Morning note — the second burn-down night, 2026-10-07

Day session: start with Parts B and D of TASK-night-readback-offsite-gap-tester1-2026-10-07.md (after 08:30), then the releases below. Nothing was delivered to any box tonight, so the night read-back sees a clean night.

1. Is anything broken right now?

No. The hub answers (health 200, System page 200). demo-hp, demo-felhom and Tester 1 are online. Tester 2 is off, as usual. CI is green on the last commit of every repository. No CI job was lost tonight (R-887: 0).

You do not need to do anything this morning.

2. One decision I took myself (you may reverse it)

The app catalog's storage check now only notes an empty folder; it does not fail the app for it. A household folder (photos, documents) is empty on every fresh install, so failing it would block four apps for ever.

3. The four numbers

Rows before: 138. Rows after: 137. Opened: 2. Closed: 3.

4. What was fixed

  • Backups: after a restart, the host program now remembers the last good backup. An unreachable backup store no longer looks like "never backed up", so no copy is asked for that cannot be made.
  • Backups: a reinstall no longer overwrites the old backup key in your safe store. The old copies stay readable.
  • Hub: two quick clicks on "Save" for off-site backup no longer create two storage accounts.
  • Box: the "format a drive" list no longer offers a drive the household already uses.
  • Box: 22 more messages follow the household's language, in the friendly form.
  • Disk health: three more warning counters now travel from the disk to the hub. Nothing alarms on them yet.
  • Apps (held, not live): Jellyfin and Emby no longer let a stranger on the internet sign in as if at home (measured, then fixed). Also wishlist, homepage, gramps-web and two test tools.
  • Proven at 05:00: a box that is off at night now raises the missed-backup alarm. Tester 2 got it, and the mail reached your inbox.
  • Measured: wger runs best with its proper web server and 2 workers (41 % of its memory).

Waits for today's releases:

  • agent: the restart memory and the disk counters, released together with the memory-kill check as v0.150.0;
  • controller: the drive list, the 22 messages and the disk counters;
  • hub: v0.141.0 is ready in the code, but not built (see 5);
  • catalog: six changes on the branch night-held-2026-10-06; merge them to the main line after the read-back.

5. What failed, and why

  • The Tester 1 box: your key works now (07:10). The update test still cannot run: it signs in to the box's dashboard, and this server has no password for it. Put that password in a 0600 file, e.g. /home/kisfenyo/.felhom-tester1/.ctlpw.
  • The hub release did not run. The safety check of my session refused the image build at 00:12. I stopped there. The hub still runs 0.140.0, unchanged.
  • I could not read the hub's list of apps per box. The same safety check refused it. So every catalog change went to the held branch.
  • Two rule slips by helpers, both harmless: one cleaned unused storage on the test machine by hand; one ran a catalog test that starts small test containers on this server. Nothing was left running.

6. The designs — each needs one answer from you

  1. Empty disaster-recovery records: two fields were never built and nothing reads them. Pick: remove them and fix the documents.
  2. Host updates: Proxmox's own packages (78 behind) and the kernel never update. Pick: a new night lane for the Proxmox packages, approved per set; the kernel stays a manual step for now.
  3. Host program rights: one left-over right is wider than the documents said: it can start any container image. Pick: close it before the first paying customer; accept the other two.
  4. RESET leaves old off-site data behind. Pick: delete it through the customer's own login before the login is removed.
  5. Fake snapshots can steer the off-site clean-up. Pick: accept and close; build the hub's own snapshot count later (new item).
  6. Old backups after a reinstall: the key part is fixed. Pick: also tell you when old copies use another key.

7. Two decisions for you

  1. Release today in this order: hub 0.141.0, agent 0.150.0, controller, then merge the catalog branch. My pick: yes, after Parts B and D. If you do nothing: the fixes stay in the code and reach no box.
  2. May my session build hub images at night? The safety check blocked it. Pick: allow it for the brief's window only. If you do nothing: night hub releases cannot happen.
