tmp``.sql`) to prevent corruption
- **Validation** after each dump: checks file size, header presence, counts `CREATE TABLE`
- Results cached in `settings.json` surviving container restarts
**Phase 2 — Restic Snapshot** (`internal/backup/restic.go`, scheduled 03:00)
- Apps are **grouped by drive** via `groupStacksByDrive()` — each drive's apps are backed up to that drive's restic repo
- App drive resolution: `GetStackHDDPath()` (from `StackDataProvider`) → falls back to `SystemDataPath`
- Auto-generated repository password (32 random bytes, base64url), shared across all repos, synced to hub
- **Paths included in every per-drive snapshot:**
- Per-app DB dump dirs on that drive
- Per-app HDD mount paths (user data)
- Stacks dir (compose.yml + app.yaml + .felhom.yml for all apps)
- `controller.yaml` (controller config)
- Auto-detects and unlocks stale locks (restic repo lock)
- Weekly prune on Sundays with configurable retention (keep-daily, keep-weekly, keep-monthly)
- Weekly integrity check (`restic check`) on Sunday 04:00 — checks **all** primary repos
**Protects against:** accidental deletion, data corruption, point-in-time rollback.
Does NOT protect against drive failure (backup is on the same physical drive).
#### Tier 2: Cross-Drive Backup (opt-in, different device) (`internal/backup/crossdrive.go`)
**Complete backup** to a different physical drive. Available for **all apps** — apps with HDD
data back up config + DB + user data; apps without HDD back up config + DB dumps only.
- **Auto-enable for small apps (v0.14.1):** Apps without HDD mounts (config-only, DB-only) are
automatically configured for daily rsync Tier 2 when ≥2 storage paths are registered.
`AutoEnableSmallApps()` runs at the start of each nightly backup cycle. Never overwrites
existing user-configured cross-drive settings (even disabled ones).
- **Infrastructure config backup (v0.14.1):** `syncInfraConfig()` rsyncs the stacks directory
and `controller.yaml` to `<dest>/backups/secondary/_infra/` on every secondary destination
drive. Runs before per-app backups. Cross-drive restic also includes infra paths.
- **Two methods:**
- **rsync** — Simple mirror with `--delete` (fast, no versioning, **browsable** on disk)
- **restic** — Versioned, deduplicated, encrypted (shared repo across apps, not browsable)
- Per-app configuration in settings.json: destination path, method, schedule (daily/weekly/manual)
- **Pre-backup DB dump:** `DumpStackDB()` runs fresh pg_dump/mariadb-dump before each cross-drive backup; non-fatal on failure (wired via `DBDumper` interface to avoid circular imports)
- **Empty mounts allowed:** `RunAppBackup` accepts apps with no HDD mounts — the rsync
mount loop simply doesn't execute, but DB + config copy still runs
- **Drive-type-aware validation** (`ValidateDestination`):
| Destination type | Space checks |
|-----------------|--------------|
| External mount (different device than `/`) | Block if <100 MB free |
| System drive (same device as `/`) | Require ≥10 GB free AND <90% used; logged warning |
- **Secondary drive layout (v0.14.1):**
```
<dest-drive>/backups/secondary/
├── _infra/ ← infrastructure config mirror (v0.14.1)
│ ├── controller.yaml
│ └── stacks/ ← full stacks dir (all app configs)
├── <app>/rsync/ ← per-app rsync mirror
│ ├── _db/ ← DB dump files
│ ├── _config/ ← compose.yml, app.yaml, .felhom.yml
│ └── <user data> ← HDD mount contents (if app has HDD data)
└── restic/ ← shared restic repo (all cross-drive apps)
```
- DB dump files read from **per-app home drive** path (`AppDBDumpPath`)
- `_` prefix directories prevent collision with user data
- For non-HDD apps, only `_db/` and `_config/` are present (no user data directory)
- **Restic backup paths:** includes HDD mounts (if any) + config dir + per-app DB dump dir from home drive + stacks dir + controller.yaml (infra, v0.14.1)
- Safety guards: destination ≠ source, path-overlap check (HDD mounts only), writable check
- **Chained execution:** runs immediately after nightly restic — daily apps every night, weekly apps on Sundays
- Per-app concurrency lock prevents overlapping runs
- Status (last_run, duration, size, error) persisted to settings.json
**Protects against:** primary drive failure, drive theft/damage.
#### Tier 3: Remote Backup (future)
Complete offsite backup for disaster recovery. Not yet implemented.
Placeholder shown in UI ("3. mentés — Hamarosan").
#### Restore (`internal/backup/restore.go`)
All deployed apps appear in the restore dropdown — every app has restic snapshot data
(stacks dir + DB dumps are always backed up).
| App type | Config restored | DB restored | User data restored |
|----------|----------------|------------|-------------------|
| Has HDD data | Yes | Yes | Yes (always — backup is mandatory) |
| DB only, no HDD | Yes | Yes | n/a |
| No DB, no HDD | Yes | — | n/a |
- **Snapshot API** returns ALL snapshots unfiltered — older snapshots still allow config+DB restore; `RestoreApp` extracts whatever paths are available
- **Restore type info** shown per-app when selected in dropdown (Hungarian banners):
- Has HDD: "Teljes visszaállitas: adatbazis + konfiguracio + felhasznaloi adatok"
- Has DB, no HDD: "Adatbazis es konfiguracio visszaallitasa"
- No DB, no HDD: "Csak konfiguracio visszaallitasa"
- **Execution flow:** stop app → resolve app's home drive → `restic restore <id> --target / --include <path>...` from per-drive repo → restart app
- Restic repo resolved via `PrimaryResticRepoPath(appDrivePath)`
- DB dumps restored from `AppDBDumpPath(appDrivePath, stackName)`
- Running flag prevents concurrent backup/restore operations
- Snapshot ID validated (8-64 lowercase hex)
**Note:** Restore currently uses Tier 1 (primary restic repo on app's home drive) only.
Restoring from Tier 2 (cross-drive) is a future enhancement.
#### Backup Page UI (`internal/web/templates/backups.html`)
Unified per-app status table with expandable rows showing **per-tier** backup status:
**Status dot per app:**
| Dot color | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| Green | 2+ tiers configured with successful backups + destination healthy |
| Yellow | Only 1 tier, or Tier 2 failing, or Tier 2 configured but never run |
| Red | Tier 2 destination blocked or inaccessible |
Every app starts as yellow (1 tier only). Green requires Tier 2 configured with successful backup.
**Per-app backup tiers (3 rows per app):**
- **1. mentes** (Tier 1, always present) — Auto badge + "helyi" + last run + contents (e.g., "DB + Konfig + Adatok")
- **2. mentes** (Tier 2, configurable for ALL apps) — one of:
- Configured: method (rsync/restic) + destination + schedule + last run + status + contents + browsable indicator (folder icon for rsync) + action buttons
- Not configured: "1. mentes auto" + "Nincs 2. masolat" + settings link
- **3. mentes** (Tier 3, placeholder) — grayed out "Hamarosan" + "tavoli (offsite)" + future note
**Backup contents per app** (shown per tier):
- Apps with DB + HDD: "DB + Konfig + Adatok"
- Apps with DB only: "DB + Konfig"
- Apps with HDD, no DB: "Konfig + Adatok"
- Apps with neither: "Konfig"
**Deploy page** shows cross-drive (Tier 2) configuration form for **all deployed apps**,
not just those with HDD data. Non-HDD apps can configure destination, method, and schedule.
**Other sections:**
- Schedule overview with next run times for DB dump, restic, prune
- Snapshot history table (last 20 snapshots aggregated from all per-drive repos, sorted by time)
- Storage overview card (total size across repos, snapshot count, DB dump count/size, encryption key with show/copy)
- Restore section: app dropdown → snapshot dropdown → restore type info → confirmation checkbox → execute
---
### 3. Storage Management
The storage subsystem handles the full lifecycle of external storage: detection, initialization, path registration, and data migration.
#### Disk Scanning (`internal/storage/scan.go`)
- `ScanDisks()` uses `lsblk -J -b` for block device enumeration
- System disk detection via host fstab parsing (`/host-fstab`) + UUID resolution via `blkid`
- Partitions enriched with filesystem type, UUID, and label from direct `blkid` probing (Docker containers have incomplete udev cache)
- Returns `AvailableDisks` (non-system, non-loop, non-CDROM) and `SystemDisks` separately
- Handles NVMe (`nvme0n1p1`), SCSI (`sdb1`), and eMMC (`mmcblk0p1`) naming
#### Disk Initialization Wizard (`internal/storage/format.go`)
A step-by-step UI at `/settings/storage/init`:
1. **Scan** — Lists available disks with model, size, partition info
2. **Select** — User picks a disk and enters a mount name (e.g., `hdd_1`)
3. **Confirm** — User types "FORMAZAS" to confirm destructive operation
4. **Format pipeline**: `wipefs` → `sfdisk` (GPT) → `mkfs.ext4` → `blkid` UUID → backup fstab → append UUID-based fstab entry → mount → `findmnt` verification → `chown 1000:1000` → create `appdata/`, `backups/`, and `Dokumentumok/` subdirectories
5. Auto-registers new storage path in settings.json
6. Smart partition detection: skips repartitioning for existing empty partitions
Safety guards: system disk detection, mount path conflict check, confirmation required, progress channel for real-time UI feedback.
#### Storage Path Registry (`internal/settings/settings.go`)
Multiple external storage paths supported with:
- **Label**: Human-readable name (editable inline)
- **Default flag**: New deploys use this path by default
- **Schedulable flag**: Path appears in deploy dropdown
- **Auto-discovery**: On startup, scans deployed apps' `HDD_PATH` values and registers unknown paths
- Thread-safe CRUD: Add, Remove, SetDefault, SetSchedulable, SetLabel
#### Data Migration (`internal/storage/migrate.go`)
Move app data between storage paths (e.g., SSD → HDD, HDD → new HDD):
1. Validate: stack exists, deployed, has HDD data, target differs from source
2. Estimate total size, check free space on target
3. Stop the application
4. `rsync -a --info=progress2` per mount path with real-time progress parsing
5. Update `app.yaml` HDD_PATH to new location
6. Start the application
7. **Rollback on failure**: reverts config, restarts on old storage
Progress UI at `/stacks/{name}/migrate` with byte counter and percentage.
#### Stale Data Cleanup
After migration, the deploy page detects leftover data on previous storage paths:
- Shows path, size, and a delete button
- Two-step confirmation required
- Protected paths (appdata, backups, media, Dokumentumok) cannot be deleted
#### FileBrowser Mount Sync
When storage paths are added or removed, `syncFileBrowserMounts()` auto-regenerates FileBrowser's `docker-compose.yml` with volume mounts for all registered paths, then recreates the container.
---
### 4. Monitoring & Health
#### System Health Checks (`internal/monitor/healthcheck.go`)
`RunHealthCheck()` evaluates multiple subsystems and returns a `HealthReport` with status (`ok`/`warn`/`fail`):
| Check | Warning | Critical |
|-------|---------|----------|
| Disk usage (SSD/HDD) | >= 90% | >= 95% |
| Memory | available < 512MB | available < 256MB |
| CPU temperature | >= 75C | >= 85C |
| Docker daemon | — | unreachable |
| Protected containers | — | not running |
| Storage paths | not a mount point (data on SSD) | path inaccessible, disk >= 95% |
Backup destination validation (`CheckBackupDestination`) has tiered checks:
- Path doesn't exist → critical/blocked
- Not writable → critical/blocked
- Same block device as root → warning (data on system drive)
- Disk >95% full → critical/blocked
- Disk >90% full → warning
#### Healthchecks.io Integration (`internal/monitor/pinger.go`)
Five ping UUIDs for external monitoring:
- **Heartbeat**: every 5 min (simple "I'm alive")
- **System Health**: periodic health check results
- **DB Dump**: after nightly database dumps
- **Backup**: after nightly restic backup
- **Backup Integrity**: weekly `restic check` result
3-attempt retry with 2-second backoff. Pinger never fails the caller.
#### Metrics Store (`internal/metrics/`)
- **SQLite with WAL mode** for concurrent reads during collection
- **System metrics**: CPU%, memory (total/used/available), temperature, load average — collected every 60 seconds
- **Container metrics**: CPU%, memory, network I/O, block I/O per container
- Downsampled queries for chart time ranges (1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, 30d)
- 30-day auto-prune via daily scheduler job
#### Monitoring Page
Full-page system monitor at `/monitoring`:
- **System Overview**: hostname, OS, kernel, CPU model/cores, uptime
- **System Metrics Charts**: 4 line charts (CPU, Memory, Temperature, Load) in 2x2 grid
- **Container Resources**: horizontal bar charts (CPU% and Memory per container)
- **Per-container Detail**: click-to-expand historical charts
- **Remote Monitoring Status**: shows Healthchecks ping UUID configuration
Chart.js 4.4.7 embedded locally (works in offline environments), dark theme matching site design.
#### Alert System (`internal/web/alerts.go`)
State-based alerts displayed on all pages:
- Sources: health issues, missing ping UUIDs, backup disabled
- Sorted by severity (error > warning > info), capped at 5 visible
- Refreshed every 5 min + on startup
- Monitoring page suppresses ping-related alerts (shown in dedicated table instead)
---
### 5. Notifications
#### Email Delivery
The controller relays notifications through the central hub, which sends emails via the Resend API:
1. Controller detects event (health degradation, backup failure, etc.)
2. Non-blocking POST to hub's `/api/v1/notify` with event details
3. Hub checks customer notification preferences
4. Hub sends Hungarian-language email via Resend
#### Event Types
| Event | Trigger |
|-------|---------|
| `disk_warning` | Disk usage crosses warning/critical threshold |
| `backup_failed` | Nightly backup or DB dump fails |
| `update_available` | New app version detected in catalog |
| `security_update` | Critical security update available |
#### Cooldown System
Per-event-type cooldown (default 6 hours, configurable) prevents notification spam. Only notifies on **status degradation** (ok→warn, ok→fail, warn→fail), not on repeated same-status checks.
#### Preference Sync
Notification preferences (email, enabled events, cooldown) are:
- Stored locally in `settings.json`
- Synced to hub on save and on controller startup
- Hub sync failure doesn't block local save
---
### 6. Update Management
#### App Catalog Sync
- Periodic `git fetch` + `git reset --hard` of the app catalog repo
- Content-hash comparison prevents unnecessary file writes
- Post-sync stack rescan detects new/changed apps immediately
#### Planned Update Classifications
| Marker | Behavior |
|--------|----------|
| No marker | Optional — shown on dashboard, customer clicks "Update" |
| `UPDATE_REQUIRED=true` | Mandatory — auto-applied during next update window |
| `UPDATE_SECURITY=true` | Critical — applied immediately |
---
### 7. Authentication & Settings
#### Session Auth (`internal/web/auth.go`)
- bcrypt password verification with configurable source priority: `settings.json` → `controller.yaml` → no auth (open access)
- 7-day session duration with random 32-byte hex tokens
- `?next=` redirect after login preserves the page the user was visiting
- Session cleanup every 15 minutes
- All sessions invalidated on password change
- Conditional logout link (hidden when auth is disabled)
#### Settings Persistence (`internal/settings/settings.go`)
Runtime-mutable settings in `settings.json` (separate from infrastructure config):
| Section | Contents |
|---------|----------|
| `password_hash` | bcrypt hash override |
| `notifications` | email, enabled events, cooldown hours |
| `db_validations` | per-DB dump validation results (survives restarts) |
| `app_backup` | per-app map: enabled flag, cross-drive config (method, dest, schedule, runtime status) |
| `storage_paths` | registered paths with label, default flag, schedulable flag |
| `cross_drive_restic_password` | auto-generated restic password for cross-drive repos |
All public methods use `sync.RWMutex`. File writes are atomic (`.tmp` + rename).
#### Settings Page (`/settings`)
Three sections:
1. **System config** — read-only display of `controller.yaml` values
2. **Password change** — current + new + confirm, min 8 chars
3. **Storage paths** — add/remove, edit labels, set default, toggle schedulable, per-path app list with sizes
4. **Notifications** — email, event checkboxes, cooldown hours, test email button
---
### 8. Central Hub Reporting
#### Report Push (`internal/report/`)
Periodic JSON push (default every 15 min) to the central felhom-hub service:
- System: hostname, OS, CPU, memory, disk usage, uptime
- Containers: running/stopped counts, per-container CPU/memory
- Backup: last run, success, repo stats, snapshot count, restic password (for disaster recovery)
- Health: current status, issues, warnings
- Stacks: deployed apps with versions and states
Bearer token authentication, 3-attempt retry with 5-second backoff.
#### Hub Dashboard
The hub service (separate Go app in the `felhom.eu` repo) provides:
- Multi-customer overview table with status indicators
- Customer detail page with system/storage/containers/backup/health sections
- Color coding: green (<30min), yellow (30-60min), red (>60min since last report)
- 90-day report retention with daily prune

## Configuration
### Controller config (`controller.yaml`)
Single YAML file per customer, infrastructure-only. Does **not** contain app-specific config.
Key sections:
```yaml
customer:
name: "Demo Felhom"
id: "demo-felhom"
paths:
stacks_dir: "/opt/docker/stacks"
data_dir: "/opt/docker/felhom-controller/data"
system_data_path: "/mnt/sys_drive" # NVMe/system drive — fallback for apps without HDD
git:
repo_url: "https://gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/app-catalog-felhom.eu.git"
sync_interval: "15m"
# Per-drive backup paths are computed automatically:
# <drive>/backups/primary/restic/ — restic repo per drive
# <drive>/backups/primary/<app>/db-dumps/ — DB dumps per app
# <drive>/backups/secondary/ — cross-drive rsync + restic
backup:
enabled: true
restic_password_file: "/opt/docker/felhom-controller/data/restic-password"
db_dump_schedule: "02:30"
restic_schedule: "03:00"
retention: { keep_daily: 7, keep_weekly: 4, keep_monthly: 6 }
monitoring:
health_interval: "5m"
ping_uuids:
heartbeat: "uuid-here"
system_health: "uuid-here"
db_dump: "uuid-here"
backup: "uuid-here"
backup_integrity: "uuid-here"
hub:
enabled: true
url: "https://hub.felhom.eu"
api_key: "bearer-token-here"
system:
reserved_memory_mb: 384 # RAM reserved for OS + controller
```
Environment variable overrides: `FELHOM_LOGGING_LEVEL=debug`, `FELHOM_HUB_ENABLED=false`, etc.
### Runtime settings (`settings.json`)
Auto-managed by the controller. Contains password hash overrides, notification preferences, per-app backup configs, storage path registry, DB validation cache. All writes are atomic.
### Per-app config (`app.yaml`)
Auto-generated during deployment. Contains env vars, locked fields list, deploy timestamp. Secret fields are locked (read-only after first deploy).

## Scheduler Jobs
| Job | Type | When | Purpose |
|-----|------|------|---------|
| status-refresh | periodic | 30s | Refresh container states |
| stack-scan | periodic | 2m | Rescan stacks directory |
| heartbeat | periodic | 5m | Ping Healthchecks "I'm alive" |
| system-health | periodic | configurable | Health checks + alert refresh |
| backup-cache | periodic | 5m | Refresh backup status cache |
| hub-report | periodic | 15m | Push report to central hub |
| db-dump | daily | 02:30 | Database dumps |
| backup | daily | 03:00 | Restic backup → cross-drive chain |
| backup-integrity | daily | Sun 04:00 | Restic check |
| metrics-prune | daily | 04:00 | Delete metrics older than 30 days |
All daily jobs use Europe/Budapest timezone. Skip-if-running prevents concurrent execution. Panic recovery in all jobs.

## Build & Deploy
### Build
```bash
# On build server (192.168.0.180)
cd ~/build/felhom-controller
git -C ~/git/deploy-felhom-compose pull
./build.sh v0.14.1 --push
```
### Deploy on customer node
```bash
# On customer node (e.g., 192.168.0.162)
cd /opt/docker/felhom-controller
sudo docker pull gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:v0.14.1
sudo sed -i 's|image: gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:.*|image: gitea.dooplex.hu/admin/felhom-controller:v0.14.1|' docker-compose.yml
sudo docker compose up -d
```
**Important:** Always use `docker compose up -d`, NOT `docker compose restart` — restart doesn't pick up new images.
### Docker Requirements
The controller container needs:
- `privileged: true` (disk operations)
- Docker socket mount (`/var/run/docker.sock`)
- `/mnt` mount with `propagation: rshared` (container mounts visible to host)
- `/dev` mounted as `/host-dev` (block device access)
- `/etc/fstab` mounted as `/host-fstab` (persistent mount config)
See `docker-compose.yml` for the full volume configuration.
