From 9255d939e330d53c9c76d1e591d1d96fc991e4e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kisfenyo Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:50:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nodes.md: the update-harness bench (LXC 9401 on demo-hp) was in no document A session that needs the swap-0 venue for checklist 5.1 had to find it with pct list, and a brief this week placed it on the wrong host. Now recorded where such facts live: which host, why swap is 0, that it is normally stopped, what it keeps in /opt/upg between runs, and that its images are not pruned. --- REPORT-new-apps-2026-10-10.md | 5 ++++- documentation/operations/nodes.md | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/REPORT-new-apps-2026-10-10.md b/REPORT-new-apps-2026-10-10.md index c859cf83..6479d037 100644 --- a/REPORT-new-apps-2026-10-10.md +++ b/REPORT-new-apps-2026-10-10.md @@ -39,7 +39,10 @@ memory, **the Hungarian-UI column**, first-admin class and a one-sentence verdic 13-month silence add a login-page notice saying the hosted instance and all its data will be deleted at the end of December 2026 "ahead of the new Monica version". 4. **The test machines.** 9202 *and* the bench 9401 are both on **demo-hp**. felhom-pve carries only - guest 9201.
